Wet Nose

This prompt makes me think of dogs, so I'm going to write about all the dogs I've ever had in my life. Right now, we've got She-Ra and Belmont. She-Ra is the newest addition to our family and came into our lives this past March, kind of cast off from a neighbor. Belmont came into our lives in January 2011, found by Brendan on the streets of LA. Before that there is a long stretch of no dogs, as I didn't get a dog outside of my parents's house until Belmont. Autumn was the last of my childhood dogs who lives many years beyond when I moved out of the house. She was a Chihuahua Pomeranian mix that we adopted from the Middleburg Humane Foundation when I was teenager in Virginia. Ranger also passed after I'd moved out. He was My Dog, one I thought I would take with me when I moved out, but by then he was already rather old and I would have been taking him from a house with a yard to an apartment. It didn't seem fair to him. I got him when I was 12. We already had Trucker by the time I got Ranger. Trucker was a stray we found "truckin' around town." He would hunt moles or voles, kill them, and eat them whole. We had Shamrock already by the time we got Trucker. Shamrock and Trucker both were at least part Cocker Spaniel. And that's time. The only one I didn't mention was Cedar, the one I loved so much but we couldn't keep.
