Colby- My Nanny and Pawpaw had a cat named DC (D@mn Cat) for close to 20 years. He *adopted* them (umm my Pawpaw fed it) and got his name because my Pawpaw would say "Go away D@mn Cat" when my Nanny was around. My Pawpaw loved animals, but didn't want her to know he was adopting the kitten himself!
Boots is a doll. I love Boxers and Rotts, what a precious baby!

Here's a picture of our current two dogs. The black one is a long haired GSD and the little one is 1/2 boxer and lord knows what the rest is.
Hope this works. This is one of my "guys," a codependent golden retriever. The other photo would not load for some reason. By the way, I'm loving seeing your pets; they have caused me to smile quite a bit this morning.

Our DC got her name similarly. My mom's (unaltered) Siamese was the mother, and DC was a horrible little kitten. Every time she got near my mom, she'd do something totally obnoxious like climb up her legs Needless to say it wasn't long before she was adorned with her name.
Boots is a big baby. She curls up in what must be doggy fetal position all the time. She loves to run, tongue flapping in the wind
This is Jack, my four and a half year old Australian Shepherd. He is my running/hiking/snow-shoeing buddy who loves nothing better than riding in the back of my pick-up, or chasing his Frizbee, or his ball, or his squeaky toy. Nope, he's not spoiled either!

Hey Tater, my golden is named Jack too! Both of our dogs have "people" names -- Sam and Jack.

Gizmo (Gizmo Bear Webster) is our soon to be 10 year old Pomeranian.
Kasey (Princess Kassopeia du Bear Webster) is my Coffee Cup Pom-
Other folks have teacup poodles- what's wrong with a Coffee cup pup?
Kasey will be 3 months old on thursday. She loves her big brother and he's her favorite toy. Gizzie does what every big brother is supposed to do with his annoying baby sister- he ignores her as long as he can until he has just snaps.
Kasey is a Lance Armstrong fan- at just 1 pound, possibly his smallest
As I was driving home from Alabama with her, I ran out of fingers for her to
gnaw on so I gave her a LiveStong bracelet- it's now hers.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Hi Everyone!
COLBY -- I found the catnip "blankets" pictured with our kids at Hannaford Super Market about a year ago. You can try this website
http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/Shop.cfm?N=2002
and see if they have something like it. (I get their catalog - they have some wonderful sales on stuff to spoil your kids ).
I also saw them at Petco awhile back, too. There was also a company called "fatcat" which has some cat/dog chew toys & a "scratchy" catnip pad.... But, I couldn't find the site when I searched for it ....
Hope that helps.
I LOVE ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS THAT ARE PICTURED ON THIS THREAD -- KEEP THEM COMING !!!
Peace & Love,
Denise

oh my gosh... you're all making it SO DIFFICULT for me I know when my old Pug Winston dies, that I will get another dog. For me, it's a given to share my home again... and Magnus will need company when I'm at work.
That being said, I have been interested in possibly getting a bigger dog that I can walk with...
I have been looking at several breeds on Petfinder... I don't need a purebred so a mix is fine too. I love the look of masked dogs, so the Boxers appeal to me... but I see all those muscles and get a little nervous about whether I can handle the training etc... same with Rotts... man, what gorgeous dogs... but SO strong...
and I LOVE that Irish Terrier!!! Have also considered Bearded Collies... ah heck, who am I kidding... I'm considering most all of them... I know I'll rescue... just a matter of who and what breed or mix of breeds... sigh...
anyway, right now, thanks to you all, I want one of everything please.
