You came to our
lives in a very short period of time… I named you after the name of Kuya
Snow’s Dad, Bogart…In almost three months that you were with us, Kuya Snow
became very fond of you, as you do too… you were best friends…playmates and
companion…you were the only one that Kuya Snow had become very fond of despite
we had a lot of pups in the past before you came…you were the son of Moms
friend pet Boninay, who has physical similarities with Kuya Snow, they were
both white and furry… when you first came to our home, you thought that Kuya
Snow was your Mom.. you would chase him to milk him…but he never mind, and Kuya
Snow became very friendly and playful
with you…unlike now before he left, Dad brought two of your siblings, I named
Maru and Bogart too… Snow was never playful with them… though they would love
to play with him…sometimes I thought, Snow was traumatized when you left us too
soon…I felt very sad that you left us, I felt guilty I had not done too much to
save you… you came just after Kuya Snow got ill the 2nd time in his
life and was recuperating when you came.. you were like a therapy to him… till
one day you developed a huge blister in your tummy…it came out for almost two
weeks…I was about to leave for the City
that time… but couldn’t go, every time I was packing my things, you would go inside
my bag, as if telling me… you are going with me…I couldn’t bring you coz I knew
it would break Kuya Snow’s heart to take away the only friend and playmate he had
in his whole life… I treated you, in a
while it subsided…I thought you would make it…you ate and played with Kuya Snow
for some time, till one day, you didn’t want to eat for breakfast, I put you in
my bed and told you to rest.. I went out to do something… after a while I came
back to the room and as I was approaching the door, I heard you cried…I run to
you….I saw you had your last breathe… as if you just waited for me…I cried and
told you to come back… that am bringing you to the City…but you left…Kuya Snow
became very sad too, he saw you, as I put you on a mat on the floor while
waiting for Dad to bury you…Kuya Snow stayed with you all those times…and I knew
he grieve too for losing his best friend and only playmate…but today, I know both
of you are together now…happily playing like both of you used to do…I love and
miss both of you much…Good bye for now Snow and Bogart my puppy, till we all
meet again…
~Loving You for Always Amo Arlene
