My First Dog

My First Dog by Steve Adams My dog just walked over and started licking. I hugged her and we sat together watching the squirrels out of the window. This brought back memories of my first dog, Tony. I was at an auction sale and was maybe about 10 years old, when someone brought a load of puppies for auction. All of the pups sold except one. As with all puppies, she was cute and would look at me with those large brown eyes. I offered the owner $1, which was a LOT for me, and I ended up with a soft new puppy. My dad laughed as he told the story again last night, and informed me the guy would have given me the puppy, but for a kid at that age, bargaining was unknown to me. Tony was a great friend and had this habit of showing her teeth when she was happy. She loved to play tug of war, throw up a paw for a shake or drown me with licks. We spent many years as a team together on the farm. That was 50 years ago, but her smiling memory will last forever… Support the show #Political/Conservative/Judeo/Christian/Constitutional
