Jammer Log (WARNING: highly mundane!)

DAY 1 Sunday

Sick..very sick. Jammer's found lying in his own pee. The first thing that came across my mind is wet-tail. His paws and feet were cold. His coat was scuffy, with ears down, and one of the eyes was closed with pus. He looked on the verge of death as I could see his heart beat so fast. The best I can do is to transfer him out of his cage and place him in a new cardboard box with fresh bedding, tissue, water and food. As he cannot take hard food, I cooked some hard-boiled egg. Though the little one is sick, he is still appreciative. A restless night followed with constant monitoring..but I fell asleep eventually.

DAY 2 Monday

Prepared some scrambled egg for him and he likes it, but he took only a tiny portion of the entire bowl. I was worried about his water intake as he refuse to drink from his water dispenser. He slept and slept and sometimes I think he won't make it as he slept in all sorts of contorted positions. One interesting thing I found is that he was always found with his head resting on the rim of the food bowl. Later at night I ran to the stores and bought him a syringe. He is not happy about this part and after all that effort blobs of water droplets just accumulated outside his mouth. I think maybe out of these blobs he only tried drinking 10% of it.

Day 3 Tuesday

Bought 2 sprays for cage cleaning and antiseptic respectively as I suspect the culprit for his illness is bacteria infection. A lot of work to do now! As for Jammer: more resting, and plan B for food. Cooked him porridge. And he seems to like it and tucked his head in right away. Finally I found a good way to hydrate him. Now all I could do is to make him comfortable and wait for him to recover.

Day 4 Wednesday

Jammer woke me up today. His constant scratching is even better than alarm clock as his box is on my bedside table. He's much lively today and yes, he shrank in size. Where is that fat carpet-look-a-like Jammer? I am gonna beef him up when he's fully recovered. And with all that scratching he's destroying his temporary nursing room, so I better clean up and restore his cage asap.

Update:

1.08am. Hooray! Cage cleaning done. Took me 3 hours!.... Scrubbed down everything and disinfected everything. I think all the action is going to make me into a clean freak when it comes to Jammer hygience. And boy..he was happy and excited and went right to the second floor and lodged himself onto the top of the cage, completely ignoring the 2 floors drop. I think he's amazing. It puzzles me how quick his attitude changed when I moved him from the temporary cage to his own cleaned cage. At the temp place he's always resting more than moving around but once in the cleaned cage he's back to his old self. I wonder why..but at least for now I dont have to worry about him suddenly die on me anymore.

Paper Cranes for Jammer

Dear Jammer,

I am writting this to you in the hopes that you will get better soon to your old happy and active self. I miss the lively and happy you. I miss your late-night-food-crunching and running-on-wheel noises.

You mean a lot to me. You are the first thing and the last thing i see every night. And I think about you even when I am overseas. This part sounds wrong, but it's true! I really can't bear to see you dying. I felt so bad when I found out that you were sick and I had to leave for that convention. And I got so scared that you would die when I found you lying on your side. It reminded me hauntinly of my two rabbits who died a tragic death due to illness. This time, I wish I could prevent history from repeating itself.

Right now you are so weak and I really hope a miracle can happen. Please get back up again..I beg you. And please please drink more water. If you need to sleep that much to recover, I will wait patiently..

Get well soon!

With lots of love,

Kat

My Jammer My Love

Jammer enjoys a good pet.

And he is a good pet that has a wonderful owner who enjoys to pet him.





Lucky boy, ain't him?



Below this line is a turn for the worse in my swinging mood
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stupid blogger is absolutely behaving like an ass....AGAIN!
my faithful trust in u is draining away...very quickly..

If someone important is searching for that keyword which shows up this part (which differs hugely from my NORMAL temperament, coughs..)

please...do something!


Once or twice is still ok, but now it's beginning to look like a period that comes every month, for the ladies...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok...finish. but still, very frustrating!

Flyday

This morning, I attempt to save this sick baby..my mother mentioned sth like it needs to be hanged to grow. So...here it goes.

Not balanced..but whatever..

And then..seeing my poor balancing acts, she got interested and took the situation into her own hands.

Ok, at least now it's balanced..

Then I brought Jammer for a walk..He has already received some leftover food and toiletries from two fellows who unfortunately passed away. It's inevitable..but it still saddens me to know that in the near future.....hai...

'Can I bribe you?' - Kat

'NO!! You think $10 can bribe me???!! You nuts?' - Jam
'Run ahhh!' - Jam

'Ok..let's rest.' - Jam

Today is Friday...

another time another day..


I want to bake something and have a cup of tea.


kat.

Coming Soon..

I may get my hands on a good new camera soon! The price in Japan is not necessarily cheaper as my father had found out. The body is slightly cheaper but the biggest issue is the warranty..dont think i would be flying all the way to Japan to fix a problem. Hopefully getting a good deal in sg is not a difficult challenge, may need more expertise in this..mmm...for now, just imagine..the pics are all in excellent quality!


Like this one...



and still hanging there..



He just can't keep his head still..


Last Friday? oh noo Thurs...

Before the critique, everybody's exhausted to the max and we decided to hide in the toilet when we saw Fab oncoming.. (there are about 8 girls..or more..I hope he's not hurt by our move. hahaHA)

and yes..the presentations...I have to say..i was freaking tired to hear anything and register anything inside my head. OMG..it was sooo boring to stand/sit through the entire 2 hours? Can't remb exact.


But some people really did a good job..I would say.



Hopefully I can stop the pixel killing pictures asap..

With Love,
Kat

It's Been A Year Now

Dear Jammer,

Happy Birthday to you!

You will never know a human being loves you and will always be. Though you are just a little fellow who eats, sleeps, shits, runs and nothing else, I love you for who you are. I wonder how u always managed to look so cute at any given time of the day, be it just out of bed or sweating it out at some funny and weird exercises.

It's been a year now, and I really hope I will have another year with you. I knew from the beginning that your departure is imminent and inevitable so it's important for me to give you the best 2 years you can have. And it's interesting to see your habits, way of life and, after sometime, how we adapt to each other. I got used to you running on your wheel at the least expected point of time, and you got used to me staying up late.

You have been good company, and it shall be that way for at least another year.
