I am sad today. I mean we, including every member in our family. see a dog of ours died this morning, his name is Bruno.

Bruno has been sick for almost two weeks. he was diagnosed to have "distemper," you might not be familiar with the term but for the record the vet said that only a few get to survive the disease. i will not go into details on how it destroyed his health but he sure was in a pitiful state. the vet suggested euthanasia but of course we cannot agree, i was the one who talked to her [vet] and i asked her to just give me the list of medicines that he would need.

we decided to keep Bruno in our house and there give him medication. since my sister is a nursing student, she was the one who put our dog on dextrose. (hope i said and spelled that right) anyway i think that made him last for a couple of days.

and this morning... well its not hard to guess what came next. i cried a little, but when i first heard the news from my mom who woke me up in the early morn' i wasn't that sad because i prayed the night before to God that if Bruno is gonna make it, to please show us some good signs of recovery but if not well you know.. so i guess, Bruno is tired already of his condition and had to rest. at least we did not took his life (euthanasia)

he had just been with us for a few years, 3 or 4 years. but he was such a nice doggie and really very cute. i remember when he would knock on the french window when we are having lunch or dinner and would ask for some bread. how we would patiently sit to get a reward. how he would make such funny sounds when you are playing with him. how he hates when chubby takes a poop in front of him. and how he loves to hug you or sleep on your lap when you come to see him. he was such a sweet dog. awww that made me sad again.

anyway i hope he is in a nice place now. here some pics of him when he was still a puppy,
