Acknowledging The Pets Of My Childhood, No one should be forgotten Options

[Daisy's Mommy]

When I refer to the dogs of my childhood, I always mention Debbie and Zoe, mother and daughter poodles, but for some reason I have never mentioned Nicole. I have also rarely mentioned Glitter, the cat of my childhood, who had a terrble death. She was jet black, with a little white under her chin.

I want to acknowledge now all these animals that gave so much to our family and whom I loved dearly.


Daisy was the only dog of my adulthood. That is why I call myself Daisy's Mommy here. But, these other animals were my sisters in an unhappy home and am very grateful to them.

Thanks Toonie, I hope you are right. When I was fifteen, I had a handsome orange and white longhair tomcat named Tom. Original, huh Tom was an avid hunter and very territorial. I used to watch him stalk birds and such and he made me think of a lion. I couldn't find him one morning nor when I came home from school. My cousin who was a neighbor also called to me and asked if I were looking for Tom. He had found him. He had been mauled to death by dogs. I took my loved one home in my arms. I set to work building a wooden casket to bury him in. The whole time I was working on it, crying the whole time, my parents yelled at me about all the noise I was making over "just a cat". I was brokenhearted and they were only worried about what the neighbors would think. I finished the casket and laid my Tom to rest in the backyard. I'm glad this has been brought out. These memories have been tucked away deep in my mind. They are mostly painful but needed out.
