My First Dog

My First Dog by Steve AdamsMy 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
