Martinex1: No we are not talking about the Beach Boys today; we are however discussing family pets. Most of the frequent commenters really seemed to be at the height of their collecting during their adolescent and teen years. Those were also the childhood years that my family seemed to have a lot of pets... how about yours?
I had quite a few brothers and sisters and together we had fish, toads, an iguana, a couple of birds, a rabbit, two bulldogs (Prunella and Doc), a German Shorthair Pointer (who was like Houdini and always escaped the house), and a few other pets. It was quite a menagerie but never a zoo.
We had many memorable and funny stories involving those creatures great and small. Share your favorite childhood pet stories (happy and sad) from the Bronze Age.
And as a bonus question, who is the best comic book animal and pet?
