Want or Don't want

Me and my spouse are animal lovers. However, we don't own any pets in the house except the birds staying behind the room holes, a stray cat sleeping under our car every night...We welcome them as our guests in the house. We know we can't own a pet because both of us too busy with works and activities. Another reason was my spouse had an experience of took care of few dogs. He feld deeply sad when the love dogs passed away one by one- is like lossing the beloved in our life. He couldn't take it anymore. Even though we like animals, we can't affort to have one now.

Our neighboor has 4 dogs. We are happy to have them as our neighboor because we can play with them sometime. Recently, they have a cute puppy -is a rottweiler. He is very small and cute little pupply, may be only one or 2 months old. We felt pitty for the puppy because the owner looked the puppy 24 hours in the cage. We seldom see the puppy running outside happily. It is quite sad see the puppy live like this. If we are the owner, we will make sure he can play and run freely. We will train him to be a obedient good dog just like our friend. However, he is not our pet. Everytime, we will call the puppy and pad him. He is so happy to see us. How lovely if he is our dog?

One day, one of the sister called up and asked us, can we help her to keep a 1 year old dog-"rott-shepherd". Both of us like dog but we can't have pet because we always not in the house. We are in the dilemma. Before we went to visit the dog, our mind running with" want? or don't want?" Or " how?". It was a real dilemma for us. We replied the sister that we can't have it. Few days ago, the sister called up again and said still can't find owner for her dog. So, we decided to meet up with the sister and the dog.

However, "want? or don' want" keep running in our mind. We still can't decide. There are a lot of responsibility if we want to have a dog. We must make sure we ready for it. Both of us want the best for the dog. We wish the best for the dog too.

After both of us finished and came back from work, we went to the sister house. She straight away showed us the dog after we arrived. The dogs started to bark at us fiercely. They are the parents of the dog. We still wondering where was the dog. The sister was calling " baby! baby!". At firt, we though the puppy should be very small in size. When the sister pointed to the dog... Wow, it was such a huge dog. When he (male dog) standed up, he already taller than us. Both of us in a sudden shock. However, he is a very handsome, smart friendly dog. Black shinning in colour with super energy. We wondered, both of us already very lazy in exercise, sure we don't have enough energy to play with him.

We had a chat with the owner (sister). She told us that the rules and regulation at her houseing area are not allow to keep more than 3 dogs. So, she had to give away the 1 year old puppy even though she so reluctant. She had tried to reach up few people, however they all couldn't have the dog. Then, she tried to reach us again because she had not one else to reach for. After heard from the sister, we decided to take the dog. We want the best for the dog and don't want the dog ended up badly. Both of us promise to take care the dog. However, the children of the owner didn't know the dog going to give away. We decided to come back another time to take the dog. Bercause we want the family have time to say good bye with the dog. We also need time to prepare our house and buy something for the dog.

We still afraid we can't provide a good and warmth house to the dog. We hope we can take good care of the dog. My spouse had the experience in taking care of the dog but i have none. I just love animal. We are preparing to welcome the dog. We hope we can give the best to the dog. May be this is " blessing in disguise" for us.
