(149,580 posts)18. Our only dog was a Dalmation we named "Meson." Anyone knowing any physics can figure that one out!
We had her from puppyhood till she died. I wasn't working yet when we got her, and she and I bonded like crazy.
My husband would tell me that she would lie at the front door and whimper when I'd go out, but when I got home? She would go crazy with joy! I'd sit on the floor and she would run around me and almost rub on me and lick my face and just be so happy that I'd returned home at last! She was pretty big, around 60 pounds and she nearly would knock me over with her exuberance.
I still miss her. I called her my third daughter...

I have so many. Pets who were memorable because they were good, and pets who were horrible.
