I used to be BAD with pets. I took care of them and all, I just had really rotten luck with em. These are the past pets I have had, they died. But it's been a long time since I've had em:
2 Fish: Mikey and Don
6 birds: Roger, Pollyanne, Snowflake, Tweety, Butterscup and Sylvester
2 Gerbils: Scarf and Scarf 2 (original isn't it?
)
1 turtle: Tank (he didn't die actually, he escaped)
Currently the pet and ONLY pet I plan on having is my loving and caring dog, Kinzie:

She's a terrier mix and she has 1 eye. She got hit by a car years ago when in the care of her previous owners, one of em said she looked ugly because her eye was still IN the socket but was biologically dead. So they gave her up.
Our whole family got her at the pound, had the eye removed and had the wound stitched up. It was either that or get a glass eye and that would cost money and we'd have to take it out and clean it. The eye would get infected if it stayed in anyway.
But aside from the one eye, she's the most loving and warm hearted dog I've ever met. She loves chewing up funny slippers like Looney toon ones, she's a begger and a sucker for belly rubs, she also likes to chase ground squirrels and rabbits. We got her when she was 3 and now she's 13.
I suck at math but the point is we've had her a LONG time. Also, you can barely notice she's missing an eye and she works fine without it, she's never liked bumped into walls or anything.
