A canary which I accidentally killed by cat. A little cat fell off the mantel piece. It died young by the grace of God and broken neck by dog. The cat caught distemper and took a few steps and died.The cocker spaniel stunk a little but not compared to the dirty white miniature schnauzer. I had big black Labrador stray named Blacky because of its jet black appeal. I brought yellow bird chicks home and they either died or went hopping mad. Penny: the over active white miniature size poodle. I tried to nurse pigeons and squirrels back to heal but the died on my basement floor. The pigeon standing up! Not to mention the hamster Shamus that bit my brothers hand as he was clucking to it. Boy, did that thing go flying. Dam SOB bit me! Oh boy! Did I get incrimination for the uncleaned dog poop on the living room rug while he grows up in a museum!

I had a parakeet - Mr. Chips. Then, a former boyfriend gave me a puppy for Valentines' Day. My dad hated it and after a couple of months, we found a new forever home for him.
Sure, we had a dog that lived outside and a cat that lived inside. The dog was a gem. My grandfather, who lived with us, had a german shepherd that wasn't a gem but a terror. My mother put the dog on a chain and it strangled itself to death. She told us it ran off but a neighbor told us what really happened. The cat was Samantha and at night would zoom from the back door to the living room and straight up the drapes to the top of the window. That cat was crazy.

We always had a dog. (It was a prerequisite my mom insisted on before she would marry my dad)
Butch (my dad's dog when he married mom) Curly (a mutt they got us when Butch died) Lassie (A purebred collie) Fuzzy (one of Lassie's puppies - a border collie) Cinnamon (a Golden retriever/shepherd we got from a box in front of Kmart when Fuzzy got old).
We had a dog, Boris. We had a Budgie. I had some pet white mice. Mom liked them but was allergic, so I gave them to my sister to take to her biology class.
