‘Idál (Justice), 10 Sharaf (Honor) 175 B.E. - Wednesday, January 9, 2019
Tell us about the pet you had for the longest amount of time or the one that made the most significant impact on you. If you have never had a pet (I’m sorry), what pet would you want? I don't have any pets, or my own, at the moment. That doesn't mean I won't have any in the near or far future because I have learned that events, people, and animals in a person's life changes. I don't plan on having any more pets, but that doesn't mean I won't, because I refuse to tempt fate by saying "Never again." Throughout most of my life I've had dog, cats, and both at the same time. I've written several short poem about "Cats I Have Known (19 short poems)" and "Dogs and Cats I Have Known" . There other other poem in my portfolio about the animals that have been in my life. Right now I have two teddy bears (Do Teddy Bears count as pets?) called Christmas and Christmas Eve. Several of my neighbors have dogs, which wag their tails when they see me. "Skeezix" , the dog I remember fondest, was actually my grandparents' dog. His mother, Patsy, was the dog that belonged to my siblings and me. I have fond memories of Patsy, but her son is the dog that made the biggest impression on me. Maybe it was because he would let me hide in his dog house, inside the garage, until Grandpa caught me and stopped me because he though Skeezix had fleas. I don't remember ever getting fleas from Skeezix |
