52 Weeks of Sharing Our Memories - Pets

This post is part of the 52 Weeks of Writing our Memories by Lorine McGinnis Schulze at Olive Tree Genealogy who has challenged us to write our memories for our future generations.

One year for Christmas, I got a puppy. My dad suggested I name her Lulu after my Uncle Louis (he was actually my dad's good friend).

I wasn't a real good pet owner. I was fine as long and I was chasing Lulu, but when she chased me, I ran away scared. And like a lot of kids, I didn't take care of her. My parents did. I just played with her.

Here I am with my granddad Albert Pendleton Sr. and my dog Lulu

One day, Lulu disappeared, and I never saw her again. We had other pets over the years, but Lulu was the only one that was mine.
