Show us your pets!

Okay, folks.
I've been reading the "smells like..." thread, and there are a lot of posts about folks liking the smell of their pets (me included).
Got me wondering....
Seems like lots of us have cats and dogs, with a few horses thrown in for good measure. I have bunnies.
Who are your non-human companions? Your fur-friends? Let us see them in all their cuteness! Just because mine are "non-standard" too, bonus points for pets outside the norm...got a ferret? A parrot? Let's see them! :D
Here are mine, engaging in their favorite pasttime - eating!
Noah, a 7 y.o. brown rex, and his partner in crime, Tasha, a 6 y.o. dutch.
Yup, they're both fixed, so 2 is all we'll ever have. :cool:

Oooh...I love this thread!

Here is Toni and Candy. Sorry the pics are so huge!

What a great idea for a thread! I love to show off my two dogs.
This is my first time posting pics, so hopefully it works...

Ella - a 3 yo mixed-breed, we've had her since she was a puppy.
Murphy - a 3 yo Australian Shepherd, we adopted him when he was 1 yo. (That's him in my profile.)

I just HAVE to play too! My boys, Frank and Barak, are on my avatar... I have 62 chickens, but no pictures of them.

The cats are: Athena (all black - a very little girl, full grown at seven pounds), Baxter Black (the Tuxedo cat - sitting in my dog's crate... he LOVES his dog!), Edgar (the sloppy, purring, affectionate tiger - he's a big boy), and Ranya (she actually has a solid black tail, but I don't think you can see it in the picture. Her specialty is yowling until I turn on the sink faucet).

I don't have a picture of my dog, Zaboo, on my computer here! But, he is a Norwegian Elkhound mix and a very good dog!

Here's Choco- California Kingsnake, Coastal Variety, Aberrant Pattern.

Great idea, Regina! And cute, cute bunnies.
Hey, Salsa, are those greyhounds? Beautiful dogs.
Here's my chocolate lab, Cocoa--yeah, real imaginative name--blame it on DH. Anyway, this is Coke when he was a pup with his own little buddy, and more recently hanging out by the bay.

Okay, but I remind you that you asked for it. Click on any of them for a larger photo.

Little dork:

That's Crash, he hates to camp.

Big dork:

That's Doc, he lives for snow.

Girl dork:

That's Mochi, she is game for anything as long as no strangers try to pet her.

Rudy, my 16-year-old indoor cat who is not supposed to be outside, but sometimes he makes his own rules.

Sally, who is 12 and evil. All of the dogs are afraid of her.

Benny died this spring but I am not quite ready to leave him out of the group photo.

http://static.flickr.com/21/33411079_639cb0a085_m.jpg

That one is a little risque (put on some pants, Doc!) but it is my favorite photo ever of my husband and the dog.

http://www.sersale.org/cats/agenza.jpg
here are Aggie and Enza, my two former feral cats, ages 3 and 5
Aggie likes to sit on top of the garbage can and prefers her water from the tap.
Enza is always working some deal. If i go in the bag, will i get a treat? If i jump into
the box will i get a treat? how about if i stand on the ledge? how about if i get
on the chair. I have never met such a busy cat.

http://www.sersale.org/cats/bbqtoby.jpg
and here's Barbie, she's 12 years old and looks just about the same as she did here.
She's a fraidy cat. nothing gives her more joy than careening off the walls because
the doorbell rang

you already saw my foster children, Babe and Jimmy

I thought this was a white manx. what an odd color mix, does she have any OTHER black on her?

This is my cat, Isolde. I don't have a picture of my cat Leonore, but the bottom picture is what she looks like (we took this picture in Sorrento in 2003).

Oh, boy, a chance to show off my sweethearts! This was taken at my groomer's a couple of Christmases ago, and it was the ONLY picture in which they were all (sort of) looking at the camera and sitting still. Bailey's on the left, then Remy, then Cassie, all shelter dogs. Sorry the picture's so big, but there's just that much more cuteness for you to see!

Isolde looks like my Enza!!! you took your cats to SORRENTO?????

Mimi -

Nope, no chicken pictures! They are pretty, though - all different breeds and colored. Some even lay colored eggs!

Ranya is a funny girl - as I said, her tail is pitch black from the base to the tip. She has a small bit of black on one of her pads, and a tiny drop of black skin on an ear. We got her as a stray... she was bony and dirty, and we kept trying to wash off the ear spot! I thought it was a bit of oil, but it's permanant!

My vet laughs every time she sees her - thinks it looks like Ranya's tail was dipped in ink.

Here's my little darlings
The big orange guy is Koji, we found him when he was about 6 or 7 weeks old. He was hanging around outside yowling frantically for his mom. I ended up tracking down where he slept to catch him. He was terribly afraid of people at first. He crawled into the base of our pedestal sink and wouldn't come out until I fell asleep on the bathroom floor. He came out and fell asleep with me and has considered me his mommy ever since.
The little grey girl is Shio. We just got her on Monday from the Humane Society. They seem to be getting on OK. I spent most of my day yesterday with one or both of them sitting on me being reassured that there is love enough to go around.

Here is my dog, Cooper and my cat, Annie. We also have 3 foster kittens right now

Attachment 1496

We actually have chickens, but no pictures of them! This is Daisy.............
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...t/P1300001.jpg

I'm having a great time looking at everyone's pets! Great idea for a thread :D

Here are mine...

These two beauties are Gizmo (female calico) and Zorro (handsome black and white guy). They both turned 10 this past May. They are very good kitties, never bite or scratch, have always used the litter box, and love nothing more than sitting in our lap while we fawn over them. Come to think of it, I think this is their purpose in life!

Attachment 1498

This is Beamer, our female kitten. Well, kitten compared to the others. She turned 1 this past March. She looks every bit the brat she is! Her main purpose in life is to torment poor Zorro (Gizmo set down the 'pecking order' right away) and to occasionally deem herself worthy of our affection by sitting next to us. Her favorite toy? The lazer pointer!

Attachment 1499

Frankie the Pug joined our family this past April when she turned 3. She loves to meet new people and dogs(and everyone in the neighborhood loves her), and she thinks she's the 'cat police'. Every time there's a squabble she runs to investigate. We're in the process of clicker training and her new trick is 'speak' except it comes out like a whisper. After a few tries she manages a cute squeak/growl and of course gets her treat.

Attachment 1500

We also have 2 dwarf hamsters (Tink and Sprite) and a beta fish named Ralphie.

I used to show pugs in breed (how well they conform to the breed standard) and obedience. It's probably my favorite breed of dog.

Cool! Don't look at Frankie too close, then. She originally came from a back yard breeder...but we love her anyway. We're quickly finding out that the pug community is quite an interesting subculture!

The lab is Anika (her formal name is Anika the coffee bean because she looks like a coffee bean when she's all curled up). We just won the monkey at a picnic and thought it would be fun to torture Anika before giving it to Kelly to tear apart. Kelly is the multi-colored dog. (Hmm, wonder where my screen name came from?)

Here they are...

The grey boy is Elwood. He talks constantly! Which is generally cute except when your trying to get to sleep and he is sitting on your head going, "MEOW!!!!"

The black boy is Jake. Yes, named after the Blues Brothers. Jake is a bit of a loony, unfortunately, and now has to live apart from his big brother Elwood. :mad: They take turns spending part of the day enjoying the atmosphere of the basement!!! They haven't gotten along since we introduced our little girl, Tuga. She is the CUTEST thing in the world, even though she came between the boys!

For now, they are our kids...and the DH treats them as such...:)

oh I LOVE this thread! All your pets are so beautiful... the bunnies, greyhounds, cats, horses... and I even think the snake is quite pretty... but glad it's not mine... too many years in OK as a kid did me in... I'm skeered of 'em!

Here are my goobers... the cat is Chamoya, my ragdoll.

The old Pug is Winston... I am hoping for another month or two with him :( He's had a good life tho and been with me longer than any other man... I'll do what's best for him, not what's best for me...

The young Pug is Magnus (named after Magnus Backstedt:eek: :D thought it sounded like a great name for a PUG! LOL)

I love this thread!! Here are my two miniature schnauzers. They really needed a bath and brushing in this picture. It was a rainy time of the year though.

Maggie Bear (Pudge) on the left, she is now 6 years old. She was a retired breeder who the people had no use for when "She just wouldn't take again". All I know is she has been nothing but a little love bug for the two years we have had her. She didn't even know how to eat from a bowl when we got her!

Heidi Ho (Runt) on the right, she is 5 years old. In this picture she was full grown and a whopping 7 pounds! She is now tipping the scales at 8 pounds. :) We don't have to long for our "cute little puppy" she is only 4.5 pounds heavier and just as spunky.

Here (hopefully if I do this right) is my sweet boy, Gauge. He's our co-dependent 1 year old Golden.

We've got three at the moment...

Maggie and Charlie (Maggie is the one with the black face):

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL65/.../189262345.jpg

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL65/.../189262354.jpg

Maggie is 8 months old (born in the shelter) and Charlie is about a year old. We have been told that Charlie is a yellow lab/basset hound mix. We think Maggie is a mixed bag of dogs...but we call her our MonkeyPigFish as she loves bananas, eats like mad and plays in mud, and she is crazy about all water. Charlie loves our cat, Kitty (yeah, I know...real original) and they play all the time.

Lastly, no pet post would be complete for me without a picture of my sweet Tango puppy. She passed away in June and my life will never be the same without her. She was by my side faithfully for 11 years. :)

Regina:

Thank you for coming up with this thread! I love seeing everyone's furkids. TBH, I love animals more than I like most people :p .

Here are our kids:


Mr. Yoster & Ms. Lucy (tortie) playing with their new catnip blanket.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...r/IMG_1170.jpg


Ms. Lucy

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...r/IMG_0020.jpg



Mr. Yoster

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...r/ccef47d1.jpg


We rescued our kids at a shelter in March, 2004. Ms. Lucy is approximately 11 (ish) years old & Mr. Yoster is approximately 10. Ms. Lucy was diagnosed with diabetes in Oct. 2004, and is on insulin.

Whenever I'm having "A Day" - whether it be a crappy, depressing day -- or, I'm sad...... everything changes when I'm with our kids. :D

They really are the light of my life and I love them both dearly :) :) !!

Peace & Love,

Denise

Here is my girl, Muffins - (AKA Ernie-Bird, Ernestine), who went to Rainbow's Bridge on February 7, 2004. I adopted her when she was six weeks old in June, 1984. We grew up together :) . Rest in Peace, my love..

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...01105Large.jpg

Peace & Love to you All,

Denise

awe all the cute animals! makes me want another.

i've posted this picture before, but forgive me i'm at work and the current pictures are at home, but i wanted to share my two little ones.

peanut is the bigger one (on the bottom) she just turned 3 on tuesday. she's a mastiff, rottie, great dane, ridgeback mix. she's only ;) about 100 lbs.

kiska is the one laying on top of her. she's mexican (and will be 3 in december). found in baja, mexico on a couch. bf couldn't resist her and took her home. they are just the best of buds. if i find more recent photos i'll be sure to post them.

This is my Chocolate Lab - Bucky.

I see a lot of pugs in this thread! I had my two pugs for many years, mother and daughter, "Kinky" and "Sukey". Pugs have to be the sweetest most lovingest little critters. :p I miss them.

But now DH and I have cats and we love them to pieces.
Here are my two grey girls:
The sitting beauty is Pearl, my Maine Coon cat. She's a very affectionate prima donna.
Attachment 1514
The one lolling on her back is Lydia, a rescue shelter adoptee. She is the laid back one, and has NO bad habits at all. She doesn't ask for much, just love. She gets a knowing Buddha look on her face that spreads serenity while Pearl flits around like a purring princess.
Attachment 1515

Here are my two canine boys, Teddy the Gordon Setter and Parker the English Field Setter. They are both 4 years old and wonderful addtions to our home.:eek: Sorry if the picture is too large.

Here's two of my cats (we've got 11 cats).

This is our eldest, Lucy who is at least 16 years old. She is a rescue who had been so cruelly treated that she is badly crippled. You can see her paw turns under. She is a house cat only and thoroughly spoiled. We nearly lost her just before Christmas last year when she took seriously ill. Thanks to good vet care and a lot of TLC she pulled through and is now referred to as a "geriatric kitten":D

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...e/PICT0112.jpg

This is the only cat Lucy gets on with - our odd-eyed white, very originally called...Snowy:rolleyes:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...e/PICT0114.jpg

Here are two of our snakes.

Byron my Royal Python (also called Ball Pythons) pretending to be a scarf

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...6/PICT0025.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...6/PICT0032.jpg

and Jake the Snake, or rescue Cornsnake. He'd been very badly neglected and also badly burned at some time:( He was sold to us for £10 beer money:mad:

He's a happy snake now:D

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...e/PICT0223.jpg

He's a beautiful colour and very good natured, really gentle but what he must have suffered with those burns. This is the worst scar:(

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...e/PICT0227.jpg

We also have a rescue Royal Python called Bobby. He'd been so neglected he was starving to death and had several layers of shed stuck to him. He was rescued by a reptile rescue centre then we gave him a home. He's very shy but also very gentle.

Last but not least we have an elderly GSD who runs when she sees a camera:eek:

We have altogether:

11 cats
14 snakes
and 1 dog

Our cat Fizler is up first. He's the one my mother traded an apple for. A little kid in her neighborhood was going door to door asking $20 stray kittens, but he settled for an apple.

Then there's Cooler the 2nd. He wandered into our new yard a couple of years ago, skinny as all get out. I lured him to me with a can of tuna, and he's never left my side, since.

Next up is Charlie, who was just by for a visit, and Zeke our 3 year old shelter mutt. He has an unnamed quality which compels strange women to ask to give him full body hugs, which he, of course, adores. This picture was taken after they had frolicked in the rain for about 30 minutes.

Then there's the old broad, Perchance (Percy for short). As of this October, she will be 21 years old. She is just now beginning to show the wasting of age, and she is mostly deaf and half blind from cataracts. She is a Jack Russell mix who sneezes great gobs of stuff out of her nose every time she awakes, but we love her anyway. She is also the dog that just won't die--bitten by a copperhead, hit by a car, lost for days or months at a time. Sometimes we think she was mixed with a cat.

By the way, I know someone who is looking for a home for a full-blood Weimaraner and a full-blood Beagle. PM me.

I love this thread because I love looking at dogs and cats. Thanks for starting it.

Karen

Ok, I'll jump in.

First is Grey Kitty. He is about 15 years old.

Next is Miss Kitty. She is Grey's mom.

http://img351.imageshack.us/img351/1604/kittytv3.jpg

I inherited these 2 and one other from my parents. They were added to my kitty, Spike, who lived to be 21.

Gosh! Grey Kitten looks exactly like my Blue:eek: :D

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...s/PICT0100.jpg

Here's my mountain biking buddy:

Such gorgeous pets!! What a great thread :)
Here is a link to my crew:
www.geocities.com/tristar350/cats.html

Stop in and meet the gang, and read a little of their stories. :)

~Sherry.

We have 2 cats, Bijan and AJ. And our saltwater tank which houses Bertha and Male 2.0 (our paired clownfish and yes our first guy had an unfortunate untimely demise), Buster the shrimp, and new addition Goby Juan Kenobi.

We also have livestock, which are strictly speaking not pets, but they sure are cool - I am working on establishing an alpaca herd. None live with us at present, but maybe in a few years. I had 2 newborns this year. Here's a pic of my newest baby girl, Hope. :D She was about a month old in this pic, and weighed 25 lbs.

That alpaca is SO CUTE!!!!!!

Ok everybody I am LOVING your babies. So many of them I want to adopt but 4 dogs (5 if you count my moms poodle) keeps me way too busy. Here are my babies. (I'm not gonna bother with a pic of Dorey, my blood parrot fish, altho she is a beaut)
