Owning a Pet Dog – Not At This Moment Thank You

12 April 2014No Comment

 

Let me introduce you to One One!

When I was in Perth recently, I met my cousin’s cute little Shih-Tzu =)

Now you see, I love dogs.

I had my first dog – a poodle – when I was five.

Then I also had four Mini Pinschers right till the time I left for Perth at the age of 14.

And during my 9 years in Perth, I had a Pomeranian and a mix breed of Australian ‘blue heeler and Kelpie‘.

(Oh btw, the mix breed I had was really smart! I personally trained him and he could all sorts of tricks, from shake hands, sit, stay, crawl, roll over, play dead, jump, jump and spin, etc. Love him!)

So, ‘Why don’t you get another dog now?’, some people asked me.

Haha. No, not at this moment thank you.

Because I already have SO MANY OTHER THINGS to take care of every single day.

It’ll be like, … having FOUR kids and a husband!Three kiddos.

A home.

Work.

Ministry.

Blogging, editing, and all sorts of other stuff.

And oh of course, a husband! =D

Plus, we live in an apartment, with no helpers nor drivers.

So as much as I love dogs, right now I can’t imagine having one!

It’ll be like, … having FOUR kids and a husband!

*yikes*

I mean, really, if I had a dog, I would want to TAKE CARE of it properly.

And ‘now’ is definitely not a good time for us to have one.

(But yes, we welcome play-time with other people’s pets =)

 

 

Having said that, I think one day we’d like to have one, ie. When the kids have all moved out or something (and we live in a house, with a backyard? =)

And you know what, if we could, Wilson and I would love to have a Siberian Husky one day =)

Now, I wonder … ‘Would YOU get a dog when your kids are still little?’

Any particular breed you have in mind? =)

Or, do you love dogs and like me, would prefer to have one LATER when the kids have all grown up?
