First? A black dachshund, named Blackie. Dad gave it away after it kept him up all night barking to get in and then running off when the door was opened.
See what I did with that First?

A sweet but feisty chihuahua/pomeranian mix named Pablo. That doggie jumped into the fray more than once to protect his pet cat from an aggressor. The cat & the would-be cat chasers were all bigger than he was.

True story. The first one I can remember was a collie pup given to my dad from a co-worker in '53. The day he brought it home it ran behind the neighbors car and was killed. I don't think we had even named it yet. Other than that he was always "rescuing" strays and unwanted dogs, cats and parakeets over the years. One that stands out was a registered English Sheepdog named "Pogo Snow Boots". Hated that dog, dumber than a rock. Did have a few nice Shepherds and Collies though.

A Boston Bull dog named Spike, when I was 6 years old. Ugly dog but we had lots of fun together running and playing along the Walky River bank, west of town----

I thought my parents had given me a very shy turtle. Years later I discovered it was actually a rock.

Thanks from this gorgeous grandma! My grandfather had a pack of black and tan hounds that he used to hunt with and I remember seeing a stack of papers each other proving something or other about each one of the dogs. My grandmother said he knew more about the dogs than about his own children. I used to run up right in the middle of the pack, I loved those dogs. Later I had a white dog with a black spot, his name was......Spot.

I thought you were an adherent of the tango.
P.S. In this heat I would stick with a chocolate of at least 85% cacao.
P.P.S. At 85% + cacao levels you get the added health benefits.. .
Lower cardiovascular disease, lower bad cholesterol, mood elevation, stress reduction, lower colon cancer rates, increased joint health, and as a natural appetite suppressant.

My parents had a black and white cat named "Monster" when I was born and there are pictures of me with him when I was about one year old.
However the first pet I remember was a giant solid black short haired cat named "Ringo" My sister and I named him that just because we liked the name even though we didn't have a clue who Ringo Starr was.
