Randy's life story. Read it if you want to. If you dont, then GET LOST! 
Today is world animal day. Its sad that Randy isnt here with me right now or at least for today BUT he is always here with me in my heart. Ill celebrate it with you that way. This is really a sensitive topic for me. Cause whenever i talk about Randy or think about him, the flashbacks of everything from the time i got you till the day i lost you keeps haunting me. Seriously...
Its like this...
Last year on the 18 of November 2005, my dad called me when i was with Melissa and Michelle and said that he wanted me to follow him buy for Sherman a dog. So i met him and we went to some pet shop. Cant remember where already. We got Murphy(Shermans dog) and brought him to my dad's place. Then that night, my dad, Vicky, Sherman, Panja and i went to Marine Parade there to have dinner. Then we went into this big pet shop and my dad decided to buy me a rabbit.
At first i chose a black and white one. Then Vicky didnt like it and chose me a white and brown one. I decided to call him Randy. We bought the cage and food and everything else necessary. I still remember Randy's favourite food the the banana yogurt dips. It costs $7.80. Anyways i brought him home and put him in my room in the cage la. He was soo frightened and my mum couldnt stop nagging. Its normal la. As the days passed by, i always let him out and he would jump and run around like some mad fool. I loved to watch that. Very entertaining.
Then slowly he got used to us all. He gained the trust and all that. Where ever we go, he would run after us to see where we were going and what we were going to do. Then he see already haha he will run away some where else. He always used to jump on top the the couch and sit there. He would also run around the house and really jump like crazy then he would find a nice spot and lie down making sure that theres something for him to lean against.
Still in 2005, he became horny for a whole week. I remember putting my hand in the cage to stroke his head cause he was weirdly looking at me from inside. Then when i put my hand in, he stared at it for a moment, stood on two feet and suddenly used its other two hands to literally grab onto my hand and started to shake damn fast. Its penis came out all wet. I pulled my hand away n locked the cage, terrorised. But it stopped after a week. Weeks later, i got some sort of rashes from him cause he fell sick. I brought him to the vet and the doctor said that there was something growing on his nose. So he applied some medicine and withing 3 days i think, it dropped off. Ofcourse i also visited the doctor to get myself cured. Then Christmas and New Year came and left.
I celebrated it all with Randy. Everything was great with it. Whenever i chat, ill put him on my lap and he will jump onto the keyboard and type too. Haha and whenever i study ill put him on my table and study while he will lie down somewhere on the table and watch me. He can even jump up onto the dining table. And he always used to bite the paint off my walls. The marks are still here.
Months later, I realised that developed some bump on his ear and feet but decidedwait till the next day before telling my dad about it so that he could help me get him to the vet cause i had lotsa afternoon classes and had no time. The next day my dad told me that he too was busy so i had no choice. Waited for a few days until it was Saturday. My mum brought me to the vet. Nagged as usual but she did love Randy and im grateful for that. The doctor gave me a small bottle and i had two drops twice a day. He had some common rabbit sickness. I cant remember what its called. The doctor also gave him medicines to be applied on his feet and behind his ear where he developed some bump. So every morning i would wake up earlier to apply the medicines on him. I remember how i had to struggle with him just to apply the medicines. Haha...
Then about a few months later; about two weeks after my birthday in July, i went to kiss him goodnight before going to bed like i always fo and realised that he was breathing rather fast. I decided to wait till the next day before telling my dad about it. The next morning before i left for school, he seemed rather weak and i remember how it really frightened me. But i still left for school.
That day, i had to go to i cant remember where for some art exhibition at 3.30pm i think. Around 3pm, my sister called me and was said that Randy is just lying in his cage. He couldnt move but was still alive. I got really scared and started to cry in school. Then my dad called and said the same. He then told me that he told my sister to get him to the vet as soon as possible. My sister then called me and said that she couldnt carry him. I cried even harder and my teacher allowed me to go home and skip the art exhibition.
I took a taxi and rushed back. When i got home, he really was lying there. He was breathing damn fast, had a really bad fever and couldnt move at all. I picked him up and tried to put him into his cage but he just couldnt bend his body. My sister called for a taxi and called the vet and told them not to close and to wait for us as it was an emergency. I carried him all the way to the taxi and into the vet with him in my arms. He was REALLY weak! I even scolded the taxi uncle and asked him to drive faster. Then my sister and i evtered the vet by the backdoor and the doctor said that he had to stay over at the vet's for few days and that he would call me. I agreed to that. The doctor told me that he had some breathing problems. At that point of time i wanted nothing but for Randy to be saved. Then my sister and i left and took a bus back home.
That night i prayed for Randy. I said 15 Our Father, 15 Hail Mary and 15 Glory Be. The next day at school during recess, the vet called me and said that Randy was ok and that i could pick him up that day. It was a Wednesday and i had the public speaking course. So i went to the vet's at around 7.30pm after school. Before that i went to Xiao Yuns house so that she could get her dog to bring it for its checkup. We walked to the vet from her house and i got back my Randy. I took the bus and dropped out side Yishun Secondary. I remember carrying alot of things including him and my school bag. Luckily i saw Prem. He helped me carrying Randy who was in his cage and walked me to North Point. From there i think i took a taxi home and was damn exhausted but i attended to Randy's needs before mine.
After that for a whole week, he seemed fine. On the 31st of July which was a Monday, i left for school in the morning. Randy was perfectly fine. He was running and hoping around his cage. I saw him told him bye without touching him and left for school. That afternoon when i was in the 859 bus reaching the Yishun interchange, my dad called and asked where i was and i told him. Then at the Yishun interchange while waiting for the 811 bus, he called again and told me to call him once i reached home. I got scared and instead thought that my mum found that illegal thing of mine and told my dad. Instead when i got home, the first thing i did was to go to Randys cage and i saw him lying there dead.
My heart skipped a beat and i stood there starring at it. I kneeled down opened his cage and reached in to touch him. I had to make sure what i thought was true. And it was. His body was stiff and tears just started to roll down my eyes. I immediately found for a box, lifted him up and put him inside. I also put a rose in the box. I took my keys and went down to burry him. I also said a prayer for him.
When i reached home, i immediately went straight to my room and locked myself. I didnt talk to anyone. Neither did i eat my dinner. I just locked myself in from 5pm till 5am the next morning. That night, Laffyette was there to comfort me. Really grateful for that and i really appreciate his friendship alot! He even said a prayer for Randy in his own blog and stayed up to accompany me. Really sweet of him for someone i just got to know. :) I locked myself in my room for a whole week and cried and didnt eat. I didnt talk to anyone and cried everday in school too. I was badly hurt and really missed him lots.
Even now as i blog about this, i still feel that ache in my heart. Every now and then i dont know why but people keep mentioning the name Randy. As in they keep talking about him or asking me about him and i have to say he passed away. Really sad. Cause i held him when i first got him when he was really frightened and i held him when he trusted me which was when he was one hell of an active rabbit and i held him whenever he was sick and when he was weak when he couldnt move and when he was dead. Its really sad..really really us...Tears are already in my eyes. I just felt that i needed to let all this out and yes it is true. Till today, im not over it. Till today im still missing you and i still cry about it. How I wish there was something i could do to stop what happened.
About a week ago, my dad, my sis and i were at this pet shop. My dad and i just like to go in and see pets la. Then we came across this rabbit. It looked exaclty like randy just that is face was rounder and its brown parts was much lighter. It seemed to like me alot. Cause it was the only rabbit out of the 5 other i think who kept coming to me. My dad asked me if i wanted it. I thought for a while smiled and said no. Cause my heart is too weak. I dont think i can actually think of getting another rabbit when i still love and miss Randy. The weird thing is, its as though that rabbit is Randy. You know what they say...rebirth and all that. As a catholic, i dont believe in that but well..who knows?
I know it is very long but if you really read this whole thing, im really touched cause this is the whole life story of Randy. Those 9 months with him was great! Randy, no matter what, you will never be forgotten. I will love you always.
Heres a prayer for Randy,
Dear lord, i pray that Randy is in good hands. Wishing for nothing but his happiness. He has moved on and its time i move on too. Help me pass him this message that no matter what happens i will always love him and that he is forever in my heart. When the day whereby i take my last breath comes, i hope to be with him. Now all i have is memories of him. He was a great rabbit. Thank you lord for allowing me to spend those 9 months with him. I hope he enjoyed it as much as i did too.
Our father in heaven, Holly be thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us our sins, As we forgive those who sins against us. Do not bring us to the test.
But deliever us from evil, Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord is with you. Blessed are those among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of god, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
Glory to the father, and to the son and to the holy spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
I started to blog at 11.50pm on Sunday and now im done. It is 1.20am on Monday. (smiles)
