Pet Pictures!

[Ionic]

I'm pretty new here so I apologize if this has already been done. I did a search and found nothing. I thought it would be fun if everyone posted a pic of their pets. Lets see what everyone has (dogs, cats, fish, birds, snakes, etc.)

Me, I have a 5 yr old retired racing greyhound named Toni. She is the laziest dog you'll ever meet.

What a SWEETIE!!!! My old neighbor had 2 retired Greyhounds and she bought them each an old couch (that she kept in the den), I think they layed around about 22 hours a day! :D

[LBTC]

Nice idea, Ionic!

'Cuda, the dog with his paw on the ball, just donated blood last night, which probably saved the recipient dog's life. He's my hero. Beside him is Diva, who lives up to her name - sweet and always the center of attention. Otto is the gray and white cat, the youngster of the group, and Ted, the black cat, is my 14 year old hyperthyroid baby, who needs 2 pills a day. Yup, our house is full!!

Let's see the rest!

Namaste,
~T~

[bouncybouncy]

ionic...very cute!!!! we have a big rescue program here and i have wanted to adopt one but my life has been too hectic and i feel bad for the one i have...thank goodness for my future father-in-law who comes over to have lunch with ebbe...i take her out when i can...she is a little cumbersome except for leisurely rides!

these others are herman & bob (the larger one)...they prefer tandem! herman is showing how not to be...OTB :eek:


LBTC...your house is FULL!!! i can see your photo skills...cute babies and lovely pics!

[caligurl]

brie and tyler have a whole website :rolleyes: desertsamoyeds (http://desertsamoyeds.com)

and they "allow" the cats to have their little section :rolleyes: kittie kondo (http://kittiekondo.desertsamoyeds.com/)

their site is basically an online photo album! it hasn't been updated in a long time (i spend too much time riding and neglect their site!)

they even have a blog! (that too is grossly out of date!) :rolleyes: :rolleyes: dog dish (http://dogdish.desertsamoyeds.com/)

here is one of the few pics i have of all four that is a decent pics (cats can be so obnoxious at picture time!)

Our dog is also featured on a little web page my husband and I put together of dog-friendly locations in Northern California. He is now pushing 11 years old:

Here's a closeup of him staring down my husband in hopes of a walk.

Cali, I've never heard of a desert saymoid. Very pretty dogs.

Awesome pictures everyone!

I have two - Zeus is an 8 yo border collie mix (the black one) and Xena is a 6 you elkhound mix. Right now I'm knee deep in dog hair - it's shedding season :eek:

[Ionic]

Awww...the pet dedicated websites are so cute!!

[caligurl]

[QUOTE=mtbdarby]Cali, I've never heard of a desert saymoid. Very pretty dogs.[QUOTE]

thank you! the breed isn't desert samoyed... that's what we call them together! :) i had never heard of samoyeds either.. til when we were looking at what type of dog to get.. i saw a picture of one in a dog book.. and that was it.... i wanted NO other dog... NO other breed! lol!

i actually had to do some work to get one... hubby liked boxers and rotty's... i didn't like rotty's (sorry :( ) and didn't want a boxer... so i researched and researched.. his two main concerns: he didn't want a white dog he was going to have to bathe constantly.. and the heat of the desert with all that fur... getting the second one.. after having brie a while was easy!

welllllll their fur acts as an insulator to keep the heat out just as to keep warmth in! :cool: AND... the dirt just literally falls off them once they dry... if it rains and they get muddy.. just let them dry and where ever they are laying... you'll find all the sand!

their worst two vices: shedding and digging... we can live with both of those! :D

I was going to start a similar thread asking about everyone's pets. As in what sort of animals have/do you keep.

My list is long and varied. Dogs, cats, turtles, fish, a blue-tailed lizard, a packrat, chickens, and horses. I'm sure I'm leaving out something.

Anyway, pics:

Carmen. Our current cat. She's grown considerably since this picture was taken.

Monty. In the basket on DH's bike.

Vrka. I still miss this one. Perhaps the weirdest psych of all our pets - she'd been abused as a pup and it really showed. Really sweet to family, and the most trainable dog I've ever had. This is the one that I would bike with. A long leash, a high guts/brains ratio, open trails, and we were happy. No pics of that, though, sorry.

[caligurl]

i wanna take my gang on the bike with me!!! lol! LOVE the "bikerdog" pic!

[MomOnBike]

Cali,

The dogs will love it.

A few things. They really have to be well trained. No compromise here. I kept Vrka on-leash on a local rail-trail. She'd heel or run ahead (actually pull me) as conditions dictated. The cues were "Heel" and "OK" for, well, "Heel" and "go ahead and run." She really enjoyed pulling me. Bet yours would, too. They were bred for it, after all.

I used a harness instead of a collar so I wouldn't choke her. Just the regular one one gets at the pet store, as I recall. She would come running when I got the leash and harness out. Didn't even have to call her.

On MTB trails the dog MUST come when you call. And stay away from your wheels. I don't think I'd try that on-leash.

As I said, Vrka and I had a blast, but I've never had another dog I'd do it with.

I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Shiner. He is only 1 and still full of puppy spunk. I wonder if he would stay in a backpack while I'm riding . . . hmm . . .

The web site that I link to for photos is down right now. I will have to post later. :(

[trigurl]

I can't post pics but I have 1 cockatiel, 1 jack russell, 1 australian/german shephard, 4 goats (various breeds) 2 quarter horses, hmmm must be more, I lost 2 birds early this year. I want some chickens and a pig, but b/f is not buying into that :o and I will be breeding my 2 female goats in another month or so.

[singletrackmind]

Well, there are the kitties,
the two that came with the hubby,
Frisky, 8, dilute calico shorthair
Newton, 12, grey shorthair
and the ones that came with me,
Ed, 6, orange and white shorthair
Toast, 10, siamese/persian mix of indiscriminate color
and recently gone but in our hearts and my favorite cat of all time, except maybe Sophie and Bailey,
Scrawny Kitty, deceased, Torbie polydactyl.
And my dogs,
Kouram, 10, Belgian Tervuren
Gin, 11, Belgian Malinois (or Malinut, as they are often fondly called)

Katie...i have ebbe locked in with a halter...the backpack is made for dogs...she LOVES it!!!!! she was an abused street dog i rescued and her personality shows it....she is very nippy to strangers and very unpredictable around other dogs. she has absolutely no social skills even after talking with repitable trainers...she is a special case...i have SLOWLY introduced family and friends dogs to her but she is stll shy and protective. luckily for me she fell in love with my fiancee...that is when i knew he was a-ok! i would love to have a dog i could take anywhere without worrying about her biting but i would not trade her for the world!!!! and the backpack keeps her away from getting into trouble...

http://www.sitstay.com/cgi-bin/sdisp.cgi/EQDG03.lg.jpg:EQDG03a.lg.jpg

this is the one i have....chris does not like it...it does not fit him well (he is 6'1") i am 5'1" and it fits me fine. i did a search for "backpack carriers for dogs" and saw lots others that may suit you and your pooch better! pooches and pedaling...what fun!!!

[bikerchick68]

oh man, all the pets are just adorable! LBTC that pic of Otto is a terrific shot!

OK... here are the boys... Winston aka "Old man" and Magnus aka "Demon dog"...LOL

[bikerchick68]

here is my Ragdoll kitty Chamoya...

[bikerchick68]

here she is "posing"... love this picture of her...

[amg]

I have an Australian Cattle Dog named Monty, who's almost three (never thought I'd survive the first year!) and a super snuggly dog. He moans when he's going to sleep! But no electronic pics yet (I only have an "old fashioned" camera) which is too bad because he's REALLY handsome. And when he was a puppy he was adorable. Not that I'm biased or anything... ;)

My dog is awesome. :D

[n2deep2win]

Here are my babies. I'm not sure if I know how to post the pictures but giving it a try.

[bikerchick68]

oooooooh... the kissy picture is so sweet!! :)

[Tar-Cat]

I don't have a pet of my own right now - I'm just waiting for the chance to get a puppy (you know, big enough place to live, money, all that)...but here's my parents' Corgi named Cosby driving my car ;) :cool:

[Dirt Girl]

The most joyful, easygoing cocker spaniel I've ever had the pleasure to share my life with. Wow, so many of you have multiple pets! We had two for over eight years, and I can't talk DH into it again. Thanks for sharing!

My baby (Pepper, a 13-year old Boston Terrier), loves ice cream as much as her mom! :D

Pepper loves ice cream as much as her mom loves ice cream? :p

[SadieKate]

I was wondering the same thing! Ice cream is very yummy and I love it also, but I wouldn't want to be ranked below a blob of sugary goo, even with chocolate and caramel. :p

[bikerHen]

Here's a couple of pictures, taken last summer, of DH and I with the "kids" Buster and Dottie. Busters in blue, Dotties in pink. The kids are Schipperkes. Pronounced, skipper-kee. They have a great time when we are rolling, but like any kids they want out as soon as we stop! DH converted the trailer to a more dog friendly setup. We always get lots of smiles when we take them out. :D

Mine's easy too. See avatar. She is a Bouvier Des Flandres. They are supposed to be serious watch dogs and guard dogs. She doesn't even budge when a stranger has to step over her to get into the house. Oh well. :)

[Pax]

This thread keeps making me weepy, I lost my beloved Border Collies almost a year ago and miss them as much today as they day they passed. :(

You all have beautiful little furry family members, snuggle them LOTS for me k? :)

[KatieBelle]

Emily- Love the photo! It's very embarrassing to admit, but I wish my head could fit into an ice cream container like that. ;)

[AutumnBreez]

Lovely pets gals, Thanks for sharing!! We are so lucky to have pets in our lives. I had a dog when I was a child till adult hood, she lived a nice long life with plenty of love, and have one again, and could almost swear she is a reincarnation of her. So much alike and both mutts, but look alot alike, like it is the same combo of breeds. Strange, this one I have now was a stray we took in. The other had been abused by the previous owner.
No growling, even about food. She is so good with little ones that have pulled on her legs and made her squeel and she still does not growl at them.
Jasmine is a cuddle bug. Smart and learns tricks quickly. She can do them by sign language, and by voice command. Laydown, roll over, shake....

[gretassister]

We have this white cat and everyone says he is beautiful !! Judge for yourself. joyceemma.smugmug.com password: Linda Leo, his royal whiteness gallery.

The Friend, Hootie (aka The Hoot), and Rocky (aka The Rock).Does everyone in your family have an alias? That's a bunch of aka's! ;)

[aka_kim]

That's a bunch of aka's! ;)A swindle of aka's! Yep, we're trying to stay one step ahead of the law :eek:.

[CorsairMac]

and everyone hold hands and sing:

"Indiana wants her, Lord she can't go back there........" :p

[SadieKate]

A swindle of aka's! Yep, we're trying to stay one step ahead of the law :eek:.Your household is definitely a bunch of scoundrels working on their next scam.

[brok]

is that a pembroke corgi pup? I'm looking for a good breeder. Not sure a trip to CA is in order but it doesn't hurt to explore all the options. She is a cutie!!!

[Melodylynn]

We have three labrador retreivers...
the two yellow females are ours the black male is my brother's. (Brother is attending school and can't have his beloved pooch where he lives during school)
Sunni is the yellow old dog aka "pup"
Sugar is the white one aka "buger"
Sarge is the black one aka "Sargent"- this is his party on picture that I emailed to my brother on his birthday this last Feb.

I'm not sure if the attachments are going to work so here it goes!

[emily_in_nc]

Pepper loves ice cream as much as Pepper loves her mom? or Pepper loves ice cream as much as her mom loves ice cream? :p

Both, I'm afraid!! :D

P.S. I'm loving seeing everyone's beautiful pets - thanks for sharing! :)

[Pedal Wench]

Here are my babies. I lost Ella, the tan mastiff, a few months ago. Her presence in my life is so strong that I still miss her, and step over the spot where she would lay next to my bed. Dizzie, the black mutt has been so sweet since. He's terrified of bikes, and he's not happy that I keep getting more!

[bikerHen]

Hey Audio-A - We had a Mastiff that we lost about 4 years ago. :( She was the sweetest dog we ever owned and I still miss her sometimes. She topped out at 220 lbs., and could fit the head of our other dog, a pit bull/lab cross, in her mouth! I miss my big dogs alot. But when you down size, everything seems to get smaller. BikerHen

[DirtDiva]

Emily- Love the photo! It's very embarrassing to admit, but I wish my head could fit into an ice cream container like that. ;)
We'll just have to find you a bigger ice cream container. :D:p;)

[Sleek]

Take a look at this! Tyson the skateboarding bulldog.

There are 4 videos on the site under "Pics and Movies"

Tyson seems to actually relish skateboarding, and he's good at it too!

The Mastiffs do take up a lot of space in the house! Someone once asked if I had a huge house because of the dog. It didn't matter. I lived in a big house, I've lived in a one bedroom apartment with her. No matter how big the house, she just wanted to be right under my feet! God, I do still miss her :(

[bikerchick68]

AudioA... sorry for your loss... I've been there too... I lost a kitty to cancer a few years ago... planted a rose and put up a kitty sculpture as her "memory garden"... the rose has flourished... brings me a smile to see all those blooms... hugs...

[PinkRacer]

My sweet baby... and what a baby my Mutt is! A 130 pound of momma's boy... he runs beside me on short (slow) rides...

[Zub_Zub]

This is my familys lil smoche. We have no idea how old she is, or what her real name is(we call her fat cat, tiddles and alomost verything under the sun) shes had kittens before we got her so she has the "baby belly". We think hse was owned by an old lady who was living next door to us. Well she moved away/ passed away and no one was taking care of the cat. We let her in one night to sit by the fire and shes just never left. Shes great around strangers and little kids. We had a girl come over from germany early this year. She fell in love with fat cat.

[CorsairMac]

Here's my brood: (no pixs you say?...read on)

Dogs:
Buster, chow/akita mix adopted male 10 yrs old: every time I hold up the camera he runs away.

Millie, boxer/kelpie mix adopted female 6 yrs old: every time I hold up the camera she follows me around wants only Her pix taken. (can you say Princess?)

Cats:
Sqeeek, Maine Coon mix adopted tortie female 7 yrs old: half the time I"m not sure where she is except at night when I go to bed. She Always sleeps on the passenger-side pillow. Who knows what I'm gonna do if there's ever a partner in my life!

Tzi (sigh), red tiger-stripe adopted female 13 yrs old: my dad named her Mouth in Hungarian, talks all the time, couldn't care less about having her pix taken.

Opie, grey/white adopted female 10 yrs old: lives most of her life either under the bed or under the cabinets. She's very affectionate but painfully shy, anything outside the norm - like a camera - scares her bad and away she goes to hide.

Jellicle, tortie adopted female 4 yrs old: she's the most outside of the 4 cats and I could go 12-14-16 hrs and never see her. She's very playful but thinks the camera is something to run away from, really fast!
