Susie was the first pet that I remember. I got her when I was around ten. My mom had told me that when I was two I had had a puppy. She said I would pull its tail and it would nip me back. Needless, to say it wasn't a good match. Who knew that my next dog would be close to thirty years later? So Susie would have to suffice. She was a small Red-eared slider. Her home was a small clear container with a plastic palm tree in the center. I loved Susie and did my best to care for my tiny turtle. I didn't have her for long, as my mom found out they could carry salmonella. I had to let Susie go at the creek. I guess I learned a lesson about pets that day. As much as you love them one day they will be gone.
