Five pets Jack O'Neill remembers1. Speedy the turtle. He used to lay on his tummy and watch Speedy amble leisurely across the floor when he was just a toddler. His father, who was a bit of a joker, had given the turtle its name, but Jack was too small to really appreciate the humor ( ... )

I love #5.

I always thought that the team took some of Daniel's things just to keep him close.

1. One of his earliest memories was of a big farm dog his folk’s owned; already gray-muzzled when Jack was born. There are a couple of black and white photos of him as a toddler, sleeping with the dog. One from a family camping trip, another has them on an old quilt at some park. He doesn’t remember much about the dog; only how nice, warm and safe it was to sleep with someone, some body, wrapped around him ( ... )

About a month before Charlie died, they’d given him a puppy. The damn thing was always playful, excited and happy; it didn’t realize Charlie wasn’t there any more.

Oh.

1, 2, and 3 are sweet and sad...4 is so Jack. By, my God, 5 hurts.

1, 2, and 3 are lovely and nostalgic, with just a touch of sadness to them.

4 Gives a bit of a jolt, and 5 - that one is just heartbreaking.

After Jack met his Danny, the love of his life, they got two beagles and lived happily ever after. The end.

Bwah! But you've forgotten the goldfish and the turtle and the squirrel and the raccoon!

But you've forgotten the goldfish and the turtle and the squirrel and the raccoon! I was going to say that's too many pets, but you made me realize I did six instead of five! :-D

Actually, seven! But I think the hamsters and the beagles count as units, so you're good.
