Thursday’s Thirteen #8 The Pets we have had...
1. 1965 Pixie was my first dog. She worked with my Dad, a Police Officer. She had to be put down after biting a girl who took her food bowl from her in our backyard.
2. 1972 Tanya was a German Shepherd we had growing up in Vermont. Had to give to her Breeder when we moved to Texas in 1975.
3. 1979 Lucy was a beagle mix I got from the animal shelter. Gave her away when we moved in with parents for a short time in 1981.
4. 1982 Wolf was a mixed breed dog. He was so gentle with our 2 girls. He loved going camping with us. He got loose and got hit by the milkman.
5. 1983 3 Finches we had until Michelle let them out to play with her and they flew away. The cage was hanging on the porch while I was cleaning.
6. 1985 Bear was a mixed breed son of my Dad’s Dog Octavious. Had to be put to sleep 1997 due to medical problems.
7. 1985 – 1992 With the aid of my girls Dad and my Father, we went through 2 rabbits(lasted 3yrs), 2 ducks(after 18 mo. put into pond down the road), chickens(both purchased and hatched in an incubator), several litters of piglets and puppies, hamsters, 2 mean red roosters and numerous stray dogs(we had to take to pound).
8. 1987 Nikki was our favorite of all. A Rottweiler we got at 6wks. I trained her and she was great with the kids and bear. Put down in 1999 when she went deaf and had hip dysplasia.
9. 1988 Betty and Cindy were pigs my dad got the girls. They grew up to be 500 lb. hogs. Both were taken to market.
10. 1989 Quito was a 1/2 wolf 1/2 Malamute pup given to Melissa at 7 from her uncle. He was huge. He got hit by a car in 1990 and had to be put down a month later.
11. 1990 Gold fish from the Fair. A gold and a white one. They grew too big for the 20gal aquarium that we put them in the 15’x3’ pool. Then when the liner tore we took them to a pond down the road in 1992.
12. 1996 My daughter got 2 cats. Samson and Momma Kitty. We moved in town in 1997 and Momma kitty ran away. Samson we had to give away because my new husband was allergic.
13. 2005 A Black Chihuahua Michelle brought us from a patient she had. We tried for 2 months with her but we were just not TINY indoor pet people. She went to a guy I work with.
