Today is National Dog Day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love animals especially dogs. Growing up we always had a dog around. There was Chi Chi. A chihuahua. She was the best a little girl could have. Then there were others but none had the effect on me as her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there was Lady when I first got married. She was a fine Alaskan Samoa. Beautiful dog but always so sweet. She was a good dog<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More recently I have had the privilege of having multiple dogs around me. Two of which lived with me. Both dogs were German Shepherds. The eldest is named Leia. She can be so sweet but quite talkative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there is Tucker. He is something else. He is very fun loving and can be timid which is strange for a German Shepherd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, I\u2019ve told you about my dogs, tell me about yours. Do you own one? If you do, tell me about your pup. If not, why? And what do you have instead? What is your fondest memory?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
