Well...i am not really "animal" lover. I absolutely love dogs and hamsters, but i don't really like cats. In fact, i FEAR them for reason unknown.
I love dogs ever since i was a baby due to my dad and his side of family. My dad is a dog lover as well, in fact, some of my uncle and aunties are too. One of them is a breeder. They breed hunting dog or known to them as Wolf Dog; mixture of dog and wolf from a long time ago, suitable for hunters. The uncle even gave me one of the pups which we name him Brother Mark.
When i was a child, i remember seeing my dad jump into a deep drain to pull out a pup. We kept the pup. The pup, Browny was the first dog in my life, Brother Mark comes second after Browny passed away.
It may sounds weird, but all the dogs love my dad too. No matter how fierce the dogs are, my dad is still manage to soften them and soon have them licking his face or hand. I have yet to see a dog growl at my dad. I am jealous at this ability though....
I also remember seeing my dad going very very near to a dog which had recently gave birth. The female dog made her nest under a slide in the playground. No one dare to go near there because the dog kept growling whenever someone came near she and the pups. However, she allowed my dad to touch her and even picking up the pups for inspection. I really have to say "Wow~" at that. However, someone called the authority to take the dogs away not soon after that.
Since then, i have been trying to be like my dad. I love dogs, but not all dogs like me. I wonder why~
I also love hamster, although not as much as i love dogs. I was a hamster breeder when i was younger. My dad build me a very very very large cage for all the hamsters i had. I no longer have hamsters now because they attract mouse and rats to my house. One of my hamsters even eloped with a mouse. At that time, i had about over 50 hamsters at the same time, i remember having more males than females. I sold some of them to my friends, and some to pet shop at the price of RM 10 for one. However, i was sad when i dad sold my favourite, Mr. Grey too.
Mr. Grey was the first generation of my hamsters. He was the great-great-great-great grand father of the other hamsters. Another first gen of male was Mr. White. However, Mr. White passed away on Deepavali after he sired his first brood of babies. His wife was the one eloped with a mouse.
I have no experince with cat at all, but i remember being bitten and scratched by one. Talk about pain~
I hate fish because they always die on me. I am not fated to keep fish. Two of the fished i had before went suicide. One hit a rock and died. Another foolishly jumped out of the tank and died, plastered to the wall nearby. I hate fish~
I like hedgehog and porcupine, but i do not dare to touch them.
I had chicks before, but i strangled them. I was...3 years old back then. My mom told me so. Even now i feel very sad that i actually murdered two innocent chicks. My mom said i was just trying to put them to sleep...
I had rabbits before too. I can't remember what happened to them....but i remember my neighbour had a barbeque with rabbit meat on her table....
I had birds too, but i "accidently" freed them. I don't like watching them in cage. I prefer watching them flying in the blue sky.
I also had turtle before, but let them go into the lake at centre park because the pool is bigger.
Among the animals i have had before, i still prefer dogs. I love dogs.
