Your first pet ever

My first pet was a mid-sized German Shepherd named Princess. Growing up in central California, we lived on a dairy farm with 200 head of milk cow on 350 acres. Twice a day when we milked the cows, we would open the gates to whichever field that the cows would be grazing in and Princess would go out and bring every single cow up to the milk barn completely on her own. We never had to worry about coyotes, bob-cats or dangerous snakes; Princess was a one man band. She worked harder than any farm hand we ever hired!
