    A goldfish that lasted 4 years until I decided to buy him a toy that he got stuck in and died.

    A few turtles.  Most of them bought it too.

    An onion named Schnitzel.

    Parakeets.

    Gerbil

    Dogs (about 5)

    Cat for one week

    Chamelions

    Cleaning the cage was a pain in the neck.  I would much have preferred a dog, but my dad was firmly opposed to that.

    I had a Weimaraner named Gus, and two West Highland White Terriers named Piper and Kerry.   We got Gus when I was 4.   He used to walk me! lol.  I loved that dog.  I loved the other 2 as well but, Gus was my dog.  If the entire family was standing in front of him, he would always seek me out and stand by my side.   Sorry I don't have photos.  My brother grabbed all the family photo albums.

    I've always had ratties. It's a shame they don't live longer, they make great little buddies.

  • We always had cats. There were two cats around when I was born. There's a photo of one of the cats seeing baby me for the first time and looking completely shocked lol. I currently have my own cat now that I live on my own.

    I lived on a farm, so cats were almost always around catching mice and doing their thing. We had one cat named Buttercup, however, who would let mice curl up next to her and sleep. -rolls eyes-

    A collie named Brina (short for Sabrina)

    A turtle that I found in the river and loved with my whole heart :)

    Aaaaaaand goldfish!
