.05 Potty Training



Our first night together . She was 2 months old when this picture was taken . Two days before Horlicks came into the picture , I bought some cardboard boxes and made her the perfect cardboard castle . She liked it . We were surprised when she first jumped from the tiny windows that I carved . We didn't think that she could actually fit the tiny windows . She was hilarious and full of curiosity . She explored our room , sniffing here and there . She even binked for the first time . I did a little research about rabbits , their behavior and some other rabbit trivia . Binkying is when a rabbit hops really high and kicking simultaneously . That behavior means that he/she is happy . It was fun , exploring new things and to actually learn something new . Indeed , rabbit is a loving creature .

I did thought of wanting to buy her a nice and comfy cage but I was having some money difficulties . So I decide to get her a cage once my money problem is solved . Meanwhile , she needs to stay in her cardboard castle .

I can still remember the first time she peed at a corner of our room . Truthfully , I panicked . I didn't know what to do . So we decided to put a paper on it and cover it up . That was not a very good idea . Horlicks and I were not that close back then . It took a couple of days for her to realize that I am her owner . Trying to learn about each other . I'm pretty sure that we will be the closest friends ever someday .

In loving memory of Horlicks .

.04 Public Transport



Horlicks and I , we just got back from Rawang . It was Horlicks' second time using a public transport . What is so weird about a girl bringing along her pet rabbit using a public transport anyway ? People are so judgemental .

#np Low Shoulder - Through The Tress . This song goes to my one and only companion . Hoping that you will eat well and play well up there . Maybe that's why God has taken you from me . Because He knows that I can't take care of you well . I didn't keep my promise . I'm sorry . I've let you down . Be the happiest rabbit ever , Horlicks . Enjoy your time up there . I can only wish for your happiness from down here . Rest well , Horlicks . No matter how many times I cried , no matter how bad my heart aches , you are not coming back . And to accept such fact is impossible . I miss you more than you could ever imagine . Only God knows how painful it is to be separated from you . I love you .

.03 The Chosen One

It was a very unpleasantly hot Friday afternoon , the owner called saying that he is available only from 12.30 until 1 o'clock . I was lost in space for second . Still can't believe that the day that I've been waiting for has finally arrived . Is this really happening to me right now ? Well , I was not mentally prepared . I haven't lay a single finger on a rabbit before . Screw it . I will get used to it someday , I think .

We arrived at the owner's place . So here goes nothing , I said to myself . Taking baby steps and trying really hard to convince myself that this thing right now is actually happening . All of the responsibilities towards my future companion suddenly flashed right in front of my eyes .

So we went to the back balcony and there were a lot of huge rabbit cages placed on top of one another and of course there were rabbits in it . Those from Angora and Teddy Bear species . Speechless . Too many of them . I wished that I can have them all and play with them all day long . Snap out of it . Decision making process is always the hardest process among all .

I can't take my eyes off this one timid baby Teddy Bear rabbit . He is the one .

.02 The New Beginning

A little confession that I'd like to make , I'm not a pet person . I never had a pet . The only pet that we , my family , own is actually a pool of Japanese Carp . They are my dad's . My dad is a fish person but not me . The last time that I wanted to have a pet is when I was 6 years old . I secretly kept a kitten at the back of my house back then when we lived in Damansara , but sadly Mama found out , surprisingly not that surprised .

At the end of January 2013 , that feeling of wanting to have a pet grows bigger and bigger . It can't be helped . I must find one for myself and I promise to myself that I will give my full commitment towards it . I will take good care of it and give him/her all the love that he/she needs . It has been decided .

I searched through the web , night and day . I text-ed all the rabbit owners that were available . Alhamdulillah , I found one . The one that I found , the owner actually lives just around the corner . We set the time and date . Until the day finally arrives , I've been thinking about all the fun and exciting activities that I wanted to do with my soon to be companion . I can't wait .

.01 Regret


March 14th , is one of the days that I could never forget . Until today , until this very moment , the presence of Horlicks in this room , I can still feel it . She's still here . I just know it . Every single second that we spent together , I will cherish it for eternity . How could I ever forget such mischievous yet adorable little fellow . Horlicks is no ordinary pet rabbit , Horlicks is one of a kind . Horlicks never listens to what I say , even on the day of her death , she never listens . She's gone now . Deep down in my heart , there's a huge , blank , empty space , which was a very special place that I saved for Horlicks . Horlicks will always be in my heart .

I feel empty . I feel like I'm missing something .

Yes , I'm missing my companion , my one and only companion . And it's all because of me . I was being too careless , thinking that she would be fine but I was wrong . I'm no God and I can't play God . But if I could turn back time , the only thing that I wanted to do . . . . is to save her .

In loving memory of Horlicks .
