"Your first pet"

What was your first pet? Mine was a goldfish called "Jaws" that all my Brother's goldfish's food until he died (the fish, not my Brother)! Poor Jaws then managed to jump out the fishtank onto the kitchen floor. I also vaguely remember a rabbit that died when I was very young and we also had an Afghan that was really wicked...until it died.

Infact, change this thread to "Why do parents buy young children pets that don't last very long?" Maybe it's a harsh lesson about life?

I had a guinea pig called Tango who was cool but died from shock one Bonfire night, at least that's what the vet said. Then there was a rabbit called Dr. Snuggles, who used to lick your fingers. But he died too, from the snuffles. And my sister had a rabbit called Blackie (no racist jibe intended) who broke his back trying to jump up in the air, but he lived for ages after that.
