More pet talk

In her request, IB asked me about other pets I've had. Well, that's easy, since I haven't really had any. My parents had a dog, a German shepherd named Fuzz, for years before I was born, who died when I was a baby. I like to joke that I'm interchangeable with pets, because they had a dog right up until they got the kid, then as soon as the kid moved out, they got a cat (and gave it my room... no, really, I'm over it).

( Parakeets and stray cats, under the cut... )

Thanks to all of you who have asked me questions or suggested topics to post about (and those who haven't, there's still time!). In fact, there's no time limit, so as long as you keep asking, I'll keep answering. Let's see, coming up I still have ms_scarletibis' question about movies (and if there's time, the bearing of my soul), dragonflylady77's follow-up about my favorite fanfic, and scarlett2u's question about crushes.
