Pets

The first pet I ever had was a ferret. Yes, a stinky string of fur. Ferrets belong in the category fast, and also weasel. I always had bad allergies while we had Chandler, the ferret. After we got rid of him, we found out I was allergic to him.

My second pet was Justus the dog, he was a boxer. My dad thinks he was the greatest dog in history. Yeah, he was a good dog, but not the greatest dog ever.

Then there came fish. We've had many fish. We've also had a crawdad. For awhile he was fine living in the fish tank. Then, our neon fish started disappearing. Soon, all our fish were disappearing!! We started buying expensive fish, and what do you know those started disappearing too. Then one day we came home and saw half a fish in the crawdads mouth. That was the end of the crawdad.

Then there were the rabbits. My dad and our next door neighbor built a hutch for the bunnies outside between our houses. We shared the bunnies with our friends. There was Thumper, the cutest, Cloe', the hungriest, and last but not least, Duchess, the fastest. The bunnies were so fun. You could pick them up and take them about anywhere. The bad thing about Duchess being fast was that there were woods in our back yard and she was hard to find when she escaped. If you put Thumper down, he would just sit there and wait for you to pick him back up again. Duchess had babies one winter but it was too cold and they didn't survive :( When we left N.C. we had to leave our bunnies with friends. That was sad.


My next pet is still living and she is a boxer too. She is the most spoiled dog in the universe. Her name is Jasmine. In 2004 our dad surprised us when he brought home this cute bundle of fur. Jasmine was the runt of the litter. Today, she is three years old and is only two feet tall. I have to admit, she has the cutest puppy face I've ever seen. Who knows what kind of pet I'll get next time.

Though I'm thinking maybe a duck....
