For many elderly pets, pets are like their own children. Living alone in the old age, often with these hairy children, brings them joy.
In 2000, the mother-in-law and husband of Japan adopted a lovely wood dog, Koro. Two people and a dog live happy retirement. They're like Koro every day. They're very emotional.
However, the good news is that the husband of the filial mother-in-law died in 2005, leaving only the filial mother-in-law and Koro. The husband's death was a terrible blow to the mother-in-law, who cried all the time and was fortunate to have Koro with her all the time to cheer her up.
As such, Grandma and Koro lived together for 12 years. With Koro's company, the mother-in-law was no longer as lonely as before.
Later, the mother-in-law was identified as suffering from dementia and the condition was deteriorating. The daughter of the mother-in-law, who is busy at work and unable to attend for a long period of time, is persuaded to stay in a nursing home for the elderly.
At first, she showed resistance. She understood that her current situation was not ideal and that it would be better to stay in a home for the elderly, but that she was worried that the dog Koro would be left unattended.
Finally, in order to address this concern of the mother, the daughter agreed to stay with the mother-in-law and Koro in the home for the elderly. Shortly after entering the old people ' s home, the smart and lively Koro gained the liking of a member of the court and once became a star in the courtyard. The gentle mother-in-law was also able to quickly integrate into the new group.
What is unexpected is that, with age, Koro's body also has some bad symptoms. And when it was quiet and good, it became uncontrollable, often barking at night and drowning everywhere. After a series of examinations, the veterinarian confirmed that Koro was suffering from dog dementia.
In view of the fact that they are becoming less and less able to take care of themselves and that the conditions in the old people's homes do not provide Koro with an adequate rest and recuperation, the mother-in-law had to send it to a pet home in the hope that Koro would receive better treatment and care.” I really don't want to be separated from Koro, but I want it to be fine."
After entering the pet sanatorium, Koro slowly adapted to his life and had a dedicated pet nurse to take care of it every day. Yet the heartless disease keeps its physical functioning in decline. It starts to lose sight of things and gets hit regularly on the road.
The saddest thing is that Koro started not even remembering his name. Nobody calls its name, Koro doesn't respond. For a long time, Koro became more silent and depressed.
At the same time, the mother-in-law is slowly forgetting a drop in her life with Koro. As dementia worsened, everyone around the world believed that the mother-in-law and Koro would completely forget each other, and that 12 years of good fortune might end one day.
However, on the other hand, the Japanese television show Sakaki-saka, which focuses exclusively on small animals, has recently arranged a meeting between the mother-in-law and Koro!
It was a day of drizzle. The mother-in-law, supported by her daughter and her staff, entered the pet home where Koro is. When she approached the pet fence, there was almost no pause to lock on Koro. Her mother-in-law got a little excited at that moment with her hands on the fence: "There there's Koro!"
And as soon as she was near, he turned his back on her and moved slowly. It smells familiar. That's the smell of the mother-in-law. Koro, who usually doesn't react to anyone, volunteered to come to his mother. It tried to open its eyes, which were already without any vision, to make the mother-in-law more visible. Koro, who was unable to stand steady, has been trying hard to stay away from her mother.
After seeing Koro again, my mother-in-law's memory was once lost. I thought there was enough tears, but the next moment the owner and the dog interacted with each other with a warm heart, and the netizens hit me again: Koro, who hasn't spoken for a long time, is trying to respond to every word he says.
This day is not only the day when mother-in-law and Koro meet again, but Koro's 19th birthday. The dog's life is not as long as that of humans, and no one knows if Koro's next birthday will be with her. This meeting is therefore particularly valuable. The nurse gave Koro the cake and the shawl, and Koro, who wore the flower shawl, “was much older”. Despite the fact that the dog was born in his 19th year, Koro looked at her like a baby who had just arrived.
In the end, a brief meeting will have to come and say goodbye. Until the first moment of separation again, Koro waited as a child for her mother-in-law to scratch her chin...
Although the filial mother-in-law and Koro are still unable to live together, they have once again created a good memory, which must be filled with tears in the coming days.
Even if one cannot spend the rest of his life with one another, even if one has to face separation after meeting another, the good years that one has experienced one another, the true feelings of the other, cannot be erased. Whatever the future may be, thank you for being in my life.
