I have a feeling Im gonna have to come to terms with the "meat pet" mindset sooner than later. Im more of a shoot from a distance making a clean kill kind of guy rather than getting hands on.
My first dog was a coyote/german shepherd/collie mix. I didn't have him for long after he was grown because he was hyper territorial and we lived in town. He knew he was my dog and I was his human. We had that really close bond and he even slept in my bed at night.
After dad took him on a rural excursion he never came back from we had a mix of cats and dogs typical for kids.
The primary breed we had were Chows. Interesting hardheaded spoiled breed. We got our first because my grandparents had her and she ate the neighbors chickens so the deal was that my dad bury the chickens and we got the dog. We kept some of her puppies throughout the years.
I guess Id have to say that my favorite was a Chow my ex mother and law bought us named Pooh.
Pooh was NOT like other Chows. He was this sweet kind furball I raised with 3 orphaned kittens. Two of the kittens I found as newborns in a landfill while dumping construction debris.
So I take Hans and Frans*SNL reference* home and eye drop feed them along with this chow. They grow up and they would play and chase each other throughout the house. They would literally take turns like tag. Right after I got the two kittens from the dump we were bequeathed a 3rd kitten...a grey and white Ragdoll. Those three would run Pooh ragged and he'd lay there and theyd come over and knit buscuits on his fat rolls. He was also really good with everyone in the neighborhood. He'd walk with my mom to the postoffice and back and also with the neighbor and his dog for their daily jogs.
