Pets - yes

Great diversion.  I love all the pet pictures.  Your dog is very intent - is he looking for dinner?  My dog is with me in my profile picture.  Tri is a sheltie - I've had six of them over the years - love the breed.  He's my bud!

Love the pictures
This is a near post!

Had to put our Sheltie down the beginning of December :-( but now we gained "Simon " a male cat!
He was at Petco and my daughter brought him home.He loves his new beds and sleeping in the front closet
and my dresser. Also likes to drink water from the bathroom faucet.

We believe he has Dexter's spirit. He sniffs like a dog!

It's so nice to have him around but I still miss Dexter.
Those Shelties are very special but he was a little stubborn and unruly. Lol

Don't have pictures on kindle to load.

Great post!

Fuzzy Children

We call our dogs our Fuzzy Children. We would be lonely without them.   We went from Poms (show dogs) to our muts. My dog is a Beagle/ Chihuahua mix. She is smart, and active.  Laurie's dog is a Pekingese mut, we call him our pekamut. He is just a ball of love. He wants to please, and dislikes when everthing is not peaceful. He brings back the peace. 

 

We are Dog nuts, also.  I take my dog everywhere with me. I f you do not want my dog, I probably will not be there. Laurie's dog goes with me a lot aso, and if not he is at her feet in her office. When we had our Poms, and my business, My pom Shadow went with to most every studio in LA. I once had a director ask me not to bring Shadow to Warner with me. Only for an VP to tell me the next day, Where is Shadow?  lol   If our pets are well socialized they will belong anywhere one goes.

 

They have been such an emotional support for me while I am sick. They sit with me, and play when I feel up to it. I get them on their daily walks, and that helps me also. 

 

Best ALways,  mike

I couldn't figure how to add

I couldn't figure how to add text. This was a great idea. Sorry about the bad photography. The first is a picture of 3 bay ducks and 3 baby chickens we just got. The second picture is of one of our 2 weimeraners. The third one is a picture of our parrot. You might have noticed him on my shoulder on my avatar.

I've always enjoyed your avatar with your parrot

Also loved seeing your menagerie.  

Best, Vita

Going to try this...

Here is my motley crew:

Buddy - my little red pup I got in 2005 from a home health patient (backwoods family, had about 15 dogs) whose dog had pups - I loved him and watched him from the time he was born. The dad said, "You better take that pup if you want him. I'm going to knock him in the head. We can't feed him." Say no more. Buddy is supposedly part dalmatian, chow, blue heeler, etc. I've got a baby pic and grown up pic of him here.

Rascal is the little Jack Russell that we acquired at a campground in Oklahoma on our way to Texas. He had been dumped there. He was sprayed by a skunk and reeked to high heaven. We took him anyway. This is him getting ANOTHER bath to try to get rid of the smell after we got him.

Varmint is the tortoiseshell kitten that showed up on our back porch half starved. My husband named her when she crawled up his leg and adopted him on the porch. She is lounging in the top of the cat tower in the living room now... life of leisure.

Smokey is the gray one - she was brought to me very sick, eyes glued shut, pneumonia, after her mother was killed when she was five weeks old. She was a fighter - we got her well and she now lives a life of leisure as well.

Juliet is the cream colored cat with the darker markings - she is 15 years old and now diabetic, on insulin twice a day. She is spoiled and lives a life of leisure and eats Fancy Feast because it's low carb.

Spud was the beautiful yellow cat we lost two years ago and still miss terribly. He was rescued as a kitten in 2001.

Taffy was the tiny yellow kitten Spud brought home (his mini-me) one day - when we opened the door to let Spud in, Taffy followed. She was very sick. We tried everything, took her to the vet, got medicine, fed her with a dropper, named her, but she only lived two days. Broke my heart. I never found out where she came from.

The last one is my daughter, her husband and son in a photo booth in November the day we got results that her cancer was "stable." Happy family! Just had to show them off too.

Sorry I posted so much and so many pics - this has been a much needed diversion for me!

Sandy

P.S. Edit: Where did my photos go??? Oh... I missed a step - inserting them! Fixed now.

 

You've got a great brood Sandy

Especially loved the last one with your daughter.  Such a brilliant picture - so happy for you and your family.
