My sister and I didn’t have pets until I was
about 13. We had a fish tank and some goldfish and when I was in Junior High we
got a toy poodle named Button. Aside from Button, I was very leery of dogs and
honestly didn’t really care for them much. They made me nervous, I wasn't sure I could trust them to not bite and they were
always up in my face licking and smelling parts of me where a dog had no
business being. I became a cat person.
