Goodnight, Good boi- Mama

 


With our hearts still bleeding for our oldest one Mahoni, we bid an unexpected farewell to the Aslan of Rumah Kecil, Roy.

His health went downhill rapidly, and with three test results, we learned that he had stage IV Chronic Kidney Disease.
I spent days bawling thinking about how we could miss his symptoms and will probably never find comfort even tho we were told, some canines only show them at a much later stage.

If you’ve met him, you'll remember his penjor-like tail and stunning features. Oh, his smoldering eyes. We think he was Eurasian.

He spent his first two years on the street, in abusive homes, and dog meat trade. God's grace led him to our home in 2018.
I remember telling him: “I know it is difficult for you to trust this, but this is your last home. We will never move without you or abandon you on the street.”

Roy departed at home, on his bed in our room, just ten minutes after his loving Dad arrived.
He got what he was promised. A family.

Yovan and I are embracing the kind of grief that we never could have imagined.

This Christmas, we will seek a deeper meaning and connection with God, thanking Him for blessing us with the most unconditional love.

Lastly (but you know I’ll keep saying this), give stray dogs a chance. You will witness how amazing God is.

Good night, "good boi mama.", "roy-co papa."
You surely loved to make dramatic scenes.

A Major Deal

Amidst a sea of Bernie Sanders’ memes, Champ and Major also made global headlines when they ended a first-time, four-year hiatus with no dogs joining the incumbent President at the White House.


The spotlight shone brightly on Major, as he made a historical paw print as the first ever shelter dog to make it to the famous 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue address. 
I am one of those people who celebrated this, and as much as I want to write an essay on its importance, this short post will do for now. 


True, Major may be the luckiest one who made the journey from a shelter to being fostered and then moving to the fanciest of all home addresses. 
I am here to say that in the eyes of all rescued and adopted dogs, your house is a “White House” too. 


They will destroy your sofa, chew your furniture, eat your socks, hide your shoes (the left ones only, God knows why), and keep you awake with their antics. Sure, you have no security guard or a large enough lawn, and they probably take up all the space in your living room alone. But to them, just opening your house is a life altering moment they deserve. A family, a home, and maybe an IG account. 

Please. Seriously consider rescue or adoption, over buying. Changing one dog's life promotes better environment that is free of strays, diseases, muling, and of course abuse.

Also, the narrative will be magical from the dogs’ world of news headlines. It will be better, if not…the best. 

Now, how's this sound?
