What are the stories behind everyone's pets?
Heres mine:
Our family dog is Rascal. Shes part German Shephard and part black lab. And shes a jumper. Shes getting a bit old now and has arthritis but she still jumps...off the doorstep, landing several feet away...across our flower beds...onto her dog house. But she did grow out of the habit she iused to have...jumping over her pen fence which is very high! My dad doesn't like pets. When we were young my brother and I begged and begged to get Rascal. At first he was really strict with her, but now she's Dad's baby. She used to spend all her time outside..even on the coldest day of winter. But now Dad has a little corner of the basement set aside for her. He made her a comfy bed and at night he leaves the light on for her...just in case shes scared of the dark.
And then theres Kitty. I have never been a cat lover, but this past spring my boyfriend convinced me that we shoud adopt. Kitty was found on top of a telephone pole somewheres in Welland, Ontario. She was really, really skinny and sick. We estimate that shes a year old. She has short hair thats red, brown and black. We took her home and within hours I fell in love. She is like a baby to me...but unlike real babies, she will never grow up and talk back. The last few months I have been going through some tough times and she has saving me everyday. Kitty is quite the talker and we have conversations every day. We don't understand each other but she answers all my questions and says "hi" when I get home. I don't know what I would do with her.
Well, those are my pet stories. I love to hear everyone elses. And pictures would be nice too.
