Ever since I was a little girl, I have had a deep affection for animals. However, dogs are at the top of my list. I remember bringing home all sorts of strays. I didn't care if they were puppies or huge dogs, if they needed a home, I was sure yo be the one yo give it to them. Mom and dad didn't discourage me and I believe that is why even today I have strays around my home. Funny thing is that I don't get them myself, they just show up!
I have lived in my home for eight years and have had the opportunity to help several shelter dogs by fostering them, I have helped several lost dogs find their homes, and I have had the pleasure of actually owning several dogs. At the moment, I am the proud momma of a 3 year old German Shepherd named Hercules. We named him Hercules because he was a huge puppy when we got him. He was 9 weeks old and weighed 36 pounds. Today, Hercules weighs about 120 pounds.
We also own a 3 year old Rottie named Perseus. My husband got jealous that I had a big dog and within a couple of months of getting my dog he bought the Rottie. Initially, my dog did not like this new animal in the home. Fortunately, they both get along well now .
Finally, we have the odd ball of the family. Lol. We rescued a Chiuwawa mix who is really small compared to the other two dogs. She was found by one of my daughter's and much like myself at her age, she decided to bring her home. Our intentions were to re-home her. However, she won us over and we could not let her go.
So, with three dogs in our home, there is never a dull moment. Do you have a dog or animal you love? Tell me a little about him or her. I would love to hear your pet story.
