Ah Di is gone.....

In Loving Memory of my Faithful Dog and companion,

Ah Di

1997 - 2008

Thank you for staying with Daddy for almost 8 years.

I still can remember the first time I saw you.

It was during my first bookout from BMT in Feb 2000.

I had always liked shelties and to have you by my side is like a dream come true.

I miss playing with you at the playground, teaching you how to run up & down the slides.

During my time in the army, you would faithfully wait for me by the door when I go for my evening runs, for me to return and bring you for a walk.

Thank you for enduring the car journey to hall to visit me when I was mugging for my exams back in NTU, even though you din really like car trips during that time.

I believe you have enjoyed our beach walks and swims together at the East Coast Park, even though you couldn't last that long when you grew older.

I understand your affection for me when you would always snuggle up by my side when I sit or lie on the floor at home, or nudge my arm with your nose for some petting, and brushing your back against my feet for some self-petting.

Thank you for helping us to keep watch at home for the last 8 years, and daring to stand up and be counted when you see external "threats" at home.

Thank you for always helping me to shout for mum to open the door whenever I forgot to bring my keys.

Thank you for giving me the reason for a short break away from work every night when you come to me to ask for a walk.

Thank you for making the effort to wait for me to visit you one last time at the hospital before leaving us, and even trying your best to run to me when your legs could not support you any longer. Daddy knows you did your best.

I will miss your infectious smile, your loud whines, your annoying barks, your bad breath, your accidental bites, the way you always try to get my attention, the feel of your fur, the wag of your tail, the sheepish look that you show me when you do something wrong, the way you would roll over for a belly rub, your sneak attacks for a kiss, your unique way of getting someone to open the door at home...

安心上路吧.

你永远活在我们的记忆中!

你在天堂一定要幸福！

在天堂找个女朋友吧！Daddy 挺你!
