WAG magazine: Were dogs a part of your life when you were growing up?

Terry Bradshaw: I’ve had a lot of dogs. The first one I remember was a blonde Cocker Spaniel. I was about four or five years old. I would get out of bed at night, sneak into the backyard and bring her to bed with me. I would even hang my feet out the bedroom window to try to pick her up with my toes and pull her in.

I love dogs. I love, love, love dogs. Luckily, I married someone that loves dogs as much as I do. There are always dogs in our bed. Tammy and I have been together 20 years and you can count on both hands the number of times that we have slept by ourselves. I love to kiss and love on them. My mother says, “You are just ridiculous.” But I can’t help it. I love them. They are like our children.

WM: How many dogs do you have now?

TB: We have nine. We’ve had as many as ten. We recently lost two dogs—Buttons, our Westie and Johnny Cash, our German Shepherd. Cash was our guard dog we got from Wayne Simanovich, a highly respected, well-known dog trainer. Cash was big, very powerful but a total sweetheart. He would even let other dogs take food out of his mouth but…you didn’t want to be coming around if you didn’t belong here. We now have Legend, another German Shepherd, also from Wayne. Then we have Handsome Hank, a Westie; Hootie Baby, a Dachshund; a blonde mini-Dachshund named after Dolly Parton. Guess what we call her?

WM: Ummm, I have no idea.
