Mommy Moments: Encounter with Pets and Animals

I have always lived in a house with a pet dog. My mom believes that having a pet inside the house teaches us to be compassionate. All of our dogs stayed with us until their dying years. We have learned to love these dogs as part of the family and have always thought of them as companions and not just pets. The first two pictures show my kid having a grand time with one of the puppies of our six year old dog, Chinkie. Jian is only two years old in those pictures.





Unlike some households that discard their pets once a new baby is about to be born, we are different. We managed to keep our pets even when I gave birth to my son almost seven years ago. I could say that he have been exposed to animals since then. Jian was very fond of one our dog named Luthor (a showtype pit bull) that he cried when the poor dog died of heatstroke. To think that Jian was only four years old then. Too bad, I was not able to get a picture of them together.

Jian also enjoyed our trip to the Manila Ocean Park.

That is a spider crab and he would like us to get one on his birthday.

He wants to ride a horse, but we haven´t had the chance to ride a real horse so he just confined himself with this.


So you think kids and animals don´t mix, think again. Visit more kids enjoying their encounters with animals in Mommy Moments.
