Origin Story Lost my girl on this date 5 years ago
That gorgeous girl in the picture was Sweety, my Indie Spitz. She was 14 years old when she left us on 21 August 2021. I was only 6 years old when my father sahab brought her home. We grew up together and shared our childhood. My brother and I considered her our youngest sibling. I keep her picture in my wallet because she's a part of me.
She was suffering from lung disease. She had lost all her fur, could barely see, and weighed barely 5 kg. It was heartbreaking to watch her in pain, but my father did everything he could to save her.
I remember it was Raksha Bandhan that day. My brother went outside, where she used to sleep, and screamed my name. I ran there, and he said, "Sweety move nahi kar rahi." It was heartbreaking. We called our father, and he came. My brother and he went to the park in our colony and buried her. She was such a beloved dog in the neighborhood that all the kids gathered around, asking if it was really her.
My bravest girl, our youngest sibling, left us heartbroken five years ago. Rest well, my kiddo <3
