time travel tuesday ~ favorite childhood pet edition
I’ve sat and listened to Matt talk about his childhood pet “Perp” all evening.
I’m not sure why he has been thinking about Perp, maybe because his family spent the weekend with us…
Did you have a favorite pet as a child? What was it?
Where did it come from?
What was the coolest thing about your pet?

My favorite childhood pet was a dog I received from my parents when I was 17 years old. Sure, we had many different pets come and go through the years. Unfortunately they usually had some kind of tragic ending in our family… Like our little long haired miniature dachshund B.J. (I was very young and I named him after the mash character. thankyouverymuch.) We took him on a family vacation. He was very very small. We stopped at a road stop to stretch our legs and let him “go” and we literally let him go. We all loaded up to drive off and about an hour down the road realized no one had gotten the dog. My sweet daddy drove all the way back and we posted signs at the local stores. I cried the rest of the trip. My brother and I both though the other one had picked him up. Then I got another mini-dachshund. Dad decided to pull his van up to the house to unload something the first time I put him out alone. The result was a smooshed dog. D E A D! ugh. So you can see the pattern and I could go on and on… but I won’t.
Back to my favorite dog. He was a tiny teacup chocolate poodle. He could fit in my hand. I named him “COCO,” and he was adorable. I had him groomed often with pink bows and toenails. Matt thought I was nuts because he was a male dog. (We were already dating at the time). I didn’t care! He loved dressing up. He wore a little rhinestone collar. So cute! The coolest thing about Coco was he thought he was a big dog and obviously he wasn’t. He growled and showed his teeth! The other cool thing was taking him to school or the mall in my purse. I miss Coco!

Your story is great, except for the very sad endings!
I love that Coco was a male dog that enjoyed dressing up…and that he could fit in your purse!

Oh, how sad about BJ. But the Coco story is so great. How fun that you dressed him up and painted his toe nails.

I have to say, I love the idea of pink bows and toenails, even on a male dog! LOL!

Too funny about CoCo and the pink bows and toenails.
My Princess wants a dog she told me she didn’t care if it was male or female she wanted to put bows in it hair either way LOL
I found time this week to do a time travel post. I know I know it has been forever.
Have a great Tuesday.

Poor pups. I loved remembering about my pets, but I;m a little sad because I miss them. I favorite cat was named BJ, too, but after a different TV character. Coco sounded like a riot!!

I had a pet poodle when I was a kid. I played with him. I slept with him. Never learned how to give him a bath, though.
I guess that’s why I have all the scars in my legs (from all those flea bites).
Hmp.

So sweet! My mother in law used to carry kitten in her school uniform’s pockets. And she was walking her dog when my f.i.l. first saw her. Aren’t pets important in a man’s life!

We did not have pets when I was growing up. But now that I’m adult with a home of my own I have made up for it.

How cute! My favorite dog was Toby. He was a chow and would terrorize the otehr dogs in our n’hood. So, Daddy drove him out to the country and let him go. (Isn’t that horrible?) Well, a week later, Toby showed up at our door. *sob* We felt like the worst people in the world!
