Pets



Accessories or friend?

A Chihuahua dog named Tinkerbell. I’m sure many people know this one, he’s (or she’s, I don't know) quiet popular among the media. Many newspapers or magazines have written all about this little dog, little Tinkerbell. So-called pet belongs to an heir of one famous hotel all over the world. Wearing many designers dog outfit, shiny jewelleries, and all that maintenance.

With the owner partying all night, all days, I was just wondering… is Tinkerbell an accessories or a friend? As a variety in exchange of Prada bracelets or just a friendly pet?

Nowadays, I’m thinking, pets are not friends for sharing your broken hearts or keeping you happy when you’re down anymore. They’re more like ‘something’ to upgrade your lifestyle thanks to that heir. We brought our pet with us everywhere, all bling-bling and stylicious. People is more like ‘aww.. he’s very cute!’ rather than ‘did you bathe him yourself?’ ‘did you feed him yourself?’…

We should really think this starting from our self. After all that day we showed our so-called pet to our clique, did we bathe or feed our own dog our self? As I read from some books about pets, in this case a dog, they know who their ‘mother’ is and they expect us to care about him as they care about us when we’re feeling down. They have feelings too, they’re sensitive just like us, they cried (although sometimes we didn’t know the difference between they’re crying or their eyes been visited by dust) just like us when we left them all alone. And what did most of us do? When we’re alone and sad from broke heart, we shared to them, we cried to them, they listen, they care, they do things they hope that’ll make you laugh. Yes, we bathe them our self and we feed them. The time we got our self a partner, we left them home with our maid to clean their poo, to bathe them, to feed them, when we’re out having a classy dinner and action movies. It’s ok to left dead things like toys or dolls (if you still play them) behind when we’re on a date, because they’re toys, they don't have feelings (Toy story 2 just exaggerating! Duh!) but dogs, they knew when we left them all alone, what can they do? Pretend nothing happened and just be happy for you? Yes, they can only do that. Hoping that someday you and your date and him will be a very happy family together (that is until your baby come along). And if your date’s going pretty well, they can just assume that your maid is their new ‘mommy’!

Lots of love!
