No,I don't have any pet but I really love them. My parents don't allow me to buy the pet because they think the pet will make my house be durty. I think in my future I will have a dog and I will call he is Bino
I don't have any pets. I had a dog once, but we sold it. My mother doesn't like animals much so I guess that's one of the reasons. I would like to have a aquarium with fish, but that demands a lot of care and the fish die soon.

There's a very very interesting story ( I'm sure it is!). Well, many of you would like to listen it. Few years back we bought a pair of pigeons from the pet shop and kept them in a cage at home.After some days the female pigeon died and the male left alone.Two or more weeks after she had passed away, In the evening when my mom was washing some clothes , she saw a female pigeon severely injured but trying to fly for her safety from a cruel eagle who was following her. Well! She fell down as the air was blowing very fast. My mother hurriedly went towards her, took her in her hands and came into the room.we all ( me and my siblings) gathered around her wondering what is happening around! My mother bandaged the female pigeon and looked after her for some days.After some days, when she was recovered , my parents put her in the cage where the male pigeon was living. They both, after a while, started quarreling with each other. Looking at the situation my parents took the female out and put her in another cage.But again after some days ,they put her in the cage where the male was living and then surprisingly they didn't quarrel! Then the days passed away.................................and soon after a month there was an egg in the cage. We all were very happy. Then after time passed away there was a baby pigeon coming out of it! Afterwards, they started giving more eggs so we decorated a room in our house for the pigeons. In that room, there lived the pigeons,their children, their grand children and their great grand children! LoL .....................And even the great grand children of their great grand children!......................That room was full of pigeons and the exciting thing is that they made their own houses over there... Not nests! But real houses having shade made of leaves and walls made of sticks and bed made of grass! Ha ha ha ha! Yes! they were our pet once.....they were more than hundred! They were deeply attached with me and my family. We loved them that's the reason I and my siblings cried a lot when we gave them to our uncle! We gave him all of them! I still remember there lovely faces! I don't know if anyone of them is still alive or maybe unfortunately, they are eaten away by someone but I still love and remember them......................This was a real story......my pets' story!
What a lovely story!! I'm impressed…. (only if pigeons were money …Ooops!! Sorry!! )
It's amazing that you remembered their lovely faces!!
My family had parakeets in a quite big cage in the garden. They had a very big family. But one night, a cat attacked the cage and I found some of the baby pigeon dying on the ground next morning…..! It was so sad…
Anyway, it seems that ’After rain comes fair weather’ works for pigeons as well!? ツ
Woohoo!!!!!!! Pigeons=Money! It's lovely to imagine even! LOL......................ha ha ha ha! Well, thanks for commenting. Hmmm...........well it was sad to listen the pathetic story! these experiences just give us the message to love our near and dear ones. As who know??? That when the cruel time comes and take them away from you! HUh! well, that quote was good and works well!
Hi hadia!
You're keenly observant unlike me who can only do a rude sketch…!
You know, we see things differently at first while totally agreeing with the other perspective, with a feeling of awe, for me, at least. So I know we never fail to reach in 'one direction' in the end: We go no further than LOL…………….ha ha ha ha ha! ツツ
I would say 'new direction' rather than ID!…… ha ha ha ha!
PTMM, Hadia!
I think you're totally right Elsa! But you know!!!.........we all have different ideas about a single thing! But, we must appreciate others' ideas and I think it's good to do so because they have something newer that is more interesting, I am sure it is!........talking about you, I'd say that you are an optimistic , a creative and innovative person! You Look the picture in a different way than others. Sometimes I think that you have been bestowed with awesome qualities!~ Because, whenever I read your comments I always have a word in my mind i.e "wow" ; "we can also think like this!! Why didn't it come in my mind huh???" Hm..........You are an awesome person Elsa!
God Bless You! <#
Wow!… I'm blushing! You're more 'wow' than I… wow ×2!!
Thank you, hadia!
Although I'm not always optimist, sometimes I'm bitterly disappointed with myself whose sound is a bit off…. But I can keep smiling if only I have a single person who understands me. Could it be you, hadia?? ツ That'll be the source of my spark!
Let's double or quadruple the size of our 'wow' together!!! What do you think?? ツ
Yep! Let us make it a million times! Hm.....you're really very sweet and kind! And a very good friend........of mine :))))...and I would surely love to be the person you want to have! :*
Thank you, Hadia!
Let’s be just good friends forever sweetie! :* )))))) Pinky swear!
