Short answer: A million things…. and then some more
Semi-long Answer:
A pet is your child from another species.
A child who is forever going to remain a child, remain as cute and adorable for ever.
A child you didn’t birth, but you will definitely mother or father.
They with their big eyes, soft fur and weird ways will find a place in your heart and make it their soft, cozy space. A space that will be the most beautiful among all the spaces.
They will teach you how to love, how to grieve and how to move on, they will teach you to be happy when you are down.
They will teach you to be human, and the irony of that is not lost on me.
