Your first pet.......

[captainbovine]

mine was a budgie, father had bred them so they were in the house, my sisters was blue, mine was a green one. Skipper his name was. They were great pets, so comical to watch, especially in their bird bath!

what was yours?

[millielilac]

We had 3 budgies ....

One was found in the garden and it had been attacked by sparrows....

The budgie that was kept alone in its own cage did use to " speak " . They were let out to fly around the room . I would never keep a caged bird now ....

I remember there being a cat around. It's name seemed to be.. bloody cat...it was there to keep the mice down.. my Mum didn't do ( and still doesn't) anything furry!

My first  real pet was also a budgie.. bought for me being a good girl when I  had my tonsils out.. his name was Bluey.

[captainbovine]

aaww Bluey.....

our blue one was Pip and my green was Skipper....

how we remember our first pets, and all the other too I guess, you never forget your furry friends.

i remember we had a cat and a budgie sometime when i was little but mostly i remember our dog golden lab retriever called penny was there from when i can recall and died when i was about 12.i also remember she had puppies so mum would put there leads through the washing line so they could run up and down the garden all day without running away

Hamster called Topsy, followed by Topsy Too.

A succession of Hamsters, far too many to name them all but Charlie (female,but I thought she was a he when I got her ),

Patch who had 16 babies and sucessfully reared 15 of them

Freebie my last one, so called because the pet shop forgot to charge me for him

First dog - Guy in 1982 (the year after I got married) and we've had Rough Collies since then.

Mine was a rabbit called Bonnie.

We always had a budgie when I was growing up, I can't remember how many but they were always called Billy & they were always blue .... all except for one when I managed to persuade my Mum to get a Yellow one for a change    I used to spend hours teaching them to talk .... we always had dogs too but funnily enough its the budgies that stick in my mind

[stampingpat]

I can honestly say I don't remember my first pet. I do know that when I was born mom and dad had a dog. And at about age 3 we had a cat that I tried to let into the house and was told off for weeing on the floor. I have always had animals in my life. There have been budgies, canaries, Myna birds, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits. cats, dogs, fish, chickens, I honestly don't recall a time with no animals in my life. Our budgies were Pete and Repeat. 🙂 I remember them having eggs. 🙂 but don't remember babies.

I had a gerbil called Josie and I took her to pet day at school. Someone in the other class trod on her! The teacher thought the best way to break the news was for me to be told in front of the class so they could say sorry! They asked if I wanted the cage back!

A dog and a cat; then a guinea pig, Followed by a few hamsters, tortoises (I love them; they used to be £1, now they sell for at least £150) and budgies and goldfish (they were usually won at the fair.)

[rhubarbcity]

We always had pets, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, budgies, i remember taking my mice for walks, safely tucked in my duffle coat pocket, cows, sheep, overwintering ponies, the only animal we didn't have where goats and tortoises

[wizilizi]

Ours was a cat called Timtom 

One day 2 dogs got into the garden, cornered her outside the kitchen window, & one shook her by the scruff

It was a horrid time

Timtom died of internal injuries.  She didn't look hurt, which is what made it hard for us as small children to accept

[dr-whos-assistant]

We had a border collie when I was born he died when I was about 12, my first pet of my own was a tortoise when I was about 10 he died two years ago after 35 years it was heartbreaking

I have had all sort over the years, hamsters rabbits dogs cats goldfish some had long lives others didn't but all were loved and well cared for. We have a dog now, 2 cats 1 guinea pig a tortoise and a snail, but I won't be adding anymore [I have been saying that for years] .

[ed_blackadder_1]

A collie dog called patch, I remember when I was about 4 and a ginger cat called Marmaduke.

[tintinthegingertomcat]

When I was born my parents had a dog called Penny. When she died Bruno the dog came into our lives.

When I married and moved out of home within a week I got myself a cat called Boots and a hamster called Pippa.  Have had several dogs and cats since then. Tintin being the latest

I think my dad brought a cat back from a farm and we called it Tibbles or something but i think it ran off!!, so i dont really count that. My first real pet was a pedigree Poodle a miniature . I named him Snowy and the day he came i had a Ballroom Dancing competition and did not want to leave him ha ha. He was beautiful but very naughty and we ended up handing him over ( or my parents did) to another family. I was so sad and often think about him. awwwww. We used to go and get him clipped and everything and he had a Blue Jewelled collar!!!. Beautiful Snowy.

Mum got me and my sister a 'small rabbit' each except the guy who sold them must have seen her coming. Sister had a smallish rabbit but 

Skippy, my first pet was a hare!!
