A must read story, hope mainspire namin lahat ng dog lover here sa group... A blessed sunday to all! I was lucky enough to have brief bonding moments with sweet Yuree just before she left us. She was part of our family: living her city life on weekdays with Dadi Jeck and Mami Leah, and a much domesticated quiet life here in my place on weekends, and in Tagaytay on long weekends and vacation periods. That was how she was: a traveler, which she enjoyed much. Yuree was reserved, suplada, maarte yet so sweet. She was a brat at that, enjoying the pampering moments always. On Fridays,when Jeck and Leah come home, Yuree was surely walking behind them, entering the door with much pride, as if saying “I’m home!”, waiting for us to notice her presence. Parang gusto nya greet namin cya and say we miss you Yurz! Papansin cya lagi! And so we always did. Nauuto nya na ko talaga. She would sit beside me always when I stayed at the terrace doing my thing and she would have her share of my candies and chips. This Jeck never knew, or else, lagot ka Yurz! Lagot tayo kay Jeck! This was our typical day alone: just us, Yuree and me. That’s why maybe she was so malambing to me. I bribed her with my stuff! I was the typical Wowah to her, spoiling her to hers and my heart’s content. About 2 weeks before her due date of delivery, Jeck and Leah decided to leave Yuree in my care, as she was alone in the condo when they go to work. I actually asked them to leave Yuree behind. So, she stayed with Wowah na! Every day, Jeck wanted photos of Yuree’s activity posted in his Facebook. So,sunod naman si Wowah, picture picture kami ni Yuree! Hindi pa nakuntento sina Jeck at Leah, may videocall pa kami everyday, papadinig lang nila kay Yuree un voice nila! And Yuree would wag her tail in complete joy! Uto uto din siya! Jeck wanted Yuree to stay with my brother who’s a breeder about a week before her delivery. But days passed by, tumatawad ako. I said next week na lang. Next week came and I said sa weekend na lang kunin si Yuree. Then, bukas na lang or the day after..until it was only a few days before end of February. So i gave her up..in the care of my brother. Finally,dumating na ung sundo ni Yurz on Feb. 26.So we bid each other goodbye. Eto un moment na hate ko. May pics si Yuree, hawak siya ni brother. I was saying “babye Yurz! Be safe..Be home soon!” Sabi ko. “galingan mo manganak ha..just be safe..” So,un na …for the last time.. Let me recollect what happened..The pain that Yuree’s fate brought to us, especially to Yuree herself..details that Jeck and Leah refused to go thru.. February 28,tumawag si brother:Yuree was in labor.And then afterwards, another call: dinala na ni brother si Yuree sa vet,kc hindi daw kaya normal delivery and the water bag seemed ruptured already..and the CS took place. I went to see Yuree. Inabutan ko under sedation pa siya but conscious na. Tinatawag ko siya and she managed to open her eyes, wag her tail and look at me. And then after a few hours nun, fully recovered na siya. Inuwi na siya ni brother. Normal naman siya for a few days, taking care of her 2 big pups. Sabi ni brother, OC-OC daw si Yurz kase,inaayos nya palagi un mat ng cage tapos ilalagay nya ung pups nya pag maayos na. She was on her normal routine mothering for a few days.Si Jeck and Leah lagi visit to nurse Yuree and the pups. Until after a few days, another call from brother: Bumuka daw ang tahi ni Yuree at may something na nkalabas sa abdomen nya,..fluids leaking. So,balik ulit sa vet! Nirepair na cya at na-hysterectomy na. This we could not explain. How were we to know. Napakasimple ng explanation sa min:may diprensiya daw un uterus. For whatever reason, hindi namin alam. Then, recovery ulit and confined na siya sa vet. Jeck and Leah frequently visited to check on her.Monday,March 5,ok na si Yuree, with video taken, makikita mo un improvement nya. Maarte na ulit,makulit na. So a few days more stayed at the clinic. Yuree’s last video Comes Thursday, Jeck and Leah visited Yuree again,this time to bring her home supposedly! Pero…nung dumating sila, they noticed,sobrang payat ni Yuree. Yun eyes nya, magkahiwalay un black..on both left corner of her eyes. Then,ayaw tumayo ni Yuree..Noticing she was in pain, they asked the vet. Sabi nya,bka daw virus, baka daw incomplete ang vaccines, etc…FYI, Yuree wass well taken care of prior and during pregnancy. So,nagalit na si Jeck..After a short discussion,Jeck and Leah decided to take Yuree and bring her back to her vet who originally took care of well being. Sa Pasig na nga. So off they rushed. Pagdating nila sa vet ni Yuree sa Pasig, nagulat din ung vet sa condition ni Yuree, asking kung c Yuree daw ba un, baka napalitan..payat, weak and un eyes nya nga.. So check,check. Found out that Yuree was in severe pain, dehydrated and traumatized! Apprehensive siya sa bawat hipo at boses ng mga tao sa paligid nya. The Animal Clinic vet and staff did their best. Another repair, another operation had to be done, documented na this time. Pics showed several nylon stitches inside Yuree’s abdomen, several pieces of Yuree’s fur kc ni hindi man lang siya na shave sa unang vet! And her lacerations reached her navel. Yuree was already in so much pain! Afterwards, observation ulit, improving ng konti. Pero ung IV nya, lagi nawawala,kc daw pumuputok na un veins, kc hypertensive na un mga ugat nya. Then,after a day or so, may fluid leaks na naman sa abdomen nya. So repair ulit. Sabi ng vet, with photos again.contracted na ung tissue nya, pati skin nya,bugbog na. Para daw natapakan sa kalamugan ang tissue ni Yuree. So,there,ni-repair ulit, Nagkaroon na siya ng complications..Pneumonia. Naka-oxygen siya and nagne-nebulize. I saw Yuree last Sunday (March 11)..the last time I touched her face and caressed her. She was still in pain, She suffered bouts of seizure. We tried to be upbeat,sabi ni Jeck, o sad mode for Yuree. So cge, na bribe siya ulit ni wowah..”get well na Yuree and i’ll take you out pasyal!” This time, I felt like begging for a life extension for my child. It felt like you were trying to seek the best remedy to spare her from pain. Her Dadi Jeck and Mami Leah took leave from the office just to take care of her. Her Tita Anin was also in the clinic full-time so that she’d always smell someone familiar whenever Jeck or Leah had to leave to buy medicines or do other errands. The sight of Yuree suffering silently killed us, too.. When I was about to go home, Jeck accompanied me to the parking area, There, my big man Kuya cried so hard..It was so long ago since I’ve seen my brother bled and cried like that..And leah was so depressed like a mom could ever be. I knew then, it was a different kind of love! It was noble..selfless, unconditional! When I got home, I continued to check on them about Yuree from time to time. Monday midnight, Leah texted that Yuree was again up for another repair. Hindi na masustain ng muscles nya ung suture kaya off and out palagi. That was the last procedure done to save Yuree. Jeck and Leah came begging again,down on their knees, for God’s will..surrendering Yuree’s fate to the Lord. Just take away all the pain. Maybe then, lahat ng santo natawag na nila..baka pati si Santa Claus hinihingian ng regalo,..that is Yuree..This final moment of Jeck and Leah with Yuree is so touching. They were again talking to Yuree, not begging anymore to hold on..bleeding and crying. They asked Yuree to rest, that they were letting her go if she wanted to.,to spare her from prolonged agony. But then I doubt, if they can really let go of Yuree,their baby..much as they wanted to hold on, and much as Yuree wanted to hang on..it seemed goodbye was most hurting all 3 of them.. a family! They were asked by the doctor in charge to go home first as it was already almost 3am in the morning. Visitors were not allowed to stay in the clinic and the doctor also told them that they needed to rest because they had another full day ahead to take care of Yuree in the clinic. Off they drove home to rest..and so..un na..just before they were about to go to bed, they received a call from the vet. Yuree’s heartbeat was slowly weakening. Nahihirapan na raw si Yuree. Jeck and Leah drove back to the hospital. On the way, they received another call: Yuree just left. They tried so hard to resuscitate and revive her but to no avail. Maybe..she remained an obedient child to her Dad and Mom..and she chose to leave without them seeing the parting..to spare her parents from deep pain of seeing her go.. And so, the loss of Yuree is one great deal for Jeck and Leah,and us..Yuree didn’t die..she just left..ahead of us..on to the next life,,where there will be no pain..she left behind so many beautiful memories..she left behind a message of love. Today, regrets, we have many..ifs and buts..but they cannot bring Yuree back. Somebody may be answerable, not to us, but to Yuree, who suffered so much. Let’s not call it wrong practice, for who are we to judge. Maybe some negligence that was too late realized. They said, we have to inform the person concerned. But we are not ready yet to add some more injury to the pain of losing Yuree. It will add more pain to Jeck and Leah’s bleeding hearts. Letting go is the most painful..but letting God take care of everything, take care of Yuree will ease the pain.. People say Yuree was lucky to have the best parents in Jeck and Leah. I would say otherwise. We were lucky to have experienced this kind of love through Yuree. Only those who know how can feel us.. Yuree goes.. she carries away with her the beautiful memories she shared with us, especially her parents, Dadi Jeck and Mami Leah.She fought hard to stay and make us happy. She will stay forever in the inner room of our hearts where we keep our greatest treasure and deepest pain. She left behind an empty spot, which we never thought we will know.. Yuree..kiss me one more time before you go..Please walk and sit beside us still in spirit..you will always be our Yuree..till then..maybe not so soon..but keep watching over us and wait for us at the rainbow bridge.. Remembering Yuree Thank you to all the people who joined us in prayers for Yuree..who shared our sorrow and felt our grief..We are blessed with a love so deep.. Strangely,let me say.. Yurees battle,and Nanays hospitalization happened closely together..Yurees gone histerectomy,Nanays gone thru mastectomy bec of breast cancer.. it all coincides,same time..the prognosis of Nanays case went well ..and Yurees case went worse..was it something i can connect to like they used to?that dogs saves the lives of people closest to us..Yurees keeper dad is Lolas fave..did Yuree gone thru all this just to save a Lola so dearly loved?still,i wonder,true or not..Yuree will be remebered as the girl who choose to go for the love of us.. And God knows what we can not comprehend.. and it was all to His glory! Loving our Nanay more..and missing Yuree much..rest assured that love has its deeper meaning. Brian Ross Paulo Ibarra
