The demise of Charlotte


this morning I received a call from the vet saying that Charlotte had passed away. They could not do anything to save her as she was really sick. The $300 deposit we paid for her treatment would be able to pay for all the expenses incurred by her. We could not take back the body she was carrying the virus and needed to be taken care of properly.

I could not stop feeling sad and my tears just won't stop flowing. I wanted to call Joe but just could not recall his office number. In the end, I called him on his mobile and told him the bad news. Joe also could not contain his sadness and cried too. In our hearts,Charlotte was like a baby we adopted and we even gave her the name we like. Somehow she only stayed with us for 2 days but she had been such a good baby. We love her very much and even right now my tears kept flowing even when I am just writing about her. I really pity her short life. Hopefully she knows that she would be missed and loved by us.

We will have to break the news to the children afterwards and I know that they will be jsut as sad as me. Charlynn was especially close to Charlotte and she will be devastated. We will see how we can teach them about death and be resilent.

We did not have a photograph of Charlotte but her image will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace, Charlotte. We want you to know that we love you for being such a strongwilled, loving and wonderful pet.
