This early afternoon, at 1.06pm, I buried Rocky in my house's front garden. Yesterday my mom asked me whether I wanted to dispose Rocky away in a plastic bag and then into the estate's rubbish bin. That kinda pierced my heart because I had many hamsters in 1999 and I gave them all away, never saw any of them died. I vowed to attend to my hamster before I got one this year no matter what happens. Guess she dosen't understand my love for animals. It's like you had a friend for 6 months and your friend is suddenly dead never to be seen alive again. Going around looking at animals and disclaiming them as "so cute!" isn't the "love" I'm talking about. Not that my mom is the latter she's just scared of animals hahah.. My parents don't like pets such as cats (which I don't like to rear too), dogs etc etc. Will get a dog next time when I have my personal house.

Well, took me a lot of inner-strength to bury Rocky. I dug up about half the soil and my maid helped me dig the rest. Took Rocky by the spade and lifted her into the pit. Hahah felt kinda relieved after that. I didn't want to take any pictures of her body in the pit but I did take the photos, above and below, of her burial site. I put a rock to mark her burial spot and she's right below. Good thing I have a garden at home otherwise I would have to turn to cremation services for animals and they do have that in Singapore. It's very costly though, about $35 if you want to take back their ashes and $15 to leave it at the hospital but you can't see it. =D

Well, having just bought a large packet of bedding, toilet sand and food, I'm buying 2 more dwarf hamsters this time round. Don't want each of them to be lonely so I'm buying a pair of Winter White dwarf hamsters. Rocky was a crossbreed and that's probably one of the reasons why she died earlier than other hamsters. Her parents were a Winter White and a Campbell. Both type of breeds are dwarfs. If you don't get it, it's just like a human and a monkey mate together and the offspring will be something weird in terms of characteristics and stuff. Their chromosomes will be different from a normal hamster, in this case Rocky, a Yellow Pudding hamster. I've done a lot of research on animals and the evolution of living things including us humans. I've also studied The Theory of Evolution by Charles Darwin. Don't think anyone knows I'm really that interested in living things. I've learnt to grow my interest in this area when I was in primary 3. Having started on science and the chapter on animals, that's how and when my interest in living things started.

Now Rocky's habitrail "cage" is empty and unwashed. No mood to wash, probably tomorrow. Getting my hamsters either tomorrow or early next week. =D Hope I'll have better luck this time round..=X

In all, Rest In Peace my dear Rocky..
