Meet my puppy - and show me your pets!

This is Sophie Grace, my bestest Girlfriend! She was 9 mo. old in this photo but she still looks the same at 8 yo. She's with me 24/7...Oh, the things she could tell!



We also have Chico, he's his Daddy's boy! He's 10yo now


And then there's Gringo, the typical ratty little brother! I don't have a photo of him by himself but this one is very typical of him!

I have been really bad at taking pics of my babes, I will post when I get digital copies from my friend who comes over a lot and is better. For now, I have two wonderful rescues, Freddie is a 30-ish lb Spaniel mix and Patsy is a 6 lb terrier-chewie-maltie-kittie-lemur-flying squirrel mix. She adores her big brother with all her heart, unfortunately it often evidences as chewing his ears/leg/tail with great gusto. Luckily, Fred is a saint.

Arent these your dogs NA?


<runs away cackling>

Aww cute. I have a yorkshire terrier and he is the clingiest dog you'll ever meet! Will post some pics up

No, silly Sea, Freddie is much cuter! Actually, I have no idea what they really look like. I think they are ravishingly beautiful, but I honestly cannot look at them objectively. Or any dog, really.

And Fireball has kissable lips, I can tell!

I'm glad you said it, so I feel like less of a weirdo for kissing him on the mouth all the time... Haha

I kiss my dogs on the mouth. Other people are really grossed out by it, though.

StacySpy, those goats are giving me happiness tingles!

KristaMarie, those forehead wrinkles! I would be forever scratching them.

not_ally, mouth kisses are cool over here too, but my real guilty pleasure is smelling my dog's paws. *full weirdo alert* they smell like corn chips.

Here's Greta; we took her in at about 9 months old and she's now almost 8 years! Her favorite activity is barking until you get off the couch to see if her water bowl is empty, and then stealing your warm spot.

ETA: please ignore the mouth foam and tongue dirt; she's not rabid I swear! We were playing frisbee with my parent's lab Babe

I love kissing their paws too, corny smell and all! What a great, sweet smile. No guile with dogs, the wonderful what you see is the wonderful what you get.

ETA: I wish you could/would take pics of my dogs, that is a great photo. You must have some good skills there!

Awww BlackDog! I love her! Everyone's pet's are adorable (obviously!), but I'm a sucker for bullies

I wonder what people think of when they hear me talk to my dogs. Eg, " Pats, I know that we live in LA, but looks will not get you everywhere, you have to be a good citizen. And STOP humping your brother!"

Bahahah. Now I can't wait to see them, NA!

Thanks! They're near and dear to my heart... They're Nigerian Dwarf goats, and full grown are less than 24" tall... they have HUGE personalities though

OH my gosh, Stacyspy! Those baby goats are tugging at my heart strings!

My best friend, back in England, lives on a little farm and they have baby goats with the little toggle-y bits under their chins (I can't remember the name!) and they're just the cutest little things. I'm actually about to start working on the dairy farm that my boyfriend manages, and although the calves are kinda cute, they really do pale in comparison to baby goats!

Dear goodness all these loves are killing me. ❤❤

Aww Greta is such a pretty pibble! I used to have a brindle pit and she would make the same happy smile.

snappyllama - I must say, Mr. Plumpers is the best name I have ever heard. We used to have a rat named Captain Noodles, but Mr. Plumpers has him beat!

Love this thread!!

Puppies and bunnies and goats, oh my!!!

Here's my baby, Buster

This thread is really making me smile. So many beautiful fur babies out there!

Here's my Molly cat

What wonderful furry babies. Here's my current love little Minnie

OMG, I love all of your furry buddies! In general, I like most animals better than I like most people. I've always had pets, currently two cats. Sweet Mimi, found in a parking lot. We don't know exactly how old she is, but at least 14, and recently diagnosed with hyperthyroid, heart murmur, not many teeth left, but doing well on her new medication. She is the sweetest cat I've ever owned. I'm not sure that I believe in reincarnation, but sometimes she stares into my eyes.....really stares hard, and I've found myself asking, "Who are you?" She gives me the feeling that I've known her before.

Then there's Chubasco, Basco for short. I adopted him from the Humane Society because I didn't want Mimi to be lonely when I went to work. Ha! They can't stand each other. After 10 plus years, and they still drive each other crazy. Oh well. Basco has a lot of issues. He's had food issues ever since I got him at 6 months. He's also weird in a lot of other ways. He's terrified of everyone but me and my best friend. Most of my friends have never seen him because he hides until they leave. But with me, he is sweet, affectionate and cuddly. For years, I didn't think could purr, until one day, I had my finger on his throat while he was on my lap, and I felt it....a silent purr!

So here they are, Mimi looking soulful, and Basco, trying to look fierce, not easy to do when you have a pink nose in the middle of your face.
