Do you remember your first dog?

Tzumpi - Tzumpi is the first dog I remember. I loved him very much.

Hello, dog lovers. For everyone there was a "first dog". Maybe our love for dogs comes from this particular dog. For me, Tzumpi will allways be a special character of my childhood. He wasn't my dog, he was my grandparents dog, but I loved him a lot. Our love was mutual, he was allways so glad to meet me. He used to follow me everywhere. He died when I was 9, and then I promise myself I will allways have a dog close to my heart. What about your first dog? Would you like to share memories of this special dog for you?

In my memory, the first dog that I have was when I was really small dog. He looked huge at that time. And my only memory of him, I was once poo when he approached me. I was scare stiff and cried for help. He really looked huge then.

Your first memories about dogs don't seem very pleasant. I hope you aren't scared of dogs now, as they don't look huge to you any more.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about your lost. I know how it feels when you loose a four legged friend. My beloved Nera passed away last December. Maybe now they play together in a happier place, where they don't suffer any more. Kowle, and Gheyske, and "Paduke", and Tzumpi...

Well, i still live with my first dog. I always want a dog when i was a kid, but never had one. When i grow up and start to live in a house it was one of the first things i did. She is really a lovely dog. Sometimes i wonder how will gonna be the things when she die, but i am sure i will gonna have more dogs.

It is nice you still have your first dog with you. It seems to me that you and Vicky spend a lot of time together. I hope he eats from his own plate when you two eat Roti. lol I remember how I used to steal bread from my grandmother's kitchen to share it with Tzumpi. I was 6 and it didn't matter to me that we took bite after bite: me - one bite, Tzumpi - another bite, me - one bite...^_^

Of course, I loved him so much. His name was Boomer, remember the series? He was mixed, loved to eat so he wasn't only fat but as he was long he became a little rectangled...

You know, Katie, I think everybody loves the first dog. No matter it was pure breed or only a mongrel. As you have seen in the picture, Tzumpi was a white sweet mongrel, but it doesn't mean he wasn't loved.

Oh yes, I remember, when I was a child we used to have a dog named ewax. I don't remember her that much since I was a child back then. But I loved that dog that until now I could still remember her.

It is true, as a child, you don't keep so many memories. Only the most important things remain in memory. And the first dog seems to be such an important thing for a child. I don't remember many things from that age, but if I close my eyes I can see how me and Tzumpi used to run together, play together, jump over the fences together, eat together...
