Thank you @hivelearner for this amazing platform and also for the banging topics we get every weeks. This topics has really helped us to think outside our comfort zones and even helped us to remember most of the things we had long forgotten for a while.
When I was about 5 years old I had this soft spot for cats 🐱 and kittens 🐈⬛ , I love how cute they always look. They are always very quiet and would always hover around their owners, I always dream of having one. This dream of mine was cut short when I heard about a very strong superstitions of how cats would spit into your eyes and you would automatically go blind, or even how the movie industry portrayed cats as an evil animal/pets. I was brainwashed and I got so scared and even though those things might not really be true it has grown on me and I always see cats like that. This fear of mine is Ailurophobia.
When I was 9 years old , I remembered my dad had several dogs 🐕 both male and female always running around our house then, they protect us from strangers we don’t know. They would always bark when they see someone they don’t know or like. The female ones gave us many cute puppies 🐶. Soon they where more than 10 dogs and my dad decided to start selling them off . It wasn’t a happy moment for us but we didn’t have any options since our house couldn’t contain them.
We didn’t sell them at once but gradually. Finally after so many years it later balls down to just two dogs one male and the other female.
My dad wasn’t with us anymore and we had all started doing one or 2 things with our lives we weren’t caring for the dogs like we use to, like giving them enough attention like before. So one day some kids came to us crying about an accident on the express way, it was said that our dog followed a fellow dog out and while he was coming back, a bus driver knocked him down and that was the end of our precious dog. It was really sad for us and considering we didn’t even get to see the driver. He was buried and we moved on.
Now we had only 1 dog remaining, we called her Angel, in fact we started taking care of this one much more than before. We bath, feed and played with her a lot, she was very quiet and doesn't like going out at some point we were scared she wouldn’t get pregnant since she doesn’t like going out with other dogs personally I believe she must have missed her friend so much that she wishes to stay alone.
I came back from work one day and I was told our beloved angel was no more , I screamed and said what happen? They said she was sitting under a car very close to the tire and was sleeping too, the owner of the car wasn’t aware and was in a hurry, he entered his car and immediately started driving unfortunately for the dog her head was really close to the tyre and that was how her head was crushed into piece. It wasn’t a pleasant sight at all and I really couldn’t take it . I remembered I cried throughout the night and kept dreaming about it for days before I was able to move past the situation.
Ever since then we decided not to own any dogs for the time being except we have our own house. It been 7 years now and we still don’t own a dog 🐩.

Well if I would own a pet it would be between a Bunny and a dog but this time a different type of dog a Bichon frise. These two are my favorites pets and would love to own them. Bunnies 🐰 are the cutest animals I have ever seen, they are very shy and also have a fluffy body. The house I’m staying now doesn’t accept pets if not I would have gotten one for my self.
This is my pet story
