Gilly's Birthday and Pets in Books

Yesterday my sweet shih tzu, Gilbert Blythe, turned 10 years old. I have had him since he was a teeny tiny baby, and now even though he isn't tiny, he's still my baby in attitude and affection:).

To celebrate my sidekick with a literary name, I thought I would ask you to tell me your favorite literary pets! Some of mine are:

🐰The whole menagerie of pets from The Vanderbeekers

🐱Peony from the Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries (I'm shocked I love a cat this much too)

🐷Wilbur from Charlotte's Web (I'm counting talking animals obviously)

🐶Hank the Cowdog (these were hysterical growing up)

🐾Dan and Ann from Where the Red Fern Grows (cue ALL the tears)

I'm sure I'm forgetting some great ones, so drop your favorite(s) in the comments!
