As my mother always said to me that everyone and everything in our lives are loaned to us for set time.As she explained our children our given to us for short time until around 12 years old when they get their own lives and become their own person in their own right. Before that they are really dependent on us and as they grow they grow away from us to form their own lives. People come and go in our lives so they are loaned to so for certain time. This is just the same with our pets. We do not own them . They are loaned to us so it is precious time we spend with them and have them in our lives.We are privileged to have them loaned to us. So we should always be careful not to helicopter them and think we own them and that if they show favour or love to anyone else other than us as an owner that one should not get jealous and upset about their love for someone else. This is a mistake love can not be watered down by loving someone else. Love just grows and overflows when one loves someone else. Love for your pet is wonderful thing and we should love them enough that if they love another person /or animal that we encourage that relationship and not deny this relationship because the more love a pet gets or gives from many source enriches the pet’s life which in turn will enrich the owner’s life. There is a lot of people in the world who get a pet and when the pet likes someone else the owner gets upset and does everything to try to deter the pet from liking the person .This behavior of owner is not good for the pet and changes the pet and interferes in the growth of the pet causing the pet not to grow to the pet’s potential real personality and damages the pet’s confidence and can lead to unwanted behavioral problems from their pet.So always think beyond yourself with your pet and let your pet be free to love anyone or any animal they choose as this will only enhance their lives for the better.Love is a beautiful thing.
