Wednesday Writing Assignment

Luna was cuddled up to me the other day, and I had a flash of myself as a Primate, a Giant Ape, and her as a Feline, a Small Tiger. And I thought, how odd that we should be friends. I tried to think back over the course of Human-Pet History, but I only got as far back as the first pet in my life. (It seems people retain a lifelong preference for the animals their parents allowed: cats, dogs, none.)

Tell me about the first pet in your life. Never had a pet? Tell me why and how you feel about it.
