I woke up at 6:30, had a nice cup of tea made with love by my lovely hubby, and a chocolate muffin from Whole Foods.
After I walked the dog and my hubby left for work, I decided that it was time to clean and do some laundry. If I do laundry early in the morning, I will be free in the afternoon.
Then, I decided to rest a little and browse the internet.
I love to read bible scriptures and the news.
Of course, I will always end up reading some articles about dogs, especially since we adopted Hooch. It’s amazing how many things you learn from the internet.
I found the article 'Why we bond with our dog like our baby?’' After I read it
I thought this is absurd.
A few weeks ago, I read about this woman who loved her dog dearly.
I believe she had her dog since he was a puppy.
When she found out she was pregnant, her maternal instinct kicked in.
She was fearful that her dog would harm the baby.
When the baby was born, she said that her feelings towards her dog started to change
to the point that she did not want to have her dog around the baby.
Eventually, she made the decision to give the dog to a new family.
If it’s true that we bond with our dogs like we do with our babies, then she would have kept her dog.
Now I am sure that this lady loved her dog, but she did not bond with him the way she bonded with her child because, by nature, we are made to love our baby more.
I do not blame her for giving the dog away. She was simply being a mother.Sure we are called to love our pets. God created them for our joy, but he called us to be mothers first. He gave us the ability to carry a child for 9 months, the love and emotions, and feeling that comes with the child we are carrying. That is not comparable to anything.
God calls us to have authority of the things on this earth.
Proverbs 12:10 tells us, "A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel."
We are called to love and respect out furry friends but we are called also to love and raise and protect our children. We must be careful in this role.The Bible also indicates that when an animal is a threat to people or other animals, it should be put to death (Exodus 21:28-35).I am blessed today. I have a husband that I love and adore.
I also have a cute pet dog. I love him dearly and I do treat him like a baby.
I am sure that the love I will have for my kids one day will be more than the love I show for my dog.
I hope that I will be able to manage raising my child along with my pet. It’s my desire to teach my kids to love and take care of animals, and to experience the joy of having a pet in the house. But the motherhood instinct will be strong and my kids will come first.
