Thuh Animals

So I was glancing through my earlier posts and realized one huge thing: “Mina” is actually “Ellie,” and I don’t even remember my little brother planning on going with me to pick her up. Obviously he didn’t.

And speaking of pets, my brother just got a new one yesterday. Out of 8 people in the family, we have 7 pets; and not everyone has one, like my middle brother on a mission or my youngest sister. So just for fun, I’ll blog about them.

The first one to join the family was Pockets:

A feisty little thing, she is. She has a dominant personality and destroys EVERYTHING left out for her to reach. So we have to be careful. Many computer cords and cell phone chargers have we had to replace. But she's very sweet when she has nothing to chew. Always the first to greet you and lick your feet.

Next was my Ellie:
Adorable, quiet, shy, and very loving and loyal. Her whole world revolves around me, basically. And our fish. She loves the fish.

Then we had Pebbles join the ranks:She’s Pockets’ little non-blood-related sister. As in they share the same owner. A bit more reserved than Pockets is, she is nonetheless an accomplice in those ruined cords and chargers. But she’s got a very gentle personality and you can easily hurt her feelings if you get angry at her. So get angry and then tell her you still love her, she’ll be just fine.

Milliee is no longer part of the family, but she was briefly, so I thought I’d put a quick little doo-da about her on here, too.She was in heat the entire time we had her, minus about 2 months of her kittenhood. And she liked to stick her tongue out at us. We laughed. One time my computer screensaver hypnotized her to sleep. It was SO funny!

Then we got Daxton:He came fully grown from the shelter and hates the indoors. Except that last night, apparently, my youngest brother (Daxton’s owner) let him in and he fell asleep wrapped in my brother’s arms on the bed. Cutest story ever.

Then Jaden came along:Most tender soul a dog ever had. He cuddles while you watch TV and plays with dogs less than half his size without even hurting them! So sweet. He actually gives hugs when he greets you. It’s adorable.

Then little Taz:

Teeny, tiny little thing, all growed-up. He plays harder with Jaden than with anyone or anything else. He thinks he’s Jaden’s size, I’m pretty sure, and he adores my mom!

And as of yesterday, we got Dozer…we think (it’s not a permanent name yet):

He’s hard to see, because he’s all black. He’s also Jaden’s little non-blood-related brother. When I walked in the door yesterday, he came running up to me, wagging that little tail and so excited to see me as if he’d known me the whole 3 months of his life. It made me to smile. =)

And there you have it. The Whicker Pet Family. Cute, ain’t they?!
