"Pets are humanazing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life."~James Cromwell
It's about two years ago when I bought a pair of guinea pigs from a pet exhibition. They were so small at the time I made the decision to have them as my pets, they just look like hamsters and their cuteness overload had steal my attention. I'd spent about 200 ringgit to have them with me. I named them as Lulu and Mumu, put them in a small cage and keep them in my hostel room at my college. Yeah, we're supposed to not allowed to bring any pet there but who cares?
(Small and cute)
Honestly I never know anything about this kind of animal before I bought them. I thought they just like hamster and never gonna get bigger!
(Still small but keep growing)
It has been so well and I'm happy to have them at that time. I used to play with them a lot and even my roommate said that I never concern about her again because I had my new friends.
But somehow everything had changed when they grown up. They eat a lot till I had to spend about 100 ringgit per month to feed them. And yes, they poop a lot💩. LoL. I had to clean their cage twice daily and the cage became smaller to them as they got bigger.
(Got to bring them home)
So, as I got tired to take care of them, I brought them home to my family. That only to make my father keep nagging me for my irresponsibility. 😂
That's the story of two years ago. Now I got 15 of them in total as Lulu keep giving birth and they also got their grandchilds. I've learnt a lot from my father to take back that 'responsibility'. It'll gonna be 5 months from now till I finish my study and I'm gonna give my full love and responsibility to keep them.
