Do you like pets? Why do you think some of us love pets more than anything? Did you ever have a pet that impacted your life in a big way?

So many pets in my life have impacted me in a good way. They all brought laughter and tears , happiness and sadness, but that’s the price of having a pet. There was Patrick the budgie, Whiskey the cat, Guinea pigs, rabbits, Crazy Crabs and numerous goldfish. But dogs have always been the main pets. Childhood dogs are a distant memory, Jinx the dancing Jack Russell, Tammy the poodle, who was mum to a litter of gorgeous puppies, and Brandy the mixed breed escapologist. Each one took a little piece of that little girl’s heart.
The four individual dogs we’ve had since living in Australia have all been wonderful each in their own way. But Lucy, who died a month ago, was just mine. I had her for my birthday 12 years ago. Before I decided on her as a pup I sat on the floor at the breeders and asked Lucy if she was going to be my friend forever, and when she was dying but could still hear my voice I sat with her again. We looked each other deeply in the eyes and I told her how much I loved her and thanked her for being my best friend.
