Annabel is gorgeous!
Thank you!! She's a really great cat, very talkative. We think she's part Bombay, because her legs and tail are shorter that most cats and her face is more rounded.Quote:

He's a lot more affectionate than Annabel. He's sort of like a frat boy. "Hey, black cat, you wanna play??" "HISS SPIT GROWL CURSE!!" "Okay, cool, maybe later." (Repeat 10 seconds later.)

That is freakin' hilarious!!! I have a 10 year old Pomeranian and a 3 month old Pom- they act a lot like that--- Kasey ( the coffee cup Pom pictured some pages above) gets in Gizmo's face to say hey lets play- you look like my Momma- what's that pretty long hair on your tail- wanna play- wanna bark - come on let's bark, okay then I'll just yap . . . Gizmo says GRUMPH -get outta my face and let me nap- -
But they are so cute when they come in and sit side by side to wait for treats . . .
OK, it's a bad picture but here are my babies - Zeus is the dark one, a border collie "mamma's boy", 10 years old, and the other beauty is Xena, my 8 year old elkhound mix, with one blue eye and one brown eye. She's a great mouser, too.
That's what everyone keeps telling me. At first I got upset and would cry when she got ugly with Vlad, but now it's a source of entertainment. He keeps trying to bodyslam her. Fool cat. He'll learn that it's the girl who's the boss. Just like with people. :DQuote:

She got along so well with my other two dogs, and was so sweet compared to my two rambunctious boys, that I just had to keep her.
After thoughtful words and advice from Lisa SH here on the board and from my wonderful dog walker, I finally had the courage to take Cassie to the vet yesterday to put her out of the pain and misery from her mast cell tumors. My extraordinarily compassionate veterinarian made the ordeal bearable, and I'm so grateful for that. But even so, as dogmama said a few weeks ago, it sucks.
Here's a picture of my adorable Cassie resting inside the fireplace, her favorite spot.
i'm so sorry to hear about what happened. it's hard no matter what.
((((((divingbiker))))))
Oh, DivingBiker, I'm so sorry to hear that.
It's always so hard to lose a pet. But understand that you did the right thing. Cassie isn't suffering any more.
I'll light a candle tonight to guide her to the Bridge.
Our deepest sympathy, divingbiker. Mere words are so inadequate, but take comfort that Cassie is at peace. Possibly our greatest act of love towards our beloved furry companions is giving them a gentle passing at the time of their greatest need.
Gentle journey, dear Cassie.
Much alofa,
Sherry and the cats.

I was just there a few weeks ago - I lost my 14 y.o. German Shepherd to a neurological spine disorder. I'd been watching it come on, but it's still hard when the decision is made.
Somebody on this board said, "You took on her pain so she would not have any pain." So true.
Love and hugs to you. Take extra good care of yourself right now.
Divingbiker, sorry to hear about the loss of your puppy doggie...How cute she was.
Big hugs for you and yours.
Take care

DivingBiker, hugs to you..I don't want to imagine the day when we have to put our little boy down. If I was talented I could figure out how to download a picture, he looks like Annie's boy she took in., with the exception of his ears, which are a extremely small for a cat. Which Annie, by the way, did you name him yet?
Sausha is the lighter one and Timberwolf is the black and cream one. My lovely Sausha i no longer with me, but she is still my puppy!
Divingbiker,
I'm so sad for your loss. I can only imagine what it must be like. I haven't had to face that yet with my pooch, but will someday. Even though it's sooo difficult, I'm so glad we can help our animals to not suffer any longer. Cassie's in a better place. May you find peace from your grieving.

Divingbiker-So sorry to hear about the loss of your pet. Anyone who doesn't thing that losing a pet is like losing a family member has probably never had a pet. My deepest sympathies to you.
((((diving biker))))
So, so sorry!
So sorry, divingbiker--I know firsthand what a hard thing that is to do, even when you know it's the right thing.
Littlebit is my newest addition she was rescued before a car hit her by neighbors. They put up signs and looked for the owners. Littlebit needed a home so I took her in and Bianchi mypoodle/Jack Russel and Basso my weenie dog love her. Here is her picture.
Aw, she is so cute! Great name for her! Is she part doxie herself? Have you posted pix of the other pups? I'd love to see them.
Hey Twin, what's your new Bleriot doing horning in on the poor little pooch's picture!? What a HAM that bike is! ;)
Yes she is part weenie and the other two I posted more towards the start of this thread. The Bleriot is hard to keep out of the picture I think she is jealous!
here are all my rescued baby's. The one in the bushes is BO. He was abused and rescued from a 6 foot deep hole off the freeway. He had a fractured pelvis and a broken leg. He was 4 months old when we got him. He's leg had to rebroken and fixed. The vet said he must have been kicked. He is so grateful for everything we give him. the long haired kitty is Willow and the siemese is aki. you know her from my avatar.
Here is a picture of a pup that the breeder has her eye on for me. He is five weeks old.

I bought a sheltie puppy last November, who ended up having a fatal kidney disease. It was heartbreaking. Chester died in July. But if he didn't end up with us, he likely would have been put to sleep sooner, and he DID really have a good life, and he was running and playing up until a few days before he died.
Dogmama- That puppy is so adorable. He just looks ready for snuggling. :D
Paigette- I LOVE the miniature schnauzers!! They are so stinking cute.
Chester looks like he was a very happy little guy. He must have known he had it good for his short little life.
You gave Chester a wonderful happy life- he never knew it was supposed to be longer.
I see some of you posted pics of your dear departed pets so here's the true love of my life, Cheyenne. I first saw her sitting there among her siblings, mud splashed all up on her head. Instant crush. I got her a year after a bad vehicle accident and it was mostly her that inspired me to start living and walking again.
She loved water and would do anything to go splash around in it. I had to keep the bathroom door closed when in the tub or she'd jump right in with me. She was such a sweet little girl and adventurous 'til the end. I had to put her to sleep a few years ago at the age of 11 from complications of diabetes, which we fought for 5 years with insulin shots. It was truly the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. There will never be another like her for me.

My kiddos have been shivering at the recent cold snap here in Texas. My DH finally agreed they should have little sweaters to protect them after Maggie could stop shivering the other day. We brought her in after a 10 minute potty break and she shivered for 30 minutes!
Here are the girls in their fetching new Texas A&M sweaters. (This was taken with a camera phone, hope it looks okay).

This is my Ronny... I have him for over 5 years. Two years ago he was stolen but he came home after 3 months... Lessie indead comes home ;)
... I don't know where has the picture disapeard :confused:
Ronny is so handsome!
XRayted, Seychelle, Offthegrid... I'm with you. I get frustrated sometimes because some people don't understand how deeply I feel the loss. It's amazing to think of it, but it has been three years and two months since I lost my best friend of fourteen years. :( I still cry for him at unexpected times, and feel like it was just yesterday that I lost my boy.
I wouldn't trade it for the world, though - he was amazing and enriched my life... I'm convinced that I would not have made it through some rough patches in my life without him.
I understand what you mean, once when I was very sad and I cried for half an hour, my dog came into my room (although he's not allowed to come into house cause of my sisters' baby, and he never does that) and just lied next to me and lick me and that really cheered me up. I got up an started to play with him - I couldn't resist. I don't think that anyone else would have been able to do so at that time.Quote:

beautiful dog, Noodle, great photo too.
What a great picture of your dog. He's beautiful! My brother had a border collie when I was in high school. He was a wonderful dog and soooo smart. His name was Studley.
