A birthday without you....
Dear Chippy,
Today is my birthday. And I completed a marathon early in the morning. I remember the first time when I completed a marathon on my birthday in 2006, I was able to celebrate with you, father, mother and Sarah at night. In subsequent years since 2008, Wan Ching joined us in our celebrations.
I miss you. How I wish you were here celebrating my birthday with me. Though we now have Peachy, we still miss you a lot. I have cut a piece of cake for you and placed it on your bowl. Enjoy the cake, Chippy and take care of yourself in heaven. I really really miss you, my dear Chippy!
Love,
Watson

Chippy, meet Peachy.
Dear Chippy,
How have you been? I miss you very much. It has been 68 days since we parted but I still think of you every day and night. Hope you are doing well and having fun in heaven, Chippy.
Yesterday, on 5/11/2011, we went to SPCA to adopt another Jack Russell Terrier called Peaches. We renamed her Peachy so that it sounds more similar to your name. I felt that I have betrayed you when we decided to adopt another dog. Chippy, we hope that you do not mind us keeping another dog. No matter what happens, you will always have a special place in our hearts and we will never forget you. We will always love you.
Let me introduce you to Peachy. She is 5 years old and her built is similar to yours, but she's slightly bigger. She was given up by her family who moved overseas and didn't want to bring her along. Poor thing, wouldn't you say? She's like you in so many ways and when she came to our home yesterday, I was reminded of the day when you first came. Like you, she's very well behaved and peed only in the toilet. She hasn't barked once in the home since she was here more than 20 hours ago. She's hyperactive and energetic, like how you were when you came to us. She even tried to squeeze through the hole in the gate like how you did when you ran away from home! We had to wire that up again. You liked to play with your bears and her obsession is with balls. Like you, she will grab hold of her tennis ball (bear in your case) and guard it with her life, fearing that we will snatch it away from her. While typing this, how I wish that we can travel through time and relive those moments with you again :'(
Even though we miss you terribly, we understand that Peachy is herself and not a substitute for you. You have gone through so much together with us and we will never be able to find a substitute for you. We will love and take care of Peachy and at the same time, we will remember you, our dearest little Chippy, never forgetting how loving and adorable you are. Please take care and have fun in doggie heaven, Chippy. Till we meet again!
Regards,
Watson

Missing you dearly.
Chippy, it has been three weeks..... I can still remember the last time we saw each other three weeks ago. You were very weak, but I didn't think that you would not be able to pull through. I thought you would be fine and I told you: "Chippy, be good. Stay in the hospital for tonight. We will come and fetch you home tomorrow okay?" Never did I expect that that was the last time I saw you and spoke to you. I wanted to kiss your forehead that night, but for some reason I didn't, and now I will not be able to do so again..... Why did you not wait for us to come and fetch you, Chippy? If I had known you were going to leave us, I would have brought you home. Up till now, I still feel very upset that we were not by your side during your last moments. I'm sorry.......
I was very upset the first few days after you were gone. Every time I think of you, tears will well up in my eyes. I couldn't sleep at night as I will wake up feeling afraid, afraid of a future without you. The most difficult moments of the day are when I wake up in the morning and not seeing you around, and when I come home from school and don't find you waiting for me by the door.
Gradually, the tears stopped flowing as frequently, but that doesn't mean that I miss you any lesser. Maybe the tears have dried up, or I have got more used to a world without you. Or have I successfully deluded myself that you are still around? Not only me, so did Papa, Mama and Sarah. We still place food at your bowl during mealtimes, we left your beds untouched in their usual positions. Every night, we will place your favourite pillow beside Mama's bed so that you can sleep by her side like you usually do. We act like you are still around..... Maybe that is the best way to lessen our pain.
I used to wonder why someone who has lost someone close can behave so normally in front of others. How they can smile and sometimes even laugh. Now I know why. When I am in the company of others, life seems to go on as usual. It is when I am alone that I will miss you very very much, think of the happy days that we had together, lament why these moments cannot last longer and regret that I did not treat you better when you were around. On your last week, I came back from school late on weekdays and paid little attention to you. Walks in the morning were very short as well. Even during the weekend, I was more concerned about the Presidential Elections than you who were fighting for your life. I found it more important to enjoy myself at soccer on Sunday than bringing you to the vet. I have let you down, Chippy.....
Though I am slowly getting used to your absence, there are times when I am reminded of what I have lost and I will feel very dejected, like last Saturday when we brought Snoopy to Orchid Country Club. Throughout the journey on father's bus, I was staring at the empty space where you used to sit. And when I squatted down to ask Snoopy to come to me, I thought of how you used to come running over to me when I do that. When I carried Snoopy in my arms, I remember the feeling of carrying you down the stairs every morning for our walks. How I wish I can carry you in my arms again.....
Chippy, I miss you.
