Pets

When I was younger we always had pets. They are such a big part of my childhood memories. I had a cat her name was Purd. I got her when I was 5 as a kitten. She was my best friend in the whole world. She was my sidekick. I know cats are kinda dumb and worthless but not this one. She would sleep on top of my pillow every night. She would wait at the end of the driveway for me to come home late at night. She would follow me wherever I was in the house. If I was in the bathroom I had to let her in too if I went outside I had to let her out. She was so sweet and man did I love that cat. She got sick when I was in college and we had to put her to sleep. My dad came and got her from me and that was the first and only time I have ever seen him cry is when he had to take that cat from me.
I didnt have a picture of Sparta cause I am at work but I thought this one reminded me of her, always wanting to play and always wanting attention, so sweet and unselfish. I bring all this up because I am trying to decide if I think we should get another dog for Sparta. And for me. Of course I havent quite convinced Jake yet... and I think no matter how much convincing I wont get my weener dog. But I love animals and I want more. I thought having a baby would make me not want them but it doesnt. Sorry this blog is kind of stupid but I just thought it'd be fun to share pet memories. If you have them. And the blog is kinda boring lately.
