k I'm really gettin sick of this

[arabia4u]

Sorry guys, to use this post as a bit of a blog type thing, but I seriously wanna clobber someone over the head!

I'm getting deathly sick of the way people treat, and talk about my camel, and the way they perceive me just cuz I have her. For having her, I'm a freak, a dork, a geek, someone outside of mainstream society in many people's views. and her? According to most, she's just a camel, and I should get over it. Wrong! Samirah is a part of my life, part of my family, and definitely a part of me! Don't like it? Don't cross my path. That simple. No1 gets into my home that can't respect her, I'll tell ya. Just tonight, someone learned that very importeant lesson. Ya gotta watch the way u talk about my baby girl lollol. Ok ok I pamper, baby and spoil the livin' daylights out of her, but what can I do. I love her, and she has this amazing ability to calm me, on my worst of days. People have said some things about her, things I cant even post here, for the risk of getting banned k? But I'll tell ya this. I'm quick to defend. I don't let Samirah take any kind of verbal abuse at all, of any nature! I'm quick with the defence. Someone actually told me tonight, that the reason he stopped talking to me, was because of my love for Samirah, and the fact that I always say something about her on my msn screen name. O well ok? Having her, is like someone having a cat, or any other kind of domestic animal for that matter. Different to raise her, I realize that, but same bond, same connection, so why do people feel the need to judge her or me for that matter. I stopped caring. it used to upset me, now if people wanna speak ill of her, I block em! Harsh, but very much the reality. Do I love her too much? Perhaps. But ya only live once, and so do we. Her previous owners hurt her, she came from a bad home originally, as did I. I get it. I understand where shes coming from, and I took her out of that. People can say what they want, I wuv my Samira!

Sorry for the rant...I'm just tired of her being treated like she doesn't matter...

It's okay. At least people here understand.

I always feel weird bringing up my camel in casual conversation to people who don't know me. I want to treat him like he's a more commonly kept pet, but if I do that people usually think I'm kidding around. (Like saying "my camel" is a great joke, or something?)

I bought a christmas hat for my camel at the dollar store last month, and the man at the register asked if it were for me, and I just said, "Nah its for my camel, I'm going to use it for my christmas cards."

He thought I was INSANE. I mean people buy those hats for their horses and dogs around christmas all the time, and I didn't want to have to lie and say it was for my horse.

You just have to realize its a culture thing. Camels are just less commonly kept in America, some people just aren't going to get that. They also have a reputation for spitting and being aggressive because the only camels people usually meet are ones that are ill-treated and used for tourists things when they've gone on vacation.

Usually people will ask me, "Why do you WANT a camel?"

Well, why do you want any pet? I still haven't thought of a really great answer to that question, I would never ask someone why they wanted a dog. Ah, silly America.

Thanks. I needed that. Iunderstand too. actually Samira's very sweet and calm. I believe people were born with a gift, some can sing, some dance, some play a musical instrument. I also believe animals were born with gifts, and Samira's is the ability to soothe, comfort, and mend. Yeah, can ya tell I love her? teh...*hugs*
