**THE LOSS OF MY DEAR ROONIE **

Wondering who or what Roonie is? Well, Roonie is the name of my dog. Roonie is of the boerbul specie and a dog that is over 100 years of age. Yes! 100years. A year in the life of a dog is equals to ten years, according to Roonie's Vetinary doctor. In short, she is ten years old if we were to use the normal counting of years of humans.

A QUICK FLASHBACK TO HOW I LOST ROONIE.

I may attribute her death to a mistake on my part but whichever the case, I love her dearly as she's a good companion. This incident occurred sometimes in November, 2017 when I noticed she was infested with tick, a deadly blood sucking creature. I decided to bath her and make sure I eradicate the ticks from her body. Prior to bathing her, I was already cooking her food so that it will be done and served immediately I conclude the bathing.

During the course of bathing her, I added a powerful insecticide and acancide - POWER FORCE to her bathing water with the hope that it will kill the ticks, which it did actually. After bathing her, I went inside to shower and eat, whilst I was waiting for her food to get cold before serving it. While I was eating, I noticed Roonie wasn't making any sound as she's always uncomfortable whilst she's being chained. I ran out to see what's going on but it was quite unfortunate that I met her lifeless body. She licked the Power Force which was added to her bathing water.

I wept badly because I didn't know it would turn out that way. I was trying to keep my dog 🐶 healthy.

And that was the end of Roonie, my dear dog.
