Death of Leslie

20 May 2011 6:20am

I woke up as usual and realised that Leslie was looking in one direction. I went to check his breathing, heartbeat and even smacked his butt. There was no reaction at all...WORST he was stiff.I called dad to wake up and he went to check on Leslie. Dad then shook his head and told me that Leslie had indeed passed away..."Wa Wa Wa" I cried badly in front of his body.

20 May 2011 7am-9:40am

I bathed leslie for the last time with warm water, shampooing his body and made his body as clean as possible. I blew his fur dry with a hairdryer. Dad Prepared a cardboard coffin for him. After bathing, we put Leslie in his final resting place. Then off we went to "Pet Hotel" before 11am for leslie's cremation.

20 May 2011 10.45am-13.30pm

Leslie's body reached "Pet Hotel" at 10.45am. A guy called "Joe" introduced himself as dog undertaker and he explained the cremation procedures and fees. Then his partner and him took Leslie's cardboard coffin and to the crematorium. The lid opened and Leslie's cardboard coffin was inside. Then Joe's partner closely the crematorium slowly and i cried badly, wanting to see Leslie but i could not. Dad held me back and consoled me. At this time, alot of dogs were barking loudly as if they were mourning for ths loss of Leslie.

20 May 2011 13.30pm-14.00pm
Leslie's ashes were put in the urn and dad and i prayed for his soul. I whispered to him that we were going home.Leslie,我们回家了。。。回家了

One night before leslie's death

19 May 2011

Leslie was breathing his very last this night. Never did i expect that he will be gone. I wiped his eyes as he was crying before i went to bed.
Dad put a blanket to cover his lower part of body.

Leslie's last trip to kitchen

Two weeks ago, Leslie made his last trip to Kitchen...from there, he lied there eating and drinking and sleeping. He defecated in the Kitchen too, his urine was yellowish-brown and dad and i had to wipe his area often.

Things were not as it seemed as Leslie's legs were weaker. Leslie could walk a little bit but could not go to East Coast Park.

I bought calcium supplements from Pet Lovers Centre

Sep 2010

Dad had gone to AMK Hub's Pet Lovers Centre earlier and recommended me to buy some calcium supplements. Without hesitation, i bought for him and let him try the medicine.

Dec 2010

Leslie could walk abit with the help of the calcium supplements. I was relieved to see his legs improving.

Leslie's legs gave trouble to his walking

Leslie's legs started to give him trouble and he couldn't walk far...wobble abit and couldn't stand straight. He did not despair and give up. He was determined to recover. One day earlier, dad told him that we would take him to Animal Clinic to send him early death.The next day, So bro and i took him to Animal Clinic where he received Accupunture...he was reluntant to lie at the table to have his x-ray and accupunture as he thought he was going to die.

Leslie's final walk at East Coast Park

Leslie's final walk at East Coast Park was in Aug 2010...I remembered he came and jumped to me when i met him near the underpass leading to NTUC. I sensed he was not as strong as before. But he insisted to follow me to NTUC but i told he needed to accompany Dad home.He was rather afraid of Dad and at most times, he walked silently behind dad.
