What types of pets does everyone have, if any? If you don't have pets, why not? Tell us about your pets, share your stories, the works!
I have 2 cats one dog and 2 horses.
My first cat, Scamp, I brought home from my aunt's farm as a kitten on my 8th birthday (I still remeber holding him in the car!). He's a bit of an old man now, but I am so incredibly attached to that cat! I don't know what I'll do when he 'passes on'.
My second cat...er, kitten I should say, is Sophie. I brought her home about a week ago (without asking my parents first, mind you!). She is my heart and soul right now!
My dog is a black lab. Truth be told, the breeder just dropped him off tonight! He doesn't have a name yet, but I'll be sure to post it the minute I know it! I've always loved dogs ever since I was little, but my mom would never let me have one. She finally broke down and let me have Scamp, only because he doubled as a functional mouse catcher!
Paddy is my first horse. He's more of a partner than a pet really. He saves my butt every day...he is so good to me--by far the favorite of all of my animals. I can't and won't even begin to try and explain how much I love that horse!
Vader is my second horse. He's actually for sale right now, which breaks my heart, but that's the horse business! I bought him as a prospect when he was 6, but as I've had him in training this past year have come to realize that my sport just isn't for him. Unlike dogs and cats, horses are too expensive to keep around just because I love them, so he must move on. He'll be happier with someone who will do with him what he loves though...I'm just happy that I've been taught by good honest horse people who listen to the horse's needs rather than making them do something they hate.
Alright, thats my story and I'm sticking to it! I'm anxious to hear about everyone elses pets!
