that made the greatest impression on you? I was going to put this into "Pets" but decided maybe the animal you most remember wasn't a pet, could have been a mean bull or something...
When I was a kid, we had a big dog named Larry who had to be tied up because he was mean! I remember one of my cousins used to come and tease him with a fishing rod...and the dog could have eaten him alive if he got loose...
I remember feeling so unable to do anything because I was just a kid and what a sad feeling that brings to mind. If it was now, I'd take that fishing rod and shove it up my cousin's a$$! Wow, where did THAT come from???
