Love Me A Dog, Love Me a Cat
PROMPT November 14th
It's time for another prompt from the War Chest! Take a stab at this one:
Share your first experience with love. No ... not like that.
Reaching way back into childhood:
I never had a pet until I was 21.5 and married. But as a child, a neighbor girl who lived down the street from me, at the corner, had a beautiful little brown-and-white puppy. At the time of course I didn't know its breed, but thinking back I'm going to guess Border Collie (a friend I made at eighteen had a Border Collie too), a friendly and enthusiastic, just lovable breed. I was so enamoured of that puppy. Unfortunately, that family didn't stay long; they moved out and a large family moved in. They didn't stay long either. Eventually the three houses in a row on that street (the main highway through town, which became part of the famous Lincoln Highway past the city limits) were razed and a convenience store and car wash replaced the residences. All these many decades and an entirely new century later, I STILL with fondness remember that delightful little puppy, the cats who owned the neighbors on the other side, and I remain a dog & cat person. After all this time.
