my innermost sanctum

r.i.p yoyo

received news earlier this evening that my grans' dog passed away this morning.

he had been ill for about two weeks, as the rheumatism on its right hind leg worsened. x-ray results showed that his heart was enlarged as well but blood tests revealed nothing.

or so said my granma as she was quite rather incoherent. yoyo [that was wot his former owner named him] he seemed okay when he woke up but after my granpa fed him his medication, he went into his old "room" - as he'd been sleepin with them late last year - had a sniff around whilst limpin, went out, then stepped inside another connecting room before he laid down and then that was it.

yoyo was given to my gran's when he was a mere pup and that was six years ago. a mongrel, he was sweet-natured and very friendly [duh, ain't all dogs?], he even welcomed one of the neighbourhood cat's - also sweet-natured and rather brave for a moggy - to sleep beside him once. such that news spread far and wide amongst other stray's. apart from em both becomin best of friend's.

the last time i saw him was earlier this year during the lunar new year. and i don't know why but i found meself tearin moment's ago. anyhoo, here's a piccy of the lovely yoyo.
