just woke up. and i'm blogging. thats because..
every morning when i wake up, and then brush my teeth, i will always greet my terrapin at the same time. but this morning, the greetings went without any replies. he just stayed still without moving. i couldn't believe my eyes, thinking that it must be due to me not wearing my specs. so without washing my face, i went to grab my specs and looked carefully. the truth is the truth; he has climbed the stairway to heaven.
some people may think how stupid i am, to feel so sad over a terrapin. i find it hard to explain or understand why i feel so sad too. perhaps its because i bathe him myself every day or every other day, or because i always let him crawl on my hand, or maybe its just those every morning greetings.
so small, yet such a big impact.
actually i had noticed he wasnt eating much since two weeks ago. tried ways and means to get him to eat. he used to love fresh vegetables, but somehow, that didnt work very well too. bought a different brand of food pellets, but still... just yesterday, i bought another new bottle of food pellets. but he didn't get a chance to eat it. so now, i have 3 bottles of food pellets, 1 untouched, 1 nearly untouched, and the last almost finished. recently, i also bought a new big house for my terrapin. he didn't stay there for more than 3 days when i isolated him for observation(due to it not eating).
this is the first time i'm feeling so sad over the death of my pet. i had actually asked jiemin if she could help me take care of him when i'm away in december, but i guess thats not needed anymore. not now, not forever.
