Name an experience involving a pet or an animal which you will never forget.

Our dog Mikey was shot in the "private area" with buck shot, I think it was. He was sitting on the porch when we got home, bleeding but he was wagging his tail as always!!!!  My stepdad removed all the buck shot from the area at home with tweezers and the dog never flinched or growled during the process!!! I loved that dog!!!

Diana...cats are funny aren't they. I think they are loads smarter that us!!!

When I lived with my parents we had a budgie called Binky. When I was 15 he had been unwell and Mom was giving him watered down brandy. He looked very poorly so I gave him some brandy not knowing Mom had watered it down - I gave it neat. He looked a bit wobbly and when my parents came home they commented on this and I said what I had done. It was a tense few hours but he pulled completely round and lived another 2 years dying at the ripe old age of 14!

I was about 13, delivering papers to this one house where the owner had three Alsatians. He always kept them indoors, but one day they were out, and they attacked me, biting at my neck.

I had about three papers, which I pulled up to protect myself. The papers were ripped to shreds, but my neck, and my life saved.

I have been scared of dogs ever since.

I am not surprised that you are scared of dogs Sue!
