Shiloh is adorable.
Pearl is lovely.
I had a Maine Coone named Fuzz a while back. He was the coolest cat. He decided that my roommate was his human. He'd follow her around and wrap his tail around her legs. When she was in the bathroom he'd sit outside the bathroom and guard the door. He was her self appointed guard cat.
Our Pearl likes to leap up from the floor unexpectedly onto guests shoulders to ride around. When we see her get 'that look' while she's eying them, we have to warn them (or guard them!). :D My daughters used to freak out when that happened, now they think it's cool.Quote:

we went to the shelter to look at cats today :)
My favourites so far are a large, athletic male with gorgeous leopard markings, he was a bit standoffish though, a tiny, heartmeltingly sweet female with the glossiest black coat you can imagine, she was a bit timid, and the funniest little female with thick soft orange fur, shaved off from most of her body because she came in with massive knots in it, wearing a sweater :D She was such a friendly little thing, every time I talked to her she perked up and leant her head back over the basket to reach my hand. She looked like one of those Chinese hairless dogs only worse, but seemed not to take offense. Wouldn't leave the basket though, so it was hard to tell how active she is.
dog and cat don't get along...but I love them both the same!!
Every time I see this title for this thread I think it reads "show us your PESTS"
I get a good laugh then because I have a few PESTS. 2 cats and a dog, and soon a guinea pig. I suppose they are PESTS because they have so much personality.
Beautiful furbabies everyone. I am really warming up to the cats, lol.
Rusty is still doing well with everything but the marking:mad: I just don't get it. He's neutered and potty trained and the little stinker will mark my furniture when I turn around! He does it about once a week - ugh.
Off to walk to school with the boys and pick up my son!
mtbdarby- you can try taking a damp washcloth to his face (cheeks where they like to rub things) then go rub that on the spots he's marking so they already smell like him. I can't remember how frequently you have to do it- every couple days or everyday til he really gets that there's no need to mark. I think I saw it on the British show Barking Mad that's on Animal Planet and maybe a few other similar shows
I can't believe time has flown by so quickly. Fergus will be one next week.
Here are a couple of shots from a family trip to the beach over Easter.

Kids and dogs just seem so natural. Fergus is such an interesting name. :)
Tulip, I chuckled when I saw Shiloh's expression. It's That Look. :D
BleeckerSt., your kitty seems to have the true character of a Maine Coon. :) I like how they are so curious.
I gotta worn you about long haired cats who knot. You will have to brush her every day!!! Did you take pictures? Are you closer to choosing?Quote:

Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs!
Yikes!:eek:Quote:

Unless your pet is a wild Arctic Fox
Check out the screaming cats as well.
I hope i don't get like that when I'm old.
This may be of some interest to those in NY DC, Chicago, Denver & LA...

AKC is allowing "mixed breeds" in performance events, they've been debating it for years.
http://dogshows.suite101.com/article..._breed_program
I'm thrilled, as I started agility with my rescues to build their confidence and socialize them, but we couldn't compete (in AKC, there are other venues). There is a lot of controversy about this on dog forums, but that's the way it goes.

I left this morning on a 18 mile ride and left the dogs tied outside. Guess I wasn't thinking because I do this with Zeus all the time and he's fine. But Rusty....well, he's a digger:eek: Guess I'm gonna have to dig out the buster cube and kong for him to give him something to do. I guess that was my fault.
When I was stretching in the kitchen I noticed dried urine on my new kitchen cabinet and floor, and later when I got out of the shower and was dressing, he left the room so I followed to bring him back and he went in my sons room and peed on his bed! I was furious! I corrected him and took him outside. Now I'm confused. He had just spent hours outside and comes in and pees - not just a little dribble to mark this time. When I'm home they go out every 1-2 hours and he makes it all night. Guess it's time to call the animal behaviorist. I can handle lots of behaviors but messing in the house.
I've also cleaned his messes with natures miracle and the vinegar/water combo and I can still smell it. He's kind of cat like - he rubs up against the love seat a lot and he scratches at the carpet. Is that breed specific or a behavior thing you think?
I'm afraid I'm very frustrated with him right now and I need to figure out what I can do differently so he succeeds. Why can't they just talk to us:p
He can't be trusted in the house, so I wouldn't trust him in the house at all. That means he would be watched like a hawk when I could, and attached to me via leash when I could, and outside when neither of those things can be done. I can watch them like a hawk and keep them in one room when I'm doing things like knitting and watching tv. If I'm up doing light housework or whatever, I might attach the dog to me via a leash. If I'm cooking a big meal or busy on the computer, and don't want them under foot, they go outside.
The dog I am fostering--I took him in the bathroom with me when I showered, just so he wouldn't be unsupervised in the house.
It's like having a very busy toddler around who can unlock doors. You can't let him out of your sight for one single minute.
And just because they've been outside doesn't mean they've peed recently. After you've untied them, walk them around the yard for a few until they go, then bring them in. Some dogs don't want to go while they're tied up. Maybe they think everything inside the perimeter of that lead is their den and they don't want to soil it.
Digging is a natural thing. Tie him up where you don't mind him digging. If I knew how to stop it, I'd have a beautiful yard! :)

I have to admit it, I love to watch dogs dig. Most of ours were diggers when they were puppies but they seemed to have outgrown it.
Our backyard is for the girls, so it's gone "natural." The girls have trampled down most of the dirt, but they've saved one small raggedy patch of grass for "grazing!"
I have a dog that will never outgrow it, so long as she can hear the moles chewing the grass roots beneath her!
My other dog just builds nests, and then goes back there time and again and digs a little more to find the cool spot on a hot day. Unfortunately, he likes to dig under trees and bushes and expose the roots. :(
