    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...

    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!!

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