Special greetings to you my amazing steemians and lovers of animals.
Animals are a part of God's creation. They've lived and existed right from the time of creation and since then, man have used animals for either entertainment purposes, as food, in agriculture, sports and even in hunting. Animals can be categorized as either wild or domestic.
Thanks @solaymann for proposing this lovely contest about animals.
Do I have any pets at home?
Yes, I have pets at home. Presently, I have two dogs. Dogs has been man's greatest companion. One of the dogs is nicknamed Pablo while the other, Bally. Pablo is always on chain and kept in his cage because of its fierce and scary looking face.
People often ask me why I'm keeping a lion in my house. I always smile and tell them it's just but a dog. It's actually a pitbull. While on the other hand, Bally is a Cavelier King Charles breed. Very lovely and fun to be with. I don't know how this happens but these dogs can perceive my smell or even my voice several distance away.
You dare not try act silly or attack me in their presence. They will always react in retaliation. I so much love these pets that ensure I always get something for them everyday while coming from work. Our bond kept growing stronger wth each passing day
How do I care for pets in my home?
In my home, I ensured that my two pets are given the proper nutrition even while I'm away. I have a personal veterinary Doctor who always recommends their food for me. I don't allow my dogs eat randomly.
I also ensure that I take them regularly to receive their vaccinations against rabies, canine hepatitis and parvovirus and as well conduct a general health check on them frequently.
I also bath and brush my dogs regularly to keep their skin healthy, trim their nails and take them out for exercise.
How do I ensure the safety of my pets in my home?
I ensure the safety of my dogs by providing a good shelter for them, protecting them from the harsh weather, ensure that they get the proper and right vaccine. I don't keep substances or items that are harmful within their reach and I don't allow the roam randomly. I train and groom them not to go beyond their boundaries
Share your opinion to end discrimination against animals.
The fact that these animals cannot express themselves, it doesn't warrant the cruel treatment and discrimination they often receive. These animals feels pains too. Some get traumatized by the act of discrimination against them.
I wished there will be a global law that prohibits discrimination against animals and if anyone is found wanting, there should be great punishment for that.
I'm inviting @goodybest to read through my content and also my amazing friends @vickyson @owalama @ibrahim to also participate in this lovely contest.
