stripe died today. She was 12 according to Lex, 15 according to M, but forever the youthful 6 when Lex first got her. She sat quietly beside the passenger seat of the car, the first day I met her. I marveled that she was the most obedient dog I had ever seen. She had a steady pace & a beautiful gait almost like skipping, and followed my lead whenever I walked her. You maintained your beautiful gait & beautiful happy face until you died. I love you so much girl.
Stripe moved house 3 times with me, from Kinrara to Subang to SS12. Timid as she was, hearing a bark from her was rare. She had the most beautiful eyes & snout that she didn't like me touching. Stripe knew how to sit, raise her paw to me. She raised her paw to Lex, the day before she died.
I always dread Stripe dying & today it has finally happened. I hope you did not suffer much, girl and I am sorry I never got rid of the ticks troubling you. I remember the walks up the hill we always had & how you would pee if you got into the house just so I did not dare scold you. How you got car sick whenever I drove. Remember I brought you home to Kuantan for Chinese New Year. Even Hunters gone. Maybe you will see him in heaven.
My heart is hurting so much knowing I would never hear you get up & shake yourself from head to toe when I get home from work. I miss you girl. I'm sorry if sometimes I'm too busy with life to give you an extra pat on the head.
I love you girl.Wait for me with Hunter & Lucky. We will meet again soon, I promise you.
Rest in peace, Stripe.
