Crossing my fingers. When we got our cat Tortilla from the shelter I was so worried she would be gone before I got off work. I love the breed she is (manx) it is rare to see one pop into a shelter. She had been there a month, I couldn't believe she was passed over that many times she must have been waiting for me.Quote:

Aggie_Ama, thanks for the explanation about Jens' puppy cut. Makes sense!
Ollie is an 8 mos old Saint Bernard mix. We adopted him in December. I think that picture was taken in Feb or Mar so he is a bit bigger now but not as big as a full Saint Bernard would be at this age, only about 75 pounds.Quote:

This is Ghost who has squeezed himself between a couple of throw pillows on the sofa. It is exactly 10 months that he's been with us after being abandoned by his owners. Sadly, there's a lot of that that goes on in my area of the city. Bone heads. :mad:
**Sorry so large. Computer keeps freezing when trying to scale it down.**
Such a sweet kitty, thank you for sharing! I have a special place for gray cats for some reason. It sounds like Ghost found the right home :cool:Quote:

Nancielle, Ghost is adorable, and he's lucky to have found a home with you. I hope whoever abandoned him steps on a piece of lego barefoot every day for the rest of their life

Add me to the list that love Blue/Grey cats. When I was younger my Nanny bought me a cat fancy magazine subscription but all I liked was the Russian Blues. Now I am partial to the Manx breed which is how my baby Tortilla got rescued!
This is Zoe, my rescue pup. She came from a serious hoarding situation last year. Was rescued at 4 weeks of age and I was able to get her home with me at 8 weeks. The original vet who looked her over said she would have died within a week. I am so lucky to have her, she has truly enriched my life (and pushed me to be a better dog trainer because she isn't easy! :rolleyes:)
She was sleeping in the sun...

On our hike yesterday, all legs. She has a racer's body... and she sure can fly!

On her "princess bed"... two huge dog beds on a comfy arm chair and a comforter. (and I bet she can still feel a pea!)

Zoe's a gorgeous dog. Good on you for giving a good home to a pup that much in need.
Zoe looks so sweet! I have a soft spot for black dogs, especially with floppy ears. I'm so glad she found the perfect home with you.
We got him! He's absolutely a riot. We both had the day off yesterday so we picked him up at noon when the shelter opened and played all afternoon. I can't believe how fast he wormed his way into our home and our hearts.
This is Frisbee.

He loves hanging out on the ledge that runs around our living room and bedroom. It's at ground level so lots of birds and squirrels to look at.
Frisbee looks quite at home!
Aw, Frisbee has an adorable black nosetip :) :) I love the way he's gracefully folded himself to maximize his use of the shelf.

I'm sad that my work computer won't show me most of the pictures posted but Frisbee is adorable and looks like a ton of fun :p
As far as my pets go I have a Chinchilla "Mouse Mouse!" <-- Thank my dad for the name

A pony, well, a horse actually. Honey as a 14 yr old TWH, She was rescued from a meat truck and donated to a rescue facility where the owner thought she was too dangerous to keep as a program horse (that's what she rehabed horses for) so she thought of the crazyest person she could think of and that's how I ended up with her! She's actually quite sweet 98% of the time.. It's just the other 2 :rolleyes:

A Doggie, Romeo, or Romie or Romey, He was a drop off, that was a total pain in the neck, no training what-so-ever and adout as easy to train as a mexican jumping bean, after trying to re-home him for about a year and having him returned after only a day or so on multiple occasions, I gave up and kept him much to my parents dis-pleasure :) He's the love of my life and a wonderfully obedient companion most of the time, He's also a great trail runner and Mtn biking dog, dispite getting fatter and fatter daily he still keeps up lol

Romo as a puppy :)

I have many more critters up in PA at my parents farm but these are my babies that I get to spend every day with :) Sorry for this being so long!
.... none of those are showing on my computer :/
Yay for Frisbee! He immediately got comfortable, Tortilla took about 24 hours.
I can see Minnie Mouse, she is a doll. My cousin needed to rehome is Chinchilla but DH said no, luckily he found it a happy home.
I was all prepared for him to hide for a few days too. But we let him out of the container and he walked the perimeter of every room of the house smelling, then sat down to play. Which he's now been doing for 24 hours. :)Quote:

How old is Frisbee and how long had he been waiting for you at the shelter?
Tortilla was there a month (and it the kill shelter), she must have just been waiting for us! She was a year old and surely overlooked because her former owner declawed her. Our street is busy so I didn't want an outside cat to be stressed over the speeding teenagers. Funny is she will go sit on the back patio but won't go further. She comes back when you call her, she is the perfect indoor cat!
We're not sure of his age, will find out more when we go to the vet, but he's full grown yet still a kitten so I'm guessing around a year. I think he'd been there for about three months which just kills me to think about. I can't believe he'd been passed over because he's great. Super playful, yet super cuddly. Can you tell I'm still in bliss-shock :)Quote:

Me neither, other than "mouse mouse" :(Quote:

I'm not sure if any of you remember the emotional roller coaster I went on last summer looking for a cat for my parents. I was finding the process very difficult. There were so many lovely cats at the SPCA and I could only take one...
Anyways, long and short, since my Dad passed away in November, my mother's been going back to Japan for extended periods of time so I have Bun-bun (formerly Boo, my dad changed it) with me. He's sweet but VERY skittish and the last time I tried to take a picture he quickly ran away after seeing the camera. I was able to sneak this one. He loves cats and has really taken to my male cat, Bun worships him. Bun-bun's on the right, left is my Morley.

How sweet Badger! They look like the best of friends.
AWWW, how sweet.
I've been thinking about getting Calypso a playmate. She's enjoyed my being home all week, and seems to think my home PT time is "catch the foot" play time :p. Wonder how she'll do when I go back to work tomorrow.
I do remember the roller coaster you were on last summer regarding the cat.
Bun Bun has the same coloring as the cat I recently lost. The two of them look very content together. :)
Cuteness squared :)
That's so sweet, Badgercat! I wish my cats would cuddle together.
And great photo, Dr. Doo! I love grey cats; they're so regal.
So cute! And tiny. Reading the comments the little squirt was fished out of a stream :rolleyes:. Some rotten person tried to drown it.Quote:
