What was your memories of your childhood dog? I had mini. shcn. UGH... I hated those dogs, from a young age I swore I would never own one when I was older. I guess I can thank them for my love of big dogs. They were yappy and thought they were made of lead, tring to eat every big dog they could find. I can honestly say I was embarressed to walk them. I can remember seeing people with shepards and boxers and thinking- those are dogs! Then I would go on my merry way with my shaved runt of the litter rat dog.

I had lots of dogs growing up. All kinds of Hounds (my dad hunted). AM.Cockers, australian shepards,GSDs and an unlimited amount of mixes that came and went. I lived in the country where everyone would dump their unwanted dogs. For me it was the life. For my parents UGH! another dog dumped. Until one day my dad saw someone dump a dog by our house and he grabbed the dog and got in his truck and chased the fellow to the gas station (10 minutes away and he didn't know my dad was following him with a suprise). The man was filling up and my dad took the dog up to him and said you forgot this! Take it to the pound if you don't want it. The guy was suprised. I was bummed....I almost had another dog. ROFLMAO BTW my dad is hardcore (or atleast he was). I made the story a little nicer. Charina Corrado Mastini 317.213.9033 -link- | ||

And I had to be nice to this snarling piece of fluff. We had Gordon setters when I was a child and I really like them. Too hot here for them but will always have a soft spot for them. | ||

He got killed by being on the wrong end of a truck tire - while the truck was moving. ------- Maximus This Government is not far from destruction when it crowns with its highest honor in time of peace, the man that was false to it in time of war.

How many times her velvet ears mopped up my tears! Honey was a refuge from the fear in that house. She was so good, and yet, toward the end of her life, when she was crippled and chewed with fleas, she was forced to become an 'outside dog'. After years of spending her youth indoors, she was suddenly "too dirty" "too buggy" "too incontinent" "too smelly" "too sickly" "too ugly" "too bothersome" to stay inside and now had to experience the the heat, the freeze, the rain and the snow along with old age. I helped her as much as I was allowed. Picked off fleas, scratched the places she couldn't reach, towed her on a towel to shelter. And one day she was gone. Father watched me hunt for her, call her name for hours, knowing all along that he had finished her without the chance for goodbye. | ||

I can not even imagine how you felt. I'm sorry! Yes, It's a bittersweet memory. But if not for dear poor Honey, I might never have known a Mastiff. Of course, It was definitely her time to go. Too much suffering. I just hope it was done humanely. Father preferred animals over us, so I believe he did it quickly. He wasn't always mean. | ||

After mucking with all of those dogs, what do I do in my late teens? Go out and buy a Chow, lol. Qui Me Amat Amet Et Canem Meum | ||
