Life is so unpredictable. One moment he was gone, another moment he came back. Then now he is gone again. Now, he is remarried... I bought a Schnauzer for him in the year 2003. Woe to me, I bought a dog instead of keeping a baby! I never know that I would have 3 children next. I never know that Cebest had such a short life also...
Ah Kew, his friend, happened to have a car that day. Richard borrowed the car, and we went to see dogs at Pasir Ris. We came across the only 'black' Schnauzer there, so cute and loveable. It was love at first sight. So I bought it for him. Back home, we thought of a name for him. 'See the best' which is Cebest. We paid only $2000 at that time to buy Cebest.
Now, Isaac wishes to have a dog. We went to the pet shop to see dogs. He likes a Dachshund so much. I asked the shopkeeper for the price and it was so incredible. A Dachshund now cost $13000!!!! It was simply too expensive. We could not afford it. And Isaac was so sad.
Anyway, we had Cebest with us for 3 years. We lost him after the yearly vaccination. After vaccination, one day, he saw 'something' coming in from the main door. He was barking non-stop at the air. He saw something which we could not see. The 'thing' came into our room. He followed. Then after that his health deteriorated. The 'thing' might be the death angel that came to bring him away from us. He always hide in the store room and his appetite was no good. He refused to eat. I wanted to bring him to the vet, but Richard said, "wait and see." But in the end, in the early morning, dawn time, we had to rush him to the vet, which was too late. He died at the clinic.
I was so sad for weeks. It was the year 2006 that we lost him. After that we do not have anymore dogs in our lives. In the year 2007, I had occasions where my legs 'kick' on something at the end of the bed. I also heard bells. It seemed that Cebest had come back. I was 'converted' as well. And in the year 2008, my faith had saved me...
