Saturday, 19th September, 2009, marked four months since Snoopy became invalid. No, he's not paralyzed because he still has feelings in his hind legs. For reasons best known to his nervous system, he just can't walk.
It is hard to believe that I have endured this pain with him for four long months already. It has been a very trying period of my life, physically taxing and emotionally draining. I didn't imagine that in this condition, Snoopy would last this long.
Today is the second day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri and is a public holiday. Unfortunately, Snoopy fell ill yesterday and we would have to wait for the clinic to open for business tomorrow to seek medical attention. Since yesterday afternoon, Snoopy hasn't eaten much though luckily, he still drinks. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.
A situation like this just reminds me why I hate keeping pets. Vets are not available when I need them. I remember a few years ago, Snoopy nearly died during Chinese New Year and he as so sick but all veterinary clinics were closed for almost a week. What a long wait that was! In America, there are animal emergency clinics but not here in Ipoh.
A friend told me yesterday that his mother has taken in a new puppy which is fat and cute. All puppies are cute. I am not going to get my heart stolen by another puppy again!
