The beauty and reality of dog ownership
Brooke 2022-03-22 09:01:40
I've always wanted to raise a dog, and I fell in love with Su Mu first, but I couldn't get it because of the family's conditions. Years ago, a 2-month-old Samoyed temporarily moved into my house, and we named it "Hanhan". Although the time was very short, I only stayed for more than 20 days, but it made me realize that in addition to the beautiful fantasy, raising a dog also has to accept some reality (poo and urine, shoes, pants legs, and wires). To be honest, sometimes it really breaks me down. Take excrement and urine as an example, since I beat it into the house, I haven't used a mop in my life for more than 20 days, but thinking about it, it's just an ignorant child, I have to be patient! I think raising a dog is similar to raising a child. It brings you happiness, troubles you, and teaches you what responsibility is. Sometimes there is a love-hate relationship with it, but in general the joy is of course far greater than the annoyance. Especially its sincere and passionate love for people really fascinates me.
