Random Pets

As you readers have probably guessed, I can be pretty random. As someone who likes animals, my pets can also be very much like me in nature. I have a dog, a beagle by the name of Cali. She is extremely spoiled, she has a Coach collar. I’ve had friends joke that she is better dressed than they are. She is a gorgeous dog and she actually has green eyes, which I hear is pretty rare for her breed.

I also have a turtle who is over 15 years old. For some odd reason, my parents heard that they eat ground beef; so they decided to give Mr. Turtle some hamburger. This to me, defies anything and everything I’ve ever learned about the circle of life. I can’t imagine that in nature there are turtles who swoop out of the water to scoop up cows… pigs maybe… but definitely not something with udders. In any event Mr. Turtle went insane in his fervor for his new found food source and hasn’t been the same. One day after feeding my parents found him outside of his tank on his back (a four foot drop… not to mention that he somehow got out in the first place). But apparently he survived to see another day and lived to see another hunt.

Some more obscure pets I’ve had would be ducks. One year for Easter I actually had 10 of them, 2 of which were my favorites. Daisy and Quackers were my companions for a while. It was kind of cool to have 2 ducklings follow me around and mimic my movements. Despite the fact that I imagine I looked like a blithering idiot flapping my arms in a field to any passerby, upon closer investigation any bystander would have been able to witness “my babies” attempting to fly. All in all, it was an awesome experience to have ducks.
