Pets are Family too
Hello guys! How is your day? Today will be a very busy day for me. I received few customized orders of my handmade felt crafts. You can check my article about here. I need to finish them ahead of time so that I can make more stocks for my regular designs. I woke up early today too, for my kids morning online class. And then in the afternoon, I will go to my kids school to pick up the printed modules for week 2 and 3. I also received payment for my client’s order yesterday and will book the item later after lunch. And lastly I need to go to bank to pay our monthly amortisation. A busy day ahead indeed.
Anyways what a long introduction we had there, for today’s article I would like to introduce to you our beloved pets. I had already mentioned our dog Yumi in my previous works. If you want to read about it you can check it here.
But before we begin, please check these beautiful ladies works too. If you want to get inspired and learned a lot, kindly check their profiles. They’re all amazing!😍
Yumi the Dog
Yumi got in the family three years ago. She is a mixed breed of pomeranian and poodle. But sometimes she looks like a japanese spitz. We got here from a friend’s family. She is a very sweet dog and she liked to be pet a lot. When she was still a puppy she loved to play a lot. There were times when my kids were playing basketball in the garage, she was also there playing with them, like she was part of the team.
Our yumi likes to travel a lot too. Every Sunday we always went to cemetery to visit my late mom in law. So in the afternoon, while the rest of the family is preparing to leave, this little ball of sunshine was on the front door already waiting to be called. The moment she heard the word “gusto mo sumama?” (you want to come?) she immediately wagged her tail, like she was telling us it a yes. There were times that we won’t allowed her to come with us, but once she knew she is allowed she would definitely be the first one to get on car.
Our Cat Kuring
Our Kuring is a male straycat. When the pandemic started last year, while Anthony and I were hanging outside the house for a while, we found this cute little kitten roaming around our street. My husband is naturally a cat lover, while I was not. She liked this particular kitten because it has the same color of his old cat years ago. Maybe he missed it, that was why he named it after his old cat, “Kuring”.
At first, I didn’t want it inside the house, because like I said earlier I am not into cats. It’s not that I hate them, I just don’t feel like taking care of them. But my husband’s was so persistent in taking the kitten inside and was convincing me hard that we take Kuring. Eventually I ended up saying yes. It took only few days, when I found myself attached to our little kitten. Because of his cute size and beautiful “pretty please” eyes, I instantly became a cat lover.
Another Cat Taba
Taba is short for tabby cat. He was an old tabby cat who’s also roaming around our street. He is big cat indeed that was why we called him “Taba”(fat). We just knew that he belongs to Tabby cat family because of its characteristics and size. He was a one hungry cat that even though he has eaten his share, he keeps on meowing for more. Taba doesn’t stay in our house l, because oftentimes he and Kuring fought a lot. It seems like someone is territorial huh! You’ll know already when he was coming because of his loud meowing.
Part of the Family
I know everyone can relate when I say that pets are part of the family too. We care for them just like our real children. There was one time our Kuring didn’t came home for 3 nights, we looked out for him in every street inside the village. We really thought something happened to him, because it was very unusual for him not to go home for days. Then one day he just showed up. It seems that he was stuck in somebody else’s house for days. I was glad because he came back home.
Ending Thoughts
These pets, even though they can’t talk, their actions shows that they love us too. They gave us joy and somehow can take all the stress we might feel at the moment. We’d like to take care of them like they were our children. We looked at their welfare like a real family should. We’re also worried when they are sick or when something is not right. Having them is also a big responsibility. Taking care of them is not just about giving them food and shelter but also giving them the love they deserve.
