Dogs

When I was a child, a day didn't pass without spending time with my dogs. I loved to spend time outdoors as much I could and I still do this day. I wasn't the type of kid who was scared of animals or played video games. Many times I would play with my dogs so much that my brother and sister would lock me out of the house because I smelt so bad. My mom told me once I would nap with the dogs or try to ride them (kind of weird...I know). Once, I told my family that my dog, Simba, told me there were monkeys in the woods. Simba was also one of my boyfriends and I named him after Lion King because it was my favorite movie. Growing up, my family always had big dogs like labs, golden retrievers, and a few mutts. As I grew up, we went through several dogs. Over the years, my family and I came up with some crazy dog names such as Wolfina, Simba, Hunter, Jock, Fred, Nelly, Holly Jo, Remington, Bandit and Lightning. Now that I'm older I still have that same love for dogs but I just don't have one to call mine. My brother has 2 labs, 1 yellow and 1 silver who I absolutely love named Captain and Morgan. Over Christmas, my siblings and I got my mom a tri-colored shih-tzu, Pippa, who's named after Kate Middleton's sister. Being an hour away from home, I don't get to see my babies that much, so one of these days I'm getting a pup to be only mine.
