Turtles are cute, yeah, 'til they start snapping at your fingers. I almost had my finger cut to the bone by a snapper back when I was a pre-teen, I think, and I still have the scar to prove it. >_<
As for pets, I like them as long as they behave and aren't too messy. I grew up to a household having a dog chained near the door, so I grew fond of them. First one of them was name Kire (synonym ng malandi
), who was riddled with ticks and died when she got away one day and got eaten by nearby lasenggos.
Next, we had a cute, white dog who was Kire's offspring(forgot his name), but sadly, he also died at the hands of hungry drunkards.
Next I remember, my sister had a cute little pup, also forgot the name, that she used to love soooo much to the point that the pup can't even walk properly because he was too stuffed with dog food. My tita found him one afternoon half-dead, he had gotten strangled by his loooong leash, then he slipped into a nearby canal. He died soon after. Tragic
Then came the time of the Pitbulls, my cousin likes to raise them for fighting, so they were robust, strong and full of battle-scars. Nonetheless, they were affectionate despite their scary nature. I vaguely remember three generations passing our house.
Along with the pitbulls, we had a daschund-askal mixbreed that we raised, and I really liked it 'cause it was a brown, perky-eared shorty. Time passed and I grew more into games and school so I only had time to pat it a few times everytime I passed by. My tita's household just fed it leftovers, and eventually she became old and grew very thin because she wasn't eating well. Then we moved to where we live now, and the last time I saw her, she was already very weak. I think she's already gone.
Only fun that I had with the dogs other than the affection was with the pitbulls, it seems. They scare the heck out of visitors because of the way they barked (I had fun with visiting female classmates). They were very strong too, since my cousin had them wear thick chains as leashes. They could literally drag me along as they ran.
As for cats, there were lots of street cats where I used to live. Though they were afraid of people, they grew fond of me because I gave them food anytime I can. There's even this one cat that had a chain on it's neck made of aluminum soda openers. Cool cat.
As I was walking home one night, while I was on the phone with GF, I heard a kitten mew. I found two of them, shivering in the wet road as it just rained. I remember how I carried it home on my polo pocket, it was noisy for a while then it slept, comfy in the little pocket. So cute :3
We eventually named it Milky. It had a monster appetite for milk. Sobrang galit sya sa feeder bottle nya, I had bloody fingers everytime I fed her. And she would drink 3/4ths of a bottle every feeding time, non-stop.
I brought Milky over to where my GF lives, and they happily adopted her. Now it's a mother of 2 generations of cats. Mmm kittens.
Uber long post >_<.. I really like pets, but I don't have any as of now.
