kiki and pegsfur: I am the opposite.
I've always loved babies.... as for pets.. hmm, ok lor.
When my husband wanted to adopt a rabbit, i remember telling him "Cookie (the rabbit) is yours, i will only play with her once in a while.."
In the end, i am the one more kan cheong, i play more with her, i buy the food and treats and i am the one who insists on bringing Cookie to the vet when she shows any sign of being unwell.
Needless to say, I was the most upset and affected one when Cookie died. when Cookie got really sick when i was on 2nd week of confinement, i didnt care about how tired i was, the large amount of lochia i was having, or even my daughter (which i left to my mum), i just know i wanna get cookie to get help ASAP and brought her to the vet. The vet see my tummy, thought i was in early trimester, still advise me not to walk too much. She was so shocked when i told her i just gave birth last week.
When she died that day, i was so so distraught!! thank God I didnt go into depression or blame shayna for taking attention away from cookie..
