I used to go to the drive in a lot as a little one. Haven’t been since I was 6 or so, but I have been. Have a toothpick ---

The last time I was at a drive-in was about 10 years ago. We went every weekend. I was going to go again this summer, but never made it. Dammit. Have a toothpick ---

**I’ve never owned a dog** (I’ll be away from internet access Wednesday afternoon through Sunday, but I’ll catch up on Monday. I’m sure I won’t be the only one.) ---

**Nope, haven’t owned one**. Have lived with one though, but never owned. A girl I shared an apartment with got herself a nice quite little doggy. But after a few months, bot moved away from my life ☹ ---

**I’ve never had the economy to own a pet** , and if I did it’d be a cat. My family did have a dog in the past (inherited from my grandfather), but it died before I was old enough to remember it. ---

Technical question: Does it count if your family owned the dog? My stepdad bought a beagle when I was about 10 years old and kept it tied up out back. I pretty much never interacted with it. Does this count, or no? (And before you tell me, I know now what a shitty life this was for a dog, but at the time I had no idea, not that I could have done anything about it if I did.) ---
