Now I am 27 and me and my girlfriend got us a welsh corgi cardigan puppy a few months ago, he is now 6 months old. I knew I would get attached to a dog if I ever got myself one (the one I grew up with was officially my brother's), but even I didn't expect how fiercely protective I would become of him. http://jago.pp.fi/images/Chudo/ChudoDanielRotshcard01.jpg http://jago.pp.fi/images/Chudo/ChudoDanielRotshcard07.jpg http://jago.pp.fi/images/Chudo/ChudoDanielRotshcard08.jpg http://jago.pp.fi/images/Chudo/ChudoDanielRotshcard10.jpg | ||

So we got a golden retriver and he was special for me. First of all being the oldest sibling often means that I never get to decide anything but I was the one who picked him out actually. He was the smallest of the puppies they had and he came up to me and fell asleep in my lap right away. When we decided on a name it was a democratic process but my suggestion, Totti, won. We got him early in the spring and I hardly saw him because both my sisters saw the dog and though "ooooh a doll!". A couple of months later, when it was time for summe break, they had basically lost interest though. I had no job that summer so the dog became my responsibility and we had a blast. He was a lazy puppy so most days we just laid down on the grass outside sleeping, we we're on the same wavelenght. As Totti got older he got sick though. It was just one thing after the other and it turned out he had some illness that was chronic and he was gonna be sick for the rest of his life. Me and my family tried everything, we went to every vet, tried every medicine and every kind of food out there but nothing helped. But he had good periods, and during those periods he was just so full of life. We decided to get another dog, Foppa, to keep Totti company and maybe get him moving again. Now Foppa is the dog with ADHD dog. He brough Totti up a bit and I'll never forget watching them play around in our backyard. Totti running with a huge smile on his face (I had no idea dogs smile, but they do). But since the summer things changed. Totti just wasn't the same dog, he had days where he didnt get up more then to eat. He started smelling really bad and washing him just didnt help. About 1½ months ago the dogs came and stayed with me over the weekend since my parents were going away for a week. I ignored it at the time but deep down I knew this was the last time I was gonna see Totti. He always used to come greet me when I got home. Even if I only was gone for 10 minutes. But now he just laid there on the floor. Looking at me. He didnt have the strenght to get up. He just wagged his tail. One week after that I got a text from my mom saying that they'd most likely have to put him down. I asked her if it was possible to wait until after the weekend just so I could say goodbye but the vet didn't have anymore time before christmas. So they had to do it that same day. He didn't have a long life but he really gave me alot during those years. And now afterwards I think I did say goodbye, the last night he was here he slept in my bed. That's how we first got to know eachother so it was kind of fitting that it ended that way aswell. | ||

Afterwards, I got a plastic doghouse to be used as a makeshift coop for the remaining two chickens to protect them from the imba cat, which worked out quite well for a few years. Unfortunately, one day I had to send my grandmother to the airport for her to return to China after five years of raising me. That made my day suck. When I returned, I found out that I forgot to open up the coop, and I found my brown chicken to be dead of heat exhaustion. That made my day suck even more. Luckily, my remaining black chicken survived after some emergency care. However, on the exact same day, we received a letter from the homeowner's association saying that we couldn't keep poultry in our yard, so we were forced to give away the black chicken to a friend. Considering that I was about to go into middle school in a few weeks, I considered this most blackest of days to be a watershed moment between my elementary and middle school years. A week after this incident, I transitioned into raising two parakeets. TL;DR: In one day, my grandma leaves me, one of my beloved chicken dies, and I am forced to give away my remaining chicken. | ||

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was during the summer; I let my dog Ickis go outside for a piss and to do his normal thing. About fifteen minutes after I opened the back door, I go outside and started to call for him. He never showed up. I went outside and looked around, didn't find him. I looked at the side of my house and to my surprise, the side door of my house was opened. Some one came into my backyard and robbed my dog. Never again did I see him. I still cry about it because he was my most beloved bestfriend. | ||

My mother and father had gotten divorce years after and when Zelda couldn't cooperate with my mother's new pets (two other mastiffs), she sent her away. I was extremely torn that I was stuck with two dogs my mother treasured over my little Zelda who was once a young pup-girl herself. My father hated pets, but treated her well and together they lived a mutual lifestyle where they both exercised despite their age, she slept on tile floors and he slept upstairs: she was not allowed to sleep with him because he absolutely despised it when she'd pee on the carpet (she used to be able to hold it in while my father worked long hours, but due to her age, this was no longer possible). She died sometime last December of 2009. My father hadn't told us (my siblings and I) that she had died until March because he didn't want it to affect our studies. Little did he know that my mother has a large mouth and everyone had known about it months before... except for me. So when we had a family dinner, everyone joked about Zelda, talking about her death like it was old news and I sat there like a dope, only realizing now that she had passed. I've never felt so much hate, sadness and anger in one sitting before. | ||

Its a Labrador Retriver, so it was her expected age, but really? Heart attack? Worst waking up news ever. I'd rather had my useless grandfather dieing that her. FML. | ||
