in this gentle rain and soft cold wind,
Bobby have moved on..
“Bobby..i miss you so much….” :’(
“It’s tears from God that is falling for your sake.
It’s wind of calmness that blows to console us on your behalf.
It’s the time we say “you’ve done your very best. We love you.”
We will remember you every moment and you’ll always be a part of our family.
Rest in peace and farewell…
…B.B.”

Going weak..
28.11.2011
Bobby dear has been enduring with this pain for a month going skinner day by day, till his bones are shown. He had diarrhea everyday, weak and lethargic. I brought him to the vet a few times, had medications but still no cure to his diarrhea. His blood test shows everything is healthy. So on advise, we decided to do an ultra scan on his abdominal. They found an object in his intestines, and that it can’t be passed out. It has also caused his intestines to be inflamed.
09.12.2011: still looking bright :)
After a week of the ultrascan, the unknown objects are still not being pass out from Bobby’s body. And his vet incharge- Dr Lee, decided that Bobby should be hospitalised as he is too weak and dehydrated.
I believe you are strong Bobby..
10.12.2011: before the operation
Made a tough decision to let him go through the operation and have that object taken out. He is old. We picked him up 13years ago, no one knows how old he is then. Dr Lee his vet in charge says he has minimum chance to surviving the operation. I got to give him a chance, to try to survive. As advise, if he did not go for the op, he will still slowly and painfully go away. I believed that he will make it, that he is not going to leave us anytime soon, he is still possible to live for another few years.
10.12.2011- the unknown objects extracted
Encouragement
10.12.2011: he survived the very risky operation!
Last Saturday. So he went through the operation and he survived. He woke up and I said “Hi, my brave boy!” However, Dr Lee says, his condition still doesnt look good. The next 5 days is critical. Visiting him 2 to 3 times a day, encouraging him, to be healthy again, to let him know I will be there for him, like how he always do for me. Papa was away on a trip that few days, but he quickly get to him when he is back. Papa loves him too.
11.12.2011
He did move around quite abit and the nurses told us that he doesnt like the hello kitty towel. Which after he is being tucked properly under, he will stand and so it will be off his body.
12.12.2011- papa visited him, calling out loud BOBBY
Going home..
13.12.2011
Wednesday. Dr Lee suggested Bobby should go home already. They have done all that they can to help Bobby. His blood values are starting to go healthy, but Bobby still doesnt look improving. She also say that when he is home, he may look and get well better since he will be at home, somewhere more farmiliar and comfortable for him. But, there are some cases where they will just go off when they are home, since it is somewhere more familiar and comfortable to go.
13.12.2011: a message to korkor who is overseas..
Looking good
15.12.2011: Review at the clinic after a night back home. He doesnt like the clinic, hence that look. He does look much more alert at home!
At home, Bobby does look more lively and alert. We help him up and he went for a few rounds of walk around his area. He pooed (still diarrhea- orangy,red. not good). And peeed. Then walk some more and he collasped, laying there for a rest. He is so weak that he just collasped. Anyway, I am happy enough that he did walked, pee and poo. He drank his food when I fed him too. He is looking good and I am praying for his speedy recovery. That night, I woke up every 2 hours to give him injectable medications and food. To be glad enough, he poo in the morning again. He is actually quite smart that dispite he is weak and unable to stand to release his bowels, he tried to shift and move slowly away so that his ass is outside of his sleeping area, keeping his sleep area clean.
15.12.2011: trying to drink on his own
Timber the BFF
15.12.2011
Timber is quite excited when he sees the return of his good friend. And when Bobby collasped, Timber went infront of him, whining, barking a little, swinging his tail. It seems to me that Timber is actually trying to cheer Bobby up. Trying to give him the encouragement that he needs to be well again. Afterall, they have played and fight and learn from each other the past 7, 8 years..
Pretty sight
17.12.2011- first beautiful poo after so long of diarrhea..
Saturday morning, he poo a beautiful one. Never in my life am I so happy over a dog’s poo. That even when he pee for the first time after the operation while I am carrying him, I had my arm drenched in his pee and I said, “Good boy, Bobby! Good Boy!”
Slowly..
17.12.2011- darling boy looking all so tired..
Saturday. Appointment to meet Dr Lee for his review and also, his body is swelling up with water. Dr Lee says he needs to be kept in for a few hours of treatment to his body. Bought Bobby back home in the late afternoon. And then back to Dr Lee again in the evening- I could not get his injectables into his body. And she said his limbs are all swelled up now that no veins are in sight for the injectables. She also say in a nice and concern way that she is quite doubtful that he will get well with this.
17.12.2011: Hello Bobby, I love how you sleep like this.It seem so comfortable that you are away from all pain..
17.12.2011: back to the clinic. and Dr Lee gave her negative review..
Its ok Bobby..
18.12.2011: timber companionship
Sunday. He looks weaker today. He pooed water in the morning, and I clean him up with warm water like to a baby. He did walk around too, but lesser. Fed him in the morning. In the afternoon after class. Evening and night. At night, he goes even weaker. He refuses his food and he looks very very tired. It feels that he is having so much pain in him that it is like he is just holding on because he couldnt let go. And so that’s when I tell him with tears in my eyes..”It’s ok Bobby..it’s ok. If you want to go already, just go. Dont worry, I am ok. I do not want to see you suffering anymore. I love you darling, I love you so much and you will always be in me.” That night, I kissed him good night and I left him with his friends where he will feel most comfortable. Somehow, some part in me knows that it is time for him to be gone..
Good bye..
19.12.2011- good bye bobby..
Maggie came knocking on my room door and I jumped up. Ran down and saw him there. With a puddle of Poo. Apparently he had cleared himself before passing on. Cleared him up in warm water again. I know he is not going to feel the warm or the coldness, but still i cleaned him up in warm water in this cold weather. I want his warmness to stay. Knocked on Papa’s door and told him. Papa came down with Sis. Both in tears. And I know, Papa will miss him dearly too. Papa shouted his name “BOBBY! BOBBY!” and We cried. All along, Timber slept with him, staying by his side, looking upset that he had lost a friend…
19.12.2011: Timber 第一次不怕雨，陪伴着它的老伴。。
I love you darling..
The Cremation guy came in the pouring rain an hour later. I carried and hug him for one last time. Giving a one last kiss and I place him in the van. “Go Bobby..go to your new friends alright. Go find Senior Lucky, he will be there waiting for you. And Jenny too. I love you darling..”
In this gloomy soft weather, no angry thunder and lightings. Bobby should have been cremated by now. Bobby ashes will be shattered in to the sea with all the other little friends.
—
Mum says maybe Bobby knows that I am getting married already, that I have found the one to spend my future with..and that’s why he feels that its the right time for him to leave.. Which I feel that it does sound possible as I have always regard Bobby as my prince..that one day he will “poof” and turn from a doggie to my prince in shining armor like how the frog prince does.
Maybe he could have given up some days earlier..but sis went for a holiday trip. And I asked sis to tell Bobby to wait for her return before going off. True enough, he did waited till the day sis return home and that everyone have come back home from the trips.
Maybe he know that he will not survives the next few months..and so he decided to leave now. So we will have a happy chinese new year and wedding ceremony.

Anyway, Bobby you are and will be dearly missed by all of us.
PS: Hello Bobby, I miss you..I really do..and I am glad that all pain has been taken away from u..Amitabha♥
With much loves, hugs and kisses.
