I grew up with a shepard named Penny. Who unfortunately got hit by a car. But then we got another shepard and my parents named her Penny also. She absolutely loved carrying rocks into the house. We'd have to catch her with them and get rid of them because she would chew them and ruin her teeth. She was too much for my parents and we ended giving her to a kind couple that lived on a farm.
Then when I was around 12 I think, we got Mandy our Lhasa Apso and Toby, also a Lhasa Apso, soon after. My Brother brought home Sabre, Shepard x Golden Retriever. All passed by old age. Then my brother had Taz, Rottie x Shepard mix when he was on his own (I had to take Taz in for a couple months though
) He was such a sweetie. We think he was poisoned somehow at my brother's new house.
When Tony and I married, we got Spencer, a Lhasa Apso, who passed at the age of 13. And now we have Sadie and Nora.
