It is often said that anyone who has never had a pet, who has never discovered what it is like to live with a captivating cat or a dog obsessed with asking for a little attention, does not know what is the purest and most selfless love?
The one who offers for nothing, the one who has no grudges and who, in silence and in the small details, makes his life a more pleasant and authentic scenario.
- We understand the term pet as a pet that coexists with humans.
- However.
- You could say that this idea goes further: not only does it live together.
- It is an essential part of the family itself.
It is possible that for many people this idea is difficult to understand, especially when thinking of interpreting the word family as the blood union that establishes a specific type of relationship and kinship.
In fact, the word contains different approaches. Sometimes blood is not enough to “form a family” because they are the bonds based on reciprocity, significant relationships and the authenticity of everyday life that unies us, which makes us so in need of the people and animals around us.
Every positive emotion, wherever it comes from, enriches us and makes us grow up, so it doesn’t matter if you leave a small space on the couch every day for your pet, your partner or your children.
Maybe people laugh if you explain that every morning your cat comes to wake you up or that your dog first feels like your own father is sad.
They are also part of our emotional life and are therefore welcomed, integrated and recognized as an intimate part of our private DNA, our family.
Have you experienced what it means to be adopted by a pet?When an animal enters our lives, it looks at us with shyness and surprise, because the world of humans is sometimes too complex for that.
People are fickle, they store moments of anger and moments of happiness, sometimes they practice grudges and what they don’t like today fascinates them, on the other hand, dogs and cats are always the same and expect only one thing: to be loved.
When we are adopted by a pet, many things we don’t notice change inside. They, because of their clean, playful and sincere appearance, know how to read many more things than we think.
? By adopting a pet, we suddenly discover that we are the center of an animal’s attention, who is up to us?and us of them. We love this moment to come home and be greeted with this overwhelming joy.
? They should integrate into the family as one more member, like routines, habits and are always treated the same way, without inconsistency.
? When adoption becomes a complete integration, everyone changes a little, they become protectors, we are their closest links, their references, their evening knees to take a nap.
? They are for us this emotional escape valve of the day to day, our silent confidants, the comfort of sadness and the explosion of moments of laughter and relaxation.
When we are adopted by a pet, our family grows and our hearts are strengthened, caring for them will be essential, but loving them is the best privilege.
If there’s a rewarding aspect when it comes to integrating a dog or cat into our family, is the feeling that we’re at the center of their existence, doesn’t it change if one day you wake up in a bad mood, or if today?ended in the worst way and has failed in its goals?
For them, for our animals, we are always the same, no matter what happens, no matter what your mistakes, your distractions, your appearance and much less your past, they live in the present moment and can only prove that you are someone who deserves to be loved.
Sometimes, overwhelmed by our daily worries, rush and responsibilities, do we not realize how much our dogs, our cats look at us ?, and that is something we must do.
They live every moment as fully as possible. Yesterday doesn’t exist and tomorrow doesn’t make sense, they just want to have a good time with you, always hoping it’ll be the best, the most intense, the least stressed and the happiest.
They’re not demanding, they’ll never judge you and have the subtle ability to get the most out of you. When you go home with sadness stuck in your face, they, your pets, your family, know how to ease your pain. in the instant.
They always accept a hug, a hug and a kind word, they let themselves be loved until you do the same, they are faithful creatures that make our daily life an adventure of anecdotes, beautiful moments that will always sleep on the best side of your life. Heart.
