Holding On and Letting Go

When we hold on to something that we treasure, it is very hard for one when its time to say goodbye. We cant practically do anything to over come come that feeling of letting go when the time has arrive.

I had one very bad experience,when hubby needed to sent his old adopted dog to a shelter home due to moving to a smaller place.Although, I am not the one sending Sammi off that time to the shelter home. I know I will definitely fall into depression of separating.  After sometimes, I and Hubby drove to the shelter home to look for Sammi.

We arrived, we called, we yelled,we scream but there is no sign of Sammi. We decided to leave that place. Both of us wasnt feeling great at that time.

Hubby suddenly broke the silent and said " Its a good thing that we didnt get to see Sammi,how would he feel if he knows we are there just to visit but not bringing him back home?" He will think we do not love him anymore.

Reflected of what he had told me, its very true what he had said. How would Sammi think? Although the relationship of me and Sammi just for several years. But the feeling of lost is so deep inside. First time, Hubby took me home to meet Sammi. He was a lovely sad looking dachshund mix breed. He would come to you and wanting you to pat him.

From that day onward, we knew we are not capable at that moment to look after him. After all these years, I know by now, Sammi should be in Rainbow Bridge with other dogs and will continue to protect us like how he does at home.

History of Sammi Boi :

He was adopted from SPCA,Ampang about 15 years back. My mother in law took hubby to choose the pet he wanted. As always Hubby will always choose a dog who he has a fate with. He saw Sammi and he told his mom this is the dog that is going home with us. SPCA explained that Sammi was an abused puppy. He will ran away or even pee when you go near him.

Few days later, Sammi arrived in a home called Family. No one was able to go near him as he was so afraid. Hubby broke the ice with Sammi. The one and only , Sammi would feel secure going near.

Thats where Sammi life begun. He was given love and care. He would wait at the gate for hubby to get home from school. As time goes by, Sammi no longer carrying the word abuse in him anymore. He will explore the neighboor by himself and end up coming home after a dog fight.

When my mother in law had to close down her kindergarten. Sammi have to move to a shelter home as there is no space at all for him at our new house. When we sent him off to the shelter home he was 12 years old. This happened about years back.


We do hope Sammi stays strong and happy when he touch down in Rainbow Bridge
