What am I thinking right now?…

Amanda on April 10th, 2010

We (I say “we” loosely) are taking care of a fish, not mine a neighbors. And my feelings towards this fish are not loving, or caring, they are barely nice. What does it say about me? My lack of loving feelings towards animals (sorry it goes beyond fish). Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to hurt them or anything creepy, I just don’t like animals. Yuck. Should I explore this feeling? But I don’t want a pet and don’t want to want one. If they didn’t shed, smell, lick, drool, poop, pee, smell your crotch, mess up stuff, or eat. Maybe….. but probably not.

Just what I’m thinking about right now.

Used to think I was at least a dog person. Then we got a puppy….he lasted 8 months and we could take it no longer…gave him to my in laws who love him. Now, not much of a pet person at all. Tried beta fish for my girls because they love animals…killed them with regular water. They lasted a week. It was an accident, but really can’t say I miss them. I’ve got four kids…sometimes that’s as much as an entire zoo. We refer to ourselves as the circus. That’s all:)

That makes me feel so much better! I’m definitely not a dog person. I would like a cat one day, but I think I like the idea of a cat more than I would actually having one. My mom took care of ours growing up. And she lived outside, where I think all animals should be. :) I’ve had a few beta fish before. My last one I got because I wanted to fill my void of wanting a baby. But as soon as we got pregnant I wasn’t so loving toward the fish anymore. Oh well. :)
