Dogs I had before I met Mrs. RWP:
--Tippy, a male Border Collie
--Sandy, a male shepherd-collie mix
--Frisky, a male shepherd-collie mix.
Dogs Mrs. RWP had before she met me:
--First Nellie, a black female cocker spaniel
--Second Nellie, a black female cocker spaniel
--Tangie (short for Tangerine), a brown female dachshund-chihuahua mix
Dogs Mrs. RWP and I have had together:
--Koko, a tan female Manchester
--Spot, a male beagle
--Gigi, a black female miniature poodle
--Tasha (short for Natasha), a brown female Irish setter-Afghan mix
--Cricket, a gray female toy poodle
--P.J. (short for Pierre Jean-Jacques DuBois), a white male miniature poodle
--Jethro, a cream-colored male Havanese
--Rudy (short for Rudolph Valentino), a brown male dachshund
--Abby (short for Abigail), a white and fawn female chihuahua-Jack Russell terrier mix (I think)
In summary, I had three, Mrs. RWP had three, and together we have had nine. Fifteen in all.
I feel as old as Tolkien's Gandalf the Grey who became Gandalf the White, who knew many generations of hobbits. I wish our dogs could have lived longer, but if they had we probably wouldn't have known all of them.
Each of them was memorable in his or her own way.
Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me

ReplyDeleteI had three dogs growing up. My husband and I have had fourteen, Labradors, Jack Russells and Dalmatians - two currently, one chocolate and one yellow Labrador.
My son's family had the sweetest black Lab named Sharpie (2005-2023). We miss him terribly. Thank you, Janice.
DeleteI can't even count all the dogs we have had over the years. Right now we have a German Shepherd mix named Delilah. We always have rescued dogs and usually females.
ReplyDeleteI love the name Delilah! Thank you, Emma.
DeleteNever had a dog. Now, cats ....
ReplyDeleteI had a yellow tom we called Kitty when I was growing up. He raised all three of our dogs, or at least taught them the ropes. Thank you, Tasker.
