I still have my first dog. We never had dogs when I was a kid, only cats. But my grandparents had a dog, Rugo (sheperd/husky mix), that I spent a lot of time with as a child. Rugo was the only dog I knew (apart from neighbor's or friend's dogs that I didn't get to know as well) until I got Bandit. I was 25 when I got Bandit, now I'm 37. Bandit is 12, his picture is in my sig. Gandy and Rocky are really my boyfriend's dogs, but I've been with him for 10 years so they are my dogs too now, they are 11 and 12 years old. So I still have all the dogs I've ever had!
