CHILDHOOD PETS

When you were growing up, did you have any animals? What were their names? Was it important to you to have a pet?

I did have pets throughout my youth. I had 3 dogs, one while in Rio and two while in Tupã. I do not remember the name of the dog in Rio nor the first one in Tupã. She did have many litters. From one of the litters, we kept a male. I named him Lobo (Wolf). As a pup, I had dropped him on his head. From then on, he was not right in his head, so to speak. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of any of them.

Although I am rather timid around dogs, I still would like to have one.
