RIP Chelsea

It was too fast.. Her condition worsened day by day. She was breathing very hard this afternoon. She collapsed 5 times and had difficulty breathing. She still managed to get up and had her dinner.

When I came home, she was still doing well but still breathing hard. I knelt down and 'sayang' her. She looked fine. Suddenly, she got on her feet and sat beside me. Ju was surprised and praised Chelsea for being strong. The very next moment, Chelsea collapsed besides me. This was the sixth time and the last time. She began her struggle for breath as we broke down into tears... Ju tried doing CPR for her but to no avail. Chelsea gasped for air and eventually stopped. She's gone. We broke down. It is so painful.

We wrapped her in a towel and placed her in a box with her favourite bed. She was lying peacefully as though she was sleeping. It is so hard for us. 7 years was just too short.

Chelsea, you've been a great companion! We will miss you guarding us with might, barking at the postman, jumping at us happily, telling us to cuddle you, jumping off the couch whenever we farted etc... Chelsea, you are our greatest friend. We always love you and you will be missed. Rest in peace, Chelsea.
