Currently have one dog, "Roscoe" we've had a little over a year. He's a lab mix we got from a couple who had several other pets. They had gotten him as a puppy and were keeping him in a kennel til they realized how big he was gonna get. He's really smart and protective of my boy too which is a good thing. Over the years we've had one dog I picked up off the side of the road as a pup. Her name was Pinky because a pink belly was about all you could tell about her at the time. She lasted nearly 13 years before going off somewhere to die. Her six pups were all great dogs too and all but two that disappeared as pups stayed around anywhere from 6 to 12 years with each suffering various fates as country dogs tend to do. One not from that clan was Peggy Sue. She was a stray that had been adopted by the people at a place I worked. I got her as 6 plus year old when their insurance company told them she has to go because they were afraid she'd bite somebody. They were gonna call the pound but I tood them I'd give her a home. She died at 14 from an inoperable tumor. The hardest one to loose though was Jett who my boy picked out and who got hit a year later, on the first day of his summer vacation. I'm usually pretty unshakable when it comes to the fate of my animals but I admit even I cried when he got hit. The rest were all good dogs, don't get me wrong, but Jett had a personality that made him almost human. Funny thing, Roscoe who was gotten as a replacement for Jett is the same way, if not worse, when it comes to smarts and personality.
