They say that anyone who has never had a pet, who has never discovered what it is like to live with a captivating cat or a dog obsessed with asking for a little attention, does not know what the purest and most disinterested love is…
The one who offers himself in exchange for nothing, which does not harbor resentment and who, in silence and through small details, makes his life a more pleasant and authentic scenario.
It is possible that for many people this idea is difficult to understand, especially if we think of interpreting the word family as the union through blood that establishes a certain type of relationship and kinship.
Now, actually that word contains different approaches. Sometimes blood is not enough to “create a family”, because it is the bonds based on reciprocity, meaningful relationships and the authenticity of everyday life that unite us that make us so much need the people and animals around us.
Every positive emotion, wherever it comes from, enriches us and makes us grow. So it’s okay if every day you leave a space on the couch for your pet, along with your partner or your children.
Perhaps people will laugh if you explain that every morning your cat comes to wake you up, or that your dog intuits your sadness before your own father.
They are also part of our emotional lives and, therefore, we welcome them, integrate them and recognize them as an intimate part of our particular DNA. From our family.
When we are adopted by a pet
Have you ever experienced what it means to be adopted by a pet? When an animal comes into our lives, it watches us with shyness and surprise, because the human world is sometimes too complex for it.
When we are adopted by a pet many things that we don’t notice change inside us. They, through their clean, playful and sincere looks, know how to read much more than we think.
– When adopting a pet, we suddenly discover that we are the center of attention of an animal, that it depends on us… and us on them. We love this moment of arriving home and being welcomed with that overflowing joy.
– They need to be integrated into the family as one more member. They like routines, habits and that they are always treated in the same way, without inconsistencies.
– When adoption turns into full integration, everyone changes a little. They become protectors, we are their closest bonds, their references, their afternoon lap for taking a nap.
– They for us are this emotional outlet for each day, our silent confidants, the comfort of sadness and the explosion of moments of laughter and relaxation.
My pet is unique, and I am unique to him.
If there is a rewarding aspect to integrating a dog or cat into our family, it is the feeling that we are the center of their existence. It doesn’t change anything if one day you wake up in a bad mood, or if today the day ended in the worst possible way and you failed in your goals…
Sometimes, loaded as we go with our daily worries, with our haste and responsibilities, we don’t realize how the eyes of our dogs, our cats are on us… And this is something we should do.
They live each moment as fully as possible. Yesterday does not exist and tomorrow is meaningless, they just want to spend a good time with you, always hoping that it will be the best, the most intense, stress-free and happy.
They’re not picky, they’ll never judge you, and they have the subtle ability to get the best of you. When you come home with sadness pasted on your face, they, your pets, your family, know how to melt your grief away.
