incredibly attached

So I'm having one of those days when my emotions seem to be sitting just right on the surface....

Poncho was asleep in his blankie and had been for about 10 minutes so needless to say he was out cold. I was playing on my phone waiting for my unisom to kick in and I started listening to a song that I've decided is mine and Ponchos mommy/son song. Well of course I uncover his little head (he's still asleep bc its dark) and start singing it to him. I burst into the biggest crocodile tears, sobbing, ugly cry ever. Poncho doesn't open his eyes at all, he just crawls out and does the wiggle under my chin. He kissed my neck one time and wiggled again. He is so smart and so sweet.

I am soo scared of how attached I am. I love him more than life itself. I know that sound crazy to some people but he has saved my life. Before Poncho I was so depressed. He is the reason I wake up every morning. My motivation to fight all of my chronic illnesses. He is my soul. I can't imagine living without him ever again. I had a dachsund that I loved this much for 14 years, when he died it was like losing a child and Poncho filled that empty void in my life. Ok I know y'all think I'm nuts now so I'm going to attempt to sleep. I guess I just needed to vent so id stop crying. Ponchos poor head had a puddle of tears on it.

The song is I won't give up by jason mraz btw...youtube it if you've never heard it. It just reminds me of me saving him and loving him and how far he's come, we've come together.

Some may think me insane for bonding with a chicken, but he was my baby. I still get teary when I look back at the sweet memories of Yuzu. I hope I will get the same bond with Nim. Okay, that was a long story. I'm done now.

It doesn't matter what kind of animal, if you bring one into your life, you will love them as much as they love you. And you are NOT insane!!

Thanks! I like to eat meat. That includes chicken although I don't exactly like it. But I ate hardly any chicken when I had Yuzu. That is another reason why I sometimes think I'm crazy! My sister, (who is a vegetarian) thinks I'm crazy when I speak of loving chickens while I eat them. But I let her think that, I'm not hypocritical, I have a reason why I love animals but still eat them. It is way to long for this thread though.

I know, it's hard to figure that one out. I don't just mean you, I mean all of us. It's because you don't get to know the animal and speaking as someone who eats me too, we are all in denial. I like to think that when I got to the store the meat I buy came from something that never had a heartbeat! It just makes me feel better. Just like teenagers think money grows on trees...same concept.
