Sometimes it is not easy to give away something that is owned to someone else but a heart that gives feels fulfilled. Rap had owned a pet house with a bus design that he bought at a pet shop in Midvalley. He loves to jump into it and hide or ask to be lifted with him still inside. It comes with an opening at the front, where a windscreen would normally appear. It also has a soft cushion inside. He has been having it for more than a year now and would frequently play with it. He would ask me to bring it down from the top of the cupboard whenever he needs it.
Yesterday we were heading to visit his cousin who owns a shih tzu dog. Rap had an idea. He told me he wants to bring that pet house for the dog. He has seen the dog previously and noticed its cage, water bottle and food. Rap said he wants to give away the pet house so that the dog could sleep in it just in case something bad happens to its current cage. He told me a story that goes this way.
If chinu's house gets blown away by a strong wind, chinu can sleep in this pet house. Chinu won't feel scared. He also told me that chinu would eat anything when I told him chinu eats dog food. Well, rap paid attention to what his cousin brother told him before.
Rap has decided. I have supported him to give it to chinu. He was very excited about giving it to chinu. I reminded rap that once it's given, he can't have it back. He agreed and still stood firm to his decision. He also said he could still see the pet house whenever he visited his cousin. Very well rap. You have a good heart to give away something you really love. I will not stand against your good will.
As we were leaving the house, rap grabbed the pet house, held it over his head and walked to the car. We placed it in the back seat. Once we reached our destination, rap said he will get the pet house. So again he held it over his head and brought the pet house for chinu. His cousins were happy with the gift and excited for chinu to use it. They even put chinu into the pet house. Chinu rolled inside and nibbled on the cushion. It stayed in for a while before walking out. They plan to keep the pet house in the room so chinu could sleep in it during the night. Rap was happy to see chinu in the pet house.
