So, Bacon's passed away.
Yes, at just three months old. How bloody unfair can fate be sometimes? Do all animals have to die that way? I mean, c'mon. He was fine all the way, and then the next day we went out (whywhywhy!! *smacks head*), bought some hamster bedding and contemplated getting him a new cage before deciding not to and returning home. When we got upstairs. I suddenly had the strangest feeling, and all I was thinking of before my sis and I had even seen him was, "Oh gosh, please let Bacon be okay"--which I know seems a tad dramatic, but I was still on edge cos of Kelly's passing away and everything that had happened in-between since her departure.
So anw, J and I rushed to the cage and saw that he was lying outside of the hippo we'd gotten him, the one he always slept in without fail. By then we obviously knew something was wrong, and J was freaking out and started mumbling to herself (it sounds a bit comical but it totally wasn't). Trying to be brave (yess I know I'm more chicken than a chicken wtf. And I swear I won't add anymore useless comments like this one in brackets anymore), I lightly touched his body, and it just flopped right back down. It was the second scariest thing I'd ever seen in my life, right after watching Kelly dying.
He wasn't dead then, but he left within twenty minutes. Watching him gasp as he fought against the will to live or leave (i LOVE aphorisms! Okay, no more useless comments) was so painful. And I don't like raking up sad memories, so I won't elaborate further. But after burying him in the garden under a coral tree (right next to Kelly's hut) in a sandbath filled with bedding and all his favourite food, it immediately started drizzling, a light rain that lasted five mins max and comforted us considerably.Oh and he died exactly four weeks after Kelly on the same day :(
Okay ending off with happy pics of Bacon! :
"Look, I can climb out of the damn cage. Hahahahah"
Camwhore!
*Cue Rebecca Black's My Moment lol*
"Hai."
"Can you see me?"
"Okay I think you can."
"Yes I can stand too, just like you. Take that, sucka!"
"I'm officially tired of you. Go away" Hahaha.
Rest in peace, Bacon!
xoxo
