childhood pets

[ihartgonzo]

Shortly after Shushu passed, we acquired this gorgeous 5 year-old Rottie boy, Rex. He had gone through abuse at the hands of his former owner ALL of his life and he still adored everyone... he also scared off a burglar, when I was 12 and home alone with my sister. He was an amazing dog.


These pictures don't even begin to show off his stunningness, but they're all I can find right now!

I'm going to have to get my parents to scan some pictures, they've got all of the ones of childhood pets. I think I might have one or two around here of Meisha, the lab/dobe mix we adopted from the Humane Society when I was 10. She was cool, very timid and had attatched herself to my mom, though I eventually ended up being second. I taught her a bunch of stuff and liked seeing her come out of her shell-she had been abused and abandoned two weeks before having a litter of pups, so she had some life-long fear issues. She was the sweetest, most patient dog though. Learned how to open our backpacks to get at the snacks we'd leave in them.

This is Rambo.

My hero, my guardian, my secret keeper, my pillow, my foot warmer, my vegetable eater, my best friend, and forever in my memory.

I suppose Nikki could be called a childhood pet, though she only assed this year. I got her when I was nine.

My heart dog:









I miss her sooo much still.

I love seeing and hearing about everyone's childhood pets.....I only hope my children will have the same love of the memories of their childhood pets! Too bad I can't find pics. of the many guinea pigs we had when I was a child!

Heres Mum before we were born, not sure who the cat is, but with Jack and Tussey.
I still wish I could've got my hands on Tussey now, she sounded like an awesome dog.
