What was the name of your very first pet?

[Kitty 34]

I had a kitty named Boots when I was 7. I had a pet bullfrog before that but he only lasted a couple of weeks. Never had a chance to name him.

Godzilla - he was a big black cat

We got a West Highland White Terrier when I was 4. Her name was Muffin.

I had a cat named Jesse. He was named after a farm hand on the farm where we found the kitten.

A collie names Sadie. She was so pretty and the sweetest dog ever.

My first pet was a dog named Scooby Doo.

The first one I remember was a hampster. His name was Herbie. Well... Herbie The Lovebug (first, middle, last name) to be exact. Seem to recall picking him up just after seeing the movie.

I'm told we had cats before that, apparently all named Snoopy, but I don't remember them.

I won a goldfish when I was three and named it Goldie.

My first pet was a cat named Bentley (from the Jeffersons).

My son got his first goldfish at 3 and named them Poopy, Bench and Arch.

Mandy was my first dog, and I loved her so much. After she died I would cry if I heard Barry Manilow's song "Mandy." Twenty years later, it still makes me a little sad.

I had a pet parakeet named Scooby Doo, who my parents swear lived for a year, and then one day just died. I think she had an egg stuck.

We also had a cat named Smurfette...I guess I had a thing for cartoon animals. She lived to be 22!

I had a guppie for a few weeks in 5th grade. Its name was Bubbles. It was leftover from an ecosystem project in school. My partner took the snails home and I got the guppie. I kept him in a jelly jar until he died. He didn't last long; he didn't eat his food, and I also brought him up north (northern NH) when we went for a funeral at the end of November and he spent the 10 degree day in the car. And people wonder why I've never had a real pet

A grey and black tiger cat named Winnie the Pooh! We got her from a friend of my dad's as a kitten when I was 10. She lived 17 1/2 years! Our next door neighbor's cat was Tigger!

Winnie, a golden and white hamster who'd been a former lab animal that my babysitter (who was in college) managed to steal from the lab.

We had a dog named Tippy. I have the cutest picture framed of my brothers and me with me holding Tippy. I was probably 4 or so. The picture really dates me - everything is so 70ish - but it is one of my very favorites!

Murtle the Turtle or Fred the frog, I can't quite remember who was first

Then there was Muffins, my white Rabbit who I had for 8 years.
