Here you will find pictures
and stories of my friends from the animal kingdom!
From the beginning of time man has had a special
place in his heart and life for other species, I'm no different. Over the course
of my life I have had many different and sometimes strange pets. One of the most
different had to be Chuck the Groundhog. As you may know another name for
Groundhogs is Woodchuck. A friend of Daddy's gave him to us. Chuck was an ok pet
until he felt cornered. Then he would come out fighting. I finally had to get
rid of him when he got up into Mother's $2000 couch and made a nest. I've had
Ducks, Donald, Daisy, and Minnie. Well, what can I say there is no other famous
female ducks.
Ok, now for some pictures and
stories....
First off there is Duchess, the Dachshund.
I got her when I was in Jr. High and I had her until I moved out of my parents
house. She loved to lay on the back of the couch and look out the window. She
was a little lush. I remember one time when I had sat a drink down beside my
chair. She drank the whole thing. It was so funny to watch her waddle along. You
must remember that I wasn't supposed to have alcohol in the house. Luckily I
didn't get caught.

Then there was Duchess's friend Tookis. Tookis was a domestic longhair cat. One Halloween I came home and Daddy was in the kitchen and said that there was something outside for me... I went out and found this cute black and white cat. When I brought him in Daddy said that he was just kidding. You see, Mother and Daddy didn't really like cats. Why you may ask? Cats killed birds and both of them loved to watch the birds outside our kitchen window. He told me to get rid of him before Mother came home. Well, I did, sort of. I let him out the kitchen door and then went to the front door and brought him back in. Just before I went to bed he got loose and went into the kitchen and I freaked out. I ran to the kitchen and found him in Daddy's lap. I said, " That cat stays!" I named him Tookis after the Bette Midler line, " Kiss my Tookis and plant a tree for Israel."
