My Pets

I love my pets! On this page I'll describe them and their special place in my life.We've had our share of animals.One a cat named Hanibal she got her name from a dream I had about cannibals chasing me and eating me.When I awoke she was sitting on me licking me wanting me to get up and feed her.Hense she couldn't be called cannibal because she was a girl..So she became Hanibal.Whenever I wanted her inside I would just run the can opener and she would run in.She loved 9 lives cat food in the can.She would also bite me in the top of my head when I crowed like a rooster.Or the bridge of my nose when I sang in a high tune.
Princess a collie shephard the best dog we could ever have was,a great babysitter.Whenever I would be babysitting my cousin,and had to leave he on the couch,I would get Princess and she would sit right in front of her till I returned.

During my first marriage a rotten one,the mother in law had chickens.When they moved from just up the road from where they lived,the chickens would go back every night to roost in the old place.We had to go back drag them ack every morning.I soon got tired of that.So on particular morning while holding them by the feet two in each hand.Well I started swinging them around and around all the way home.When I let them down they wobbled so much drunk..They could hardly stand up.You know what though they never did go back there to roost again.
Also from the same bunch of chickens we had one rooster of course,but a happy one.We could sit on the porch and watch them and red the rooster would go after the hen mount it and the hen would sqauck we would "yell get her big red"
One particular morning the hen squacked I saw feathers flying and yelled "get her big red"my sister in law said "Big Red hell,that's another chcken".Well I never knew we had homosexual chickens.

I was a good shot with the gun,better in fact than the hubby.So with a sick father in law two small boys to young to shoot and no one else to go to the dog who had treed a animal,they asked me to go.Well I finally spotted what Hobo had treed and shot it and dragged the groundhog back home.To show everyone I had killed it,but to my surprise they said I did'nt need to.When sister in law heard the shot and asked if he guessed I got it,father in law replied if she shot the gun,she killed it.

Name of One Pet Princess she loved everyone.Especially babies.My nephew could stand on her and she didn't care.She got so fat and broad we use to say we could land a 747 on her back.She was indeed a Princess though.she lived a good life.Use to get ou of the fence and get in a mud puddle every day,so that I would have to give her a bath.Even her pal Pieree "pee here and there" a poodle we had he learned to open and shut the chain link fence gate,we know because we caught him in the act.

I had well the hubby had a coupe of hunting dogs.Living in a rural area we hardly locked the door when we stepped out.But this one dog Queenie the best hunter he had,everytime I stepped out,she stepped in.And right into my bed she'd go,dirt or mud and all.Well I got tired of pushing her out the door,whipping her with a newspaer or such.I came in this one day and sure enough there she was.I jerked her out by the scuff of her neck,and threw her off the high porch nearly breaking her fool head.But as she ran away to the barn,I shot after her of course to miss her.I sure got the devil over that one that night,but Queenie never came back inside.You can teach an old dog new tricks.But then agan I didn't want to lock the door.

You'll find out later I do have a way with the guns!

This is Hannibal in the top picture where she loved to sit.
The bottom one is Goober,yep because he reminded me so much of Goober Pyle from the Andy Griffith Show,just about as dumb too.He loved the bathroom sink.One day I heard this noise went to check on it.Well he had knocked over a new box of Ocean Perch Cat food his favorite and was just loving it up!

I don't remember where I got either of them.Both were something else.Hannbal loved to catch the wild things and bring them in and lay them right where I could see them,but she didn't get praised for it.
Another cat I once had before these two was Kelly.Well I had won 2 goldfish from Axion cleaner,if you can rememberthat one.The store keeper told me to get them I would have to swallow another one.Well I guess he felt sorry for me when he saw the look on my face and gave them to me anyway.
I would catch Kelly admiring them and maybe pawing at them in the bowl.One morning I saw him perched beside the bowl ust staring at them.I warned him not to even think about it.I had taken something outside and when I came back in I looked over and my fish were gone!I really didn't like fish all that well,but it made me mad.God I miss that funny cat though!

And some of our pets liked
their own tv shows,and sleep pals.

Well I think I figured out where dogs years are 7x ours.I know a little boy who celbrates a certain dog's birthday every 3 days or so.Of course without the cake though!
