Ramblings of remembrances of a few of many pets that have made me smile....
Do you have pets?
Do you have memories that will last you forever of the crazy things your pets have done?
Dogs, cats, birds and fish - all crazy wonderful adventures that filled my life with love and lots of laughter!
I was hard at work one day and I get a call from my Mom who asked 'How do I use your camera?'I had a 35mm camera that my Dad gave me - It seems our Blue Cream Persian Precious the Cat jumped on my Dad napping and took a snooze on his chest...I told Mom how to use the camera (point and click) and
2 photos turned out to be classics -
1 both cat and man are sound asleep and the other is a cat with 1 eye open not thrilled to be disturbed by her's and Dad's naps!
We inherited a Mynah Bird and a Moluccan Cockatoo - My Mom's family always had parrots and the like, so they were a welcome addition to our home - each brought crazy personalities- Clara the Cockatoo was the Alpha female - and Joe, the Mynah, enjoyed being second fiddle - and the cat completely ignored them!
Clara would sing, and chat in a sweet voice in Cockatoo and she'd tell jokes only she could understand then start laughing - heeheehee and we'd all join in - She loved being cuddled and even graced us with an egg that I promptly named Eggbert -
Joseph the Mynah was hilarious - He had a wonderful vocabulary that would put children to shame - Mynahs love bells and mirrors, so he had his cage decorated with them and regularly played with them -
They lived full lives where they were spoiled rotten and had as much fun with us as we did with them...
They are gone now - with my Dad in Summerland, or Heaven, or whatever you call it -
Pets are love and we have been blessed with lots of love - if you have read this and remembered your beloved pet, you too know what love a pet can give.

Dogs, cats, fish, birds - can't imagine my life without a menagerie!
Best to you all -

I see you have joined that infamous group on FB too regarding pets: this lovely one called Remebering your Pet >>> http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=18304730856
I would have loved to have one of those 2 lovely birds you had. Mynah's are always so intelligent.

Our memorable one was Bear. A retriver/chow mix. Very smart and very oppinionated, LOL
We had to put him down last year, his picture is featured in my poem 'Saturday'. Then Baily came along, a red Heeler pub, then Starsky & Hutch, two red barn cats... it never ends, and I am glad!
