what do you guys think about animals? Have you ever gotten attached to a street animal? Like a can that lives in front of your building or a dog who follows you ? Well I have, lots of times, and because no one from my real life friends want to listen to me talk about my dear friends (yes those dogs and cats are my friends) I hope you can listen to me. Okay first I'll tell you about my grandma's dog. His name was Badi (Buddy), and we kept him for so long! I really loved him and he really loved us, it was obvious. BUt then my grandma had to move and we left him behind. I used to miss him and think it was no big deal but now I realized that I left behind my best friend. I left him to fend for himself even though we have been taking care of him ever since he was a baby. We left him in the cruel world and who knows what happened. The moment I realized this I had a breakdown and I'm still not over that. Next is, the cat that lived in front of my building. His name was Zucko (yellow). I've known him since he was a small kitty. He showed up out of nowhere and started living here. He grew up into a cat that everyone loved. Me especially. I thought about him every day, wondering when will I see him, when will I pet him, when will I hug him. He was there everyday, he was there soo much that I never thought the day he would leave me would come. But it did. He disappeared. For the first few days we all thought he just went to find a girlfriend and make some kitties. But then, a month passed. And an old man told us that there's a big possibility that a car ran him over. That was a year ago. And i still miss him. I miss him too much. He was my life. My baby. Next is Riki (Ricky). He was my first parrot. The whole family loved him and he loved us. We were all really happy. BUt... I went on a trip. And when I came back my parents told me he was sick. I BEGGED THEM to take him to the vet but they kept on saying he was gonna get better. He got better, for one day, only to start doing something crazy with his head the next day. I got scared so I took him to the vet myself. THey told me he was gonna be okay as long as he drunk some special vitamins with his water. But Riki didn't want to drink them and also couldn't because he was moving his head around. So... just when I found out how to give him the water and I was about to go home from school. I called my dad to ask him how he is to know that I can fix everything. My dad told me he died that morning. I've never been more sad. I've never cried louder, I still cry about him. I'm crying right now... OKay, now it's Virsla (Sausage). THis is a dog my friend saved 2 years ago. We named her Virsla because she liked sausages. For the next year she kept following us everywhere. I'm sure she would even follow us to mars if she could. But then there showed up this girl that kept on saying she knew Virsla from when she wa slittel and that her name was Moli, when in fact, Virsla is from far away. Now that girl is kinda taking care of Virsla but I'm afraid she's gonna take away my best friend. I'm afraid another one of my best friends will go away. And last is Gaze. He is a dog I met a while ago. He was all alone in the rain and decided that i should be his friend. I told him that and then we named him Gaze. The next time I saw him I went to hug him and he jumped on me. Like crazy and started licking me. THat made me happy because it's the first time it's ever happened. But now he's changed, he isn't the happy carefree dog I knew. I think someone did something to him. He's also really skinny. AND he was gone for a week or two. And when he showed up he was like that...He's still around. I hope I don't lose this best friend. I should also mention Pesi, Pesi 2, Luna, the two grey kitties (one had broken legs and couldn't move them but he was still happy being with me and my friends), Afi, Aki, the four little kitties,Zucko's three kids, ZUcko's other orange kid that I never got to pet, Maza and lots of other sweeties.Some of these I just mentioned are kitties me and my friends used to take care of. I hope someone pays attention to this thread. Please, tell me about your experience with pets and animals, I would love to listen. It's always good to have someone to turn two when others push you away when it comes to this. :)

You should try making your text more readable man. Well since we are talking about animals I'll post my cats one by one. It's a shame I had to leave them to the family since I'm not in Russia anymore.

Hey Kanra, I did have a dog as a little kid he was very protected of me when I was born but hated my brother. I didn't know him very well since I was a baby but he died before I can remember and it was a maltase. Then I had a fish it didn't live very long and died as well he was black and blue so I called him Black eye. I had 3 turtles they were around for awhile but my 3 turtles died when my cousin fed them ham. I cried wanting a mouse b/c I loved rodents and then they got me 2 gerbil one was Princess(Female) and the other was Lorrence(Male) both pure white but Princess had bright red eyes. I used to play with them a lot but then with the wheel I accidentally broke Lorrence back with it unable to realize what I did. Then he died the next day in the morning or at least the time I checked on him again but I was really scared. I used to kill animals as a little kid and remembered so I felt bad that I did it again but I didn't mean to this time but it did happen. I know what I did was wrong so I do regret to hurt something so innocent. It still does scare me this memory but I can't change but myself to avoid it, so far I been ok. I lied to my parents that I killed it and don't know what happened but found the wheel on it. Then they got me 2 other new gerbils a couple of days later Kevin(Male)full gray and Christal(Female)gray and patchy white they were doing pretty fine but I couldn't understand why Princess wanted to hurt Christal so bad and accidentally also got her killed trying to play with them both and trying to make them get along. I was really sad and ran to my parents telling them I was sorry my gerbil died. I didn't know they'll fight and got her killed. Then it was just Kevin and Princess left and it turned out pretty ok then at night when I playing with my brother I heard munching then look towards the tank then I saw the scariest thing I couldn't believe. Kevin was eating Princess face and I pushed him away but he kept coming back to eat her then I picked up princess screaming and crying with her in my hand. I couldn't understand why and what happened, how could this happen. My parents grab the gerbil away from me telling its ok to relax. I couldn't sleep that night feeling terrible. Kevin was a gerbil that liked to play a lot like mazes and didn't run from you to get picked up. Princess was at least a bit of a loner and cranky but she slept with Kevin fine I though they were cute. When I saw Kevin doing that I felt that I was the same and it hurt. I treated Kevin the same as usual like nothing happened he seem the same as well then he finally died on his own living the whole 6yrs. I had him since he was young. I cried that day to feeling alone again without him but he looked very peacefully so I didn't feel so bad but my dad had a long talk about animals and death that they don't live as long as we do but to just be happy they were around to be with you. Then I didn't have a pet for awhile then my mom finally got a dog not too long after I came back from college. She's my baby sister and I been watching over her like a baby deserve to live. She's 3 months about to be 4 and her name is Chula and is a Yorkie. I had plenty of times when animal followed me to go home with me but I was forced to ignore b/c of my parents when I was young. They told me they weren't pets just stranded animals which was a lie. I wish some animal I was able to save to like a seagull with a broken wing, a pegion nest when it was raining and I seen them died since they were by my window. I also wish I was able to take that dog to when he waited for me to finish school but then people started to grab him down, then this little kitten that I at least took inside the building when it was raining but I still couldn't take it home. I didn't know anything I was doing wrong until I met my lover Lau. Lau told me the truth about everything that I could've have done, everything that I was hidden from in the world why people avoided me like they did. I was alone and she couldn't understand why people liked me like they did with my lack or understanding. I told her b/c I gave a fake smile, joked at points and was very willing to a lot of thing good or bad so it was just that simple, just be easy going. My pets were something I had but I wish I could've gave them a better life like I'm doing for Chula now. I'll be moving out though so I'll have to worry about my own pets when I leave but I'll miss her a lot.

This isn't about me, and I don't know if it entirely pertains to the thread, but I recently found out that my neighbor's girlfriend is quite the peculiar girl. She dresses in the punk fashion, which I very much admire. She is sweet, nice, and happens to have a pet rat that carries in her scarf. It just sits in her scarf while she rides her bike, or walks, or sits at the park. I thought this was awesome. It is an amazing quirk about someone that makes them very, very unique.
