In memory of a friend named SUSHI...

Approximately 7pm of the 29th of October of the year 2011  Sushi's life ended..

Her life story .....

sushi on my birthday celebration

      She first came to our house when i was in 2nd year high school forgot the exact date. She came from one of our cousins. She was brought by our father as a surprise to me and my brother.

      She was very small when she first step on our house, just the size of a big mouse.She easily adapted to the new environment.  She became our house stress reliever. She does funny things.

      One of these funny things is she "contracted" some of our neighbor's cats "para apihin niya at mag pakitang gilas samin". At first we didn't noticed this "contract" not until we observed that sushi is sharing her meal with the cats. I think she made good friends with the cats. Another funny thing about her is that her courage is only present when your near her. She will only "attack" or bark at something when we are looking or at least near her. And when she does this "magpapa kampi siya saiyo". She does other intriguing and funny things but the two things above is the most funny of them. 

sushi's first pregnancy

      She is also fond of my other pets, especially the fowls. She likes chasing them while barking at them. Hai.. Memories comes back to me ; it's so sad that she's not here with me anymore.

      After a few months passed and two new dogs came to our house namely sashimi or Bruce and Potchi.

Bruce came first to our house and became sushi's partner but due to their height difference they couldn't mate. Which became the reason for Bruce to be frustrated.Bruce being frustrated is a bit funny because he's just like a man , doesn't want to it, having mood swings, murmuring things i couldn't understand etc etc.

        And then Potchi ,a half Pomeranian half japanese pitz dog, came. Potchi became Sushi's second partner. and unlike Bruce they had puppies. They became a very noisy and very mischievous couple.

      After few months Sushi became pregnant with Potchi as the father.She bore 3 cute puppies namely Coby Raffles and Garfield.

     After a year Sushi was again pregnant and bore 3 cute puppies again but sad to say they died. Two of them died because of the flood the one that survived which I named Otter died after a few weeks from an unknown reason..

     And just this year Sushi became pregnant again.But she died because of it. We still don't know the real cause of her death but we suspected that the puppies inside sushi was already dead which caused complications to Sushi that caused her death. I know that I have also fault in her death because I didn't pay her much attention on her early days of pregnancy I only bothered to pay attention when i felt somethings not right with her.

swollen face of sushi

                 I feel guilty :(

 In the last few days of her life I gave her almost all of my attention even slept at 1 am just staying with her and talking to her that everything;s gonna be alright. Feed her vitamins and my food because I thought she was just losing energy because of her babies. One evening her face became swollen. The day after it i went to a vet to ask about her face because it  suddenly became swollen. She said someone just bit her and that hot compress would do. I was so stupid to think that everything's fine and that she didn't need to see the vet yet. But I was wrong. I should have taken her to the vet. Maybe her life was saved if i did that.

                             

       I'm an idiot and a failure pet owner :(

last bath of sushi

my selfmade nest for sushi 

On her last day.. I bathe her because I made up my mind that the next day I will bring her to a vet. I even made her a new nest. I thought she was improving because her face now isn't swollen but one thing I notice is she couldn't walk. Thinking that this was only cause of her very large tummy and lack of energy I disregarded that.  It was past 6pm when I left sushi in her nest. I took a bath and sleep because I was tired on taking care of Sushi. At around 7 pm a strong rain dropped. At around 8pm when i was about to feed her I saw her lifeless body. Rigor mortis was already present but the body's still hot meaning she died at around 7-8pm. It makes me wanna cry because I think if I didn't left her maybe she's still breathing , fighting or even if she died she will not die alone. 


      My eyes are teary again .. :((( .. I just want to tell you I'm really sorry for leaving you that moment.. for not giving my best attention to you when you needed it.

I will never forget you Sushi..

RIP  SUSHI....
