Show us your pets!

First photo is Emily, our 14 yo tabby from RSPCA... also known as "the dreaded moose" and called "the dreaded moose" more often than not! The Dreaded Moose has serious attitude!

Second photo is Max, our 7yo ginger tabby... also known as Maxi-de-moo-moo He is unbelievably soft! Max is afraid of everything during the day, but afraid of absolutely nothing at night .

Last photo is my 3yo heeler x husky (and Avatar) - Holly aka The Meister (dont know why). Holly LOVES everyone and everything she meets... instantly and forever. She has 2 speeds... flat out and stop. The photo below is obviously at "stop"

Makes me realise we almost never call our pets by their names just the silly names we manage to come up with.

Basso is about 8 years old and Bianchi is a little over a year old and she is a mix of Jack Russell and Poodle. They are great company.

...and Basso is a DACHSHUND! YAY! She looks like my pup growing up, Schatzi. My avatar is not a picture of Schatzi, but the closest I could find (actually, snapdragen found her for me!) of Schatzi's color, size, and spirit.

When I get over my lazy self, I will scan and upload pix of my kitties. This thread is a delight.

Here are 2 of my 4:

Here they are, my babies. Ariel has silky sepia-grey long hair with fuzzy light grey hair underneath. She's a fluff ball. She's also a scientist, with a concentration in gravity. She causes things to submit to gravity, and observes them very closely. She jumps down and sniffs them carefully to gather more data. Then she walks away, no doubt to write up her report. This first picture was taken when she was pretty young. They're both about 17 now. Isaac is my snuggle-bug little guy. I got him when Ariel decided to take a stroll outside without mentioning it to me, and was gone for 7 awful days. When she was found, she'd lost 20% of her body weight. She *runs* from open doors now. She despised Isaac for about 6 months, tolerated him for about 2 years, and they adore each other now. They are my littlest hearts.

Here are my kitties exploring my then brand-new bedside table. Mira is the Siamese-type thing on the bottom, and Ri (short for Orion, but alas, a fierce hunter he is not) is on the top. He's very sweet, but kind of a wuss. They have two states: running around like crazy and sleeping. Most of my pictures are of them sleeping.



I got them separately, but they are only about 2 months apart in age. They're about 2.5 years old now. They still play like kittens, and do have their tiffs, but mostly they seem to like each other.

Ri looks so much like my Isaac in that bottom picture!

My baby, we adopted her when she was 6 weeks old. That was 6 years ago. She actually she thinks she is the mom to the 5 of us, it is hysterical.

Here's my two, Casey (Bullmastiff) & Brittany (Cocker Spaniel). Here's the two of them in their chair. Casey is 4 1/2 months old in the first pic and just turned 1 yr in the second. The last is Casey when he was just about 2 years old. Of course, at 140` lbs now, Casey has outgrown the chair and poor Brittany is just too old to get in it.

Last winter, my brother-in-law (who thinks I am an idiot for treating my dogs like children) built a set of carpeted steps so my two older dogs could still get up into their favorite chair.

peanut use to fit infront of my computer, then moved on to a chair, which she still thinks she can fit on, but she basically owns the love seat. casey curls up just like peanut does. maybe we should get them together.

This was a challenge. Rats do *not* sit still well. He made it for the camera, so I quick got the shot. Believe it or not, this was the best one of about 12.

I love this thread! So many beautiful animals, and some that are just plain loveable.

Here's my furry group:

Leia is our blue-eyed girl (it's hard to get her to look at the camera). She's a Siberian Husky we adopted from a shelter in Missouri eight years ago. She's sometimes my training partner - when I can keep up.



Dharma is eight years old. She's our little Miss Priss - seldom lets the guys touch her but she's in my lap all the time.



Finally our little goofball, Snowshoe, is four years old. He sleeps in the bathroom sink a lot. We'll walk in when it's dark, flip on the light, and he'll look at us - "What are YOU doing in here?"



Ah, the hair, the wet kisses . . .
