Through the middle of December, there will be a series of journal prompts regarding your life now and as a child. These prompts are about your life today.
Here are a few questions to get you thinking about you and your experiences. This is your history and writings of your individual experiences.
Did you have a pet as a child? If so, what was it?
Who took care of it?
Did you experience the death of a pet? If so, how did you handle it?
Was there a pet you really wanted, but couldn’t?
We only had a very short amount of time that we had a dog when I was a child, my parents were afraid that a dog could get loose and hurt a neighbor’s animals. We had a barn cat named Mama Kitty and we had cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, and ducks. These were our first cows, the black one was afraid of my dad and tried charging him while he was sitting on the tractor. After these we had a black and white (possibly a Holstein) that we called “Annabelle” who we really felt was a pet. My dad even called to cancel the butcher on the day she was to meet her fate, but he was a little too late.
