i am so boring!

i have only got fish..and they are not mine..they are my partner's..i prefer dogs and cats, to be honest!
but, we live in a 1st floor flat and there is no chance while we are living here!
but! i grew up with dogs...and cats...
i was 3 years old..when i went with my dad to get Molly our black lab cross...she was beautiful!
we lost her when i was 16...a car hit her..but it was probably a blessing as she was suffering with other stuff! she was about 13..nearly 14!
when i was 17, my mum got another dog..this time...we believe she was a jack russell/ border collie cross...she was white with black patches..a couple on her back and on her head...she looked like she was wearing a mask...and she was a little cutie too!

she was the size of a border collie...so we just called her our overgrown jack russell!
she was actually called Sandy! and a lot of people said, why call a b&w dog Sandy?...well...she was named after my mum...who bought her from Battersea in london..
Sandy died last august..aged 17...her b'day was march 30th..so she would have been 18 by now!
bless her..
we have had cats too..both black and white and both called sammy!
sad, i know..but we were given a kitten from a neighbour, while molly was still alive...they got along with each eventually...molly had a maternal instinct and she tried to look after the kitten..but he just spat and hissed at her for a few days..
when molly died...sammy disappeared two days later..
a year later another cat found our doorstep! he was a stray....and because he was b&w too..we called him sammy2..!
i know it was silly, but hey ho!
he got hit by a car outside the house soon after we moved into it...because we had moved to where there was a main road! it was my dad's idea to go there as it was his mum's house...and she had just died...
so that is it....for now...
sorry.i said it was boring

we will get more pets eventually...because you can't cuddle a fish..!
