more pets

in the past two weeks,
someone had donated two dogs,
pre-named of course
and horrible names too
simba and zorro
and zorros a girl which i found weird
because everytime i think of zorro
i think of the movie
and im pretty sure zorro was the masked heroine
anyways after the first night ide already wanted to give them away
add to that, they were loud
they were always moaning and barking
and the neighbours even complained after one night
so we tried to give it back to the owners
and they didnt want them -_-"
so we had them for a week until we had time to find a new owner
trying to call all these family friends to keep em

anyways what im trying to say is..
jenny ended up crying heaps when we gave them away
ran up stairs and slammed my door shut..
and locked it too
like its her own room

so we ended up negotiating
and bought three goldfish the next day
and kept them in a jar to keep her satisfied
because she really wants pets
i dont know why though.
its been a week and the fish are still alive..
pooing a lot..
but still alive.
lets see how long they'll last
i think these would be the first pet to die before my family gives them away.
but its good to know they dont make too much noise or jump on you with excitement

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
