All life, no matter if we don’t understand it is to be valued

Daily writing prompt
What animals make the best/worst pets?

There are many frustrated ” pet owners” out there. There are many environmentalists and ecologists who puzzle about how best to look after “Nature”. We don’t always understand “Nature ” or ” Life ” as I like to call it, but it is to be respected and nurtured. Not used or taken for granted.

“Nature” is a hard taskmaster and sometimes it will be the “fittest” who survive.

Humans however should have no role in determining this as it’s blatantly clear we do not wholly understand our Universe, and we should leave the cruelty of fate to a World that we neither can control or fully understand.

Perhaps this is not the answer to “owning a pet” that you expected, but it is the truth, you should be in awe that you have been chosen to nurture and care for a life. It is challenging and rewarding and the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

An animal( no matter in the wild or not )is a companion not a pet.

What animals make the best/worst pets?

I don’t have a pet,

I have a companion,

Just a dog,but I’m his minion,

There’s things he knows,

Places he goes,

That I have forgotten long  about

For that he  sighs and  cares but  nout,

I provide him shelter ,warmth and better food,

And for that he promises to be good,

In his little heart though he’s a part of the wild

Even though I treat him like a little child.

He plays his part and does his duty

And rolls on his tummy when I call him cutey,

His friends long past would laugh to see,

Their D.N.A expressed in such frivolity,

There is no such thing as an animal pet,

They are companions and we owe themΒ  such a

debt,

They give us love and trust and care

But their history is wild and we must be aware,

And give them space to think and do,

And live a life just like you.
