Having grown up in a small town in the South, I knew
unquestionably what it felt like to have a pet to be a companion and to give
the owner lots of love. My sister and I
were continuously allowed to have a pet even though we were only allowed to
have one pet at the time. During those
early years we had no television; therefore, we only had a small radio to help
entertain us. There were many kids in
the neighborhood to play with at times, but we still needed a real
companion. This is when pets became so
important. They were provided to
entertain us as well as give us never ending love. Our pets were not allowed to come in our
house, and this encouraged us to spend more time playing outside allowing us to
get much needed exercise to keep us healthy, keep pets healthy by clicking here. These pets were absolutely precious to
us. We would have been terribly upset if
one of them had wandered away from home and not been located to return
home. The importance of having reliable
ways of locating our animals has always been crucial.
I remember a dog
we had named Skippy. He was a happy dog
and loved us with endearing love. We
were outside playing with Skippy when he found a bone from somewhere. We did not give our dogs small chicken bones
as they could choke on one. All of a
sudden Skippy began choking on the bone.
I panicked, but my sister put her hand in his mouth and pulled the bone
from his throat. Needless to say this
dog loved my sister more than me after this incident. He became very protective of her, keep your

my sister for her good deed to save his life.
My cousin and his family from New Jersey was visiting my grandparents
one summer. My grandparents lived down
the street from us, and we were playing in the yard along with our dog. My cousin was approximately three years of
age. All of a sudden my sister who was younger than me was sitting on a
tricycle when my cousin had a hammer in his hand and was getting ready to hit
her in the head from the back. Skippy
saw this and immediately jumped on my cousin knocking the hammer from his
hand. Everyone was very proud of Skippy
and knew that he possibly saved her life or from a bad injury. My parents were exceedingly happy that Skippy
was our pet. He continued to be with us
faithfully until his death. Skippy was
one of my pets that I always remembered the most throughout the years. Part was because of his heroic action and
part was his love for his entire family. He was a true friend to all of
us. Skippy would have loved for us to
been able to submit and watch funny pet videos here and post cute
pet photos for everyone to see here. Many times when I see people with their pets,
I wonder how many had actually help save a life. Pets help save lives in many ways especially
the elderly. They can prolong their
lives and helps prevent depression. These are the reasons they are welcomed to
visit in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and retirement homes. Please someone help us find a better way to
find our lost pets, like at this website.
