In Dalmy's Memory

My two-month old kid, Dalmy, died today. I admit, I cried. I love this baby goat so much and his death saddens me. I don't want to call him IT, though he is an animal thats why I will refer him as HE. Dalmy for me is not only a pet. He is only two-months old yet he brought lot of smiles in my face especially when I hear him meeeing... ( that is how i call it). I am happy when I learned that he was born last April. I was in Manila that time taking my Summer Class when he was born. And I know I am very excited to see him. I even forgot saying hi to my parents but instead asked, "where is the baby goat?" Why the name Dalmy? Because he looks like a Dalmatian. Me and Giddy gave this name to him.
My parents are also sad in dalmy's death. They are the one who get grass to feed him. They are also tired bringing him to grassy places just to feed him. My father expressed his sadness when we talked. He felt weak when he saw the dead body of Dalmy.

Last year I bought two goats, a male and a female goat. Their baby was Dalmy. You may ask why goat? I decided to buy goats because when I was in grade school particularly grade 4, I had also a kid, and he also died. I remember my self, deeply crying as if I lost a love one. That is why, I want to have another baby goat. And now, I am really sad with Dalmy's fate. How long will I wait to have another baby goat?

Definitely, we will miss Dalmy.
