Now I know.
Now I know why I need a dog. I need a companion dammit.
I'm the only child and it sucks to be alone. My parents can't entertain me, my hamsters can't really entertain me, my fishes can't entertain me at all. Only the computer can. But well, it really gets boring after a while. I know people with siblings would probably be jealous of me and all that, since I get pampered when I'm the only child. Well, I don't see how I am pampered, other than the fact that my Dad fetches me to school. I'm treated the same as everyone else, whether with siblings or not.
I really don't understand that drive for me to get a dog. I've been sending smses to everyone selling dogs, calling them and asking for details and such. I'm still trying to convince my Mum, I know it's gotta be really tiring to take care of a dog for the whole day for 365 X at least 10 years. That's 3650 days. ;O I have to show the determination to get a dog, I'm really hoping to get one since 8 years ago. Yes, it's that long.
It's really going to be busy for me next year, with all difficult stuff that we're going to study. And if I get accepted into the SMP programme, it's going to be worse. And I'm expected to bring the dog down almost everyday unless I have a very valid reason like I'm dying or something. I don't mind, I really don't. In fact I really find it relaxing to just bring a dog down, walk around, destress and all that.
My parents say I'll get bored of the dog after a while, let's say for a year. Then I'll dump all the work to them, and I'll just play with it. I know it's a risk, but no matter how much I told them I won't, they just won't believe me. I understand the situation, I really have the chance of getting bored of the dog after a while. But you just have to take the risk and try. If you don't try, you'll never be able to own a dog, in your whole life, and then you can go regret when you die. =(
Aiyah.
