My first pet

My first pets was an AKC registered champagne miniature poodle, Missy Ann. Although small dogs and small children are supposed to be a no no...no one ever told Missy Ann that she was a dog....not a really small person! She was very affectionate and protective of me and my brothers. So protective that when my brothers got in trouble and my mom wanted to spank them, Missy Ann had to be locked up or she would growl at my mom and try to bite her!!! She was 14 or 15 when she died and my heart was broken.
