以寵物角度撰寫,提醒有養寵物念頭的人,必須有哪些心理準備
你準備好可以照顧另一個生命了嗎?
My life likely to last ten to fifteen years.Any separation from you will be painful for me.
Remember that before you buy me.
1. 在你把我帶回家之前,請記得,我的壽命約有10~15年;你的離棄,會是我最大的痛苦。
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
2. 請給我一點時間,讓我了解你對我的要求是什麼。
Place your trust in me--it's crucial to my Well-being.
3. 信賴我─那對我而言非常重要。
Don't be angry for me for long and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your entertainment and your firends.
I have only you.
4. 請別對我生氣太久,也別把我關起來當作是懲罰。你有你的工作、你的娛樂、你的朋友,但你是我的僅有。
Talk to me sometimes.
Even if I don't understand your words.
I understand your voice when it's speaking to me
5. 請偶而對我說說話,縱使我不懂你說的內容,但我聽得懂,那是你的聲音在陪伴我。
Be aware that however you treat me.
I'll never forget it.
6. 你要知道無論你如何對待我,我將永遠不會忘記。
Remerber before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush
the bones of your hand, but that I choose not to bite you.
7. 當你打我時請記得,我其實擁有可以咬碎你手骨的尖銳牙齒,我只是選擇不咬。
Before you scold me for being uncooperative,
please ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Perhaps I'm not getting the right food,
or I've been run in the sun too long or my heart is getting old and weak.
8. 當你因為責罵我的不合作、固執或懶惰之前,請你想想,是否有什麼正困擾者我。
或許我沒獲得我應有的食物,我已經很久沒在溫暖的陽光下奔跑,又或者我的心臟已經太弱及太老。
Take care of me when I get old.
You too,will grow old.
9. 在我年老時請好好照顧我,因為你也是會變老的。
Go with me on difficult journeys.
Never sayIcan't bear to watch it or let it happen in my absent.
Everything is easily for me if you are there.
Remember, I love you.
10. 當我要捱過最辛苦的歷程時,請千萬不要說﹕「我不忍心看他。」或者「讓我不在場時才發生。」
只要有你和我在一起,所有的事都會變得簡單容易接受。
請你永遠不要忘記,我愛你。
與各位共勉之。

看到第十點突然泛淚。
人跟自然真的是很難的課題,
有人看到鍊腳鍊的波爾說好可憐,
但他們可能轉身就去買炸雞排來吃了。
有人可以說貓狗可憐,
但毫不憐憫自己吃的用的那些生物,
選擇性的憐憫啊。
我們盡所能滿足牠們的身心靈也就是了
妳有看過《你保重,我愛你》嗎?灰鸚Alex的故事,當初也是流著淚讀完
去年買花途中發現有一隻特別的鸚鵡,後來知道是灰鸚,就買了這本書來讀了,讀完哭得鼻涕沒辦法停止(而且時值嚴重感冒)。
灰鸚體內都是頑皮的靈魂,咯嘰咯嘰。
頑皮真是適合年輕灰鸚的形容詞XD
