Show us your pets!

Decided to enter my kids in a local pet photo contest. You can view the entries here:

I entered two photos on August 28, 2008 (right now they are at the top of the second page of entries) -- the two sleeping beagles and the two sitting beagles (the photo I previously posted to this thread). My babies -- Snoopy and Lucy!

My other fav (besides my own, of course!) is the one of the two boxers.

The pic of them sleeping is beyond cute!!!

I vote this the SMILE thread. If you don't break out a huge smile when viewing this thread you're hopeless, LOL.

A must see if you're in a grumpy mood, I love looking at all the beautiful, sweet pets grin~a~licious!

I'm thinking we are pretty lucky to have our critters in our lives, cool beans!

Here's my Ruthie. She's a schizo 2 year old calico. My old neighbor's cat had just had kittens and they were moving. The new place would only let them keep one pet, so if I didn't take her, she would have gone to the pound. The thing was, I was deathly allergic to cats, and to that point had never really been a fan of them. Well a month of constant sneezing and wheezing finally ended, and she has become a source of constant love/frustration/amusement for my entire family. Everyone that has met her has said they've never seen a cat like her. I don't know if that's a good thing or not And the name Ruthie was in honor of my friend who passed away 3 days before they gave my kitty to me.

The first picture is the day I got her. She was so tiny! The second picture was last week, in the spot I've been finding her when I come home. The last picture is also last week, when I picked her up from my aunt's. She makes herself very comfortable wherever she goes

And this is the pose I'm most likely to see her in:

The last pic--LOL!!

All these pet pictures make me wish I had a pet! All we've got is a beta fish, Mr. Fishy, in a 10-gallon tank. I know, Mr. Fishy, real creative...but it's easier than Leviathan, which is what my DH picked out.

But for good measure, here's Carmel, the dog my family got back when I was in high school (and I still think of her as mine, even years later):

There, even got a bike tire in! I liked how lots of people had bikes or parts of bikes in pictures of their pets.


*Swoon* I love goldens!


Goldens are so tolerant...

I have a new puppy! My partner and I got her a couple of days ago, and we're still waiting for inspiration on a name. She's a long-haired dachshund, and she'll be on the small side when she grows up. She's about 5 months old. These were from the first day, when she was still trying to figure out what I was up to, exactly. "Uh, who are you again??"




This is an updated picture of Chili, the senior dog. He's 11 now. He still thinks the puppy is a pest, but they're starting to wag their tails at each other. We have hope. He loves his soft blanket...


Oh, and the cat. His name is Jazz. He's about 14 years old now. When we walk the two dogs, Jazz comes along. He's friends with some of the other dogs in the neighborhood, so it works out, but it must be a sight for the neighbors - two dogs on leashes, and a cat following behind.
