Well, techinically four and a half :p. First there was Coco, the HA Chesapeake Bay Retriever. He was PTS at almost 15 years old. We got Daisy while we still had Coco. Daisy is 6 now. Then there was Abby. Her owner fell on hard times and was keeping her in a cage at the grooming place I worked at and we ended up fostering her for a week until she found a home with another groomer. We didn't keep her because Coco was still around at the time. She was the half. :p

Then there was Minnie, I adopted her from the animal shelter. Minnie got along with Daisy for three months, then had a bad fight with her when I wasn't home (I was at class, my parents were home). Daisy's ear was ripped in half from the tip to almost her head. She had to go to the emergency vet. After that, Minnie wanted to KILL Daisy, and Daisy was TERRIFIED of Minnie. Minnie ended up at HART and was adopted from them. That was the most horrible thing ever, having to give her up, but it was a hard lesson learned to be more careful who I adopt in the future.

Then there was Benji, who my sister kinda stole from an abusive, neglectful owner who let the poor little thing roam the streets when he wasn't beating the crap out of him. And now we're at who we currently have, Benji and Daisy!

Lots, it would take me awhile to sit and figure it out. But that's because I've been fostering for quite a few years now!

ummm... let me see... I've had lots of dogs/puppies that we've found or fostered... so... NOT counting those ones I've had... Bandit (Siberian Husky), Rocky and Rachel (Black labs), Jodi (Brittany Spaniel), Pittie (APBT) who my parents decided to rehome sadly :( and then Cheyanne who was my Australian Shepherd and my heart dog. Those are all the dogs that I had growing up not including my fosters...

Now... living out on my own... I've only had one dog... Bamm Bamm.

Don't worry... more to come I'm sure... Chaz will have to be introduced to a new Doberman puppy at some point in the future I'm sure.... we'll name her Pebbles? haha

On my own I've had 3. I had 2 fosters (still have 1 of them currently) on my own as well.

Growing up, we had 3 over the years. A pomeranian, a dalmatian, and a toy poodle.

I'm not counting the dogs we had prior to living on my own.
I had Cassidy, a Husky/Malamute (I adopted her when she was already 6. I had her for 2 years, but I was forced to rehome her because my landlord made me. She was howling all day when I was gone, and I never knew she did that before moving to an apartment. He gave me no time to correct the issue--just said she had to go. She is with a family friend and they will not give her up again. She adores their child and they adore her) and Mason, a Min Pin (he was run over at only just over a year old)

ME, personally owned, 4.

Now, if you want to take into account family dogs (like from when I was little) and dogs that aren't mine but I feed, bathe, walk, etc, rescues, then.. ermm... 12.

Well, dogs that are just mine..Sammy is my first and only puppy! *huggles her*

Now, dogs that are in the house? Three. And those dogs are Samm(of course), Max(old fat lab), and Jax(some crazy mutt I can't figure out what he is!)..When I was little we also had two outside dogs, but we got rid of them:(..After getting Max and raising him inside my mom said she'd never have another outside dog again because inside they can be raised better..Smartest thing I've ever heard her say lol

On my own, Sierra is my first. We did foster a sweet beagle girl named Rosie a few years ago for a week and a bit, she was a darling but we weren't ready for a dog at that point for more than a short term foster.

With family I've had 3. Amber the yellow lab I got for my 4th birthday, Snowpuff the malti-poo I got when I was about 7, and Snap who was technically my grandpa's dog but we got him when I was about 11. Of those, Snowpuff is the only one we kept for his entire life, and that was because I put my foot down and said that under NO circumstances would he be re-homed (my heart was broken when Amber was given away). He passed away when I was 21. Snap was re-homed to the trainer as he was having aggression issues and she wanted to give him a chance.

My first dog was Mino. I had him for 14 years before he passed away peacefully in his sleep.
Then we got Lily. Lily was stolen from us..
Then we got Candy. We had to give Candy away to my aunt because by that time, my grandmother had developed Alzheimer and became afraid/aggressive toward the dog, and the dog her.
then I left Vietnam to come to the U.S.
15 years later I got Mocha & Missy
Muffin joined us a year later.

So, I've had 6 dogs thus far. All were/are uniquely precious mutts!

Growing up I had two Dobermans and a whole whack load of Springer Spaniels. I couldn't tell you their names for the life of me though so the dogs that I remember are Shelby (the Sheltie), Miley (the mutt) and Spanky and Bandit (The Border Collies). So four that I can remember.

My very own, I look after, clean up, brush, feed, vet ect: 1. Blaze.

Growing up.
CJ the first. She was there when I was brought home from the hospital. She was a rescue my family got a few years before I was born. a toy poodle. She was PTS when I was 4. So 1989

Lassie our collie. Got her when I was 4 1989. She was PTS in July of 2002.

CJ the second we got when I was 4 aswell 1989. She too was a toy poodle. She was PTS in October of 2003

Sweetie was CJ the seconds accident litter puppy. He was born in our home (obviously lol) in 1992. He was put to sleep October of 2006.

So all in all I have had 5 dogs. Cj the second having 3 accident pregnencies, sigh. But I was to young to know any better, but my family should have. poor girl. So out of them 6 other dogs. But I dont count them as they left at 8 weeks and that was that. Atleast we kept all our dogs we brought in the home for life. if only they could have not had so many accident litters. But we live and learn
