EVANA / SNOOPY

 

Snoopy breathed his last at 11pm on 27thMarch2025. Cause unknown.  Healthy, he was very active till 9.45pm. We have no idea what happened in between. He  couldn't get up when Ashwin came at 10.30pm. We could see he was struggling.  And he just faded away.

We grieve. 

Inconsolable. 

He was the perfect watchdog. 

Dachshund. 

Nothing  could pierce the line he drew except his mentors at home.

Snoopy, one year old, came into our lives in 2021. His  obedience was flawless. Affectionate, he would wait for us  to touch him and play with him as we returned home from our assignments or sojourns. 

Evana drew this picture when he passed away. She loved him  and he in turn  reciprocated. Elvin was enamoured by his voice and he loved to watch him through the glass window.

We placed the picture on Snoopy as we buried him.

 Ashwin was devastated as he placed Snoopy in the grave along with Evana's picture that captured what we all felt deep within us.  Tears flowed down his cheeks in torrents.

We were no exception.

Lila, who took good care of Snoopy all this while from 2021 could not absorb the shock.

Life, we know, is short. But this departure was so sudden we are unable to cope with the loss.

All we can say, it was unfair.
