I read a lot of emails about pets, but few of them say it as concisely and eloquently as this:
A PET’S TEN COMMANDMENTS………
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
We do not have to wait for Heaven to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs!
These are really very, very nice.
Just a few comments:
… except when I choose to be separated, perhaps to meet my favorite cat-girl.
… but I expect you to understand what I want, immediatly!
… and 10.
That’s going to be hard, I guess, but I will
a) care for my two cats and help them staying alive, offering any treatment I can afford, as long as they seem to be enjoying their lifes,
b) help them make the final transition as smooth as possible, I want them to die in my arms. I know, I’m going to snivel like a small girl, I really love them so much, both of them, as different in character as they are.
Thanks.
