Adieu my child...

I lost Goofy on 18 Sept 2008 in a tragic accident. This happened when I was not around. He was on his routine walk in the morning with my sister and suddenly ran at the sight of a stray dog on the other side of the road. A bus hit him.. He came back to my sister and died in her lap. There was no external sign of injury and he died in a minute. I regret not giving him sweets fearing that he will get diseases in old age...He was 8 at that time:(
I miss him sorely. He was a great pet indeed, now I am really scared to have another pet.
My friends believe that it is better in a way, that he went like that - bouncy in his youth and full of life.
