1. Willing to Lose Your Precious Sleep at the Sound of a Bark or Meow
It’s usually impossible to drag you out of bed from your dreams. The alarm clock blaring, your parents shouting, or even a strong nudge from your fiery sister all fail to break your stubbornness. But the moment you hear a "woof woof" or "meow meow," you spring out of bed like a spring-loaded toy, rushing downstairs to make sure everything is okay with them, almost like their personal bodyguard.
2. Feeling Extremely Angry When Anyone Criticizes Them
From your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your parents, to relatives, no one is allowed to speak ill of your "little one." You’re ready to argue fiercely and get enraged if anyone dares to criticize or insult your pet. Even though they don’t understand or care much about it, you will never tolerate such harsh words. Insulting them is just like insulting you.
3. Always Buy the Best and Most Expensive Things, Regardless of Whether They Need Them
If the salesperson offers two packages of food with prices of 100,000 and 80,000 VND, you’ll immediately choose the 100,000 VND one without a second thought. Why? Because when it comes to buying for them, the price is no longer a concern for you. You just want to get the best, most beautiful items for them. If you can’t afford it now, you’ll always be determined to come back and buy it next time.
4. Your Phone is Full of Their Photos
Unlike your peers whose photo albums are filled with selfies or pictures of their partners and children, 80% of the photos in your phone are of your furry friends, captured from 1800 angles, with 1800 expressions. Even the silliest or ugliest moments delight you enough to record and save them. Whenever you feel down, just looking through these photos lifts your spirits.
5. You Can Never Bring Yourself to Hit Them
You once thought you could easily lash out at anyone who damaged your 800,000 VND headphones, until "the boss" chewed on them and tangled the cords in their furry little paws. After a day of work, you come home to find your pristine room covered in newspapers and the smell of urine. What do you do? You clean it up, of course. You quietly tidy up while "the master" happily wags their tail, oblivious to your frustration.
6. Clothes Covered in Fur
If you’re a true pet fanatic, there’s no way you’ll ever find a clean outfit that’s free from their fur. Before heading to work, you won't even hesitate to hold them close, even if you're wearing a pristine white suit. It’s fine; you’ll even consider those scattered fur strands a fashion statement. And, of course, you’ll be delighted to spot someone else with a fur-covered outfit, creating an instant bond of mutual understanding.
7. Ready to Lose Your Temper if Anyone Hurts Them
This is beyond discussion. The moment you see them harmed, your emotions instantly flare up. You don’t need to know the reasons why, you just know that everything is wrong, and you rush to comfort and pamper them. After soothing your 'little one,' you begin hunting down the culprit. If it turns out your pet was at fault, you’ll let it slide. If another furry friend is the offender, you’ll confront their owner; and if a human is at fault, prepare for an eruption of fury.
8. Casual Terms of Endearment
To you, calling a dog a 'dog' or a cat a 'cat' is simply not right. They’re never referred to as 'it,' 'Milu,' or 'Kiki,' but rather as 'my dear,' 'little one,' 'boss,' or 'big brother.' It might sound a bit odd, but even you don’t understand why these words just roll off your tongue. Calling them names like 'Mina' or 'Lala' doesn’t quite capture the depth of affection you have for them—they are truly family to you.
9. No matter how much you spend, you never regret it
If you only have 50,000 VND left but still choose to spend 40,000 VND on a bag of food for them, you've truly become a loyal and devoted caretaker. They are so important to you that you'd even cut back on your own personal spending to take care of them. No matter how little you have, if it’s within your budget, you’ll spend it without hesitation. No regrets. No second thoughts.
10. Whenever there's something delicious, you always think of them
You go out to eat with friends at a fantastic pho place and, on your way back, you don’t forget to grab a bag of bones and meat to bring back for them. You’ve officially become a "devoted fan" of those furry companions. Whatever delicious food you enjoy, you want to share it with them, even offering all the tasty bits to the "boss" lounging under the table, while you happily sit down alone with a dry, stale piece of bread...content.
