Thank you everyone for all the kind words and cyber hugs
I was really excited about telling you guys how the day after One Down came back from the vet, he wasn't eating well at first. He didn't eat anything at all, and then at around noon, he was given food again, and this time he ate quite well! In the afternoon, he was really nice and obedient while our uncle applied medicine to his neck as the vet had told him to. He lied down and didn't bother at all. This happened on the 20th of August. It was Squirtle's third death anniversary, and so, I couldn't really turn on Pettalk that day.
On the morning of 21st of August, I was about to make my breakfast, and all along I was really excited about telling you guys how One Down ate properly and had been a good boy the day before. Just then our uncle came and told me One Down had passed away in the night. It still brings tears to my eyes as I think of that moment, even though it's been a week since then. I couldn't really believe what I had heard. I asked him if he was sure and wasn't mistaken or anything. I went out to see him as well, and he was right...One Down wasn't moving. He had passed away.. I don't know for how long I cried after that and till now, I am not able to believe that he's not here anymore. I agree with my cousin, who felt pretty sad as well. She said that she couldn't really believe that One Down would ever leave. It really felt impossible that One Down would ever leave us. I couldn't really picture him not being here. Every time I look outside the window door, where he and I did high-fives, I can't really believe that One Down won't come running to the window and stand on his hind legs and give me one ever again...
He came to us as a little puppy and turned double digits this year. He was a big old boy, and we knew it would soon be time for him to leave us. Thank you again everyone for your prayers. Rest in peace, One Down, you are greatly missed and loved.
