because i cant think lately, i am starting a new series in which i am copying excerpts from my “listography” book that i started filling out two years ago. here, verbatim, is what i wrote for the pets ive had and their names. if they had names.
“hamstoo” - hamster
“storm” - dog (weimaraner)
“skye” - dog (weimaraner)
“bad legs” - mouse born w/no hips (excellent father tho)
mouse
mouse
mouse
many more mice
“mr. pickles” bonnies iguana
that other mean iguana
a nameless chameleon (the kind with two toes and wobbly eyes)
a cockatiel “burden”
another loud parrot
the other cockatiel “birdette”
lots of fish
scotty had a gecko
“gertrude” the boston terrier

i really only have a few comments on this. firstly, hamstoo was my first (personal) pet ever and i was probably 8 or 7 or 6 and i wrote a really great song about hamstoo on the piano and i remember singing it passionately all the time. maybe someday i will record it and post in on my website here somewhere.

skye was the best dog ever and a great friend. his last day i was working at andrews bakery in easton and i made him an enormous roast beef sandwich with american cheese and mustard and pickles and marbled bread. i also made him a size large lemonade. i left work and sat beside him on the floor with his head in my lap and fed him the entire sandwich and let him drink the entire lemonade. i held him there and fed him the most wonderful meal just before he was taken to be put down. i was eighteen. i loved him very much.

other than that, i guess im not sure why people buy geckos at all because all they do is bite (literally) and you cant handle them without really really really thick leather gloves. forget about intimacy if you are thinking about buying a gecko as a pet. you will not have any sort of intimacy with it unless you like having your lips bitten.

the nameless chameleon pretty much died within a week because it didnt live in the jungle anymore. when things arent where they are supposed to be and they are without the things they are supposed to be with by nature the life is sucked out of them and they die.
