Q: Did Cecil have any pets?
A: One of my favorite stories of my dad was his determination in asking my mom out on a date when they first met at OU. This is where the “pet” comes in. Mom, for unknown reasons, refused to go out with him. So to win her over he bought a Pomeranian dog. She loved those yappy dogs. Haha. So my dad walks into his cousins house where my mom is studying with the other pharmacy majors and lays down his cowboy hat with the yappy dog hiding inside. She finds that tiny, yappy dog and immediately falls in love with the dog. As a result, my dad got his first date with my mom. Btw, the dogs name was Gent (my granddads name is Gent) never heard the story about why she named it Gent.
