johan our lover

This is Johan, our love of our lives at home. First brought to our home April 27th in 2005, giving him shelter and abundance of love. He was very skinny and frightened. We brought him to our regular vet to have a thorough check up and happy that he was okay except very hungry.

Evensince he was at home, he was the attention of our love besides our two tortoises which have since been with us for many years. Johan was doing great after two weeks. And of course he was drastically pampered!

The best part is, he understood english and bahasa which made us so easy to 'talk' to him. Obviously very pampered he got not only our attention but you named it, from toys to just anything he loves to play, bite, eat and what nots. Very spoiled alrite.

I read lots of books to understand him better. I was even more worried when i knew that rabbits bites just whatever obstructs them like wires, rattan chair, even wooden stuffs.

There are times when i thought i would come home one day and find my home blown! Alas, thanked god, that didnt happen. Johan bite all our wires around the house and we insulated the wires for good. After that we bought more toys for him to chew and bite.

It was great coming home and whjen he greated us with his hopping and flapping of his ears. He even hopped and made one or two circle around me. And such charmed he had and cheeky when i carried him to give him a BIG hug of the day.

I am always looking forward to go home and hug him every evening. He just knew you will be at the door and welcoming us home. There are times we would both take a nap together and watched tv. He was a great companion so to say.

Johan died May 3rd, 2009. He must have fallen sick but i had not noticed it. I regretted for not noticing it. I guess owner and pet do have a bonding and understanding. Just hours before he died, he wanted to be held and i carried him as usual around the house. He acted kind of odd and i looked at him and sensed that something had gone wrong. He was not his usual self. Obviously it was too late to run to the vet. I had been with him until the end. My husband and i burried him under a tree besides a surau.

He will always be in our mind. Forever.

Everyday i remembers Johan. Not a day without missing him.
