I miss my dog time to time. She passed away I think.... gosh 8 years ago. She was a Golden REtriever named Penny.
I walked her constantly, just to get out and break boredome. I always enjoyed taking her to the beach and letting her go insane, she loved rolling in the sand after a dip in the ocean which was hell to deal with afterwards, for any Retriever owners, you know what their coat can be like when stuff gets in it. She was compassionate and always was excited to see anyone.
What was the most oddball characteristic was that anyone with Facial hair she just loved to no end, only with my Father she was very submissive (alpha male thing) but my GOd father, when he came over she freaked out... she learned his name so that whenever we called out "Uncle Paul" she bolted for the door, her tail going back and forth a mile a minute.
She was so attached to my mother... and visa versa. I was out on my own when they had to euthanize her, it was a very sad day.
I have a photo of her though, I smile every time I see it.
Last winter my Brother and Sister in Law and I got a puppy from the SPCA in Dallas. The little girl was absolutely the most adorable little dog I ever saw. She was loving and so happy to have a home. I wish I had stories about her... but she had contracted Distemper in the pound and well, we all know how that ends.
I just shouldn't have pets maybe
But I want another dog asap
