I have pets

While I enjoy living alone in this house with a big garden ( pretty far from the center of Hanoi but the rent is low enough for me to have such luxury), sometimes I feel a bit depressed and less motivated, even to take care of my meal, mind, body and even the house. So the little dog that came to me yesterday has been a miracle. I enjoy his accompany but worried that he would be lonely sometimes. However, two newly hatched chicks were dropped from a motorbike this morning near my house and no one wanted them. I received them from my neighbors and carried them to my house, being worried about how my dog would react, or even eat them. It was amazing to look at how happy he was to see two creatures that he did not know anything about them. The chicks were not afraid of him but running after him. Such a wonderful day to have three wonderful creatures who like each other to come and accompany me. Even fully knowing that I am right to rent a house to live alone while my mom living also alone in an apartment nearby, I feel lucky and happy with that decision. Sharing a house with my mom or someone, it might be so much harder to love and care about these little ones more than just animals to serve us-human for food or guarding our house in the case of the dog. ***

Unfortunately, Choi, my dog had a very short life. one month and three weeks she lived with me, she was suffered from a terrible disease for three weeks. She lost her weight and in great pain that she shitted with blood. I have not recovered after she passed in 4th November.

One of the chicks also died in a rainy day. The remaining attached to me that I hardly was able to do anything. Like a little kid, she needed company and I was the only one there for her. Without having her and experience that, to me she was just a chick we waited for growing big enough to become a delicious food. She'd rather be hungry than losing sight of me. and she became nervous when she could not see me.

I came to a farm to buy two other chicks for her to befriend with. they did not have chicks but ducklings. Anything would be better than having only me and the hyperenergetic puppy, I thought, so I begged in desperate. So the owner promised to keep for me once he had a chance. Maybe in a couple of days. Then, 10 days later, he gave me two chicks for free. My puppy died. I have three chicks left. I tried a kitten but he left. it is sad that kittens and cats have been hunted a lot for food. He would be spoiled if he gave me a chance. Just like these chicks.
