lucky passed away =(
so sad. couldn't help crying.
he's the guinea pig that terence tay gave me when i was around 17-18.
actually he gave me 2. i kept lucky's sis while gramps kept lucky.
she didn't have a name as i kept affectionately calling her "ah girl"
she was so cute she could whistle and whistled very loudly everytime i came home to greet me.
but sadly as much as i loved her i was an irresponsible owner and she fell sick and died.
i was so sad that day and resolved never to keep a pet again unless i really can be a very good owner.
at least lucky was fortunate. he died of old age. guinea pigs have a life span of around 5.5 years.
i think he had a good life as gramps loved him a lot!
super obedient, he could shake hands, follow simple instructions and everything.
he's good friends with a black rabbit that i gave my gramps. they shared a cage for 4 years?
now the black rabbit's super sad and she's not eating.
boo la. i hate goodbyes.
bye lucky dear. hope you're in better place.
his passing made me super anxious and i immediately wanted to see muffin and give him a big hug.
i can't imagine if muffin leaves me =(((((((((
CANNOT IMAGINE.
life without my darling rabbit.
wah i better stop thinking or i will start howling.
so i came home and decided to spend quality time with muffin.
it's been about a week since i last spend good time with him.
i watched him race around just now, hugged him, played with him, cleaned his cage, tickled his ears, powdered him, brushed his fur, laughed at his antics.
he makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
and in return?
he gave me the nicest hug ever. he usually clings to my leg but today was different.
FIRST TIME! he hugged my leg, placed his chin and one paw on my knee, and closed his eyes!
ohmygod he stayed that way for 10 mins while i stroked his fur!
super cute! i swear my heart did somersaults. he's so affectionate!
i didn't want to move him or i would have taken a picture.
AHHHHHH!
he's such a dear!
i know it might sound silly but it's really moments like that which makes me feel that all the hard effort spent looking after him is worth it!
i mean as a pet owner, it really is rewarding when your pet loves you and trusts you back!
(:
"Rabbits dance. When Fuzzy is in a binky mood, she shakes her head a lot. If we jump up in the air doing the human equivalent of a binky, Fuzzy will binky with at exactly the same time. When we do this a couple of times in a row, it looks as though we are dancing together. Another rabbit dance is the dance of love. Basically the rabbit runs round and round you or another bunny pal. This is a bunny expression of love. This is often accompanied by affectionate nips. What your bunny doesn't realise is that bunny nips hurt!"
whoo!! muffin loves me! yay hehe! i was wondering why he NIAPS me sometimes. not painful but very sudden i get startled. thought he was trying to get a taste. and he binky dances A LOT. happy bunny! =D
i've never smacked muffin but i'm ashamed to say that i raised my voice at him once. oops.
so i don't believe that punishment is a good way to get pets to obey you and i hate to see people mistreating their pets. i saw a woman smacking her dog HARD on the head today.
=( no please. they are so intelligent. a stern reprimand or gentle swat on the rump will do.
if you own pets, please shower them with love and care because they do have feelings too.
don't give pets as presents if you're not sure if the receiver will look after them well.
i hate the nonsense pet shops are having. spend enough and get a hamster free????????
...........
muffin muffin muffin!

i really can't bear to leave for 3 weeks! even 3 days is a challenge.
stupid residency.
then.
now!
