My dog Chiki! He will always be in my heart!
About 5 yrs ago, my parents and I were in the keys at my Aunt's house. She had 12 pekinese and they all looked alike. I fell in love with one named Chiki. I always could tell him from the bunch just by his personality. I got dumped the day before we left and I begged my parents to let me bring Chiki home. They told me if it would help me over the break-up then he could come home with us. He was our 1st dog! Boy was I happy! Everyone thought he was ugly, but his personality made him beautiful! He would always dance for you when you'd come home! After baths he loved playing torro with the towel. He'd run through the towel when you held it out like a bull fighter! Sometimes he would sneeze in your face when you last expected it. After awhile I knew when he was going to do it.LOL! Well this year after gasperilla, Feb 25. my Dad's b-day I recieved a call from my parents saying he was in the hospital. This was at 7 a.m and I was histarically crying and trying to get ready to drive. My boyfriend ended up driving me to my parents house to get directions to the hospital. I waited too long, I know I should've just gotten directions over the phone. My mom took too long to get ready and my dad took forever printing out directions! I was 5 minutes away from the hospital when my Dad calls, my boyfriend answers. I had a gut wrenching feeling as they got off the phone. He didn't tell me much, but "we're close, turn here". I got there and immediatly found out he had passed. All I could think about was that my Dad dropped him off this morning and he was the last to see him. Like we had dropped him off to be killed. He died around 10 a.m and I was 5 min away to say good bye. I still wonder if he understands I tried! I sit here trying to control my tears and Im trying really hard! We took him home like a funeral ride me driving behind my Dad. My Dad put Chiki in his cardboard box in the back of his miata with the top down. Chiki loved to sit up in the window while Dad drove.I had planned to wake up and go to the Rennessance Fair with my boyfriend and our friend. That my Dad was going to have a good birthday. I went anyways because that's what Chiki wanted me to do.
A month later we adopted a pekinese whose owner tried to crop her ears with ribbons and rubber bands. They got infected and the owner dropped her off in a neighborhood. Lost angels found her and for a month she remained earless without a home. I saw her on the site and fell immediatly in love with her! I brought my mom to a showing and insisted on adoption. Her name is Bella and she's a goof ball and now has a great home with paople who love her. We adopted another dog to keep Bella happy and his name is Paris. Nothing could replace Chiki because he is one of a kind. My Dad made him a casket and put brass handles on it. My mom made a beautiful purple satan, pillowed just like a casket with brass buttons, fit for a king. For his burial Me, my brother, and my parents gathered and screwed in a corner to close his casket. then me and my dad took the ropes on the side; Mom and Kris took the front and back handles. We walked him out to his grave in the front yard. Me and my Dad lowered him in his hole and removed the rope. We said our good byes and went inside. We played jazz music from sad to happy while playing slide show of pictures of him on our T.V. We laughed and cried and moved on since then. Thanks for listening I hope you felt the love he gave us, that we gave him!--
