Flashback Friday: Little Critters

I thought it would be fun to share some old photos that show where my love of little critters came from. Instead of dolls, I played with stuffed animals and My Little Ponies. So I've been an animal lover pretty much since day one!

Here is me, strangling a cat. (not really)

Here's me, strangling a dog. (Was this my only pose?!)

Here I am, riding bareback on a small horse. So gangsta!

That poor cat!

Cuddling a kitten with my Dorothy Hamill hair.

Looking disheveled with the family dog.

Posing with my big sis as our dog smells her butt., and our kitty runs away into the neighbor's pasture.

Here I am, in Canada, contracting rabies from a black squirrel.

Me, in yellow, posing with the family pig, Oinka.

Wrestling with bait fish - I look like I also played in the dirt!

The family (me in my purple jacket) posing with a circus bear. Naturally.
