I have two cats, one dog, one parakeet, and a hamster. The way I got my first cat Toby was in my front door step. His feral mother cat dropped him off before I moved out of the apartment. I nick- named the feral female cat Gypsy. I fed her for three years, after I moved in the apartement. She was really skinny, I felt so sorry for her. I could perceive her fears and her tribulations as she lived feral in the midst of the neighborhood. I wanted to adopt her as well, but she would not allow me to get close to her. She thought about it for a minute, as I was chasing her to grab her. She stood still, knowing I wanted her with me, but instead she ran with her insecurities instead. She watched me pack and move away, I felt awful as I prepared to leave, there was a two week cinnamon tabby sitting on the mat waiting for me to take him, as his mother watched me take him in my arms. It was bittersweet, I took the kitten and we left as she watched me cuddling Toby. My second cat, was also a stray; she lived in a very bad neighborhood. My mother took her in before someone would have the opportunity to hurt her. Her name is Peterpan. She is black and white and she has a small face with big green eyes and long white whiskers. The way I got my dog, was also a similar situation. Winston is a brindle bull mastif-mix. I sometimes call him Houdini, because he runs away all of the time. I recall seeing a briddle dog sniffing around the neighborhood, my daughter was outside pointing at the brindle dog. I have never seen a dog that resembled an hyena, before. He observed us for a while and wagged his tail and licked my daughters face. My daughter played with him for awhile, I was watering the plants and offered him some water as well. To make a short story long, we adopted him. My daughter loves pararkeets and hamsters. So I take care of her pocket pets as well. The parakeet's name is Blue Angel, and the hamster's name is Fuzzy Wuzzy Hampie Doddle Dampy.
