Goodbye To All My Hamsters....

The last of my hamsters, Le Le, died on 28th December 2011 at age 2 years and 5 days.  Somehow, it's extra, extra sad to see the last one go and now the room seems silent and empty without a single hamster.  Harder than seeing them die is seeing them grow old and weak and finally reduced to a ball of unmoving fur in a little corner all day and all night.  In fact, death is a relief.  I am so tempted to buy another hamster to fill the void but am not sure whether I can cope with all the work that comes with it.

I pray that all 6 of you are together, free and joyful like the birds.......not fighting but playing together like you all used to when you were little!  Always will be in my thoughts and in my heart............hope we will meet again one day.  This blog was started because of all of you.  I once told someone, when all my hamsters are gone, this will help me when I miss them but actually, it makes me feel sadder to see their photos......:(

Now I Am Tall.....

.......and Christmas trees are small.....

A merry Christmas to everyone from Tooki, Le Le, Coco and Wawa!

Hiatus

We have been.............

.........sleeping on our posting responsibilities!

24 hours is not enough, there's so much to do each day and a slow internet connection doesn't help at all.  However, I did visit an aquarium called the Green Connection (don't ever visit, avoid, lousy, rundown, delapidated) and managed to get some animal photos.......

Hi all.  As you can see, I lead a boring and meaningless existence in this awful place.  The gate is open, if I can rouse myself, I might just be able to make a dash for freedom.  Ahhh, but I am too lethargic to do it.

Come rub my belly!  Hi all, I am a turtle who used to roam the deep blue ocean but now I will have to live my remaining 999 years or more in this dirty, murky, greenish water.  That's why it's called the Green Connection.

Fishes!  Will you stay still for a photo??

We are restless!  Put us back where we belong, we hate this dirty algae ridden tanks!!  Well, of course, we do love algae when they're not feeding us enough.

(By the way, that beautiful grey haired photographer in the reflection is none other than Tooki.)

You have heard of angry bird.  How about angry sting ray?  There is no joy living in tanks!  I need the ocean!!  Why are you taking my photo???

I guess we terrapins are the luckiest here.  We quite like murky ponds and we can sun ourselves on these rocks they made.  There's a whole bunch of us here so it doesn't get too lonely......

Phew!  I am glad no one's interested in dragonflies.  We're as free as the birds!

So, shall we go see a movie?

I could've watched 4 movies for the amount we had to pay at that lousy Green Connection!  Why don't we just sit here and look at the sea?  It's cheaper.

Goodbye, Sweet AnAn....

Thank you for keeping me company all this while.

Will we meet again?

It is my dearest wish that we will.

Too Busy To Blog

Decided I had enough of my scribbled wall and decided to paint it purple instead to match my dog-bitten wallpaper.  I was rather pleased with the outcome.  Certainly looked better than all those fading graffiti.

Sigh....this may become a thing of the past soon.  Been doing a little bit of house hunting lately in response to those threatening warnings about dogs in apartments.  I am looking for a land-based house so that my dogs can bark to their hearts' content all day without fear of being sent to the pound.

So, my dear Wawa, you may not be able to see Mommi relaxing with her feet up like that in future while you nap faithfully and loyally by her slippers.  I will miss the lovely view.....by the way, Wawa, where is your sister, Coco?

Pant! Pant! Slurp! Pancakes, pancakes!  I want, I want!  Gimme, gimme....!
