Goodbye....

As i'm writing this very post,Tommy's lying motionless in my bathtub with the lights on so tht he can see the 2 inches of pellets sprinkled all over his territory...Tommy,mind you is my tortoise.Rewind the year when Ah Ma passed away...

I was young back then,when relatives,cousins and siblings were all paying their last respect to Ah Ma,i was instead busy begging a cousin of mine to buy me a tortoise which i previously saw in a pet shop,and after nagging her long enough,i finally gt Tommy.He was my very first pet and i dare say i loved him once upon a time and tht was tht...Tommy has been with me for a very very very long time bt then again, tortoise are meant to live for a 100 years rite??I must be a very bad owner to only let him live up to 1/10 of it's live span huh...Tommy is a very strong tortoise to live up till today.I've tried days,even weeks nt feeding tht poor fella and don't get me started on cleaning him up.Even after some false alarms,it didn't wavered my care for him a tad bit...I can't help bt feel a bit guilty for tht poor thing and i don't blame him for wanting to bite me to death with his herbivorous teeth when i change his water.My last words to you are tht you get plenty of food and clean water to drink when you're up in tortoise heaven and here's hoping you'll get a f-a-a-a-a-a-a-r better owner then me in the next life....Goodbye Tommy and sorry for making your life a miserable one...

Tommy Lim,2000-2009
