飼養前的十句省思


★ 在你 (妳) 把我帶回家之前…請記得我的壽命只有 10 到 15 年；你 (妳) 的 (半途) 離棄，會是我最大的痛苦！

My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that before you buy me.


★ 請給我一點時間，讓我了解你 (妳) 對我的要求是什麼！

Give me time to understand what you want of me.


★ 信賴我！那對我非常重要！

Place your trust in me, it's crucial to my well-being.


★ 請別對我生氣太久，也別把我關起來當作是懲罰！你 (妳) 有你 (妳) 的工作、你 (妳) 的娛樂、你 (妳) 的朋友……但你 (妳) 是我的唯一僅有！

Don't be angry for me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. Youhave your work, your entertainment and your friend. I have only you.


★ 請偶爾對我說說話，縱使我聽不懂你 (妳) 說的內容，但我聽得懂：那是你 (妳) 的聲音在陪伴我！

Talk to me sometimes, even if I don't understand your words. I understand your voice when it's speaking to me.


★ 你 (妳) 要知道，無論你 (妳) 如何對待我，我將永遠不會忘記！

Be aware that whatever you treat me, I'll never forget.


★ 當你 (妳) 打我時…請記得：我其實擁有可以咬碎你 (妳) 手骨的尖銳牙齒，我只是選擇不咬。

Remember 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.


★ 當你 (妳) 責罵我的不合作、固執或懶惰之前…請你 (妳) 想想：是否有什麼正困擾著我？或許，我沒有得到我應有的食物、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…

Before you scold me for being uncooperative, please ask yourself ifsomething might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the rightfood, or I've been running in the sun too long, or my heart is gettingold and weak.


★ 在我年老時…請好好照顧我！因為，你 (妳) 也是會變老的∼

Take care of me when I get old. You too will get old.


★ 當我要捱過最辛苦的歷程時… (註：或許是病痛、或許是即將步入死亡時…) 請千萬不要說：「我不忍心看牠」或者「讓我不在場時…才發生」！只要有你 (妳) 和我在一起，所有的事都會變得簡單容易接受∼請你 (妳) 永遠不要忘記：我愛你 (妳) ！

Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say I can't bear to watch it orlet it happen in my absence. Everything is easier for me if you arethere.
