Hai
, greetings again , this page is dedicated my beloved pets who passed away
......Well , pets come and pets go .... rite ....... but it is not easy
to forget about them , even with a perfect replacement ........ this page
is the only treasured memories left about them for me ......
SHIERLEY
Now
she is a beautiful darling ..... and my most expensive pet that had died
so far .. When she arrived at 4 months old .... she was snowy white .....
except for her face which has a bit of Siemese look ..... but gradually
her fur darkens , especially at her paw and back ........ giving her a
distintive Siemese /Persian look . she is tame and easy to handle
. She can sit hours on your lap watching T.V, and sometimes even takes
the full advantage to doze off ! *smile* When she arrived too ....
her tail was odd shaped .... because she used it for her pouncing lessons
as a target ! LOL ! She stays at our backyard . She is really energetic
and loves to run around all day . ... and also obediant (except she loves
to creep in our house , which makes my mother really annoyed - because
she is really inquisitive and would take any chance to come in the house
if the back door is not closed ) .We never let her out on her own
.... fearing there might be
Raja Siong (cat nappers) . She
loves visitors .... and never scratched or was scared when they carry or
cuddle her . She had odd characters .... we have a round backyard
door ..... and whenever she hears voices or something interesting from
the garden ( especially my father's voice ) she can stand two legged up
..... holding unto the door to have a peep .... ahh ..... this is what
I really miss of her ..... her drinking habit ! *smile * hmmm...... Instead
of licking the water .... she uses her paw to scoop them up .... the pet
shop owner ..... who is also my father's friend ..... agreed it was a weird
and truely interesting character *smile * . Well ... sadly .... Shierley
died because of not eating ..... strange illness ...... just like goldie
. We tried to bring her to the vet but the vets here are lousy *sign* ....
authough they are helpful and tried their best . We suspected furball might
had caused her death .
<
p/s : isn't she cute?

GOLDIE
When
goldie arrived ..... he was like an ordinary silver arowana ..... until
a few weeks later ..... when gold appeared on his scales ...... goldie
ate fresh fish .... which is tough to find during the monsoon season .
That is one reason why it is so tough to keep him . As goldie grew older
..... his scale turn into goldish colour .....and that was the part I love
about him . When he was about 6 months old ..... he just refused to eat
... and die
TOMYTomy
is a Toman .... he is really my father's favourite fish so far
( compared to Sammy or Goldie ).... and he is really huge . We bought
him in Pasar Tani ( our local wet market) as a baby ...... and now
he starts developing the stripes and gold colors of an adult Toman . He
eats huge chucks of fresh fish meats , and he gets lots of treats if my
father jusst return from fishing or seaside *smile * . Sometimes he is
so stuck up that I couldn't feed him but only my father can... * smile
* sadly again while I am still constructing my page .... I have to shift him from my pets page to this one .... He died of " not eating " .... the third pet so far that suffer from this strange illness in our house
SAMMY
This
is one big , glutten ...... hungry kaloi ...... which eats about
practically anything .......anytime ....... Cockroaches and lizards was
his favourite snack (one time he even tried swallowing a garden frog .....
but it was too big ) . Sammy is an Indonesian kaloi ( that's why he is
pink in colour ) When he was about a year old ...... we had to change to
big- sized fish pallets as part of his staple food . His favourite was
to follow peoples hand round the aqaurium( I think he says hi this way).
...... At one time ...... he grew a strange " horn " on his head ......
until we tought he was a gonner ...... but he still survived . He die of
finrot ....... with his whole body covered with white ..... fungi patches
...... and that makes us regret for not keeping the aquarium clean
< Ehem ..... this is not excactly Sammy ....... it is his little brother Yoshi .... also dead by now ...... but he'll give you a rough picture of how an Indo kaloi or how Sammy looks like when he was alive >
SPIT
How
spit gets his name is simple ....... if you get to my kitchen and listen
to aa big loud " pop " that is spit playing with the bubbles from the
water filter ! Unlike Sammy , my Indonesian kaloi , spit is a Terengganu
kaloi caught at Kenyir Dam ( a large man - made dam in Terengganu ) and
is black in colour . To tell you truely ...... spit was fished out by my
brother in law after circling his bait with a grasshopper for hours ! *smile*
. Spit was blind ...... probably because of fungi infection again ......
but he is still agile ....... like sammy ...... he loves to follow your
hand round the aquarium ....... but he does that at a much .. slower pase......
Spit died with the same reason like Sammy - finrot .
ADAM
AND EVE 
Adam
and Penny was given to me by one of my father's fisherman friend ......
later , Penny was killed by a musang ( jackel ) and we got Eve .
Adam and Eve weren't ordinary chicken ..... but a fancy breed known as
" ayam kapang " . This breed is an interbreed between pigeon and chicken
(not quite sure how they do it *smile *) . Adam and Eve brought much joy
after the death of Sammy my kaloi . Now Adam was a real life wire , and
his favourite ..... pecking and chasing after peoples hand
( now that hurts ) ..... Eve is the one I choose always to carry because
adam is just too fierce to handle !*smile* Adam was a big bully to Eve
, but mostly they get along well . My favourite part is when Adam trade
his black , short tail feathers and grew a long , velvety - black colour
one ......... and he grew a beautiful yellow " mane " and crown . oh ya
, the most preety part is ...... when he learns how to crow ! haaha .....
The sad thing is that Eve did lay her egg but refuses to hatch them .......
so they have no offsprings . Adam grew sick when we were about to go on
a trip to Kuala Lumpur .....but my parents still claim he is okay and just
old of age . Soon after we return , the fisherman that took care of Adam
and Eve told my father that Adam was dead .My father tought it was no point
of getting Eve back , and until today , her whereabouts remains a mystery
.
HAZEL
& GREYFOOT
Look
at this pair of rabbits and you'll know the straight difference about them
...... One side of Greyfoot's ear is strangely flattened down and just
wouldn't stand up . At that time ......my neighbour too has a pair of rabbits
...... but their diet are really different .......Hazel and Greyfoot wouldn't
feed on fancy foods like pallets or carrots ...... they feed on grass ......
green grass that grows abundently at the seaside . You see ..... these
two are also given by one of my father's fisherman friend ....... they
grew up at the seaside ...... and these grasses has become part of thier
diet since they were young . They are not caged up like my neighbours rabbits
....... but allowed to roam free at the backyard ....... but my father
thought it was important for them to breed and decided to give them away
...... this was really a costly mistake as just as soon they were given
back to their original owner ...the monsoon season hit Terengganu and the
beach was flooded ....... so ..... * sign * no comments .....
So
, that's all folks , well......... this is a real sad page to read on ,
isn't it ? Well folks , a little advice , if you can't deal with
the death of pets ......... better not keep 'em ....... because all
living thing will die one day ... isn't it ? Okay , let's not discuss further
..... wanna read something happier
?
HOME WITH LUGIA !!!
