I have a blind dog, she barks at the couch or whatever she is by when the doorbell rings. We shouldn't laugh but it is kind of silly to watch because she barks with such intensity but is no where near the door. Our other dog runs to the front door and bounces all over while barking.
LOVE this thread and everone's beautiful babies!
My fur/feather babies are Harley, our 15-yr-old Pomeranian; Lacey, our 6 or 7-yr-old lab retriever; and Cosmo, our 3-yr-old Cockatiel. Last Thanksgiving we lost Rocky, our 16 or 17-yr-old Shih Tzu, and I still miss him like crazy and have to include his picture as well!!

Tater- Sagan is stunning!!! What a pretty lass! I'm cracking up at your name - Australian Shedder. So very true!! I have a hard time doing yoga at home because I end up see all of the balls of hair under the sofa and getting distracted...
My two boys:
Storm, 9 years old, adopted from a rescue group in Manhattan.

They are all so cute. I will see if this works... Here is my child. Her name is Shoni. She is a Shih Tzu and is 11.5 years old.
Oh so many cute pets!!
divingbiker - your two look adorable. I don't think I would get any work done with those two around. :)
Wonderful photos! Tater, that puppy is fantastic!
Here are some more of Shiloh, taken today.
New Chloe pix - she went to see "Santa" yesterday. It was a fundraiser for our local shelter.
Awwwww...
Did she get to tell him what she wanted for christmas?
Of course!Quote:

What a cutie.
Are pit bulls ears normally docked and hers aren't, or did she just get extra acreage?
Karen
I think in general there's a move away from docking dog's ears. Maybe more so with pit pulls so they don't look like fighting dogs, as those poor dogs do get their ears butchered off ("docked" would be surgical, by a licensed Vet). Seems like European kennel clubs aren't allowing docked ears if you want to show your dog.Quote:

Margo, she's beautiful! Wiggly is a good description, I bet. Kindof Piggly Wiggly (a grocery store chain of days gone by down here).
I considered a rescue Pit bull mix because there are so many around here (Michael Vick's included). But my homeowners insurance would have gone up alot, and so I went with a less-maligned model. Most of the pits I see have floppy ears.
I have a newfound appreciation for dogs with wild ears.
Hi Tulip,
Yes, wild ears are the best! As are rescues! I volunteer at an animal sanctuary here (horses, dogs, and...poultry!), and the woman who runs it spent a lot of time with Michael Vick's dogs at Best Friends in Utah (where a lot of them were sent to spend the rest of their doggie days). Wow what a sad, sad story. In Denver where my family lives thousands and thousands of pitbulls were euthanized as a result of the pitbull ban passed within the city limits a couple of years back. It is a tough issue to make sense of when you love them and see how they are too often treated.
I am not trying to get into a debate about whether all pitbulls are 100% safe--that is a complex issue--but so many are yet are treated like lethal weapons.
Rant over. :) I love my sweetpea.
Sweetpea looks like a Frenchie to me and definitely looks fitting of the name.
One of my schnauzers has floppy woppy ears, they are so expressive it cracks us up. The one we got when the breeder retired her has cropped ears, I would never willingly crop ears. My friend told me she hated doing it as a vet tech and her graphic description of it was enough to keep me from wanting them on my puppies.
My parents have the biggest love bug of a rottweiler, seriously she is the biggest wimp yet their HOA didn't want her in the neighborhood. I hate the breed labeling but it is what it is.
Looks more like French Bulldog mixed in than Boston (shape of ears and the fact that she's solid white), but whatever she is, she's beautiful! :)Quote:

Sweetpea has some magnificent ears! Chloe's ears are also fantabulous -- love that smile.
Here's my polydactyl (6-toed) cat Petey. I rescued him when he was a little kitty from a ditch while on a bicycle ride. He grew up!
What a life! :rolleyes: :D
No kidding. My husband and I both want to come back as Petey!
Your kitty is soooooo adorable. I think rescues make the best pets. :)

Are you happy now?
Sundial: That' "Bah Hum Bug" if I've ever seen it in a face! Too funny!
I know. I put it on and her expression said, "Merry friggin' Christmas". :D

Shiloh is just a good southern dog name, too. But most importantly, it sounds like "Shadow," which was his name before I got him.
Except for the squirrel obsession, he's a great dog. Even that, though, is amusing. I just don't know how to respond to a squirrel sighting and the subsequent incredible level of concentration on that squirrel (or tree where he saw a squirrel yesterday!). He won't budge!
Three, that is one good looking hound dog. I love hounds. I considered a Pound Hound but then met Shiloh.
He reminds me a bit of RoxinaQuote:

All our animals are rescued.
Chance is our handicapped cat, his back legs don't bend. He gets around great and can do 90% of what his brother can do.

MyLiteSpeed: What gorgeous photos! And THANKS for taking everyone in! You are a saint!
Here's a photo of my girl, MacKenzie, thinking she's MUCH younger than she really is! It was taken tonight -- our first snow this year, and she's trying to catch snowballs. She doesn't quite get where they go to! :D
Here's Eddy, 7 months old now! I'm doomed :eek:
Does he sleep like this often? :)
