Random Memory - Losing Lucky

[papayas]

Growing up, my family always had plenty of pets. We always had dogs and sometimes we supplemented with other animals: cats, parakeets, ducks, chickens, fish, turtles, and mice. If I'm asked about a childhood pet of mine, however, I really only think of one

*hugs* Losing a beloved pet is always horrible - especially when you've had it for so many years.

I really want to have pets as soon as possible. My first pet was a cat in Bangkok but I was very little then (around 2) and don't remember much. I was thinking about getting a dog when the second child is 3 or 4, what do you think from your experience? Do you have younger siblings? Nils won't be much help with pets - his family never had any and he really isn't a pet person. Do you think a four- to five-year-old can take up small tasks regarding the care?

Kind of sad, but a cute photo of you when you were little!

I'm really glad that story turned out the way it did... by the way it started and was reading I thought I was going to end up with a wet key board again! (from crying, get your mind out of the gutter).

These dogs... they leave the most important impressions on us... and we can never forget how much unconditional love they gave us!

Thank you for sharing the story and the cute photo!
