    There has not been one single second in my life where a dog hasn't been at home with me. When I was born we had Retread and when I was two we got Buttons, so when Retread died Buttons was there. Then shortly after Retread died we got Mandy, and this past year when Buttons died Mandy was still there. And now we also have Nova and Luka. There hasn't been one second in my life where a dog hasn't been there, and I don't think there ever will be. Two or more dogs are more fun than one dog, they seem to bring out crazy qualities in the other

    Yes, ever since I was born. My first dog was a Border Collie/Bernese Mountain Dog named Yella.

    Well... I'm 14 now... but no.
    I never even had any pet of my own until I got Frisk... which was just over five years ago.
    Its my mum's fault! Yes, she was the one who wouldn't allow me to have a dog. She's the reason that I had to beg for over a year for a dog.
    Ah... but everything payed off. The pets have turned her into an animal lover!

    I actually went the first 5? years without any pets at all then I bugged my mom and got "my" (she actually only liked my mom ) first ever cat...few years later we added another cat and then got Shadow! My parents always had dogs but just before I was born my dad's dog passed away and it took him awhile to actually want another dog...

    I got my first dog (Simba) when I was 10 and have never been without a dog since.

    Before I had dogs of my own, I was constantly playing with the neighbordogs.

    Seabastion & Captain - the two poodles who my best childhood friend had. We used to dress them up and push them in strollers. The last time I saw the both of them they were both blind but happy in their old ages. I assume they are now at the bridge.


    Terra & Trooper who I basically grew up with, they are now at the bridge. Often times when we had our house open, they'd wander inside. They were very well-behaved dogs and never left their yard other than to come to our house.

    Norman and Pooter - Pooter was the true meaning of mutt. Her owners got her because she was "the ugliest" dog at the shelter. I couldn't even being to guess what breeds she was. Norman, The Cocker, is still alive. He certainly isn't the brightest but he was my swimming buddy. Before we even got dogs or a pool, I used to visit and swim with normal practically everyday.


    So, really.. I've never been without a dog, but they always haven't been MY dogs.
