Oh , I have to agree with Gina, this thread is great reading!!!

Toby's mom, I waited for Cassie's picture to download, as well as all of the others posted here!!!

Karen, that Sheba story was wonderful!!! I sure do hope you post a picture of that dog soon!!!
I wish I didn't start pondering all of the wonderful stories here, The Rats, the Cats, the fish, hamsters, ~~~~~~


I read and read and forgot what the thread was all about when I clicked onto REPLY!! (that is what dial up does to a Pet Talk Addict!!)

I was born into the family when there was already a family dog named , Penny. I was told that she was a short haired Collie, mostly white, with a bit of brown on her head and ears. Is still get a lump in my throat each time I see a photo of that dog!!! Wow, she was my first friend too!!

The very first pet that I was responsible for was a Parrakeet that a neighbor lady gave to me, Cage and all. His name was Rainbow!!! I would hurry home from school so I could stand onto a chair and talk to him.


I can't wait to re-read this thread. It is amazing!!!!!
