I have had a pomeranian (buffy), a toy scottish terrier (jack), a samoyd (Dartanian), and a Chow (CJ). The first three dogs were rescued. My uncle had buffy and the woman he was living with had kids that were mean to her, so we took her and she quickly became attached to me :). Jack my other uncle found as a puppy abandoned in a shed. The girl who had owned him was feeding him pretty much nothing and giving him alcohol (beer...which is where he got his name from...jack daniels) and my uncle didn't want him but my grandpa did so he adopted him and jack was the Shop Dog (my gpa owns a repair shop) until he was about 15 or 16...he was about 2 or 3 years older than me :). He was my precious poopy! LOL
Dartanian was a little different though, he adopted us. He just wondered into our yard one day when I was about 12 and started playing with the kids lol. We tied him up in the front yard and after about a month no one claimed him, so he was ours :). He's all white and oh so pretty. He loves people and he loves to be petted and loved on and all that fun stuff! He's good on a leash too :) Ya gotta love him :)
CJ (the Chow) my "dad" bought one day for some unknown reason :drinking: and she ended up having puppies (my "parents" were not very responsible people...they should have had her spayed), which we gave to friends and relatives :). She eventually got to be too much for them so they gave her to a friend that lived in the country.
Jack and Buffy passed on when I was about 15 I think. I still miss them sometimes. The laundry room (where they slept) is still so empty. :(
And now I'm a Chihuahua fan lol. I just love them! I'm getting one this weekend! Woohoo me!! Go me Go me! LOL I'd love to have cocker spaniel someday too. They're precious :)
