Day 6: Tell us about your pets, the ones you've had and lost

I've had several pets: 5 cats, 3 dogs, a hamster and 2 mice. 

When I was born, my parents owned a cat. I have no memory of her. 
Then we had a dog, a French bulldog named Bobbie. Unfortunately he was put down when he was 11 months old. Turns out he had a disease since he was born, but no one knew about that. 
After Bobbie died, we got another French bulldog named Beauty. Ironically she was quite ugly, but she was so sweet. She was 5 years old when we got her, and she used to be a breeding dog. Eventually she got cancer when she was 9, and had to be put down.
When I was five years old, I was playing in our backyard when a cat walked in. She was about 1 year old. I fed her, and she came back the next day for more food. Eventually she came inside our house, and she never left. She became my pet, my best friend. I named her Lizy, but we used a lot of other names for her. The last few years of her life she was known as Muts. I loved her so much! She was in my life for 18 years. In May this year I had to let her go. She was old, and it was not fair to let her live longer. I really miss her. 

I had a hamster, named Springer. I named him that way because he liked to jump of the little house in his cage. He died because of old age. 
After Springer died, I had two mice, but I don't remember their names. They both died of old age.
In 2003 we got a Boxer dog named Bary. We got him from the Czech Republic, from a town where we spent our summer every year. We got him from a man who bred Boxer dogs. Bary has always been the sweetest dog ever. He can steal your heart easily, and when you are sad he is the best friend you can ever wish for. He is now 10 years old, but still healthy. He is just an old man, we always say.

At my moms house we have two stray cats, who come to the house to eat twice a day. One of them is female, and is named Pien. She is really sweet, and is becoming an indoor cat the last few weeks. Kinda like what happened with Muts. The other one is very shy and scared of people. We think he is male, and we named him Vriend. He is getting less shy and scared, and I have been able to pet him a few times.
