Your Child Hood Dog

[cyber-sibes]

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!

My first dog was a Cocker Spaniel/Beagle mix named Coconut. I was convinced she was the worlds strongest dog. She was a good friend until she was hit by a car.

I also had a Border Collie/Rough Collie mix named Green. I didn't name him. He had a nasty habit of chasing cars. He had a lot of herding instincts in him. He too was hit by a car.

First one was a collie mix and lived till I was 14. After that we always had shepherds.

I had a few dogs for short spans growing up, but my childhood dog that I really connected with and he was really all mine...was Bruno. He was a long haired dachshund and cocker spaniel mix. He was the sweetest dog in the world. I've never met another dog with a temperament like his. I got him as a 13-year-old and put him down when I was almost 27. My childhood cat, Dusty, whom I'd gotten as a 10-year-old, died a few months later. I miss my boys!
