Pets....
Sugar was our first dog in my life. I think I was 4 when we got her. She was part cocker spaniel and part pointer. She liked to point at buildings. She was the nicest dog and had a great bark "roof, roof, roo, roo, roo, roof"
There were a number of cats -
Musette - she was all white long haired had a blue eye and a green eye. She died while being spayed...well that was the story, there was also the story that that vet had a white cat with a blue eye and a green eye....
Wally - another all white cat - got hit by a car by one of my mom's friends.
Sonja - another all white cat (my mom liked all white cats) she was mean. My mom tried some cat birth control shots of some sort. She had one kitten behind the couch. We named him Charlie. My sister got toxoplasmosis and they blamed the cat litter - yeah, like she ever went near the cat litter - anyway we had to give away the cats. They both went to live on a farm when she was the house cat and I hear she loved it. She didn't like Sugar at all.
Charlie the poodle was my toy poodle. We got him when I was about 12 because they didn't thing Sugar was going to live much longer - she lived to be 15 years old. Anyway, Charlie was a great dog. Really laid back. I adored him. He also lived to be about 15 years old.
My cats - Petey - I got him at a pet store in Los Arcos mall shortly after I moved to Arizona. They gave me a big discount and told me I had to take him that day or it would be too late. I took him home. He was a great cat most of his life until something happened when I had him boarded at University Vet Hospital on Broadway in Tempe. I got 4 different stories about it and I never knew the truth. He ended up hating everyone in the world except me. He was also about 18 pounds. He was a huge cat. When I would take him out of his carrier at the vet people would go "OH MY GOD!" He was a sweetie to me and I adored him. HE was about 15 when I had to put him to sleep. I still feel bad about that.
Nilla - you all heard about Mr. Nilla. Got him at the shelter. He was my big lap cat until he went insane. I do miss him sometimes, but I had no choice.
Callie Sue Marie - she's my soft ball of fur. I adore her. She has meds three times a day for medical issues, but it seems to be working. She cracks me up.
Boo Boo Ann - She is the funniest cat I have ever seen in my life. She drives me absolutely crazy as she claws my furniture then she bats her eyes and cuddles up with me and I just can't be mean to her. She is as tiny as Petey was big.
Tomorrow Callie and Boo have to go to the vet for their shots. They don't know this yet and I don't plan to tell them until we are in the car on the way
