REST IN PEACE MY CHIWAWA


Yesterday we laid to rest my dog,my best friend,family dog.
My family knew that they got you for safety and security, aish ntjanyana yaka you gave so much more – so much love, so much joy, laughter, so much care, so much understanding, so much patience, so much kindness, so much loyalty. You were so small but your love for the family has always been huge and gentle. You would always meet me at the gate and walk me home. Coming home for holidays will never be the same again. I would probably feel a little lonely this time, for some time.

I remember when I first brought you home, my niece who was 6months then now three years was so afraid of you, but at the end you two became besties, and sometimes I would feel so jealous. Everyone in the neighborhood adored you, others attempted to steal you but you always managed to escape, others offered thousands to buy you but you were not for sale. Even my favourite nephew ,whom I love so much, whom I would give everything he desire ,but when coming to you he had to understand that you were not charity.

It is a crazy thing how a totally different species could love me as much as you did, You will never hear how much I brag about how awesome you are to my friends and relatives. You will never get to hear me say how lucky I am that you are mine, and you will never get the chance to see me pull out my phone 100 times to say “Hey y’all, look at this photo of Mokipi (WHEN TRANSLATED IN ENGLISH MEANS EXTREMELY SMALL).

Although you were the center of the attention and regardless how much everyone in the family loved you,the bond between us was stronger than anything.Nobody would understand why I cried so hard for you because no one but you will know how much I LOVE YOU.


Thank you for forgiving me when I forget to buy your shampoos and use Omo or Sunlight liquid to bath you. Thanks for forgiving me when I get mad and yell. You were the best for never leaving my side when I’m sick and for letting me vent to you when I have a bad day. Lastly, thank you for being a chick magnet and allowing me to use your cuteness to score points with girls.

Whoever took your life,whoever killed you, Modimo oteng,Modimo otla mobona.
You will truly be missed, I salute you!!!I know that you will always be in our hearts, our favourite dawg!
Sleep sweet and hope you have all BONES your tummy can handle up there.
So long MOKIPI !!!
