| I have had three pets: two dogs and a turtle. My brothers and I found the turtle in a woods and decided to keep it, we had it about five years or so then let it go again. The first dog was a chow/lab mix named Maggie. She was a lot of fun, pretty high maintanance, but we still liked her. The chow in her never trusted strangers much, so we had her put down when she tore into the leg of a friend of my little brother. I missed her alot.... she was probably put down when I was about fourteen, and I think we had her about two and a half years.
About a year before I moved out my parents got another dog, a high strung Cairn/Westy. She barks enough to wake the dead, but she is so sweet its impossible to stay angry with her.
Lastly, though a theist, I don't think that our pets will accompany anyone into the afterlife.
It is just. |
