I have a dog, she's a Chihuahua and her name is 'Ah girl'. I got her when I was 9 years old, she was actually my aunt's close friend's dog. They had to give her away because they were having some family issue. She was 3 when she came, I was really happy because as a kid I've always wanted a dog. We didn't change her name because we thought that she will not get use to it so her name remained as 'Ah girl'
Her character:
Being shy, she doesn't like to play around with other dogs and even with human being she needs to know them well enough before she could get comfortable around them.
She is not a quiet dog but very protective towards her family members. Ah girl likes to catch insects or bugs that flew into our house, if there happen to be a cockroach in the room I'll just need to carry her in and she will do a wonderful job as a 'pest exterminator'. Like all other dogs she likes FOOD, she don't just eat dog food, my mom always cook her rib with potato and carrot or chicken drumstick. I will basically give her everything she wants to eat even though I am being yell at except for stuff she can't eat of course.
She also likes to play with small rubber ball when she was young, we would throw the ball and she'll bounce along trying to catch it. Ah girl does not like to ride in a car, she is always very tense, standing up and looking outside the window. She might think that we are giving her away like how during her first car ride she was brought over to my house.
She is also very smart, she knows how to knock on door, knows how to push her bowl if her food is empty. She is also very photogenic, knows how to look at camera every time.
Nicknames that I gave:
Girl-girl
girl-ling (Ah girl + darling)
Sayang
Yangyang
Darling
I'm 24 this year, she is 18. She passed away around a month ago just a day before my mother's birthday. She was really weak 2 days before she's gone, doesn't want to eat or drink and needs to be carry around because she couldn't walk properly. As an owner I hope there's more thing I can do for her before she leave us. And because she is really weak I wanted to put her to sleep at one point of time.. I couldn't do it, I couldn't bare to do so.
It was really heart breaking for me to see her being push in for cremation. Tears fall uncontrollably.
I couldn't bare to scatter her ashes into the sea or any where else so we brought her back home.
Till now every time I go home I'll look on the floor to look for my dog unconsciously, keep hearing the imaginary noises she make when she is outside in the living room.
I miss her so much.

I love you, I miss you and till we meet again at the rainbow bridge.
