I'm so sorry about your German shepherd. I have two older dogs, Kaloni and Marlow. Kaloni is a pit bull/beagle and Marlow is a beagle. They are both rescues. Marlow lived the first 7 years of his life in a cage in a laboratory being experimented upon, having God knows what put into his body. He's been with me for the next 7 years and he's a happy, old boy now.
I hope your next pet(s) live long (and prosper!). Same for Sam and Birdie!
Also my friend had a dog named Bird - named after Charlie Parker, the old jazz legend.
I have three kitties! Lolly (Seal Point Ragdoll) she is a diva and kind of a meanie, but I love her anyway.
Nouri (Flame Point Ragdoll) really lovey but only to me, ahaha.
and Sushi (Black and White cutie baby mutt boi) He's my adorable baby and I love him, he sleeps with me every night.
I don't currently have a pet but I'm eventually going to get a dog and name it either Captain or Starlord I think (after my favourite super heroes, lol)
I have a few pets!
Dogs are named Dona, Itzy, Honey, and Sombra.
Reptiles are named Vanya, and Howard.
Birds are named Mango and Banana.
Cat is named Duke.
My two idiots. Grey one is Gracie and black one is Luna. My fiance left a box of rotisserie chicken on the counter yesterday and within 15 seconds they had it on the kitchen floor.
At my aunt's we only have one dog, Wraith. She's a Catahoula. But at my mom's I claim the 5 dogs (Blitz, a lab mix, Cora, a pit, a little mutt named Heineken, a Chihuahua/Corgi mix named Bo, and a fulllbred Chihuahua Cali), two ginger cats, Pumpkin and Blaze, and a goldfish named Nemo
