Over the years, decades, centuries and even millennium, we have seen how humans and animals have bonded and the both parties benefit from themselves. Having a pet can be really scary to me but I love them when I see them with others, especially puppies 馃榿.
I grew up in a family that have little or no concern about pets and I'm sure that's the reason why I don't seem to like having pet too 馃槒. I've read so many post today and I've see how they all have sweet and memorable experiences with their pets and I'm feeling so jealous for not having one 馃ズ馃様.
I once had the opportunity to lived with a family that had a dog but I was so scared of going close to it but it always tries to come close but trust me, I will just run away 馃槀. It got to a point when I realized that running away will not change any thing so I tried getting close to the dog anytime my little brother was playing with it and with time I started facing my fears and I was now feeling a little comfortable around the dog.
For weeks I was able to move around but I just couldn't get rid of the fear totally. And because of the fear that I was unable to get rid of, something really bad almost happened. I just came back from an errand and there was no one outside because we had light at home. I was so happy there was light and I was running upstairs and I forgot there was a dog around but immediately I got to the door, the dog started barking, I became very scared and I ran back downstairs.
I stayed there and started calling for my brother but they were seeing a movie and the volume was at the highest. I yelled very loud but no body responded and by now, the dog was no longer barking but I was just too scared to go back. I kept trying but no one was coming and I immediately felt some silence, guess what? Lights out!!! The light was gone, I was suppose to be sad because I needed the light but I was happy, now they will hear me when I call.
While I was just trying to call again, my brother just came outside and was even playing with the dog, I quickly asked him to hold the dog so I will pass through. I was not sure why the dog was barking but I'm suspecting it's because it sensed my fear 馃槒. I liked the dog but I just still couldn't feel comfortable around him. Sadly, they gave the dog out to a boy because it now has lick all over his body because he was always going to the bush to hunt for food. I was also happy too because now I don't have to fear I will run into it anymore, hehe.
But if I'm to have any pet, I think I will go for a bird, Parrot to be precise. But I hope to overcome my fears someday and get a puppy as a pet 馃檲.
