Pets

 I think almost everyone has had pets in their entire life at least once.

It is 2012, I am six years old. We saw a lone parrot outside near our house, looking nervous and afraid. We were afraid a cat may attack him, since there was an abundance of them in the area we lived in. Naturally, we decided to adopt him. He was fully grown, and it was obvious that someone else had previously owned him, since he frequently said "roti de do" meaning " give me roti." We bought a cage that was big enough for him, and even let him out once in a while. We called him Mithhu Miya. He used to start squaking at around 9 am in the morning, much to our annoyance. He later passed away. 

It is 2017. An elderly lady we know just called my mother requesting us to adopt two bunnies. We did some research about them, and decided to adopt them too. She told us that they were female. Uh, well, turns out, one of them was a male. The female, named Innie, later gave birth to five bunnies. There was a point at which we had seven of them hopping around in the house. We soon realised that we would not be able to look after all of them properly, and gave them away to people who would take care of them. Presently, we have Innie, the mother, and one of her children, Isabella.

It is 23rd March, 2018. I am studying for my seventh grade finals. My parents decide to go for a walk after dinner. Much to their surprise, they find a weak, starving puppy on the road, with her mother not in sight. They come back to the house and tell me the situation and take some bread to feed her. When they take it to her, they see that she is too weak to raise her head up and chew the bread. They come back to take some milk for her in a plate. She gobbled it all up. She followed us home. Lo and behold, we had adopted another pet. More accurately, she adopted us.

So there you have it. The story of my pets. Currently we have two rabbits, and a dog. We have the same numbers of pets and humans in our house, btw.
