R.I.P Barkly Boy… @ 31/7/2012

It was a sad day to my family as we found our big house dog had finally decided let go himself when sis Karen banged our bedroom door early in the morning…. Barkly boy was with us since he was a puppy where sis Karen bought him back from a pet shop around Petaling Street. Although Barkly wasn’t a pure breed and without certificate but we still love him very much. He was such a cute little puppy that braves enough to jump / felt himself down when we put him high on top of a basket that used to be his bed.

As time goes by, Barkly became smarter and smarter. He guarded our house responsibly whenever there is a stranger walks near to our house gate, welcome and make sure we were safely entered our house boundaries if so happens that he is off from his lash. Besides, Barkly boy remains positive even though he knew he was abandoned for a certain period when sis Karen moved out from our house and was not by his side. He was truly a positive and strong boy when he was first diagnosed with lymphoma cancer about 1 month ago. Pity him not only had to go through all sorts of scanning and diagnosis, he even had to blindly suffer from neuter surgery as advised by the vet that may ease his illness but not at the end. Aside, we sensed that he felt embarrassed as he gets weaker and weaker day by day where he no longer able to guard our house, no longer able to walk and eat… till we have to take care of him in reverse. We also felt that Barkly boy forced himself to stay alive despite that he was actually deeply suffer because he worried nobody else could guard us if he left due to both his brothers were toy dog species. We felt the sorrow and take turn to talk to him the night before we plan to euthanize him the next day. We told him that he has gave his very best and we are proud of him, told him not to worry about us as we will be fine, asking him to hint us / let go if he no longer able to stand the deep suffer. Barkly boy eventually waited each of us to got home and talked to him the night before he left… I can clearly remembered that I still able to observe him breathing in a very slow pace before I went to bed 3am+ in the morning just to make sure Barkly boy is still fine. However… :’(

We believed that Barkly boy doesn’t wish to see us in making the difficult euthanize decision and at the same time, doesn’t wish us to sadly see him leaving. Therefore, he had chosen to let go himself quietly in dawn. We made all the afterlife arrangement, cremated his body the next day and brought back his ashes with us at home few days later.

My heartfelt last word… You have never failed to perform your duty & bring laughter to our life… We are proud to have you for the past 11+ years. You will definitely be remembered…
Rest in peace, Barkly… With love~
