Your Child Hood Dog

[moosmom]

A red cocker spaniel named Pee-Wee. Later on it was two Airedales, Tinker's Terror (father) and Samantha Nikki (daughter). All wonderful dogs!!

My childhood dog was Pepper. He was a Saint Bernard mix. We got him shortly after we moved out to the country. So I was probably about 3 or 4 years old. I remember him running around the backyard and he would run with his butt down to the ground and would spin in circles. LOL
He lived to be around 12, I think. I never cried when he left us. Until I was in high school and had to write an anthology. I chose to write about Pepper and I bawled my eyes out.
I'll have to see if I have any pictures of him I could scan and post.
We have always had dogs, but Pepper was the first I remember and I'll never forget him. EVER.

Awww...I love the first picture. Was that you as a girl? Very cute and the dog was beautiful! I had a few cats growing up...Frisky, Tiger, Biddy-Bop and Pouncer. 2 main dogs, Tug and Thai. I used to take Thai to the school play ground and he would run up the steps and down the slide. He was a German Shepherd mix and lived to be around 15

His name was Tex. We went to the pound to pick out a dog. He had just been admitted, and was looking quite forelorn in the corner. My younger brother & I wanted the very lively larger dog that was jumping all over us, but Dad had fallen for the new guy. They said he was a cocker mix, but now that I know more about dogs, he looked a lot maybe Toller or yellow lab mix. He was really gotten for my brother, but stuck to my mom like glue. He was a lot of fun to play with, and used to drag us across the floor playing tug of war with his Yucky Ducky.

Tanner IS my first pet, other than three fish, we did not know how to take care of them, they died after three days. . We kept them in a bowl, and later Mom read on the internet not to do that. They need filters, tanks, lots of other stuff.

My Sadie is my childhood dog! I've had her since I was six years old!

Yes, I think I was 9 or 10 there.

This is my first dog, Fritzie...he was a wonderful standard sized dachshund who loved his backyard and kept any kind of "critter" out!!



Clancy was a terrier mix....he was a funny, funny little dog....Curly tail, overbite, crooked ears, big nose, and curls that dangled down like ringlets from his tail!



My last dog we had while I was still at home was Kacie, a cockapoo.....she was a wonderful little pup who loved to get my dad's socks out of the dirty clothes and bury them in her bed!

All I ever wanted in my life was a dog.

I vaguely remember a neighbor bringing over a puppy from her dog's litter..if memory serves correct (I had to be about 7) it was a terrier mix. Poor thing ran out the front door about a month later and somehow broke it's little leg. Unfortunately vet medicine wasn't what it is today and after suffering for weeks and not healing, my dad had him (Happy) PTS.

I finally got my wish at age 40, (Cody) but it was worth the wait! I'll never be without a poochie. EVER!
