I was inspired to do this after posting about myself to Gabby.
Of course we love all the petswe've had in the past, but what were the ones that stood out most inyour mind? Who were the ones that bonded to you themost?
I'd have to say for me it's beenmy old parakeet Sticky Bird, and my rabbit Umbra.
Sticky was the first real pet Iever had besides goldfish (which were actually my parents').I swear the way that he and I interacted was beyond the normal boundsof animals and human interaction! I still remember notthinking of getting out of school to watch cartoons in the afternoon,but to go play with Sticky! He was a free-flying parakeet,and pretty much flew to wherever he wanted to in the house.He loved these things: to feed seeds to the parakeet in the mirror, todip his seeds in water first and then eat them, to drink water from thefaucet, to sit on my Uncle Brian's nose, to sit on my Dad's friend'sglasses, to sit on my head and to go under my long hair, to be itchedon the side of his head, and eat Fritos.
Umbra I'm still learning about howto interact with, but I swear nothing was as cute as last night, whenhe actually liked me kissing him on the head! And for once heactually liked me nose-rubbing him! I was so happy!Nor can anything beat watching a happy rabbit binky. I wouldsay more, but I'm gonna make people's eyes pop out of their sockets ifit's any longer!
So anyway, enough about my pets, what about your favorites?!
