Crunchy questions

Did you have pets when you were born or when you were very young? Did you play with them? Did they look after you in any way? If you have kids and pets now, what is the dynamic?


My mom didn't like pets so it took me until I was 14 to talk her into a dog. Keep in mind my folks had 8 children to feed. We found a German shepherd and we put an ad in the paper. No one came for him. So my dad said, we now have a dog. My dad loved him too. Mom of course hated him. Both my dad and the dog. 😂😂 For whatever reason, he loved my mom.

His name was Shep. My dad named him. We all played with him. He was so happy. He went everywhere with me. He was the best dog. I have kids but not at home. They grew up with dogs. We've had some good ones through the years.

I have a 14 1/2 year old labrdoodle named Dakota. She is a mama’s dog. I can't go anywhere in the house alone. She was abused and latched on to me. She was six months when we got her. I just love her.

I had an outside cat as a kid. My hated neighbor kids poisoned her. Had a few others outside, they didn't live long. Captured a feral Tuxedo when I was 12. She stayed in my life for 19 years before passing. I'll always miss my kitties who passed.
