Pooh lived in a very abusive home until his Mom & Dad (Mel & Dino) adopted him in 1990 when he was two years old. Mel said sometimes he reverts back to when he was mistreated, but he's a good boy most of the time. (NOTE: Nobody in my house likes people who mistreat animals, they're REAL BAD people! We're so happy that he has a good home now.)
Pooh loves to travel, he's been all over with his Mom & Dad. Pooh has arthritis now and is blind, but he's still handsome as you can see by his pictures. He sleeps in his own bed but when he's feeling good he likes to sit on the couch with his Mom & Dad.
My sister, Honey, told me that Pooh is her boyfriend not mine, she said because they have a lot in common. They are about the same age, both have eye and hearing problems, and they're about the same color. That made me kinda mad when she said he's her boyfriend, but I guess that's really okay with me 'cause I already have two boyfriends that I met on the Internet.
Guess what! Mel is making a web page of her crafts, collectibles and friends! Click here to see it. And Pooh now has his own page that he wrote himself, click here to see his page.
One of the things I really admired about Spook was how he let his Dad know when he was gone for too long. If Kevin was away for vacation or something, Spook ripped up everything he could get his paws on. He would get into the stereo cabinet and rip up the CDs just enough so they were ruined. He also used to take all the covers, sheets and pillows off Kevin's bed, and he'd take Kevin's shoes and clothes and scatter them around too.
When Kevin was out of town, his Mom (my Auntie Bonnie) would go over to Spook's house to feed him and play with him for a while. Spook really loved to eat, but the first couple of times Kevin went out of town, Spook would get so upset that he wouldn't eat anything. So, Auntie Bonnie got him plain cheeseburgers from McDonald's or tacos and refried beans from Taco Bell. That made Spook feel a little better because he'd eat when he got his special food.
Spook was sixteen years old when he went to heaven, he'd been with his Dad since he was a three week old pup.
Sweetie is very sensitive to sounds, she's an excellent watch dog, and always barks to let her Mom know when a visitor arrives. For exercise Sweetie runs swiftly the full length of the house, then she leaps upon the highest level of the divan or a chair. She also monitors the bird feeders outside. Sweetie enjoys her dry pellets seasoned with cheese or meat. She has her sleeper nest on her Mom's bed. Lillian says she truly enjoys Sweetie's company. When my Mom found out that Sweetie's very good at following instructions, she told me I should try to be more like Cousin Sweetie and mind her when she tells me to do something. I think Mom's got a lot of nerve to suggest that to me, she knows I don't like being told what to do!!
