We always had dogs as I was growing up, and cats (outdoor cats) when we lived on the farms. My family moved around a lot as I was growing up. I can remember a German Shepard named Pepper, when I was about 4 years old. I can remember Smokey, then Rusty, then Sandy, also---all dogs. And I can remember a few cats when I was 8 or 9 years old. I had one that I named "Koolaid" because it drank Koolaid one day that I had spilled. I can also remember a little rabbit that my twin sister and one brother and I named "Bugs" in secret, after our oldest brother named him something else and wouldn't accept our name for him. I can't even remember now what my oldest brother's name for "Bugs" was.

This is a neat thread, remembering pets from our past!
