I remember coming home to you in 2006 (you were 3 y/o) and i was so surprised that my parents didn’t care and that you were so fucking small. My sister brought you home as a welcome back gift because my parents and i had just spent a month in Vietnam. she couldn’t think of a name so she let me choose. I randomly thought of a book i just finished reading (i was 12 y/o in primary at the time) and it was called ‘Aussie nibbles’ and there you have it, the birth of your name. Nibbles. thank god we didn’t name you ‘lucky’ like every other Asian.
oh man I cannot stress the fucking struggles trying to toilet train you. I would just bring you out of my house every hour but you kept doing your business in my house and especially on my carpet… my parents would get so mad and legit smack me. i don’t even know why i even bothered but in hindsight, it was fucking worth it. Eventually you got the memo and you could control yourself and my parents actually agreed to let you live inside.
after finishing school for the day, i’d spend at least an hour walking you just so you could get some exercise and to get to know the place. I remember getting so angry at you cause you kept running away when you saw another dog or cat and i had to scream out your name whilst chasing you like an idiot. I didn’t even use a leash and after months of practice, you finally listened to me. If you were to walk too far ahead of me, you’d stop and wait for me, if you were about to do a runner, all i had to do was call your name and you’d stop. I’ll never forget how smart you were.
ever since we moved houses in 2010, i slowed down and i spent little to no time with you. I would still feed you everyday and wash you but i wouldn’t walk you nor would i just go outside everyday to play with you like i used to. id do it from time to time but just not as much as i would’ve liked and i am so sorry for that.
I’m truly going to miss all the times i would come home and you would be so excited to see me even if i was gone for a bit. you’d be jumping around with your eyes lit up, tale wagging and your tongue sticking out. I hope you enjoyed the 12 years of your life Nibbles, i think i did a pretty good job raising you. R.I.P to the best dog ever. 2006-2015.
