Who was your first love?

My first love was my dog, Castro. He found me almost 11 years ago as a 3 month old little cutey! I was 19 years old and really wanted a dog, so I decided to do some research, so I checked out the Petsmart in the area to see if they would have any puppies to adopt and boy did they! One Saturday I went to check the dogs and found this perfect little fluffy goodness and had to have her! There was a just a picture of her because she was getting spayed, so she couldn't make it that day, so I inquired about when she would be there. They assured me she would be there next week, so I waited....and returned the next weekend. I was so excited as I walked in the door, I was the first one there for the event. I was so early they hadn't even brought in all the dogs, so I took a place next to this shopping cart, where I saw a puppy just staring up at me. It was love at first site. I asked if it was anyone's dog and they said he was there for adoption, so I hung out next to him until all the dogs were brought in. Of course, I first asked about my first love, the fluffy goodness, but it turns out she couldn't make it again this weekend and I thought to myself, "This must be meant to be". So I sat next to this puppy until they were ready to adopt out and said I had to have him. Little did I know he was the most unique one out of the entire bunch! There were 10 black puppies from the same litter and just one tan one with a half white, half black face. I still have no idea why he ended up in this cart all alone or why he was brought in first or why that fluffy goodness wasn't there, all I know is Castro and I have had a great journey together. I took him home that day and we have been inseparable. In fact, he's laying next to me right now, on the couch, as I write about him. Share your first love story of how you and your pup became united.

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs, Oh My!

My life pretty much revolves around my dogs. Playtime, feeding time, bed time....it's all about the dogs. Currently, I have 4 four dogs, one recently ran away, but we hope to get her back soon! Two are puppies and two are much older, all ranging in breed types. There is a story behind each dog, which I will share and I hope you will share yours! My love for dogs pretty much started as a young child. I demanded dogs as a kid but I was not ready for the work it took to actually get a dog and prove that I could keep it, so they came and went. But as I got older, I started realizing that something was missing in my life. Once, I got my first dog, Castro, I knew it was meant to be. So, come on my journey with me through the life of the dogs I have and let's share our experiences, information and good times!
