1. WHO/WHAT INFLUENCED YOU THE MOST FOR HAVING DOGS AS PETS?
I don't know how to describe it. My very first memories of childhood revolved around dogs and cats. Dad raised Weirmeraners (sp?) and Mom raised Saimese cats plus a few strays.
2. WHO GAVE YOU YOUR FIRST DOG? HOW DID YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST DOG?
I guess the first one that was actually mine was a puppy I found out in the back 40. It was mangy and half-dead, but my Dad nursed him back to health and he was beautiful.
3. HOW YOUNG WERE YOU WHEN YOU HAD YOUR FIRST DOG?
About 8.
4. YOUR FIRST DOG WAS A ________ ? AND YOU NAMED IT________?
An English collie named Pup-Pup.
5. DO YOU HAVE PETS OTHER THAN DOGS? WHY OR WHY NOT?
Not yet. I'm working on building up the farm animals first. Besides that, aren't 6 dogs enough?

But I wouldn't mind different kinds of pets. I've had them before.
6. WHY DO YOU WANT DOGS OVER OTHER PETS?
They have all of mankind's better traits with none of the bad traits.
7. YOUR MOST MEMORABLE DOG INCIDENT/TIME?
Having to rush home from work because Suki wouldn't let the paramedics work on my sister. She didn't bite anyone, but she would insert her body between the paramedics and my sister, and growl. My sister was having heart problems (she had a heart attack) and every time she would cry out in pain, Suki would move her body back in place and growl.
8. YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING DOG INCIDENT/TIME?
See number 7 above.
9. ANY DOG RAISING BLOOPERS YOU HAD?
Yes, but Suki realized I didn't know any better and forgave me. :-P Oh, by the way, hydrogen peroxide bleaches dog hair, too. :-D
10. PARTICULAR TRAIT/PERSONALITY YOUR DOG HAS THAT YOU LOVE/HATE.
Which one? They each have endearing qualities.
