Bambi Given Away

Dearest Little Skyler,

This is the day that we gave away Mama’s and Papa’s first furry pet – our Rabbit Bambi. We had asked Kow-fu and Kow-mo to watch over Bambi for us from before you were born. After that, they continued to care for Bambi for the following year. However, as they are thinking of having a Little One of their own, we had to put Bambi up for adoption.

Papa had put up advertisements at both the Point and the City. Though we got calls from people who saw the advertisement at the Point, nothing came out of it. However, there was one phone call from someone who saw the advertisement at the City and he was the one who came to take a look at Bambi.

Before he came to take a look, Mama and Papa decided to send Bambi for grooming at the City as she had not had one for some time. It was also only fair to that guy if he really adopted Bambi.

While Bambi was having her grooming, Mama and Papa had lunch at Sizzler. We had not had such a meal for quite some time. We used to go to this place called Ponderosa who served much the same fare but it seems to have closed down in Singapore. And this Sizzler seems to be the only outlet that we’ve come across. We feasted there as the salad bar was open for a free flow of food. It helped that you were asleep for the most part so we could eat without worrying about you. J There was a tourist couple there who sat at a table next to us and the lady of that couple kept on looking at you, and when you woke up, played with you. :D

After our lunch, we went to collect Bambi and returned to await the arrival of the potential adopter. He came with his two teenaged daughters. The che-ches were very keen on having Bambi! Their eyes were practically aglow! There and then, they packed her off. Mama and Papa were quite sad as she was our first big pet together but we had to do it for your sake. Oh well… I’m quite sure Bambi is happy enough with her new owners – they seem like they will care for her well.

We love you, Little One!

Papa and Mama
