Pets

[Grim]

I really like cats better.

Then your avatar should be a lolcat instead?

I've only ever liked dogs, I think they're much warmer and loyal than cats. When I was young we had a lot of puppies go through the household, so I've been told, but I really only remember two that become full-fledged pets. Both of them were askals, Snoopy and Boomer. Snoopy was the older one. As he got older he was chained outside the house. One morning we found he escaped, and we never saw him again. I always figured he got eaten. True story.

Boomer lived to be very old, until he got a bit senile and would bark and snarl at us. My dad put him down to sleep shortly after. He was the first dog to really grow up with me, so I'll always have fond memories.

Our current dog is Cloey, a golden retriever. She's already 8 years old, and she has stage 3 heartworms - we've been told stage 4 is when the dog should be put to sleep already. Out of all the dogs we've owned, she's the one I'm closest too. Maybe because I actually took part in taking care of her, and also because she's always been excited by the presence of people.

I figure when I grow up, I'll get a Doberman. I think they're handsome creatures. Or maybe a Pug.
