Thirteen Things about My Pets

1. My first pet was a Siamese cat named Smokey. He was a Blue Point, and a real sweetie.
2. I thought I was a cat person for many years, until I got my first White Shepherd puppy, Max. Then I got Shubi and I was hooked. Although I love cats, I discovered I am a dog person.
3. Max was 8 weeks old when we got him. He was from Tucson, Arizona.
4. He was the sweetest dog until he discovered he was a boy. Then he made me crazy until he went to Doggie Reform School.
5. I thought he just might eat Shubi when we brought her home. She wasn’t even 4 pounds! He was 128!
6. I needn’t have worried. Shubi took control and he adored her.
7. I never planned on getting Shubi. We were visiting our friends in Munich and I casually said we should get puppies together. The next day I owned Shubi!
8. She was the very best animal I ever had.
9. Max died at age 12 1/2 and Fritz came to us two months later.
10. 2 months later Shubi became ill. We were told she wouldn’t live long. So, I started a search for another wire-haired dachshund.
11. Greta arrived a couple of months later, and took control of the house.
12. Shubi passed away two years after the doctors told us she would. She was 10.
13. Looking forward to when Greta has puppies, gives me a lot of comfort.

  1. I won’t write thirteen things about my pets, but I’ll share a few. 1.Smokey was my first pet too. He was a dear sweet kitty.
    2.I’ve had several wonderful cats since then, Woodie, Yoshi, Dusty, were the three that I was really close to. 3.All three were girls, two were seal point Siamese cats and Dusty was a blue point.
    4.I now have two blue point Siamese brothers. 5.Gus is calm and easy going, Sam is shy and nervous. 6.Gus is a big old guy and Sam is smaller.
    7.We can’t have dogs since my hubby is allergic.

  4. Is this your first TT? I think that I am probably the opposite. I was a dog person, but really might be a cat person. I am not sure. It might be because we have big dogs and I am really a small animal person.

    My TT will be up in a little bit.

  5. I spent my childhood being dragged to dog shows because my mother bred and showed dogs. It put me off for many years. Now we have inherited our sons dog to look after because he moved out and couldn’t take him.
    I am still a cat person though LOL. My TT list is up 🙂
