Before: a little over a year ago...notice how loved he looks.
Before: this summer. after 14 years of love.
After: we are sad about being clean. look how white he is!
After: he looks so new. i can't handle it.The maid washed Raja and I think I might cry. He's never been washed in the entire 14 years I've had him...
I'm devastated...he smells like clean laundry. :(
I came home from my morning class to find my room smelling fresh and clean. A pleasant surprise. What was not a pleasant surprise was to then find a sparkling clean, still warm from the dryer Raja under the covers. He's been washed. Along with my blankets and pillows and everything else that was on my bed. The funniest part of the entire situation was my reaction. I pulled back the covers and actually gasped very dramatically and exclaimed, "Oh no!!" I then immediately began laughing as I pulled him from the pile of cleanness that is now my bed...but more of a I-can't-believe-I'm-actually-really-sad-about-this kind of pitiful laugh than an outright this-is-really-funny laugh. I really actually felt like I was going to cry for a while. Until I realized how funny the entire situation is. The maid that speaks no English washed my beloved tiger for the first time in 14 years. Seriously though...this is a big deal, ok?

I am very worried....
Raja has probably lost all the symbiotic micro-organisms that help to build a healthy Tiger-Immunity!!
He is so far from home
"Raja....do NOT drink any unpurified water or your new pristine white fur will not remain so"
