Ok so getting a pet is like adopting a kid.
Its poops & you clean it up,
It pukes & u clean it up,
They play on your emotions and you feel sorry and give them whatever they may want,
you pay for the food and they gobble it all up,
you forget what a sound nights sleep is like as you worry about squishing the poor thing to death when they sleep between you and your partner.. Gosh! I dont think we knew what were in for!?
Fortuni and I spent a good 6 Months debating whether we ought to get a puppy or if we should not? Can we afford this or can we not? Should we get two or only one pet? What breed are we to decide on and AGREE on? What is their nature? Will that specific breed be easy to train or not? Will we be able to find a house or complex which permits animals?
Well we eventually agreed on the Jack Russell, why? well cause it seems not only animals and babies play on emotions, men do too :)so we agreed on that specific breed of Dog.
We had visited a few pet shops, And like a woman I also tried to play the emotional game with Fortuni. I would give him the sad puppy face when I saw a dog I wanted but somehow it just did not work and we would leave with no cute doggy in the window..
But one Sunday morning while visiting my mother inlaw we went to the mall, we were told the previous day by Fortunis sister that there were a few breeds there. Now its month end and we had a lot to pay this month and of course we had like so may other times agreed on a budget for the next month. In the back round I could hear all the little barks and cries for someone, anyone to pick one and take one of them cute little doggies home, and with a fast paced walk I marched to the Pet Shop with such high hopes in my heart already, SCREW THE MONTHLY BUDGET,SCREW WHAT WE AGREED ON IM NOT LEAVING HERE TODAY WITHOUT MY DOGGIE!
It was him, I knew it was him I wanted . The small Jack Russell all alone in one little cage, he was so small that he was able to fit in the palm of my hand. He looked at me with such fire, strength and courage as well as the little puppy look that played on my heart & said TAKE ME HOME,TAKE ME,YES ME! Before Fortuni had even reached the pet shop I was already holding this small bundle of energy in my hand, he started to crawl up my neck and kiss me every where...oh ho my heart started to pound with excitement and happiness ,there was no way he would go home to anyone else but with me and everything he wanted would be his!
By the time Fortuni had eventually found me I was already starting with my puppy begging look and emotional mind control trick :) I said, But please Babe he is only R350.00, he is all by himself in this cage, he is small he wont get in you way and he is a Jack Russell just like you wanted...Here babe, just hold him, look how much Energy he has-aaah Babe he is perfect & I want him, we are not leaving here until I know he is coming ho9me with me...oops I mean us;)
But little did I know I was not the only one with high hopes that day, I was not the only one who had my eye and heart set a bundle of happiness to take home....Why is he looking at me that way? Why wont he budge? What do I say next to land this sale I though to myself..
No! I dont like him! He looks like a Rat! what! How could he possibly say this about this new little man in my life who had captured my heart? Did he not hear the good sale pitch I had made earlier? Well we are taking him, and you are not going to say no to me okay, I said aloud to him.
You will listen to me and do as I say as I have already agreed to the breed of Dog you wanted and he is only R350.00 and that will fit in with the money budget for the month(Dam I hope Im getting through to him) But aaaah no, truth was he was still staring at me with that blank look on his face like not one word I just said was registered. Babe put that Rat back in its cage, we not getting him!! I have found a pure Jack Russell, a healthier and bigger Jack Russell with muscle in his legs, come on babe look how cute he is-But all is saw was this lifeless, gay male dog who was been humped by some other dog in his cage!
Babe, he is just sitting there been humped and he wont defend himself, he is gay, a faggot! but babe look at him, he is so cute...come on just hold him for a bit.No!I dont like him and I dont want him,I want my small puppy who is all on his own and who has more fire in him! But babe I wanna breed with pure jack Russells and healthy Jack Russells not that Rat-OOOOH ! And you think that you going to breed dogs with a male who only like males humping him-No!
The lady who was also admiring the animals told fortuni to always listen to the female as we never lose the fight, so he might as well give up his fight now-I grinned with such a sarcastic, cheecky, naughty smile like a kid who just played mom up against dad :)
well this went on for two hours, I was eventually crying, begging and pleading that we get both then. Then I told him his Dog was R750.00 and it was not in our budget so we could not get him and the R350.00 Rat will be the best choice for oblivious reasons, Dah!
After man hours of all that we left with only his Gay, Faggot dog!
I didn’t want to admit it to Fortuni that I liked the fag that was actually so dam cute, cause then male ego would build up and he would win the next battle again-which there was not way in hell he was going to, next time he is my bitch and
We sat in the car, and he immediately fell asleep in my lap, truth is I had forgotten about the small puppy who was full of life as I watched him dream while my heart had been stolen. Fortuni knew my heart was taken by the way I looked at this gay doggi, but it was ok if he was gay cause then I could dress Him up ;) and he would love me more than his dad! But still Fortuni smiled with a look of pride after getting his way-who cared! Not me, my focus was on m new found love, our Rover :)
Truth is, he is hard work. He sleeps in our bed, keeps us up all night, and we wake up to stepping in poo. But hey its ok cause this is what we wanted for so long and he has brought so much happiness to our home just like a Baby would-Our Baby Rover :)
