Devastated

Words cannot express how I feel right now. Its been like a nightmare that I keep playing back in my head. How could this happen? With just a snap they were gone. Forever. No way of making things right. My best friend and my baby... gone.

Every time I remember Siobe, I can't believe something as simple as a routine teeth and ear cleaning could turn into a nightmare. With all my heart I want to pray that Rebadulla pays for this. From what I have heard, I am not the first and definitely not the last.

Seeing her lifeless body lying sideways. Her son, Enzo beside her, dead as well. Why? She was the love of my life. She died so painfully. Her tongue was swollen with bite marks on them. Her teeth were bleeding. She was in so much pain that she actually defacated. Horribly similar to her mate, Buknoy, when he died of cancer.

I would have understood if she was sick and the operation went wrong. But she was so healthy. Probably only got colds in her life. She was the sweetest dog I have ever had. I was looking forward to more years with her. She brought so much joy to all of us and just like that, a insensitive asshole takes her and her family away. All 3 of my dogs dead.

To all those who read this blog, spread the word. If you love your pets, NEVER take them to Rebadulla. He should be stopped. This is too much. Studying in Iloilo, I already heard about him being the dog killer. I only wanted to try their grooming station. It was the very first time and it went horribly wrong.

How can they live with themselves? How can they take away someone's companion and not feel any remorse. These are like people's children. The mere fact that they are sent to be groomed is that their owners feel love for them and actually spend both money and time on them.

My heart aches so much right now. As many activities I have at the moment and the happiness we all have for family who are visiting now, the moment I enter my room and shut the door, I remember her. She was the reason I changed my carpet into wood. I see her pillow, untouched and still has her scent. I open my closet and their unopened Zwitsal shampoo and powder are still all lined up. Bought their dogfood last week. I can't bear going to the kitchen right now. Their cages all empty. Just feels colder around here now.

Dreamt of them last night, too. Some people don't get it. But some people do. Its like a part of you goes away. Siobe was there for me during so many trying times. She would just sit and look at me with her tongue sticking out the way it usually does. I miss holding her. I miss having her on my lap, watching her kids play. How she would automatically take her place on my lap and somehow be able to just balance herself and refuse to budge. I miss her chorizo body. Her sniffs and snorts. I miss how she twirls whenever she sees me and when I reach out and rub her back. She was so funny. Whenever she would sleep with me in my room and she would hear Joey come in, she would try to bark, acknowledging that someone was indeed outside my door but she would do it softly so that we wouldn't wake me up and she would keep looking at me to see if she did wake me. She was great with children. Had her washed for Eva to play with. Siobe loved to crawl under my bed. When I was away on vacation, they would see her looking for me and just hide under my bed. Like she was waiting for me to come home. She was always so happy to see me.

I can never have that back again. I don't wish this to happen to anyone who has a pet. i just feel so angry and helpless at the same time.

To Siobe, Enzo and Genie --- killed on Feb. 10, 2009. On my brother's birthday of all days, too.
