Dead Pets

Since I was 5 years old i've always had pets. I have a problem though... I don't know how to take care of my pets. Every pet i have ever had has died. I had thirteen pets in all since i was born. The weird thing is, they are all dead. Most of the deaths were not my fault, but a few were.
The first deaths were my goldfish. I had them for about two weeks. Then one day one was at the top of the tank. My mom said it starved. So i wanted to make sure the other fish wouldn't starve,but instead of this fish starving it popped of eating to much of its food. I was so mad that both of my fish died. But the thought of popping feel bad for that fish.
The second deaths were my dogs Chewy and Shebee. They were the greatest pets in the world. I still miss them. Chewy got his name by eating everything. Sheebee had many names but i usually called her either Sheebee or Giblet. Sheebee was overweight and pregnant, she could not have her puppies because she was spayed before she got pregnant. After many years of having these dogs they they had to be put down. The main problem with them was Chewy has bitten fourteen people and killed three deer illegally. Before he bit anymore he had to be put down, but Shebee the “fat one” was put down because she had a miserable life. She had a hard time walking anywhere and could barely make it up a twenty foot hill so she basically died from being to out of shape.
My most recent pet loss was my mini turtle that i got at Hampton Beach. It’s name was Fred. I didn’t have him for long and I didn’t really have any good times with him. He always used to eat these Coco Puff looking things that smelled horrible. Soon after i bought him my family and I took a trip to Florida for vacation. We got him an automatic food dispenser that fed him every 8 hours. So when we got back i decided to get rid of him at the pet store. He was the worst pet all he did was swim around and eat. Boring.
Each of my pets either never lasted that long or i had to get rid of them. My favorite pets were chewy and shebee. They were such amazing pets but to bad they are dead. I don't think im gonna have another pet because eventually they all die.
