Before I even disect what the jungle man who talks love was saying... Let me give you some trace on my Pet history (w/c I want to trace as well), so you won't think that I am a self aclaimed pet lover. Ow! I am no designer..
When I was 2 years old, I have a puppy that we named "Puppy", the ironic factor naming a dog like that is when he is already aging.. we still call him puppy... so never name you dog like that, its nice at first but awkward in the long run. Puppy is an ordinary philippine dog.. alright.. minus the euphemism .. ASKAL (Lolz).. with a mix of japanese spitz. He is a big, adorable, furry dog, bage in color. I so miss him.
After Puppy, we had several dog's... comes snoopy (mix breed) and taylor (my brothers chuwawa), I love them but I never had much attachment to them, for one particular reason, they are not mine.
It was year 1993 when I lost Puppy. I was sad and it was traumatic, I was 6 that time.
After that, I changed direction... Hydro pets. Fish catched my attention, I had tons of them. That is where my allowance goes, in a petshop near school, it was like dota or counter strike to me at that time. I am thinking if computer shops were banned 50 meters from school, I think they have to the same thing with petshops, animals can be addictive as well. hahaha.
There is a pleasure going home with a plastic of half oxygen, half water & with fish on it, as I arrived home, I went straight to my 75 gallon aquarium, and can't wait for other fish to meet their new friend & soon to be enemy. Fish foods are like candy to me... I rather buy some of that and an additional decoration to my aquarium rather than to buy a stick of chupachups or a bottle of yakult for myself. Yes, when I was in elementary, I am very skinny.
If im not mistaken, Lizard became my favorite as well. the Iguana and this water lizard with orange spots.. I can't remember what is it called. I can't even remember a good story with my lizard experience. hahahaha. Amazing but very boring pets.
My fathers love birds died, it was sad... but I was happy, because I can now accomodate a pet that I badly want, a HAMSTER! The birds cage is now empty, we have now a space where I can locate my dream rat.. a furry rat... a cute one. Guinea pig is expensive... the one with a rapunzle like hair, so hamster is definitely my choice since I can afford it too.
After all those amazing experience of wonderful pets, I found myself still searching... when I decided to go back to dog's. When my world got filled with spots, I named my dalmatian Dog "MISSY". Dalmatians are adorable, they are very playful.. but my problem with them is they can't read any of my body language unlike my other dogs, they can not distiguish high tone voice to a low tone one.. for them.. it is all the same. The peculiarity of my Missy is, she is a big fan of Squash... to a point that she mistaken every orange thing to a food... including our guests slippers that is color orange. Missy died due to Parbo.
Missy's Parbo disease was very traumatic, there was a time when I have to sleep beside her... and give her medicine every 2 hours, she stinks, so do I. She is half dead but still trying to recover... That was monday, after school.... I haven't got the chance to say goodbye. I arrived home but she is already 6 feet under. I cried.... A lot.
Then comes the most beautiful pet that I ever had, a gift from a family friend who knows im addicted to dogs... My Shitzu, his name is LUCKY. People can't help but say "ang cute.." everytime I took him for a walk, with his t-shirt on. But having a pet with extreme hair like Lucky, grooming is very expensive and needs a lot of time dedication. There was this time, when I have to go to a vet and have him go bald due to his skin disease... seeing himself on the mirror made him so depressed... seriously... maybe he doesn't like what he saw in the mirror, he looks off without a hair. He became very aggitated and snob. September of 2006, he died, with no illness, up to now.. I don't know the cause of his death. Doctor says it might be depression or heart attact.
And at present, Im taking good care of my two lovely dogs. Both are gifts. May of 2007, a cage on my door step with this black hotdog like dog... A dream dog, a german dog.. my Duchshund.. his name is Magic. He is so adorable and very kind.. also intelligent. He is very special to me. He sniffs hard, he catches mouse better than our cats. He shares his dogfood to our cat... and sleeps with our cat. He is an animal who never harms another animal regardles the kind. And my mix breed dog, a combination of Labrador and Basset... imagine that? a huggable, furry short dog.. I named her Russia. A very playful dog, guilty of Glutony, and loves to bite slippers... but not anymore, she fears my high tone voice, she knows when Im mad and she hate it... she is so big that she can't hide under chairs.. she hates it, but she does not avoid me getting mad. This is one hard headed dog but lovely.
There! there's the trace... I mean, I think I am really qualified. :)
Deciding to own a pet is never just a craze, to me, its a commitment... and maybe that is what the discovery dude with a love tongue was saying, there is indeed a lesson we could learn from owning a pet... a dog perhaps... more than the benefit of companionship, we are thought how to be responsible... saving for his/her dogfood, alloting time for his/her walk, leaving the kaartehan behind during his/her bath.. etc. I think I've been a very good Daddy to all my pets. Was I able to apply it in the so called Love (mushy.. damn!)? I dont know... but I love to figure it out... but I think only my other halve's could tell.. now tell me. Was/Am I a good lover? hahahahaha. Just text me. not here.
THE END
