We had two dogs when I was a baby. I can't remember their names now.
But one of them got run over and we had to give the other one away because he bit me.
Polz (Slovene for snail) the snail. I was 5 and was hiding it in a box for a week before my mom found it. I wasn't very good at name-giving so I called it Snail. We set him free.
Then we had Piki the parakeet. He was really cute and he always sang when we were eating.
Biba the frog. I had them at aunt's who lived in the countryside. She escaped.
We also had a guinea pig called Pepe (Goofy in English), but only for a day because my mom is terryfied of rodents ("They're all rats."), so we had to give him away the next day. The same day, mom gave us all baths and desinfected the whole flat. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Liza the turtle, who we all thought was female but then 'she' got ill and we found out she was a boy. He had an operation because he had a bump on his neck, but he fell into shock and then died.
Brejc the turtle, who was a companion for Liza, and of course, we thought it was a boy but it turned out to be a girl, again when 'he' got sick. Apparently she had something which the vet called 'turtle plague'. It was supposedly happening to a lot of turtles bought in the shops.
Jaka the turtle, who was a boy (for real). We got him to keep company to Brejc, but unfortunately we didn't know Brejc was already sick so Jaka got ill too. He died a while after Brejc. He sort of fell asleep and was almost 'rotting' alive, so we had him put to sleep. The vets said he wouldn't make it. Some people thought we had gone a bit crazy having surgeries, and medicine and treatments for turtles, but I loved them. [img]smile.gif[/img] We even made them small coffins (because they died only a couple of months old) and I buried them behind the building under a tree. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Then I had frog spawn, and I named all of those little thingies. But then they started eating each other so I let them go. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Miskolin the hamster, who died when he was 2 years old. I bought him secretly and kept him hidden from my mom for about 2 weeks. Then my dad convinced her to let me keep him.
At the end she actually started to like him, I think, and I made her hold him a bit.
Lisa the gold-fish. She died because of some weird disease. I still have no clue what happened, but it looked as if her intestines had fallen out of her... weird.
And then there's Niki, my puppy. I put a photo of him on Stealthy's site, so you can see it there.

He's 11 years old now, and he's been feeling well until now. His bones are starting to hurt a bit, so he's taking vitamins and my mom makes sure he sleeps on warm and soft places. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm in Sweden, but he had to stay in Slovenia, so it's a bit hard. I miss him a lot. I still talk to him on the phone though.
I think these are all the pets I've had (put chronologically). I hope I didn't forget any.
