Lost my buddy forever

Its painful to share this news with you guys. My dog, my buddy.. ChiChi..!! Gave Up on Wednesday, 10th March 2010
How it happened :
Since Monday it was unwell. We called up our regular doctor to come & give a visit for check-up. He was at his native & promised to come on Tuesday morning. He didnt come on Tuesday morning as he claimed to be in damn meeting & then promised to come in the same evening. But that too he couldnt as he got too late. Finally he showed up on Wednesday morning where my chichi's health was really worst. He couldnt even stand on his legs. Doc asked us to go to 'Bail-Ghoda' Hospital at Parel immediately. We took him there. Which I got down from the vehicle & was walking towards the hospital, he got fits. After reaching inside, the doctor asked me to keep my dog on the table. While the bloody doctor was having a chat with his colleagues, my dog got really bad fits. He was stretching his entire body straight. I shouted the doctor to come & check it immediately. He then came & saw. Gave him an injection. He was pumping his heart with his hands & was telling me that it happens normally after, the fit will subside in couple of seconds & he should be back in normal. But my poor chap gave up. The doctor tried some last moment steps & he answered me "He collapsed". He had some loss of blood in his rear part of the body, had heart enlargement, which caused blood blockage. I was begging to doc to please do something at any cost. It just cannot happen. Was not ready to believe it. My mom & dad where crying like anything, pampering him, kissing him. Am crying painfully while writting this. Am still in my worst night mares.
The previous night I took him besides me & was trying to make him sleep pampering me. He licked me, as if saying "Thanks for everything"
We did the last rituals at the hospital itself. I just couldnt see him go. Even at the time of cremation, the respective employees where in some strike related meeting. I was hunting for them like a mad guy, while my mom dad where sitting aside holding my chichi's body.
My idiot regular doc, never even touched the dog due to fear. Hence he never discovered of this problems which he faced. My poor dog, he never gave us any problems throughout his life till his last time. Please guys never rely on any doctors visit, periodically take your dog to a clinic for regular check-ups.
My sis was in shock when we returned home without him. She was searching for our dog like mad. We, entire family is under terrible shock. Still feels his existence in our house. Dont feel like stepping out, eating, drinking, doing anything. Any place I see in the house, feel his existence. With him alone, my house was never empty. Now inspite of entire family, without him.. The house is empty. He was there with us for 11 years. There are tons of moments we had with him. Each minute I remember his particular moments. On last Jan, we celebrated his 11th Birthday & distributed chocalates in entire society, which we did for every year.

A valuable family member of ours left us. You will always live in our hearts darling. Sorry, we couldnt save you. Wherever you are... Take care of yourself & May your soul Rest In Peace. We all love you & will miss you always honey
