I had a thing for P.E.T.S when I was a kid, but since I never got a chance to keep one, now the feeling has all gone. The last memory I can recall was to get a horse in the house, and god knew where I was planning to keep it. And where was I thinking of riding it. This fascination withered since the day I was taken to a Horse-riding class by my school. I was ten then. Little did I know how to get on the saddle and the do’s and don’t when I sat on the horse. I was so excited and the whole charm on riding the horse was increasing till my chance had come. So when I finally got my turn I happily winked at the horse and smiled and expressed how happy I was. The first round around the ground was just perfect when the horse keeper moved along with us and when he asked if I was comfortable and wanted to take a round all by myself. My enthusiasm and thrill was shown right on my face. When I reached half the turn the horse started acting weird and I did what I was strictly not suppose to. I pat on the back of the horse. And with that scream it jumped and I was on the ground. And for the next week I was on a bed rest with my back gone for a toss. I never wanted to keep a horse as a pet again.

Whenever I would go to my relatives or friends I would be so captivated with the love and attachment they would have for their pets. And in the same way they understood everything that their master said. The loyalty and faithfulness is just spellbound. They are tamed so well and become a part of our family in no time. But at the same time when I see goats and pigeons being sold I feel like buying them all and setting them free. The fishes that are kept in the aquarium filled with fresh water. No doubt it would be so happy if it was set free and need not take rounds of that small glass bowl. The other day when I visited the zoo I could see just a single tiger in the cage sleeping peacefully. I am sure it would not be liking the fact that all the visitors keep mocking and commenting at it. The sight made me feel so sad about the loneliness that it would be going through .Certainly, everyone needs some companion. It would be of such a help if we could understand and talk or respond to the animals and get the exact meaning of their sounds. It reminds me of a movie called THE ZOOKEEPER wherein all the animals keep talking to each other and the keeper and how they fight for keeping their zoo forever and not letting other building come up in place of that area.

And somewhere within all social animals the care for their P.E.TS. is unimaginable!!

P.S. it’s also said that the one way conversation that you have with your plants makes their life longer.
