RIP Sniffles

Today marks the day of the passing of a great friend.

For those who do not know, there was recently a birth of 2 puppies in my neighbourhood. Sadly, they were strays although I'd really wish I could adopt them. I gave both of them names: Sniffles and Rollies(yeah pretty dumb names, I know, but I don't give a fuck).

When I was walking my dog today, I saw the neighbour, who took care of the puppies and some stray dogs, digging a hole in his garden. Then a while later I saw him carry a lifeless body of a black puppy. There was only one: Sniffles. Rollies was with me and my dog momentarily before she went back home, but I had no sight of Sniffles today and I now know why.

Both the puppies were very young, 3-4 months tops and I feel quite saddened that such a young animal has died. I don't know why she(Rollies) died yet, but I will probably find out tomorrow.

Until then, RIP Sniffles. I'll miss you : ( She was a great friend to me and my dog(although sometimes my dog disagreed with that) and was such a lively puppy. Goodbye, Sniffles.
