i've had a bad day, i'm in a terribly bad mood.
first thing in the morning, i got victimized by mr L again.
then later for art we had a switch-around, a musical chairs game round the class.
for the lazy people to 'get inspired' by the other hardworking ones.
then for pe we did a 1.2km run. not fun.
then in maths we did surds. can't make heads or tails of it, so i got in a bad mood again, as i always get annoyed when i can't understand things in maths.
then after that i got my shirt dirty during lunch. stupid, huge pasta things that ought to be in a lasagne instead of being in big chunks put with sauce. blame the canteen food, once there was even kueh tiaw passed off as linguine as someone's meal. ugh.
then in music we just sat around, but after school was when things started to get worse.
i went to teh office with sarah and found camille there. then i decided to check my phone.
this was when i found out
MY RABBIT IS DEAD, according to my sister who had sms-ed minutes ago.
more specifically,
one of them.
when i got home, i found it on hutch lying as though it was sleeping, but it was not.
its breath was coming in ragged gasps, and its mouth was stained with blood.
the worse bit is when i saw its back side. apparently covered in mucus, and it seemed that its guts had been forced out of its bum. its bum was swollen, the rest of its body where you'd expect the guts to go was just airplane runway flat.
the other rabbit was just looking on. i don't know if animals can sense the coming of death, but it seemed to be saying last goodbyes. but even with that, my other rabbit must be devastated his hutch-mate is dead. he sniffed the other rabbit so now the maid says he's 'unclean.' but anyway, we brought him into the house. now we've got to take him to the vet.
now the thing is... you might ask why i didn't take the other rabbit to the vet.
firstly, again- i can't drive, really wish i could.
i didn't believe the maid when she said the rabbit looked sick. the rabbit had always been skinny. she belonged to a maid next door who had to leave. since we had just one rabbit, and a guy, why not give him a companion? the maid next door had fed the rabbit like veggie leftovers, so it wasn't fed well and hadn't a good started in life in the first place. but it did fatten up after the many meals a day the other rabbit ad been having.
according to the maid's kampung views, it appears the rabbit must have had a miscarriage of some sort (it's a girl) but it didn't work out, so the dead foetuses* must have 'poisoned' the body in some way or another. what a way to finish off a rabbit. now i don't know whether the other rabbit's going to die missing the other rabbit. im mad at myself too, because now i can't even find a picture of my rabbit to finish off this blog post.
