About Cookie

There are so many things I want to write about but did not find the luxury of time to sit down to ramble. The past 2 weeks have been pretty eventful.

Cookie has been on my mind quite often of late. I have been spending time sitting by her, just watching her. My family members do that too. I was just preparing my brother for the time when we will have to watch Cookie die. She's already 13 this year. According to research, mongrels have an average life span of 13.3 years. She's still eating, drink and shitting well though. It was that day when she hid under my mum's bed one day and didn't respond when all of us called her name when we became more concerned. Because research also showed that when dogs are dying, they tend to hide/run away.

There are times when I will just tear thinking about the time when she dies/when we put her to sleep. My brother looked like he wanted to cry too when I was speaking to him regarding Cookie's future. My sister has been wanting to take more photos of Cookie. My mum has been checking Cookie periodically for abnormality like lumps and bumps.

As it can be seen, I have been spending a bit of time reading up about dogs; the common ailments of aging dogs; columbarium, cemetry and crematorium for pets. They operate 24 hours. I wrote the number of Mount Pleasant Pet Hospital and James Tan, the mobile vet, on the fridge just in case I am not at home when anything happens to Cookie.

I am so not looking forward to the time when we have to deal with the death of Cookie. Big sigh! One of my CG members selling a magic juice called Xango known to have shrink tumours in humans. haha.. I might give some of that to Cookie. :)

Enough of Cookie. Next...
