Want to get a pet?
I have my first pet at my age 8, it was a stray cat. I picked her up from the street. That was my first time fell in love and I know that she is my responsibility. Sad to tell that, she died very soon, I guess, a week later? I wasn't sure what I had fed her with or did I done something wrong, she would rather to die than spending more time with me. I cried and dreamt of her, I still recall that she came back for me, we played together, then, she flew away from me. Her body was floating in the sky and seems she is free and flying to the heaven. I tried to call her name, I couldn't speak, so I grabbed her legs. Then I woke up with my left hand on the air with tears rolling down my cheek. I was so devastated and thought of dying so that we can be together forever and ever. =(
Well, leave my sad memory behind. Let's talk about getting a pet for yourself. I would recommend dogs. For those who know me, let it be close friends or the people in my circle of life, I am a big fan of dogs. My mom is a pet lover, she is a pro in taking care of animals. I meant pet. I had my first puppies when I was 10, my bitch named Yun Yun gave birth for 5 puppies, only 3 survived. I was my first time, mind you. After the experience, when time goes by, I know that when your pet gives birth, make it like a human delivering babies. Which as a pet owner, you should bring them for check ups, ultrasound as well as healthy food before and after the delivery.
I have 4 dogs in my house while I owned 3 dogs with my bii. My first daughter is Mumble Chan, the celebrity in the house; Second is Roche Chan, Belgium shepherd a.k.a athletic in the house and Joker, the cute bitch a.k.a big eyes alien. They make me happier and delight my life. Different characteristics and moods of them trained me so well in taking care of pet's welfare. Wash the floor, clean the poo, bath them, nail-cutting, pamper them, walk them and etc. Lucky that Roche knows how to trim her own nails, I never use nail cutter on her.
Pets are adorable, let it be cats or dogs. If I am allowed to do so, my next pet would be a tiger or mini pig. Mumble Chan is adopted by us from a friend. Unfortunately, Mumble's parents died last year. To pay our last respect on such good parents, I brought Mumble to her parents' house before the dad got buried by the owner. Didn't manage to see the mom because the owner didn't inform us when Mumble's mom was ill.
Mumble is so adorable and caring, sometimes I would be very worried if she is home alone. Afraid that she will bullied by some morons or arse-holes, we decided to get a new dog so that they can take care of each other. German Shepherd is a no, Rottweiler is a big no, Golden is so gentle and blah-blah. After a research on dog's Wikipedia, we decided to get Belgium Shepherd. Fiercer than German, yet cleverer than other dogs. Diligent and obedient. Big thumb! We had searched for Belgium more than a year, at last we got it from Penang.
Then Joker. She was a surprise to my own expectation. I was having a shopping in KL then I stepped into a petshop. First met and I can't stop thinking about her big eyes and cute face expression. Being vulnerable for 3 days then I decided to take her home. She is freaking jaw-dropping expensive to me. RM 2200 for such a small dog. There's gone the half-month salary.
My friends were influenced by me and they decided to get a pet as well. My dogs are giant breeds, Joker is definitely the exception. Jeff said my dogs are tigers. They want to buy one as well but can't afford. So I came out with a superb brilliant idea. They can

I strongly recommend to adopt a non-pure breed before you have one like mine.
Because
1. You are freaking new in taking care of a pet. Amateur.
2. They have stronger immune system compared to pure breeds.
3. Strong mentality and first and foremost, they don't get lost easily.
4. Charity. Or you want to conned by blood sucking petshops?
Or,
you can't bear all the expenses. Such as
1. Deworm. Depends on the size. Mumble is 34KG, costs me RM350 each year. It' a MUST!
2. Vaccination. RM25 for 6-in-1, RM45 for 9-in-1 or 12-in-1. It' a MUST!
3. Vitamins for allergic sickness. (it might happens)
4. Food food food! And treats. RM190 for Eukanuba. Treat from RM 6 a pack. It' a MUST!
5. Toys. So that they can entertain themselves at night.
6. Shampoos and accessories (nail cutter, ear drop, eye drop and etc.) It' a MUST!
Mind you, I have 3 dogs. Which mean triple the fund.
What a lovely and responsible pet owner I am.
