Pets

As a child did you have any exotic (i.e. those not indigenous to your area) or unusual pets? If not, did you have any pets at all? What kind? Did you give them standard pet names or come up with unusual and unique names?
As a little girl, Duke the boxer was my 1st pet and my 1st friend. He was big, very gentle and I loved to hug on him. My parents said I would put clothes on him and ride his back. As the years passed, we had another dog. Pepe the poodle. That dog hated me and I have the scar on my lip to prove it!!!!!
As I aged, I went back to boxers. They are such good family loving dogs. Barkley was next, named by my son. Then came the sweetest boxer I have ever owned, Mia. She was the best dog anyone could ever own. Now we have a rescued boxer, Ernest T. Bass, with the long tail. Mr. Ernest is in a league of his own. He had some hard times before he came to us, tied up all the time and found running in the streets. It has been a year now with him and he is still afraid when we leave the house, but is much better. He is slowly becoming a great companion and I am glad we found him.
Ahhhhh they are adorable. What a cute layout of all your doggies! What great memories. I have heard that boxers are great family dogs. I know several people who have them. I am not much for poodles either. My grandma had too and they would growl at us. They loved my grandma though. lol!
What a great layout! Unfortunately I didn’t have any photos (that I’ve found yet) of our dogs when I was a child. I think Ernest was lucky to find you!
