PET PARENTING –
LOVE AND LOYALTY
Last Monday,
one week ago, when my pet dog Sherry was in a critical condition, dangerously ill
with a life-threatening illness, in the veterinary hospital, we had two
choices:
1. Put her to
sleep (Euthanasia)
2. Try our best
to save her life and put in all our efforts to nurse her out of her severe illness
We chose the
second option.
The last one
week has passed in a daze – twice a day visits to the veterinary clinic for
Sherry’s treatment, her diet, her medicines, her twice a day injections of
insulin, sitting with Sherry, feeding her, talking to her and comforting her –
all of us, my wife, my son, daughter-in-law, and daughter, even my old mother
and mother-in-law, and, most importantly, the veterinary doctors, we are all contributing,
trying our best to save Sherry.
For me, Sherry
is not a dog – she is a member of my family – and I will try and do everything
possible for her like I would do for my children, for Sherry is just like a
human daughter to me.
For 8 long
years, Sherry has given me her unconditional love and devoted loyalty.
Now, it is time
for me to give her the same love and loyalty in return.
