Some pretty random realizations over the past few days: 1. Packaging tape works wonders for shedding bunnies Seriously. We've always had problems about bunny fur getting all over us (i.e. skin, face, and horribly, inside our noses and mouths) when booni decides that it's shedding season. It's not that we don't try (on the contrary, we've tried everything from plucking with our hands to using velcro); that stuff is just too elusive and abundant for us to take. And the fact that there are such things as asthma and allergy doesn't help at all. Bunnies aren't all fluff and cuteness you know. So we just decided to live with it- that is, until such a brilliant and ~divine~ idea dawned on us. I mean, wow. Genius. It wasn't even intended; I was busy playing with stickers one night while petting Bunny when I nonchalantly put a sticker onto his fur. Then I tried packaging tape, which happened to be nearby. The whole thing looked very similar to a waxing session. Haha. Soon, we were all rubbing him with it, and our fur- inhaling and eating days were (sort-of) over, and we were very happy people. :) 2. Little kittens are smelly but fun. We spotted a black cat and her two kittens in the garden the other day (which is actually a normal thing, since this place has always been like a free hotel for stray cats), and for some reason, my tita and brother decided to abduct one of the kittens. They got the uglier one at first, but it was still really cute so we let it stay for a few hours inside the house. We named it Kitteen (see the pattern in our pet- naming). Eventually, we returned Kitteen and then plotted a scheme to steal the cuter one. We named the second kitten Brother, because he/she looked like a Brother. Haha. Three things I learned about kittens: they smell like patis, their claws come out when you press their fingers, and the bottom of their paws have things that feel like jelly. Suddenly, I missed being able to carry a pet with one hand. The kittens felt like nothing, whereas Booni weighs around 6-7 lbs. now, which makes it nearly impossible to lift him without using a considerable amount of force. 3. There's only 2 weeks of vacation left. My heart flopped when I started counting time and found out that I only have less than 20 days of sweet idleness left. Sad. Now I just feel like finishing the rest of my summer to-do list. |
