When I was a month old, we adopted a beautiful 1 year old Samoyed from the Saskatoon SPCA. We had her (Chinook) until I was 5, then we moved and while we were moving out to the country, my aunt took care of her at her ranch, but ended up keeping her because Chinook loved the space.
When we moved to Manitoba when I was 10, we got a giveaway in the paper Gordon Setter x Golden Retriever named Wolfgang. When I was 15, he had to be put to sleep.
In October (same year Wolfgang went to RB) we adopted Mickey from Funds For Furry Friends in Brandon, Manitoba.
In December 2005, we adopted Molly from Winnipeg Animal Services.
So in all of my 16 (almost 17) years old life, I've only not had a dog for just short of 5 years. :D

Yup, ever since i was little we had dogs.
I remember feeding our daschund bananas through the screen door. i was only about 3 at the time so i guess we had him since before i was born. Then we got Gizmo, then evee, huey, molly, prince, and now astra. We had to give Gizmo away because we moved. Evee and Huey were bought at a very young age and died because of parvo. Max died when he was 10 or so because he had heartworms. :(

yes...
My parents got our first dog when I was 8, it was a yorkie. We couldn't have any pets before that because my sister was really sick and constantly in and out of the hospital. I 'lived' with my grandparents when my sister was in the hospital. My grandparents had 2 dogs then, a sheltie and an australian shepherd. When I was 9 my grandparents got a lab.
When Justin and I got married we got Bitsy as our wedding gift to each other, we got her 2 days before our wedding.

Yes! We got my first dog when I was two. We re-h0omes him when I was seven (NOT my choice, but at the time flea treatments were limited mostly to chemical ones and my mom was pregnant. :( )
After that, we were dog-less until I was about 11 and we founf a stray cocker on the road, We didn't end up keeping him but we got Star not long after that.

My family adopted a cocker-golden-maybe lab mix when I was a kid, maybe 9 or 10. I played with him alot but he was really my mom's & my brother's. He was finally pts at a ripe old age. I had cats for the next 34 years, and put my old kitty down in december. Got Star about 9 years ago, and have had doggies ever since.

Yes!!!
I've never lived with out a dog or cat! When i was younger and still living with my mom, i use to go the pet store and buy cats and then i would tell her i found them. It was funny because my mom and I are such animal lovers, that she couldn't say No when i said i found the cats. She now knows that i bought them. haha!! :D
-
We got Anita when I was 11, and she my first dog... But I had played with my grandparents dog all my life... He was such a good guy...

The only time I've been without a dog was when I was five, we were moving from Utah to Minnesota.

i've always had dogs. since the day i was born. :D

Thankfully, I've had a dog since the day I was born! I don;t know what I'd do with myself if I didn't have a dog! They're just wonderful!

No, I've never had a dog as a child, but my grandmother always had pups (nippy, tippy, and spike) when i went to visit her in the summers when i was a kid.
My first dog is Camen from a shelter, He is now 2 yrs. We've had him in our lil family for 1 and a half yrs now, and more years to come :)

The first dog my family had was a Golden Retriever named Buddy. He passed away last year. I was 15 when we "rescued" Buddy from a campsite that is about 5 hours from here. I am now almost 21, so I have only had dog/s in my life for 6 years.
