pjuske ?-2009
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009
two days ago, when noni came home from work he noticed pjuske was barely breathing.
he rushed her over to the animal hospital where the doctor determined the cancer had spread too much.
during the surgery she stopped breathing and noni had to decide whether the doctor should try and revive her. it was not an easy decision to make, but noni finally decided to let her go.
yesterday i accompanied him to bury little pjuske. we buried her between the cypress trees circling a field of yams.
pjuske originally belonged to my aunt, nina.
nine years ago nina got sick and had to go to the hospital for checkups. she asked me to watch over pjuske while she’s away.
nina never got better and pjuske stayed with me for a while. but we didn’t get along too well, so after a while she moved to my brother’s where she was much happier.
i know it’s naive, but we take comfort in believing that nina was waiting for her and that pjuske has finally returned home.
