ANOTHER DAY WITHOUT KEIRA ... 6/9/2013

It is 5:35am, rain pouring down on earth heavily. It felt like even God almighty above did not agree with my loss, he understood how I felt and the heavy down pour was his way of showing his disapproval with earth. The week had certainly been one of the worse weeks ever and keira's disappearance just had to top it up. I guess when trouble comes, it does that in multiple waves at once(Dr E.A.Y) RIP...
     I laid on the couch, my mind on her, wondering if she was alive, probably cold, lost, hungry and alone would she be able to cope especially with her serious case of hydrophobia...
      Keira is my baby, to others she was just a dog, a common dog, but not to me. I adopted her october 8th, 2008 for my birthday but we did not get to take her home till the 10th. She turned out not as expected, the day she was chosen, while her puplings (dog siblings) came to meet me all playful, she slept on like she did not have a care in the world, yet I chose her. That unknown force made me do it.

    PUP STAGE: Keira just like me is a very picky eater and a meat lover. She rejected everything food save chicken intestine pepper soup. I don't think she could even properly digest them at that stage. Oh well, I couldn't let her starve, I got syringe to draw up milk and with her limbs sandwiched in between my legs, I forced her mouth open and passed milk down her very unwilling throat. She would struggle and wriggle but at that stage, I was stronger. We continued this way even after the pup stage with every kind of food. She also had bad case of motion sickness, she wasn't the "ajebutter" dog you would take out and expect to stick her head out with tongue out and flapping with the wind. She was always sure to bless the outing with vomitus and a good heap of doggie poop. She was a weird dog but she was "my" weird dog and I loved her.
  After this stage, I did not get to see her for over 4years until I went home some months back and Keira recognized me, it was amazing!!!! Incredible!!!! but my keira did. Yes, she did, welcoming me with wags, licks and grunts. It was a blissful reunion.
   The days I had with her, would forever remain in my heart. Our morning rituals, I miss alot. It isn't the same without her troublesome self. She always did shed too much hair overnight, which I still think she did on purpose. Trying to sweep off the hair every mornin was a struggle with her, her teeth firmly planted on the broom would always make my job harder and would have to spend time fighting her off.
   OUR GAMES: " I touch your nipple", here I would try to touch her titties shouting that phrase and she would try to bite my hand to prevent me from touching it. "Karate" here, she would stand on her hind limbs and we would do our own little karate with her fore limbs and my hands. They were fun all the way.
   Keira was the kind of dog that could frustrate you if she wanted to. Once she ate her bathing soap after I had finished giving her a bath. I guess it was just so I would not be able to bath her again. She would also spend some nights barking at probably evil spirits or ogbanje only God knows. One night, I could not take it and peeled my self away from the bed with eyes closed, I managed to fill a bucket with very cold water, she did not know what was coming her way, when she saw me, she was all wags only for me to empty the bucket of water on her and she did shut up the rest of d morning.
    Well, Keira I miss you.I miss your tiny painful bites, I miss our morning ritual, I miss training you on proper eating etiquette, I miss your skinny stunted growth trobulesome self, I miss our games. I miss you turning into a gymnast on sighting food. I even miss you pooping were you shouldn't and running away when you see me. I miss returning home to receive your waist movements and tail wagging.
   Keira aka Ikwerre shepherd aka my bumski if you are still alive please find your way home, we all miss you. But, if Calabar people have done the act which I fear they have and made 404 outta you, I can only pray you grant them chronic diarrhea. Do not, I repeat DO NOT go down easily without a fight...
