Goodbye Gordy

When I first came to Vietnam, my father insisted that we should have a pet, so we can have somebody or something to play with when we get home after work. I was a bit hesitant during those times because there’s only me and Papa at home and there will be no one to feed the dog if we’re both out to work. Nevertheless, we bought a puppy. We named him Gordy and he ended up as our mighty house guard.

Gordy started to be ill last week when one of Papa’s Chinese roosters died. It didn’t take long when Gordy stopped to eat and drink anything. Inah mentioned this when I chatted with her last time and from then on I have kept my fingers crossed that Gordy will survive this. He is one mighty dog and one of my favourites ever, so he needs to stay alive!

Last Tuesday, he still managed to eat even a little and drink some water. But soon after, he will vomit them all. Just right before 12nn, Gordy said goodbye. My sweet Gordy waited for everybody to be around before letting go. My siblings all cried as they watched him depart :( being far from them, I could feel how sad they are at that moment.

My sweet Gordy, may you rest in peace. You will not feel any pain this time and you’ll be with your pals Dags and Bull now. Please say hi to them from me. I will miss you Gordy, I will not be able to see you anymore when I get back to Philippines but your memories will be all over the place.
