Iv’e owned and taken care of a German Shepherd, Iv’e owned and taken care of a Pomeranian. Iv’e owned and taken care of 3 parakeets, And last but not least... I currently own a baby female ferret ! These are pets that iv’e owned throughout my entire lifetime. Unfortunately, my shepherd grew old and got very ill and passed. My pomeranian on the other hand required a lot of attention especially since he was a baby but at the time, I held 2 jobs and was barely home and I felt like I was being selfish and like I wasn’t providing him with all the care and love that he deserved so I passed him on to a couple that completely fell in love with him & in which the woman was a stay at home female so it was perfect! & In regards to my 3 parakeets, I had to leave them behind when I moved from North Carolina to Florida because of living situations. I just wanted to give a brief explanation on why I don’t own my pets anymore.... which only makes me want to be around animals even more since i now only have CoCo (My ferret).
