How it started

     From the beginning we always have had animals. Our mother and uncle where raised around animals and came to love them. They then taught us to love them as well.
     The first animals we ever had where cats. Our mother loved cats so she always had them around. The second animal we had was a dog. my father had always wanted a dog so when I was born (the oldest child) we got a yellow lab named Dixie. The third animal we got was a  fish. Our mother thought it would be the easiest pet to handle with two young children. I (the youngest child) was only five years old when we got a blue beta. Our forth animal was a guinea pig. we begged enough times for her to give in and get us one. The rest she didn't get us till later. Well that's it for now.
