A month ago, we have purchased a chihuahua from a pet shop.

We were thrilled to welcome this new family member of ours, until three days later, the little 3-month old pup passed away suddenly during his sleep.

The vet couldn’t find out a reason for his death but told us that it might be caused by unethical pet shop owners.

What these shops do is to starve these pups so that they always look small and cute.  Since they weren’t being fed at all (they were only given gloucose water), their internal organs were demaged.

We tried going back to make complains to the pet shop, but there weren’t proves to show that the problems were caused by them. 

It was sad for everyone seeing this little pup leave just after 3 days coming home with us.

And for those who plans to purchase any pups, pay attention.  Talk to these pet shops, tell them that you’ll take the pup for a vet check up before purchasing.  Most importantly, if you feel that all they want to do is to sell you the dog (fast), there must be problems.

Anyway, something interesting here is that, the moment we took Zebra (the deceased pup) to the 24 hours pet clinic, Stitch (our older Chi) told us that Zebra never left the house.  Which means, during his coma state, he was probably gone already.

8 days after Zebra death, I had a conversation with him, as follows:

Me:  Hi! Zebra!!!

Zebra:  Mom!!!

Me:  How are you?  I miss you a lot!

Zebra:  Don’t worry, I am ok now.  (I could actually felt that he was happy)

Me:  Zebra, we got another new pup in the family, called Moby.

Zebra:  Yeah, I know, I play with him all the time!  (In fact, we asked Stitch and Moby, and they both say that Zebra was around playing with them)

Me:  You are home all along?

Zebra:  Yep

(The conversation went on), at last, I said:  Zebra, we all love you dearly, but if you have to leave, it’s ok to go.

Zebra:  (he didn’t say anything and just smiled)

2 days after our conversation, Stitch and Moby told me that Zebra is no longer in the house.

Zebra, I am sure you’ll be much happier in heaven now.
