I spent my whole childhood begging for a dog. I got my first dog @ 12:
Angel - Boxer (adopted from the pound, she was purebred & champion show dog, had been used for breeding but couldn't have any more puppies so they sent her to the pound [
:@])
Cheri - Toy Poodle (inherited from grandmother)
They died the same month, then we got
Billy - Fawn Pug (died @ 1 1/2 from liver shunt)
Breeder gave us Doug - Black Pug (died @ 1 1/2, hit by car when escaped from fence)
Then my parents got the dogs they still have (I lived with them for a few years)
Sundy - female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (she's almost 8 now)
Winston - male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (he's almost 6)
I loved the Cavaliers so much that when my DH and I bought our house this year, we got a Cavalier puppy. My baby is a year old today, and the first dog I've owned "on my own".
