Been wanting to have a dog since I was young. But parents have always said no. Since 2-3 years back, sometime after W n I got tog, that thought struck me again. A companion, a lil someone there, maybe to fulfil that childhood dream, to satisfy that moment of oh-so-cute-I-must-bring-it-home. Though we started visiting pet farms n pet shops on a regular basis these past few years, I've always held back. I never felt quite ready. There's always something stopping me. Irregular work hours (my job scope 2-3years back then), wedding prep, etc. This has gradually gotten me to ease on that longing for a dog but nonetheless, I still hang out at pet shops to ogle at dogs on a regular basis (despite having no pets).
3 weeks ago, I suddenly decided to visit a dog farm again. No reason why. Just like our regular dog ogling session. But somehow we din make it. So last week, I brought up the dog farm visit again.
I seriously din Set out to buy a dog. And while we were dog ogling, I suddenly saw him! And somehow everything just felt right. I dunno how to explain it. The moment he peered up at me n smiled, everything just clicked. Like I can change myself just for him. Like just anything. A lil part of me cautioned against impulse purchase. So I tore myself away from his cage n went walking around visiting other dogs. When I came back, things just felt more n more right. W, always my pail of cold water, could feel the connection with him too. N after much discussion (ok not that much), we both felt that we will take up that responsibility of being responsible dog owners/parents.
Proudly introducing my lil baby, 潘小宝。
