2025 SYW: 10 March — Pets??

Here are my answers to this week’s questions:

1.  Have you ever had a pet that was NOT a dog or a cat?

At one time in my life we had an aquarium with a few different types of fish. I don’t recall which ones though. I think we had a Plecostomus, a type of bottom-dwelling fish that helps keep an aquarium clean and possibly a Corydoras Catfish with possibly a few goldfish. (I’ve never owned a cat).

2.  Did you have pets in the household when you were a child?

We had various tipoff dogs throughout the years while I was growing up. I only remember the collie we had when I was in elementary school and the short-haired Chihuahua-Dachshund Mix we had for years.

3.  Do/did you find pets therapeutic?

While growing up I never considered pets as therapeutic (or even knew of such a thing). My maternal aunt has two emotional support dogs and my daughter had one until we moved and couldn’t bring him (he was epileptic and tended to have seizures that we couldn’t afford his medication).

4.  How old were you when you had your first pet?

I’m not sure how old I was when we got our first dog, a collie. All I remember is we had him before I was in third grade.

Gratitude:

“At the end of the day,
I am thankful that my blessings are bigger than my problems.”
