Just a thought!!!!

I don't have any disliking for dogs but at the same time I am not one of those who love dogs. At my parents place we have always had pet dogs mostly Pomeranian but they were not much pain as they have some open space where they could go out for shit. More over I never minded the dogs at my place cos they were always kept as dogs. No offence meant when I say dogs should be kept as dogs as I have seen people spoiling their dogs like anything but they don't have any concern for humans. I really disapprove and don't like dogs being given a kingly treatment as some people give them. Yes I have cried too when my dog died, but no matter what giving dogs a better life that even some humans do not get is what I disapprove of.
When I got married my husband had a German Shepard but unfortunately he died soon. After that for a brief time we had a Labrador too, but I somehow convinced my husband that it’s no sense keeping a pet when we don't have outdoor space. I am not sure what sense it makes feeding the dog with that highly priced Pedigree when majority of babies in India don't even get cerelac or any other baby food. I still remember how my land-lady used to pamper her black Pomeranian. I was really jealous of him on seeing auntie persuading him to eat boiled eggs and milk and that too with her hands and poor me was going to office in a hurry without breakfast. I also know a family who always took their dog out with them and if they didn't have the option of taking him with them, one of the family member would always stay back with it. I just want to make a point that it is ok to keep pets, care for them and love them too. Pets are surely great companions and are loyal but at the same time we should be compassionate towards humans too.
