Animal fun (0.0)?

Yeah, I'm sure you'll be confused with my title. But I'll try to be as detailed as possible. For those who knew me, you know how I react when it comes to pet shops. I'll just stare and adore the animals there (except for creepy crawlies and reptiles). Dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, bunnies, chinchillas, hedgehogs, fishes...the list is kind of exhaustive depending on the animals available for sale.

One of my best friends from secondary school once said that my house is like a zoo. Well, during that time, I had fishes, a turtle, hamsters and stray cats (Yes, I do buy Friskies for the cats). Now, I only have 2 aquariums and a few stray cats (^^). But if you bring me to a pet shop, you'll see most probably a very embarassing side of my personality (^^). Only just a few weeks back, I went to a pet shop with one of my best friends from college (Again yes, I have best friends in school, college and others to come ^^ ). The pet shop is located at the top floor of the Ikano Power Center located at Mutiara Damansara. We went there because I needed to buy some water plants for both of my aquariums.

We looked around at the other pets and saw a particularly interesting dog. It's a male Mini Schnauzer that's sleeping. He's sleeping with the belly side up, you'll think it's very rude. I actually told my friend that if I was the owner of the Mini Schnauzer, I would've called him Rufus. Lol. There's also a cute Pomeranian with white fur. Yes, it's pure white. Normally I've seen Pom-Poms (I liked the nickname ^^ ) in brownish colour but not white. There's also a few very cool looking Siberian Huskies and one of them is also white. Too bad no pictures are allowed. Or else I would've posted here as well.

That's enough about pet shops, you might be thinking how the heck did I tame the stray cats behind my house? Well, it started with a particular batch of stray kittens. At first, I would buy cat food and also play with them. That's how they got used to me and my family (only myself, my sisters and my aunt who often visits during the weekends. When they hear my mom approach, they'll disappear at the speed of light. Lol). In fact, they got too friendly until they became quite naughty already (Guess we were too lineant on them ^^ ). The females would give birth behind my house, maybe because it's the safest place for them. Especially now there's even big monitor lizards crawling around sometimes (so big that the fighting male cats have to stop and watch out when one appears). But the kittens are so cute and cuddly, sometimes I manage to tame one or two from the whole litter to get used to us. Lol
