I used to have 7, but one of my dogs passed away about a year ago.
Basically what I'm saying is that I'm abso-fuckin-lutely insane.
Look, I love animals, I wouldn't have so damn many if I didn't; the thing is, they drive me completely insane.
Let me introduce them to you in order of who came first (I'll be including Ellie, even though she passed away, because I want to and no one can stop me).
The "Family" Pets:
Ellie:
(2003-2017)
Responded to: Ellie, Ellie-Bell, Ella-baloo, Ellie Bellie, Elle-Bell, Queen Ellie, Beauty Queen, etc.
Breed: Idk my dudes, some kinda dobie mix (we always thought huskie because she was a fiend for running).
Personality: Grumpy Old Lady
Backstory: My mom adopted Ellie from the Humane Society as a puppy in part for my birthday. She was the first dog we'd had for a very long time and we all loved her like crazy. She'd been dumped on the side of the rode with the rest of her litter and picked up by concerned passers-by. When my mom went to meet and decide which puppy she wanted to adopt, Ellie gave her a tiny lick on the nose and my mom melted.
She was my mom's baby, wholeheartedly devoted from the beginning till the very end.
On her last day with us, she wait for hours for my mom to come home from the grocery store, greeted her at the front gate, then passed away. It was more dramatic than that, unfortunately, but I'd rather not relive that particular moment.
She has her own special garden in our backyard.
Peanut:
(2008-Present)
Responds to: Peanut, Peanut-butter, Nutter Butter, Butter Butt, Nut Butt, Butter Nut, Fatty, Sir Eatsalot, P-Kitty, P-Diddy-Kitty, P-fat, Fat P, etc
Breed: Fatty-I mean Tabby-Cat
Personality: Feed Me
Backstory: Peanut came into our lives out of thin air. Literally. He dropped out of the tree above our driveway and looked at my mother like: "Oh hi, I live here now." We spent a decent amount of time trying to figure out a name for him, it was quite the struggle. Then we caught him licking Peanut-butter off my brother's toaster waffles. Problem solved.
Penny:
(2012-Present)
Responds to: Penny, Pen Pen, Pennypurr, Henny Penny, Hen Pen, Pinny, Spaz Cat, Bitchy Kit, etc.
Breed: Tuxedo (Probaby) Cat
Personality: Flaily Moron
Backstory: Penny came to us fro Kingsville, Texas. She saw my brother in the A&M Kingsville parking lot and thought he looked like a good dad. He kept her in secret in his apartment for a couple days before he could drive home and bring her to us. Initially we were going to bring her to a shelter to find her a new home, but uh...that didn't happen.
Lady:
(2014-Present)
Responds to: Lady, Lady-loo, Lulu, etc
Breed: Fluffy Mutt
Personality: Clingy brat
Backstory: Lady came to us from across the street. Though she always hung around the house across the street, the owners insisted she wasn't theirs. They would kick at her, yell at her, and turn her out all the time. Finally my mom and I got sick of watching it and took her in. She was another pet we'd fully intended to only foster until we found her a good home. Unfortunately my father grew attached to her and insisted we keep her.
I say unfortunately because my Corgi hates her, whereas she is completely head over heels for him (I guess that's what you'd call it). She is all over him 24/7. He can't even take a pee without her being right on top of him. And boy, does she love to fight. She picks and picks and picks at him until he gets angry and snaps and she jumps right into the fray.
She's an adorable doggo, but she really could use some dang manners!
