I can't help but to think about my rabbits. started with them a few years back. came home from school and found 2 rabbits at the balcony. my mum's friend gave them to us. they were still of baby size, and of the colour brown. after a while, we realised that they were both male, which meant that they cant mate(even though they still do the mating action, the vet said that it is to tell the other male that is is his territory. but i still can't help to think that they're desperate for sex or something).. and then she approached her friend, wanting a female rabbit and she got it! she brought it home, and i was especially close to this one. i paid special attention to it and stuff. we were so close to each other that when i came home from school, she would run to me as if welcoming me home. i was so happy. but it was not to last. when i was having tuition one time, it was wandering downstairs eating grass and it got crushed by a car. i was too stunned to cry at first. but when my tuition teacher left, i started crying. we took the deceased body and went to the nearby park to bury it. i even put a cross over the soil and wrote 'bunny' on it. i was very, very sad. so my mum went to the pet shop and bought a white female rabbit. it had red eyes. and we seperated the 2 males and put 1 female in with 1 male(the cages were beside each other so i think the other male wanted to join in so much). and after a few months, there were babies! they were so cute yet so fragile. their eyes were still closed and they were furless. i cant remember how many was reproduced but i know it was at least 3. i kept a white one with blue eyes(turned out to be a female). we then took good care of it and then when they grew old enough, we sold them to the pet shop. but what my mum wanted to see was the female giving birth. so she put the female with the other male(hohoho he must have been very happy). and before we even knew it, babies. but my mum didn't get to see it. so we waited till they got older, sold them, and put the female with the other male. i can't remember the order but one of the males got lost. he managed to escape from the cage and ran away. but don't worry! someone found him and brought him to the neighbourhood pet stall, and the owner said that he has a good family now. so the love triangle continued and continued and managed to have another 4 batches of babies(which my mum still failed to watch the reproduction scene). so she decided to give up. from then on, we just kept feeding the rabbits without much attention. but a new neighbour moved in and he so happened to be a person who likes to take control. he ordered my mum to take the rabbits away from the carpark(which is the new place for the rabbits since the males grew old, and had to be there because they kept peeing all around). but my mum did not want the house to stink. so she gave them to the pet store. i, however, did not cry, although i cry easily all the time but, i seem to be used to goodbyes already. things just seem to leave me too many times that i'm already used to it.
well, thats my story about rabbits. oh ya! when i go jogging to the park these days, the cross with the name 'bunny' is nowhere to be seen.
