A big hug, parents of this community, I would like to talk a little about pets in children, because recently a new member arrived, to be honest, at first he was not very welcome hahaha.

I start by saying that I love animals, of all kinds, I love from the cutest puppy to a snake with a beautiful skin, in that sense I do not discriminate, the truth for me animals are a beautiful creation, of course, I would not have them all as pets obviously, it's different, but I run into some animal and I am touched hehe. Since I was little I was in contact with animals, since I lived in a field, therefore, for me it is normal, we had 12 to 15 dogs, I remember it well, they were my family and best friends, we played, I taught them to give the paw, to sit and many other tricks, so I'm more team dogs haha.
After some time they all passed away due to old age or strong diseases, because uff I had them since I was 7 years old, until I had my last pet, which I loved with my life, I took him everywhere, unfortunately he died of an illness, I got into debt hospitalizing him and the whole show, from that moment I decided not to have more pets, because I already had Luna and a pet for me is not a game, it is a big responsibility, so I postponed having pets again, until I met my partner and he had his pet Dobby and as a family we included him too, Luna and him little by little fell in love with each other, Dobby always wants to sleep under his bed and gets upset when I try to take him out haha, it looks beautiful when a little animal that was already an adult when he met Luna has developed feelings for her.

Well, at the beginning of December more or less, one morning we woke up to a rather annoying meowing at the door of the house, it was like a meow of demand or help, as if to open the door haha, I wondered and who is this? As if he lived here haha, I was amused by his attitude, anyone would think that he lived with us and we left him outside, but no, he just arrived like that, demanding asylum haha, Luna saw him and like any girl she felt sorry for him or her, she just wanted to protect him and give him affection.
I checked him and he was not hurt, he was just very hungry, the kitten is cute, but honestly I am not team cats as pets, so I just let him stay outside the house to see if then he would look for a place to go by his own will, I did not let him in or anything, well if I gave him some food to stop the meowing hahaha, but I think that was, let's say mistake for the moment, because giving him food only made him stay around there. I arrived at the beginning of December so Luna was already ready to go on vacation, she played a lot outside and without realizing it, the two developed a love that I can not describe, you just have to see them together, they look very cute and tender together.

I didn't know what to do because we really didn't want more pets, we live in a rented house and our space is small, luckily the yard is big, of course, shared with other tenants, anyway, Luna and Pon Pon, that's right, I had already named him, they developed an incredible friendship and it was something new for me, I didn't want to hurt their feelings and I didn't feel any affection for the kitten but more than compassion for being a street animal and alone, what I would feel for any other animal, but I can't go around rescuing animals for the rest of my life, So I didn't know what to do, as I said, having a pet is a responsibility, it must be taken to the vet and it must be properly cared for, my partner and I didn't feel prepared for that at this time, but I wasn't going to throw it out on the street or throw it away, for the moment I just let things take their course, Luna made a little bed for Pon Pon to sleep outside the house, here is where I want to mention the level of love that bloomed in her with the kitten, it was so tender that it broke our hearts to separate them.
With the days seeing them together was beautiful and well, it is here where I came to the conclusion that if you love someone and that someone also loves another living being automatically you begin to accept it, it is like a drop by drop transfer of love that they both have haha, I do not know if I explain, what I mean is that, seeing her love Pon Pon caused me so much tenderness that in the end I ended up accepting the kitten at home, well, outside the house haha, first step by step haha, it was already counted in the food as a member of the family, it only remains to take it to the vet and think about the possibility of sterilizing it because we don't want more pets please hahaha. How have you dealt with this pet issue with your little ones? I already talked with her that we can't have more animals in the house no matter how much we want to, they need many things that we don't have at the moment. For now I introduce you to Pon Pon, Luna's pet, her baby as she calls him.
I know how special a friendship with your pets is, because I also went through that and it is a beautiful love, plus a great emotional support when needed as well as a lot of responsibility, so now there are 5 of us at home.
