大家有寵物的話可以看一下 @linuslee0216舉辦的寵物選美比賽喔！可惜我沒有在養（不過蟑螂應該可以找找），我也想參加T T 不過回想起來，以往家裡也有養過兩次寵物～ 就如首圖，是倉鼠和雞～
其實兩樣都年代滿久了，倉鼠明顯是哈姆太郎熱潮而養的。開始的時候買了一隻，金黃色的。所以叫「金」； 然後怕它寂寞再添一隻，銀灰色的，叫「銀」。有夠懶的取名方法，哈哈...
一開始，兩隻雄鼠在同一個籠裡整天追逐。銀在晚上還在跑圈圈，非常吵。金就越吃越胖，上二樓的隧道是牠最喜歡的藏身之所。牠一坐下就整個封路了。
天氣轉涼，籠上加了一塊毛巾擋風保暖。但沒兩天就給牠們倆咬到破爛，碎碎都給帶回小窩。
有一天母親好奇，掀起了無底的小窩。結果，有三隻小倉鼠滾滾滾了出來@@
沒可能吶兩隻男怎生孩子... 所以一定是店員看錯了。總之，多了三顆粉紅色的小肉球。
還沒有開眼的小倉鼠我們不敢碰，聽說沾有別的味道的小BABY都會給父母放棄，或者咬死。只能等著金銀牠們自己拾回小窩裡。三隻都不同顏色的，但都看出來是金銀的混色就是了。不過第二代長大後也沒有原本買回來的壯，可能店頭養的方法不同吧？
沒有第三代的情況下，幾年後倉鼠們也到了天堂了。
If you have pet, you may interested in @linuslee0216's pet contest. I do not have pet now, otherwise I want to join too! Anyway, today I would like to share two old stories of pets in my home.
With the trend of Hamster Taro, two hamsters came to my home. One is yellow brown in colour, called *Gold"; one is white silver in colour, called Silver. A lazy way to name the pet ^^;
Two male hamsters always chasing each other. Silver like running in the ring at night, very noise. Gold likes eating. It likes sitting inside the tunnel connecting to the 2nd floor in the cage. It filled up the tunnel space by his fat body.
When entering the fall, we covered the cage by a towel. However, they tron it quickly and filled up their little house.
One day, my mother was curious what they are doing and took away the little house (which has no bottom). And, three little hamster babies rolled out!
We were shocked because we though Gold and Silver were both male. Quite obvious, the shop's stuff made a mistake.
We had heard that if we touched the babies, the hamster parents will kill them because their become different. So, we just left them alone and let their parents took them back to the house.
The second generation with the mixture of colour from their parents. After they grew up, still smaller then the first generation. May be the feeding method is different with shops.
With no following generation. The hamsters went to paradise and the story stopped here.
Outline. 起稿
主角就是過去的寵物們了。再加上花園給牠們，也有幾顆牠們喜歡的葵瓜子和栗米。
The characters are the pets. And a little garden for them. Also, sunflower seed and corn.
Coloring. 上色
如果看以前的作品，我都用色很鮮和多。這次控制了用色的裡量，也選了比較低飽和度的顏色。嗯...但好像還是改變不大。
If you had read my old post, I always draw with many colors and high saturation. This time I tried to narrow down the number of colour used and with lower saturation. hm..It seems not much difference.
Background and fine tune. 背景和修飾
最近好像都有畫完才想反悔的毛病，雞冠部份又改動了一下。
Recently, I always “regret” after finished the illustration. A little bit correction of the comb.
到養雞的故事。在小學時，是哪年我也忘了，還沒有私人禁養的年代，親戚送我一隻小雞。毛毛黃黃好不可愛！家人就找來紙箱，就成了雞窩。
記得小雞吃米，我也會把早餐的餐包給牠。額...連果醬的應該沒問題吧？
閒時給牠換換水。有時候看電視，家人會把牠放到沙發上放雞。長到中型雞時，祖父帶我，我帶雞到公園玩。小灌木叢花圃是放雞的好地方。雞可以在裡面走，但又不會跑太遠。然後，雞大便也順利成章變成肥料 ^^；
我還期待牠會在早上雞啼，但印象中沒有。嗯... 忘了... 況且貪睡如我火警鐘嗚都不會醒，雞可能啼了也不知道。
雞長得快，不久紙皮箱就變得很狹小。有一天回家，雞變成了晚飯。
傷心也有一點，但沒有大吵大鬧。我本身也不太會吵。而且，從小知道祖輩是開農場的，養的不是寵物，是食物。
所以我也早有一點點心理準備。就默默吃完牠。
幾年前有一個綜藝節目，內容好像是讓小朋友到農場養豬，然後又把豬做成炸豬排之類。片段在臉書被傳來傳去，不少人在討論這種教育方法是好還不好。好的讓小孩知道每天食物的來源，學會珍惜食物；反方有人說太殘忍，拿天真的小孩來作節目效果，反正長大總會知道的。
想起了十多年前連名字也沒有的小雞，不過也許今天不喜歡浪費食物的心態是那時候養成的。
About the chicken. I do not remember the exact time, just in my primary school age. My relative bought me a chick. It is so lovely. Light yellow and furry one. My family found a paper box and it became the home of it.
We fed it with rice. I also gave it bread… with jam. I hope it was alright.
Refilling water and sometimes took it out and put on the sofa while watching TV. When it grew up to be a young chicken. My grandpa brought me, I brought the chicken to the park. I put it in the bush parterre. It would not run too far and also the poo became the fertilizer, lol.
It grew up fast. One day, when I back home. It became the dinner.
I was not too sad or cry like mad. I knew my grandparents run farm for a long time. So, they were not feed it as pet, but food.
Of course, still a little weird feeling and little bit sad. Keeping quite and finished the dinner with thanks.
Few years ago, there was a clip of entertainment TV show shared frequently on Facebook. It was about children visiting farm with pig, and then made the pig to pork. Some people appreciate it because it teaches children how we get food and respect the animals; Some did not. It was because it was too cruel. It was only making a show with children’s innocence. Children will know how the food comes from when they grow up.
It made me recall the memory of the unnamed children. May be the habbit of not wasting food is built from this experience.
