If I can love..

..you more....sigh...


My family dog of 14 years, Bronnie, just passed away on Friday, so yes, it's been a rough weekend for me, not to mention the common cold Baby G has to suffer. Just like an episode of Oprah, I really really regret that I didn't have the chance to say goodbye, stand by her when she needs me, or say I love you, or show her how she means to me, no, I just took her being for granted, it's (always) too late now and I deeply regret that. With all those Oprah episodes and movies and books with similar moral I am still an ignorant idiot who think of Bronnie as just another old furniture in the house.

My brother put a song by Jackson 5, Ben, into a really good interpretation of Bronnie's life. She was taken from the street by my father, along with her sister, at merely 6 months or so, given by my father to his acquaintance for another months, and then we finally adopted her when she was about 1 year old. Her sister stayed with the acquaintance, but her life was even shorter. Bronnie had many great personalities and you can say that she was an "easy" pet. She required very little pampering, rarely got sick, ate almost anything, slept almost anywhere, and very easily toilet trained (she's even the one who refused to took a leak everywhere, she had a favorite spot in our garden). She's hug-able (you can notice her cute chubby stature) and always in a good (not the too excited one) mood. Maybe that's the reason I took her for granted. Sigh. I can go on and on and I still have that hole in my heart. I can't never be the same person again now.



I need to move on, be very strong. If you're kind enough, please help me immortalized Bronnie by using this patterned paper of her to your creation. Please feel free to use it any way you can. here.

  1. bronnie - such a beautiful dog.

    you know, my dog foxie, was a labrador, died at the old age of 14 or 15 when i was about 10. I grew up with him. i will always consider him a family member, and he will always be in my heart forever. i know his soul is looking over me, protecting me still.

    i understand what you're going through. dogs are always by our side, protecting us and loving us. they never hold a grudge.

    bronnie looks like such a sweet dog. im sure she knows how much you love her =)

    i love the digital art you created of her.

    p.s. thank you for your lovely comment.would you like to exchange links?

  3. I'm sorry to hear this.. I'm sure Bronnie is in good place with the Angels now and she wouldn't wish to see you sad.

    Sometimes I look at my Nono and imagine what will happen if he were to leave me one day. The thought of it was unbearable but still, I know that's life and nothing last forever. At least we'd learn to treasure everyone around us now. Be strong, Ning! :)

  6. I really feel for you, it is so heart breaking to lose someone you love. Although you think you should have done more I'm sure your dog felt your love everyday. She will always be a part of your life, even if you can't see her. As time goes by you will find she is always with you, in your heart. Take care and give your baby lots of cuddles xo

  11. I'm glad that you posted this - this makes me realize that I need to be more attentive to my faithful 'Gracie'. She is a 11 year old cocker spaniel and I have had a feeling lately that her time is coming.

    Take care and you'll see her someday - she's up there waiting and watching over you.

  20. Dogs don't just go to heaven. They go to Rainbow Bridge. And when you die you will be reunited with your dog. I do truly believe that. I'm so sorry for your loss.

  23. I just ran into your post and truly feel your pain. My sweet sweet German Sheppard, Storm passed away 1.5years ago at the age of 13 from cancer. He fought hard and I fought hard with him and he died at home in my arms an hour before I was on my way to work. Just thinking about it still gives me such pain and tears. Even his team of vets choked up and sent flowers for him. I miss him deeply but feel so blessed to have had a wonderful companion for all those years.

    Take relief in knowing that your pup is in a good place where there's no pain or suffering and is still watching over you. The feeling of guilt (I hate to say) will never go away. That's just how we are as humans and always feel we could/should have done more. But beating ourselves over it will never help.

    Take time to grieve and before you know it the cute stories and memories will take over the pain more often.

    Here are my little pups at play:
