I used to have a dog named Jack-- had to get rid of him for obvious reasons. Poor Jack is going through separation anxiety.
I had a puppy named Johnny of the same breed.. "Jack Russell Terrier". I used to walk home from work and I saw him living in someone's backyard and he looked so... malnourished. So I asked the owner if I could have him and she gave him to me, AND she gave me 60 dollars for me to take him! (OKAY!) So I took him a bath, and noticed he was bleeding when I would touch him. He had ticks ALLLLLLLLL over his body. Immediately I went back and told the lady if I can keep him in her backyard. I went back there the next day with a tick comb, some shampoo, and I washed him all up and took out all the ticks-- one by one. When I was tick free, I took him home to rehabilitate him because he was very skinny. I found a new owner for him and I heard he became plump and happy! Then he got hit by a car a month later.
I used to have an Iguana named "T-Bone"-- got rid of him too..
I used to have a fish named "Angel"-- poor fish passed on.. I had some other fish too, who had passed on due to fish-neglect.. To this day I still feel guilty. Astufirallah
I had a scorpian... I forgot his name-- Well, see... I was feeding him a mouse, and the mouse and him got into a pretty entertaining fight. Finally they made up, and ended up sleeping together. The next morning, the mouse got hungry and knawed at the scorpians stinger. So the scorpian's stinger became paralyzed and eventually he died. And the mouse... I set him free. He was a true soul-ja
Now.. I want a cat. I love animals. Insha allah I'll be able to adopt a cat from a shelter when I find the means.
