This thread has a definite CUTENESS OVERLOAD!
All these sweet snoots and soulful eyes.....

Apparently, you didn't look at Bizkit

Thanks a lot Zen, my co-workers are all wondering what the howling is about.

Roadie Gal, I used to have a sheltie named Kelly. She was so sweet. My little niece called her "the following dog". I miss her so much!

You guys all have such cute pets. I really have to upload some pictures of my own two. I almost adopted another cat from my veterinarian last week--they take in animals from a local shelter that have been scheduled for euthanasia. I'm still thinking.

Yeah - poor pooch must have a headache.
My dog Nala chases rabbits in her sleep, but nothing more than a little paw action. That doggie must be after a whole bunch of bunnies!


As for renaming... Discovered that one dog I adopted responded to "coos" which was Apache for dog. So I had a dog named "Dog". I renamed her "Branwen," figured being named for the sister of an Irish God was much more dignified. She quickly learned her new name, and that meals were scheduled regularily - "Branwen Breakfast!", "Branwen Treat!" "Branwen Dinner!" Miss that silly black pup. She's waiting across the Rainbow Bridge now - playing with some of the other TE pups, kitties, and other fur babies.

I'm certain it's just to dance with them like Snoopy!

Well, I just got back from the vet with the new addition. He tested positive for two tick diseases so with all his meds, blood test, heartworm and adoption fee, this little (27 pounder) red head has cost me $370 today

He still needs to be groomed and then I'll post some pix. So far, Zeus hasn't snapped at him yet and I have him on the leash in the house so I can keep an eye on him.

Congrats! I hope he settles in nicely! I bet your son is dying to come home!

They like to do that to new moms and dads. Congratulations again on your new family member. I am just thrilled for you!

Roadie Gal, when Mr. Sundial comes home I'm gonna share Camerons's picture with him. He just looks so smart sitting there at the top of the stairs.

That makes me think of "free" kittens

Roadie gal--awwwwwwwwww. I could just kiss his little snoot.

Some days I secretly wish for a sheltie.
My first rescued dog was a collie that I named Maggie Rose. She just blossomed after being adopted by a family with 3 little girls that loved to brush her and dress her up.

Heaven to Toby would be a room full of 9 year old girls who would brush him and dress him up in ribbons and just adore him.

We're going to be doing pet therapy with some abused kids next month. He should do great. I may be a bit stressed, but we'll see how it goes.

BTW, he's a collie... all 78 fuzzy pounds of him...

I sure hope Toby doesn't end up like Bizkit

Cameron, my smooth collie, sleeps like that. He's always whimpering and wiggling, and chasing things in his sleep.

A shot of Cameron on guard at the top of the stairs:

Her name is Suggie (Sugarplum). She's a toy fox terrier x Yorkie.

I thought I saw terrier in there. Terriers are so lively

lol to say say the least Zen. She's go soooo crazy around people (out of love) I don't know what to do sometimes! I'm have my newest dog training book in front of me right now.

May you and Suggie have many happy years together Softie.

The nursing home was a huge success. It was dog day - there were 2 other therapy dogs there today (although I don't know why they don't have them come on opposite weekends) and residents relative brought in a dog. The new guy won them over! He sat, shook hands and even sat pretty for treats! he got a little antsie at the end and jumped a bit but that's correctable. He will make a great therapy dog. And I think one of the residents named him - she called him Rusty. When I called B to talk to him and mentioned it he seemed to like it.

I can't wait to get him back tomorrow so they can meet and play!
