toby

its been about over a year now since my dad gave my dog toby away
and for most of you i bet you didnt even know i had a dog
but i did, for a short two weeks
until one day coming home from school
tommy and jenny ran to me and told me that dad had given our puppy away
without even asking us
and i know jenny was sad for a few days

but as for i, i didnt feel a thing
as much as i liked toby
i slowly grew sick of him
he was always barking to get our attention
he always acted cute so you had to have all eyes on him
you always had to feed, bathe and play with him
i dont know how he did it but he always got his way
because of people like jenny who gets sucked into these things
and soon after a few days he was more of a chore than a companion

for awhile i actually thought i would love toby
but it was just so tedious looking after him
because he had soooo many needs and wants
so its plain to say that i am not a pet person
even though i foolishly tried so hard to love pets

but whats strange is sometimes i do miss toby
but then i know when his around he would get on my nerves
and i would only realise i never really missed him at all
i just thought i did

and now i just think pets are only nice to you
because they are using you !
to get what they want
because if you dont fall in love with them
you wont run around and play with them
though you have provided them with numerous toys but none of them are good enough
and if you dont play with them everyday they get aggressive
and they dont understand you at all
that youve spent the whole day at work, school, doing homework and house chores
that you just cannot be bothered with them anymore

so thank god toby is with another family
that maybe might genuinely appreciate him more
sigh. he is such a lucky dog
maybe well should call the next pet lucky so he'd turn out unfortunate. LOL
