Monday, 4 February 2008, at 2 am in the early morning, my beloved mini pincer… Okudz Alberto (cos I called him ‘black bone’ Okudz in Hok Kiean, and Mom gave him English name Albert), has been killed by my neighbour’s giant kampong dog. I found wound on his neck…
I felt terribly sorry for him as I just brought him for a walk in the afternoon on the day before. And I didn’t know how he could untied himself and ran away in the midnight. My sis heard noises and dogs barking at 2am, guessed it was the time he left us.
Though I ai n’t really a pet lover, somehow I felt emotionally connected to Okudz. Everytime I called his name, he reacted as he understood. Either Okudz or Albert, to both he would straight up standing and eyeball to the caller. What I adore the most about him is the feeling when I brought him for a walk. He’s just so cute and I felt so peaceful. I dunt know, maybe for me… it was a wonderful break out of my routines. I could only do it, maybe twice or three times a week.
So… He would run and sniff the grasses to find the best spot to pee, and… he peed at least 5 times, the last one would be followed with poo. crazy! I have no idea how smell can raise his desire to pee or poo. Then he would scratch-scratch his two (behind) legs to the ground, and do stretching… Oh My God! Really stretch his body like how we war m up before doing exercise. Watching him doing so is such a pleasure for me. I’m not sick, am I?
I remembered the first time Dad brought him home, he’s the only dog that did’t shock or shiver on ‘the first day’. Well, he didn’t bark, but he swang his tail gracefully. The first month he slept at the terrace, he trembled and chilled whenever it rained. Then Mom gave him a carton box, still didn’t warm him enough then. So, daddy made him a house (Bob said it looked ugly, uh), with a very comfortable cushion mat making him slumber all the time. Lazy doggie!
And he only ate meat, meat, and MEAT!
As now he’s not around, afraid Mom will be lonesome as my sis flying back to KL on 16 Feb. Me and my bro commit to spend more time with her. She has insomnia lately, really really bad. I’m so worry about her.
Meanwhile, on the evening Okudz was away, his home-made doghouse was dismissed… but the memory of my playful time at home will always be.
See you in the next life, Okudz.
