2025 Monochrome Madness (MM) — Pets (of Family, Friends, Strangers, & Strays)

Elke from pictures imperfect blog is the host for this week’s Monochrome Madness. She has chosen a theme of Pets. I personally do not have any Pets. Most of the places I have lived over the years have not allowed for Pets. My family did have a few different dogs over the years. Unfortunately I do not have any photos of them. The one I remember the most was a Chihuahua Dachshund, that I would walk around our neighborhood.

Now to show you an array of Pets owned by family members, neighbours, strangers, or stray animals.

2025 OWS: Pets in Parks & Greenways

Janet from This, that and the other thing is this week’s host for the One Word Sunday challenge. She has chosen a theme of Pets for this week’s One Word Sunday .

Currently, we do not own any pets, however, Coleman and I see Pets while we are hiking along trails in various Parks and Greenways. Many visitors to Parks and Greenways bring their companions/Pets along with them. Some of the Greenways have Doggie Park sections for the Dogs to enjoy running around and playing with other dogs.

The following are some of the companion Pets we have encountered on our hiking adventures.

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.”
