Any pet lovers here?
I know that HayWire adopted some cats and Jake adopted his brother's rabbit, etc.
As for me, my family used to have a Japanese Spitz when I was still really young. Her name was Melody. I wasn't really into dogs then so I didn't play with her at all and I don't even recall her being let out of her cage. My mom eventually took pity on her and just gave her to my grandmother where she could roam freely. She eventually got hit by a tricycle though, since she wasn't very street-smart.
When I was a bit older, my grandfather was given a dachshund puppy as a gift. My uncle named her Nissan, since their previous dachshund was named Datsun (loooong story. maybe for another post.) It was so cute that I asked if I could keep it. I gave her much more attention than Melody, though I now realize that I could have done better. Immaturity, I guess. She died of heartworms.
Fairly recently, my girlfriend gave me two kittens. This time, I really tried to take care of them as best I could. I kept them outside the house because my mom didn't want them shedding fur inside. I let them roam around freely since I didn't have the heart to cage them, though i did try to block routes out of our compound. But being curious kitties, they still found a way and strayed too far one day. I think they got run over.
So yeah, not too lucky with pets. My girlfriend had 12 dogs at one point in time... around 9 right now, I think. I cringe at the thought of living with that many dogs.
I really like cats better.
