The animal you won't keep as a pet?
Over the past 18 years, my g/f and I have cared for but lost many cats, dogs, a guinea pig, and a fish. All are sorely missed.

We'd like a rat or two, but are not sure how our kitties would react!Growing up we had pet rats. They are so sweet and awesome.
Not at all!For sure...and no snakes allowed in my pet virtual world either
Rats and Mice are cute. Guinea Pigs are great. We had a few when my dd was young. We've had our share of rabbits too.Growing up we had pet rats. They are so sweet and awesome.

It's always painful when you lose your animals and you never forget them. I haven't had a pet fish before, but I'm sure they are mesmerizing to watch.When I lost my Isabella and brought her ashes home, I placed them on a book shelf and to this day, I haven't moved them. I really can't go near it. She was a Pomeranian and the most amazing dog I ever had. I do love my dogs now, but my Isabella was truly unique, really entertaining and very fearless in the swimming pool.
I still remeember fondly (some more than others) all of my dogs, plus other animals like hamsters, gerbils, even a tortoise that I or my family have kept over the years, But the dogs perhaps most fondly and strongest of all.
I still really do miss these two guys, tI and Oscar...

Some we had to give away, which was almost as painful. Snow, a cat who chose our family, we cared for more than 8 years, just walked away when we released him because we weren't sure where we were going to be living. That hurt the most. He just walked away.I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, very heartbreaking losing Snow, and those kind of moments just stay with you and can be rather haunting to your soul.Some we had to give away, which was almost as painful.

I have moments like that too, rather painful to even write about, but I do remember them and wish I could have changed the outcome.A relative cl;aims he saw him earlier this year, still hanging around where we released him. I'm very tempted to see if I can find him....I'm so sorry, very heartbreaking losing Snow, and those kind of moments just stay with you and can be rather haunting to your soul.
Snow was very special. I know he cared for us a great deal. He'd sleep in our bed every night. Even had his own pillow.....
I will stick to dogs. They are not 'Man's Best Friend' for nothing. Especially if you have a cream pot that needs licking out...
hehe Yes of course. Our dog, Pooch, is extremely loyal.
That might be a meaningful journey. I lost a cat many, many years ago, put up signs and three months later a women called me and said she thought she had my cat. She in fact did. That was my black and white cat I named Phantom. I was so amazed to get him back.
Sweet dogs! I know how much you must miss them. I have had dogs in my life I miss a lot too.
