I stole this idea from a friend. Here are a few pets from my past (excuse the poor quality, many photos are about 30+ years old, and since my scanner isn’t hooked up at present, I had to take a digital picture of them).

The only dog I actually remember from my childhood, Prince, a Sheltie. We had another Sheltie prior to him, but I was too young to really remember him. Although Prince was a bit neurotic (my parents got him as an adult), I loved him anyway.

We had a long series of strays that my brother & I picked up, all of them indoor/outdoor cats, all of them mysteriously disappearing eventually.

I even managed to pick up a couple of strays while I was in college. One while I was still living in a dorm room! The eerie thing about Touch is that he/she? (I don’t remember) so closely resembles my first cat I took in as an adult, Puss, which I only realized now looking at his picture.

And then there was Pepe. I don’t remember what happened to Touch. Pepe we got (another stray) while living in an apartment. I graduated, but my three roomates continued to live in the apartment. I hope someone took Pepe home with them.

Me & Cleo
