And this day came- 23 October 2011 marked the day our dear family friend was gone to the Lord. She came into our lives and touched our humane part of our heart by making us laugh at her extreme cuteness.
She was weak when she entered through our doors- bullied by her siblings. Unwanted, as she was different. We thought she would make it- but with our care, she struggled hard to survive. Soon she was in get health, though 99% of the time she was as lost as a baby bird.
She did not behave like her kind. She runs around in circles; scare herself silly; never could she ever sit up right. She is just the cutest little thing you could ever imagine.
From a skinny thing who almost died, soon became the fattest cutest fur-ball of her kind. She has the largest, darkest, innocent eyes which most of her kind do not have. She sleeps in her food bowl, with her back facing down and little paws sticking up like antennas. During her sleep, her little paws would vibrate suddenly in random intervals- like she was using paws as a danger detector or something.
I remembered during one spring-cleaning session of her home one afternoon, we opened her house, she was still sleeping. No matter how we tickled her, she would not wake up! Which species of any kind does that?! Who could still sleep so soundly despite the house being torn apart? It was so hilarious that we had it on film. *memories*
Months passed, and it was a few weeks ago that she became weak. Refused to drink nor eat anything. From a fatty fur-ball to only skin and bone (literally). She was so tiny, it did not looked like the fur-ball we knew. We realized that her time was coming. She was going to a better place.
This day came yesterday. My brother and Mum have a buried her in our secret yard. I was still in school then. She will be missed.
I never thought I would be sad for an animal, considering the fact that I am terrified of them. I still remembered the 1st day she came. I was a little sacred to even touch her. She was the one who made me less afraid of animals.
And now? I miss her. I wish she was young again. I miss her cuteness. I miss the furry bunch of fur-ball. I miss seeing her lost in her own world. I miss seeing her scared herself silly. (And the sad music from my computer is so not helping at all as I write this entry- I about to cry 😦 )
At least she is still close to us, and I could visit her any day.
Miss Trouper, you will be missed by all. You have strive to live despite the odds. Your existence alone has touched my heart.
To commemorate Miss Trouper:
Two songs to end this commemoration:
For those who do not like pets, or are terrified by them: Do give them a chance to touch your hearts. You never know you might just fall in love with them.
