Greetings!

Welcome to my blog, 'A Lifetime with pets', which is about exactly that. My four children are all finally reaching the stage in life where they think about spreading their wings, and that has given me some time to reflect back upon the amazing journey that we have come through as a family and I came to the realization that many of our most important stepping stones included some extra family members- our pets.

This blog is intended to be a friendly place where we can all share the stories of our beloved pets and how they have influenced each of us. Follow along as I recount various milestones or tremendous moments that have occurred during the raising of my family, and how our pets were involved in each of them.

It is my firm belief that having so many pets around during the influential part of their childhood has had a tremendous positive development on each of my children. I hope to encourage you with our experiences. Feel free to comment and send me your own stories.

Introducing Mickey Bear

Today I would like to introduce the longest standing member of our family pet circle.



Little Mickey Bear is a 14 ¾ year old toy Pomeranian that was born on September 21 1996. He is an AKC registered Pomeranian and was born to Rambo’s Little Devin & Regal Cassandra of Marbo. He has been with us for his entire life; we took him home when he was just 6 weeks old. He got his name from the fact that when we first got him, he could sit in the palm of our hands and squeaked like a mouse, so we originally named him Mickey for the Disney character Mickey Mouse. When filling out his registration paper we thought about Mickey Estes, but decide that was that was simply too plain for our bundle of joy. So we went Little since he was at the time very little, Mickey since he squeaked like a mouse, Bear for how all of his fur around his face fluffed out to make his face look like that of a bear.
