Mbwa mtoto alikufa.

The puppy mentioned in previous posts was very sick yesterday morning. I attended a first communion of one of Rose's relatives and then a party afterwards. It was not a very good day because I was worried about the puppy. At 6:00, I passed by Rose's house and he was doing worse. I brought him to my house so that the other puppies weren't exposed and so that I could check on him throughout the night. At midnight, I woke up to him screaming and gasping for air. I knew I had to put him out of his misery. Thankfully, he wasn't coherent at all. I used a damp cloth to cover his nose and mouth and in less than a minute he was gone. This is why I don't want any more animals here. Why am I posting tragic stories about the pets rather than my research? It doesn't seem right at all.
