Animal I Wish I Own?

Today's blogging challenge is to tell about an animal I wish I own. 

I do not want to own any animals. Though I help my sister in taking care of her puppy, as much as possible I do not want to have my own pet. This has been my decision since Gringgo, our dog before, died after fourteen years (I think) of being our pet. 

I think he died in 2000, I can't recall the exact year. He was like a younger brother to me because we had him when I was still a little kid. There was a happy memory when he played with us when he was still a puppy.  He was part of the family for so long so I was really hurt, sad and secretly cried hard when he died. Even if I did not want to cry, I cried. They said that he died because of old age. They said that dog's age is four times the person's age. 

It was really a depressing moment and I realized that time that I can already relate to the song "Buloy" of Parokya ni Edgar. In the song, Buloy is a very encouraging person to his friends but when his dog died Buloy committed suicide. Before Gringgo died, I thought that the reason of Buloy ending his life because of his dog is shallow. It is "just" a dog. But then, when I have experienced it, I was able to understand and know the feeling. But just to clarify I did not consider suicide because I'm afraid of God and I do not want to hurt myself. 

I think I got a little trauma because it was emotionally painful. I tend to be too attached. So to prevent that painful experience I do not want to own any pet at the moment. Maybe in the future but not now.
