This cheeky pussy gave Sherilyn and me a major heart attack this afternoon.
She was playing her favorite game of ‘football’ with an Izumio cap when she accidentally swiped the cap under the fridge. While trying to retrieve the cap, Haru’s paw got wedged under the tiny gap between the fridge and the floor.
I saw her rolling on the floor next to the fridge and thought she looked super cute. It didn’t occur to me that her hand was stuck under the fridge as she wasn’t yelping. Moments later, Sherilyn checked on Haru and then ran to me and told me that Haru’s paw was stuck under the fridge!
Frantically, we tried to free Haru’s paw but she was yelling in pain, crying, hissing at us and tried to bite us. We were also worried that we may injure her hand whilst trying to free her paw. We were even on the verge of calling the Bomba (fire-fighters) to come to Haru’s rescue 🙀 when Sherilyn took out the torchlight to shine under the fridge. She saw Haru’s claw stuck on the fridge’s metal stand and pushed the claw and then voila, Haru’s paw was freed!
What an ordeal and heart-stopping moment it was for all of us!! I really thought that Haru would end up at the vet’s clinic again.
But this dare devil went back to the fridge minutes after she was freed and tried to retrieve the cap again!
Spookily, I met a friend at the supermarket this morning and was informed that her 12-year old dog had recently died of heart failure. She told me that her dog was cremated at the Nirvana Memorial Park and its ashes scattered at Tg Sepat. I asked her more details of cremating pets as I never knew that pets are also cremated at the same place as humans. And lately, I’ve been thinking about what I’ll do with Haru when she crosses the Rainbow Bridge one day.
Talk about superstition! That’s why some Chinese old folks don’t like discussing about death for fear of it becoming a reality.
