The Questions

How does this work?  The instructions are simple!  

1.  Choose a pet who made a difference in your life.

2.  Choose a picture of that pet, or you and that pet.  It will be posted on the blog http://waggishtails.blogspot.com and also the Waggish Tails Facebook page.

3.  Think about your pet and then answer the starter questions below - as many or as few as you like - no rules!

4.  Feel free to go freestyle if you have a story you want to share.

5.  SMILE!  People are going to love the story of you and your pal as much as you love theirs!

Many of these questions are phrased as if your pet is still alive but, I realize, for some of us the pet who was that one-in-a-million may no longer be with you.  Please apply the question as best fits your situation.  We want to share the experience of that pet, just as you think of it.
