Dogs MTLH loved


It's been really hot today. We went out to look at a car - MTLH pretends to want to buy stuff and they pay her for it... not really sure why. Anyway, it was hot and still is and I can't think. MTLH has been putting Nana and Pop's photos onto the computer for her and I saw this photo....
She got really excited about seeing it. This dog is Harry (and the man with him is Pop - well MTLH says that's Pop, I'm not sure if I should believe her). Harry was a Labrador. He was the first dog that MTLH ever loved. He lived with Nana and Pop before MTLH was even born. MTLH and Aunty Lou used to ride him around the backyard like a horse - he was THAT big. MTLH said that all her friends were scared of him because of how big he was but that he wouldn't hurt a fly.

The next puppy that MTLH loved was Cara.

She was Nannan's dog. She was a cocker spaniel and she stopped Nannan's house from being robbed one day when someone went to climb over the back fence.

Next in our line up is Gizmo the Labrador.

This photo is one of Aunty Lou, Gizmo and MTLH. Gizmo was the first of three puppy's that MTLH had that went to Guide Dog University after they had grown up. Gizmo didn't make it as a guide dog and had a short career as a pets as therapy dog before he went to live with a family as a pet dog.

The second guide dog puppy was Connor the golden retriever
This is Connor as a baby - he looks too big to be a baby to me. Then again, this is him all grown up...

MTLH said that she loved Connor so much and she still misses him but that he is a pets as therapy dog.

Next up was Ulah, another golden retriever...

Ulah was a bit of a naughty puppy MTLH says and she went straight to being a pet dog when she failed the Guide Dog U exams.

Then there was Carbi


and then ME!!!

PS. MTLH said that the man in the photo with Harry was Pop...

I don't think that this man...

And this man....

Are the same person. Do you?

Wow! Your Mum has loved a lot of puppies! Good thing she has enough love left to give to you too! My Mum and Dad have loved some other puppies before me but we've never really talked about them much. Dad still loves my Uncle Jack and Max and Mum's family have adopted some more dogs and so I guess they are sorta my Uncle and Aunty too... Anyhow, all your MTLH (what is that?) ex-dogs look very handsome but we reckon that you look the handsomest. Especially with that "just got up out of the dry grass" look.
