For the past 10 long years they enjoyed their company together just like a any other pet owners feeling of fulfillment.   





Chichi was her living witness in her life's significant milestones, including graduation from highschool, college, until she became a working professional.  




In Facebook post, Custodio recalls how special her chicken was and shared her best characteristics, such as clucking whenever she sees a stranger in their home to drive them away and being intelligent  enough to know when their food will be served.



"Pag may nag-aaway sa bahay, sumisigaw siya […] gusto niyang pigilan yung nag-aaway. Pag nakakarinig ‘yan ng tunog ng plastic, humahaba yung leeg niya kasi alam niyang may [kumakain],” Custodio wrote.




However, her best friend began experiencing health issues in November 2021, Chichi passed away on Wednesday, February 23, leaving Custodio devastated.

"There's something missing in my home. I felt it day and night. I know it will take time and strength. Before things felt quite right," Custodio said.



"But just for now, I need to mourn. My heart-- it needs to mend. Though some may say 'it's just a pet'. I know I've lost a family," she added.



Chichi was also a best friend to many fur pets in the house.



"You've brought such laughter to my home

And richness to days..

A constant friend through joy or loss,

With gentle loving ways."





"Companion, pal, and confidante
A friend I won't forget,
You'll live forever in my heart,
My sweet forever, pet."
