They Have Melted My Heart

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY2 years ago (edited)

Happy Thursday Hivers!

If you're following my blog, maybe you know how much I dislike dogs or any animals. I cannot understand the rush of exhilaration and the feeling of joy that animal lovers feel when they see animals or when they are welcomed by dogs and cats at their home's doorstep after a long day away from home.

When my sister and I bought a dog for our mother, after she expressed how much she wanted to have one (at that time, she was living alone at home), it was really against my will. But since I could not stay by her side all the time, I gave her what makes her happy.

The memory is still vivid of how I asked her to keep her dog in her room every time I am home. Her dog was playful, energetic, and an attention seeker, which I really hate. I hate that its nails could possibly leave a scratch on my skin if I allow it to play with me.

I had a bad experience with dogs when I was a child. Since then, whenever I have a close encounter with a dog, my heart rate will rise, and I will start sweating automatically. That's how I feel in the presence of dogs, and that bad experience leads me to dislike dogs or animals in general.

When someone asks me about my favorite pet or if I have a pet at home, I usually shrug my shoulders. I haven't had one since I was a kid, and I don't have a fascination with owning one.

However, like the changing world, there is a strange change I have noticed in myself recently.

It was a Sunday morning when I went to Valencia Plaza to check out and experience their famous Valencia Plaza Market. Vendors were all busy entertaining customers when I arrived. I never expected that there was something that could truly capture my heart that day.

As I was on my way to the food stalls, the dramatic eyes of the adorable creatures captured my heart. It was like I fell in love with them at first sight.

I had seen many bunnies before, but I had never felt the same feeling I had a few days back. It was a strange feeling.

As I came closer to them, I noticed that they didn't care about my presence. They had their own world, and the chaotic world they were living in didn't seem to affect them. They were all adorable, well-behaved, and had shiny fur.

"Am I ready to have a pet? Am I ready to take the responsibilities as a pet owner?" Those questions kept playing on my mind. As much as I wanted to take them home, I wasn't ready yet. I didn't have a cage for them, and I didn't know how to take care of them.

So, I left the store and the adorable bunnies. I didn't take that feeling seriously, maybe I still refused to accept that I had found a pet that melted my heart.

But as I got home, their lovely faces occupied my thoughts. I wanted to return and take them home, but I still didn't have a cage for them. So, I just held back the great feeling of fascination because I wanted to provide them with proper and decent shelter.

Soon, I wouldn't shrug off my shoulder whenever someone asked me about my favorite pet. I could say that I have my lovely bunnies at home who were always excited to see me when I arrived home.

Namaste! I am fond of reading books, watching korean, american and filipino series/movies and I am also fond of gardening. I love listening to different life stories and I am always captivated with the beauty of nature so travel is my escape when life turns into blue. But hey, how could I forget my photography hobby? It is one of the best, so follow me as I will be featuring my experiences of the stuff that I am passionate with.

Hi, thanks for the follow and reblog!😸
I had followed and read your stories since I started to write here. I was captured by the photos of the bunnies😄 my little sis recently acquired one too and we made a DIY cage in no time😆, and also the responsibilities you said is so real. Your rabbit are so cute btw🐰🐰

You're Welcome @janesuiren !

Maybe that's the reason they captured my heart; because they were so adorable. I haven't purchased them yet because I'm afraid they might be gone too soon if I do. I don't have any experience in raising one.

I also would prefer a low maintenance pet if i could choose😸

I'm sorry that was your experience with a dog when you were young, no one can blame you for disliking them. I hope it's the other way around that you had experienced, the loyalty and sweetness that I've seen in them. 🥺

But anyways, murag welcome to the club gihapon najud ni. Yey!!! 😁
