Absolutely, because I never had a pet until I was an adult. Her name was T.C. -- a beautiful gray and white cat who adopted me. She lived to be 18 and slept on my bed with me every night for all those years. I still miss her, even though she has been gone since September 1998. She was so remarkable & special that I will never own another cat.

I had several pets that I only know of because of photos. The first one I actually remember is a cocker spaniel I had in grade school.

Oh yes! I begged my father to let me have a kitten for a year. I finally got a white persian cat named Angel and she lived for 12 years. She was a constant companion and loved to be carried like a baby.

Great question!

My first pet was a miniature collie named Lucky.

A schnauzer named Snotra (Roughly translates to beautiful in Icelandic), she was my baby and followed me everywhere... I was a dork and used to go around the house singing with an open umbrella and a feather boa around my neck (Yea, I'm a dork, I know!) and she'd follow me everywhere and we'd sit for a while and sing and get up and twirl around a while and then sit for a while... as soon as I sat she'd sit, right next to me...

Hi, I found your post at Mercedes World.
My first pet was when I was 5 years old. She was a collie/German shepherd mix. I have a story of her when I took her across the street to the park for a dog show. She won for the most unusual looking dog. I was heartbroken. If you want to read the post, it is at my other blog 4urpets at http://4urpets.wordpress.com/2008/03/19/my-first-dog.

I think our first pet was a little dog named Mitsi. I vaguely recall a picture of her/him tugging on my feet while I was crawling.

I got MY first pet when I walked into a pet store as a kid and fell in love with a Border Collie pup (in England). :) Kerri was my best friend for many years. :)

My first pet was a parakeet named Pretty Boy. He would fly to me when I called his name and sail on my boats in the tub. I was very young when he passed away, but soon after we bought a cockatiel and gave him the same name. We had that Pretty Boy for 22 years!

Have a wonderful weekend :)
