Loved or tolerated, furry or scaley, pets provide something special Pets brought a special ele- ment into everyone's lives. Many pets became like family to those who owned them, whether the pet was a dog, cat, bird, fish or even a hamster. Sometimes my dog is the only one I can talk to, said senior Shari Barnard. She's always there for me. Not only could a pet be a friend and someone to love and talk to, but a pet also provided protection. I jog a lot, and it's dark most of the time, so I always feel safer with 'monster' by my side, said senior Cheryl Vidlloughby. And many owned pets just for company, regardless of how unusual the animals were. I've had 'slither' for over a year now. I got a snake because it was something different from just another furry animal, said senior John Richecky. Sometimes I even bring him along in the car if I'm going somewhere. Though most families brought pets into their homes for love 24 People and Pets and affection, some acquired them for beauty. My family has an aquarium full of about 20 or more different and rare fish to just sit in our liv- ing room for the looks, said freshman Alvin Davis. As lovable and cute as some pets were, they also became pet peeves occasionally for their owners. Sometimes he's a royal pain, said junior Sabrina Vargas about her cat. A lot of times I'll be sleeping and he'll jump up and down on my body and meow until I awake and hold him close to me, she said. She's always wanting to play and wrestle, said senior Jennifer Massey. No matter what I'm doing she'll pester me until I give her attentiong she's too much of a pain! VVhether they were loved and treated as an extension of the family, or simply tolerated, pets were irreplaceable to those stu- dents who owned them. CCopy by Mary Jo Aamoldl
