Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.

This is our dog named Steph. Well she is a very good dog to be honest. She is very kind. She is kind of bullied by our other dogs and she will just silently resign. She will not fight them back even though it is something for her. Sometimes when we pet her, our other dog Ryza will be mad at her because of the attention and she will just go away and Ryza took over her spot. 

These past few days, she’s been sick. Actually I remember when Typhoon Rolly was devastating the Philippines, she is shivering because it’s cold and when we will give her blanket, she will remove it. After that day she had cold and she’s not eating anymore since that day. We’re not able to see her drink as well so there is no intake of any food and/or water. We tried to make her drink water by forcing it to her by opening her mouth and fill some but she was resisting it. 

Two days ago, she started drinking some water so we have this hope that she will recover. But then a while ago, I was playing my guitar and I can see her breathing is fast and she is really struggling. All I did was to sang her some songs because that’s all I could do. I can feel that she will pass anytime soon. So while we were eating dinner, I saw her lay down somewhere I can see her from my spot. I saw her move her legs like she is out of breathe. She’s like dying when I saw her. But then I shrugged off that idea and I just thought that maybe she just moved like that just because. So after we ate our dinner, I am really worried by that scene I saw so moved closer to her and look if she is still breathing. It started to rain a little so my daddy told her that she will worsen her cold if she stayed there outside. Since it is dark outside, I rushed inside to get my phone for flashlight and look if she is still breathing. It broke my heart when I flashed the light on her. She is not breathing anymore. Her mouth and kind of open and she is lifeless already. I started crying when I realized she is gone. Although I kind of expected it, it still hurts my heart because she is one of the kindest dogs we ever had. We’re sorry Steph because we couldn’t do any better for you. I hope you’re happy there now in heaven and always remember that you have been a good girl. 😊

I will always remember the good days we’re together. You’re our only dog who sleeps like a human with spreading your hind legs. Well I must admit you are the most beautiful dog we ever had as well. You have that beautiful light brown eyes matching your fur. I will always miss you Steph and sorry. I love you forever! 😘
