小白，你要乖。。。

One of my sis' hamster died last Friday and she blogged about it. When she wrote "小白，你要乖。。。 " as the title, it touched me and made me feel so sad suddenly... hai~ Life is so unpredictable, even a hamster which had been around for 1 year plus eventually had to meet its fate.

I supposed like she said, she dun feel so sad compared to those previous hamsters she got and died coz she more or less anticipated it. This 小白 was given to her together with another one (小黑) on her birthday in 2005 by her friends. It was like no choice when someone gave you pets as presents. For me I definitely wouldn't do that. Its a committment once it became your pet, and worse if you cun take good care of it.

When you rear a pet, you have to be prepared that it will leave you one day, coz their lifespan is usually shorter than humans. If I had not like animals, I would not want to keep a pet anyway. Imagine you have to go through the pain in losing it, and many times if you continue to rear many more. My advice is, dun rear pets, keeping toy animals will be much better. They are cute, can accompany you, dun need food and will not die.

I recalled when I was small (probably in primary school), mum always like to buy goldfishes from the market for me and brother. Unfortunately, we were too small to k now how to take care of them and they usually did not live past one week in our care (some even live for a day or less). They died out of water when we took too long to change water or when we accidentally kicked the container which housed them (placed on the floor) off. House too small cun buy a fish tank so bo bian. Was too young to feel anything last time, now thinking of it I really pity them... how suay to be under our care...

Anyway I believe in reincarnations. Maybe 小白 had not been good in its' past life so its a hamster this time. 小白，你要乖。。。 next life you will be better...
