I grew up in a house surrounded by a garden and plots. We were a big family and we always had a lot of animals. I don't know if it's the reason why I don't look at the animals as anything out of the ordinary. I don't need to have pets as well as I don't need to live with anyone. I think if I had pets I wouldn't be so free! because I should spend much time at home with them, and I must think about where they would stay when I go on holidays and when I go away at the weekends. I love people much more than animals, I prefere to share my home and my life with people!
(It doesn't mean that I don't like animals, however I'm not rather keen on them like the greater part of the people.)
When I was young I used to have a dog but know I live in apartment, so I don’t have conditions to have one. About three years ago I had a cat living in the apartment, but unfortunately one of my daughters is allergic to the pet’s hair, for that reason I had to give the cat to other person. If my daughter wasn’t allergic to the pet’s hair and if I lived in an house with a big Garden I would like to have a dog, mainly the Labrador Retriever, by its wonderful temperament , intelligence, loyalty and it’s affectionate and brilliant with the children. Now I’m learning to create a water pet, I’ve had an aquarium, of about 100 liters capacity, for about three weeks and I’ve been populating it with different species of plants and fish, this has been a wonderful experience, because almost everything is new, I’m learning a lot, and the aquarium view is becoming very beautiful.
(Paul, I know that animals we treat by “it”, but, if you don’t mind, I prefer to treat by “he/she”. I think they deserve!)
This week subject is very nice.
I love animals. In fact, I think that we are also animals, like dogs, cats and all the other animals. The big difference is that we are intelligent, in a way that we can make complex connections between things, and animals don’t. But, sometimes I think this is not so good for us! For instance, animal don’t hurt their sons, but humans, sometimes, do.
Anyway, once I had a female cat named Mafalda Sofia, when I lived with my parents in a small independent house. She was a stray cat and appeared one day in our house. She stayed there for 14 years. She was all black with green eyes. She was part of the family.
She understood everything and was very smart. Sometimes she was a little bit crafty, like all the cats, but she was very tender and sweet. Some people think that cats are stupid, because they don’t do the things we want them to do, but it’s the way they are: they only do what they want to do. They are also selfish, contrarily to dogs, but if we learn how to deal with them, they are the most wonderful thing in the world. There are a thought about cats that illustrate perfectly them: “If we give food, love and affection to a dog, he think: this man is a God. If we give food, love and affection to a cat, he think: I’m a God”.
Unfortunately, my cat had a cancer and she had to be shoot down precisely in my birthday, some years ago. I became very sad. I cried a lot and, even now, I dream a lot about her.
Cats are my favourite animal, because they are very independent and have a very strong personality. They know exactly what they want. Nowadays I don’t have any pet because I live in apartment, but, if I live in a house, I would like to have a stray cat, like Mafalda Sofia. See you tomorrow!
When I was young, I lived in a small village in Brasil, called Resende. The house where I lived was small but with a big garden. I had some pets: two dogs and rabbits. The dogs were amazing. Every time, when I had been arrived from school, the dogs were in front of the door of the house and played with me. It was a big space where I could play with pets where they could run, jump and play.
After that I have been lived in an apartment. I have never had a pet because in apartments there isn’t enough space. Nevertheless, there are a lot of people that live in an apartment and have pets, but I don’t like pets in small space like apartments.
I don´t like the animals in home either in apartment or in house. When I was child I grew up in a small village with a lot of animals like cat, dog, chickens, rabbits, pig, births various and dukes. At the moment, I´m living in apartment and it´s impossible thinking in animals living together us. The animals dirty all the house and I don’t have patience for clean their garbage. I hate Hair throughout the house and I don´t understand how the people living happy and healthy together the animals. The animals must live in our house but separate of the person. This way is wonderful.
(Sorry Paul, but my last week, was VERY VERY full, without so much time for write in blog! And the subject is so very interesting… I’m writing some “quick” words in my timetable!)
I love pets!! For me, if (in Porto) I live in a house with garden and some more money, my house will be full of pets: cats, dogs, births, fish, exotic animals and so one!!
That moment, I have a couple of cats: Pepsi and Gil, but they don’t live with me in Porto, but yes, with my parents in Mogadouro. Here I don’t have time to give them the attention and love that they need…
When I was a child I had a female dog called LUCY. Lucy had grey pet hair and grey eyes, was very little and very smart. It came to my house with 3 months and soon ite became a very good friend. My parents never let Lucy lived inside home but as we had a big garden I moved to it. One day, Lucy disappeared and I gote ill. I had a urinary infection and I cried all day… When we found Lucy, we took it home and surprise: it was pregnant. Some weeks later, 2 dogs were born but we couldn’t Keep it, so they gone for new families. In 1986, at Christmas, Lucy became seriously injuries: blind, vomit and it didn’t eat anything – it was poisoned. One week later she died. We made a promise – never again had pets… we suffer with them and for them!
When I was a child I used to have a pet, now I don´t have a pet. When I was very young my mother accepted a dog. We called him “Blue” because is hair was blue, he was a stupid dog and disappeared. After "Blue" we had a second dog. I remembered that he wasn´t very friendly. He disappeared too. When I was a teenager I had a canary. I liked him very much, all weekend I opened the window and he started to sing. It was very good feeling the sun enter in the house and listen his song of happiness. The canary became old and died. After the canary we didn’t have more animals.
But this subject remembered me that the sixties was fashion to have a coop in the garden with chickens. I fed them and entered in coop to take off the eggs. This fashion finished in early eighties. Before I was born my brother had a duck.
Now I have stray cats that come into my garden and destroy my flowers and plants with urine and excrements. Sometimes I think which dog I would like to have. It is difficult to select one. As I travel a lot to Lisbon and sometimes we travel abroad, it’s difficult to have a dog. I prefer to have beautiful flowers and play with Tobias a brown boxer (?), my neighbour’s dog.

This week's topic is animals.
Have you got a pet?
Hello,
When I was a child I used to have a pet, now I don´t have a pet.
When I was very young my mother accepted a dog. We called him “Blue” because is hair was blue, he was a stupid dog and disappeared.
After "Blue" we had a second dog. I remembered that he wasn´t very friendly. He disappeared too.
When I was a teenager I had a canary. I liked him very much, all weekend I opened the window and he started to sing. It was very good feeling the sun enter in the house and listen his song of happiness. The canary became old and died. After the canary we didn’t have more animals.
But this subject remembered me that the sixties was fashion to have a coop in the garden with chickens. I fed them and entered in coop to take off the eggs. This fashion finished in early eighties. Before I was born my brother had a duck.
Now I have stray cats that come into my garden and destroy my flowers and plants with urine and excrements.
Sometimes I think which dog I would like to have. It is difficult to select one. As I travel a lot to Lisbon and sometimes we travel abroad, it’s difficult to have a dog. I prefer to have beautiful flowers and play with Tobias a brown boxer (?), my neighbour’s dog.
