♥ My Beautiful Pets ♥

I loved animals since I was young. My favourite animals are ducks, chickens and goats! I love them because when I was young, we were able to keep them as pet. Many sellers came to streets and used to sell little chicks. They were all really colourful, though back then I didn't know how many harsh chemicals were used to paint those little innocent chicks.

Here you can see the picture:

I used to pick the brightest ones because it felt like they will be the most playful ones. Most of them used to die really quickly, I used to think it was probably me... maybe it was, but I used to take care of them really well. I was kind of scared of them as well because they were so tiny, I felt like they would break really easily. They were really fragile. So soft like cotton balls! We weren't wealthy; we were just another average family. I used to feed them wheat grains. Sometimes I would soak bread in water and they used to enjoy it a lot!

One day when I came home from school, my mum really surprised me! She had bought a duckling for me! I was happy and was over the moon! My mum had bought two of those ducklings but one of them died because he broke his neck... Needless to say, I was happy to see the little guy. I used to play with its beak. The fur was soft and clean. Whenever my uncle used to water the plants and the flowers, the duckling will run around with great happiness! There was a little pond next to a big tree in my house. The duckling used to swim in the pond. He would move his little tail and his little butt! I mostly played with his webbed feet. His webbed feet were so squishy. He would dip his tiny head in the water.

I had him for about two years but we had to move somewhere else so we gave him away to one of our neighbour. When we came back to the same house after a year, we saw the duckling, well more like a sawn walking around. He was so beautiful, he was magical. We didn't take him back as he was with our neighbour now. 

I had a variety of pets. I never had a dog though. I'm really afraid of dogs. I think it's because a neighbour of mine had a dog and when I was really young, the dog tried to bite me. Since then whenever a dog is near me I freak out and anxiety takes over me! I wish I wasn't scared of them because they are so beautiful.

My uncle once bought a snake as well. In some cultures many think that snakes are filthy. They hate snakes or any other reptiles! The snake remained only for one week because soon enough some members of my family got really disturbed and frightened! We also had a rabbit and a goat. Since many religious people believe that rabbit are not animals that should be kept at home because they go on heat (the females) so they are not allowed to keep rabbits as pet. Soon enough, the rabbit was gone as well :'( 

The goat was a little devil! He used to jump around a lot. He was more like a little child, always hyper! My family decided that they will also buy a sheep. The sheep was so lazy. He used to sleep around daily on the grass. The sheep and the goat were best friends! Whenever we used to walk them around the park the goat used to run away from us to get free while the sheep, well he didn't care much, he only wanted to eat FOOD!

Anyhow, I got a lot of memories with my lovely animals. They were like my family. Whenever one of them died, we used to cry a lot... One quick story about a chicken of mine--- I had a green coloured chicken, he was feisty! One day a freaking person stepped on it without knowing it was there! I got really mad and emotional. I cried a lot and I will always remember him. When she stepped on my little chicken, the chicken's intestine came out of its bum. I couldn't watch it as soon enough he died :'( 

Bye for now. Take Care. PEACE :)
