Before I adopted Chocolate, I had Charly. He lived from 1980 till 1998. (He was 16 and 1/2!!!!!! I was in freaking 1st grade when I got him as a kitten, and I'm 31 now. He was as awesome as Choc is today. He died though, of old age in 98.
That broke my heart bad... he was like my brother growing up.
When I was 13-15 I had 'Emo' the Teddybear Hamster. He lived 3 years (average age for a hambone) and had a female too, they had babies, and I then kept 1, and it was, yep, Emo II. [img]smile.gif[/img] I had another 2 Emo's after that, v3.0 and v4.0.
Charly let them walk on his body or 'ride' on his back when he walked... never wanted to hurt them ever. just wanted them a lot.. heheh... yeah! [img]smile.gif[/img]
I made a little 'village' when I was like 13, for Emo 1, out of dirt and stuff where I used to play with my Transformers lol, and made him a little 'village' to run around in when I let him outside... Called 'Emo Village' . LOL!!!!
That's all the pets I've had.. And currently, Choc is the only pet I have as a family member. BUT... I keep an eye out for Siamese kittens at the SPCAA, so Choc can raise a kitty to be cool and wise and all powerful like he is, to carry on the legacy
