Toshie - my beloved water spaniel who died of cancer when I was about 11 years old.

Teeko and Uchie - my two budgies I had as a child.

I also had a little turtle as a child. We came home one day to find that he had escaped his bowl and he was found dead behind the stereo.

Many fishies that I had in my twenties.

OJ & Casper - my sweet kitties whom I feel like I abandoned in 1987. My ex and I split and he promised to look after them. Little did I know that he gave them away. I'm sure they are at the RB by now.

Speckles - passed in December, 2005 at the ripe old age of 18 1/2. Max is my heart kitty but so was Speckles. We had a special bond that differs from the bond that Max and I have.

With Max's failing health, I hope I don't have to come back to this thread anytime soon.
