Milo 'The Mechanic'

With a heavy heart, I bid a final farewell to Milo 'The Mechanic'. To honour Milo's 11 years on this plane, I'd like to dedicate this post to him and share his life with my friends.

Milo was dad's other dog but he lived in Johor, Malaysia with the rest of dad's family. He is the son of dad's previous dogs, Shorty (yes.. so named because he was short) and May (a Maltese cross something that no one knows what exactly) - both deceased.. Shorty was put to sleep a few years back as he was very old and had many ailments that was causing him a lot of pain and discomfort. May was knocked down by a car many years ago.

Dad said that Milo was a very good guard dog that protected the premises... he was very good at chasing off stray cats and dogs that sometimes walk into 'his' premises and was known to have killed snakes and attacked big iguanas when he was in his prime. Basically Milo was courageous and quite fearless (except for thunder!!).

He was nicknamed 'The Mechanic' because he loved to spend his time watching the world go by from the comfort of his favourite spot - i.e. under the car and always ended up having dark stains on his fur.

No one knows the cause of his death and it took everyone by surprise.. Milo was found lifeless on Wednesday morning.. he passed away in his sleep.

I hope Milo is now running across acres of green fields with his parents, Shorty and May, his brother Horlicks, his girlfriend who passed away giving birth prematurely to a litter of 10 pups (the hoomans don't think the pups belonged to him as they did not look like him a single bit) and his friend Husky (a rottweiler), with which he had a love-hate relationship (mum claims that the pups looked more like rotties).

Rest in peace my friend...

Sorry to hear about your friend Milo. Now he has an endless supply of toys and cats and birds to chase. I'm sure he was very special.
