I didn’t have a dog as a kid, but my grandma did and since she lived downstairs and us upstairs, I got to walk Sandy, (her dog) plus play with him and all too. I had turtles (little ones) and a HUGE one called Red….who turned out not to be “he” but a she when a egg was laid (pink mind you) and there was a baby turtle. Red took off a couple years later and so did my buddy behind me, Lucy (her turtle….Eleanor (yeah I know don’t ask) LOL I cried for weeks…..I also had goldfish too but they never lived long so finally just stopped getting them. So lucky to met my hubby, who came with 7 cats and a dog….
