OT - show us your WS furbabies and baby-babies!

16 years ago

Didn't we used to have a thread of furbaby pics? Well, allow me to get the party started with photos of my non-plant darlings. :-)

This is the dog who formerly chewed on empty milk jugs, but knows not to even *think* of touching these..

This is my 5-month old girl, whose first word will probably be "compost". Hee hee!

What a cutie pie (your daughter, though the pup is sweet too!) I sure do miss those snuggly footed pajama babies! They just don't make em to fit my 18 year old daughter (5' 11" ) and 15 year old son (6"1') or I'd insist! (smile)

She'll be a great little helper with the jug prep next year!

Here's our pet rescue dog from last March...I've written about her before...her name is Nellie and she is about 2 yrs. old now...we gave her my Sept b'day because they didn't know for sure...she was given away because she was having pups born last Dec. She is such a good dog and has become a part of our family so quickly! I think she actually "adopted" us...as she loved the kids/grandkids (babies to adults)immediately upon meeting. She is boxer/American Staffordshire Terrier mix...she lives inside with us...loves her cushy bed on the LR floor & also kennels when we leave the house. These pics taken the other day when we walked in the pines...before we got these frigid temps! Got to love having these furrie friends! Jeanne S.

Thanks! It was quite an undertaking. I have a week off in April. I plan on enjoying the newly planted gardens and I have one more bed to do. Will probably also make some trellises out of copper pipes. I'll post pics if I do.

I'm not sure what it is about the robe. It's black silk with polka dots. You can see it in the pic of Molly with her harness on. She only attacks it if I'm wearing it. When I took it off she just laid down next to it and didn't even seem to notice it was there. Very weird. The stapelia is also called a Starfish flower. It has other names as well, carrion flower, because the blooms stink. My little ones really don't smell bad but I bet this big one will. lol

Thank you all for your kind words and sentiments. Not sure how DS1 is taking it. He got REALLY angry when we told him what needed to be done. Poor kid. He's 6 in 2 days. He sort of vascillates between angry and goofing about it. He still talks about our 1 dog that we had that got cancer when DS1 was only 2yrs old and had to be put down a few months later. Talks like that dog is still w/ us right there in the room. I'm going to tkae him down to the Kitty Cottage to volunteer petting time to all of the cats that need homes. Then when one strikes his fancy we'll adopt it. It's quiet in the house w/ only 1 dog and 1 cat!

nan-6161,
my kid won't wear any PJs to bed and he's just 5!!
motria,
what a cutie! I miss those days were they stay where you put them and they don't sass back!!LOL!!
Brendan goes to school saying words like "statification",echinacea",and "compost". I would worry about him being labled weird or nerdy but he's been to see the principal more times than his brothers combined,(they're 13 and 17)and he just started school!

Brandy - my baby usually stays where you put her, but in this case she flopped over a couple times before I got the photo. ;-)

Nan - Maybe it's not the same as an infant's footed sleeper, but next winter you could get your kids a union suit. I had one in high school and thought it was very cool and retro!

Wendy - Maggie looks like great company in the garden. Cute!

Fun thread. Cute kids and dogs. My youngest is 38. Just lost my cat Lucy in August of 2005 at age 21 and Tasha about age 16 April 25 of this year. This one I felt sorry for and made friends with him. He only seems to trust me, and sneaks up on me when I'm working outside and plops in the dirt near me, doesn't feel threatened by my gardening tools (or camera lol). I thought he was gone for good as he disappeared for a whole week when Tasha died, but she was an indoor cat and didn't like him. I put away his bowl and the food out for the birds. Then there he was again. He's like that. He looks more mature now, he must have been a young cat that summer, homeless, or it is possible he has another home, but I rather doubt it.

This photo was taken in August of 2006. When it got cold I scooped him up and made him come in, so he does stay in more when the weather is bad. I named him Sparky and got him his shots.

I read here obsessively but don't post a lot. Couldn't resist this thread though. Here is my gorgeous little shadow hamming it up for the camera as I'm out checking my oriental poppy for new blooms. (Wasn't ws though...)

I'm definately not showing this thread to my kids, they will be begging for a pet! lol They are all adorable too.

brandymulvaine, I know, I'm spoiled, I live in the bay area, zone 9 I guess, and it's pretty much short weather all year round almost, especially our heat wave last week that got us into the high 90s inside our non-a/ced house!!!

Although this pic doesn't show my girls outside in the yard, they do love to be outside. They claimed a spot in the back garden as theirs, so I had to finally give up and fence off an area, take out the plants and put a load of sand in the spot so that they could 'go' in their own private doggy bathroom. I am trying to put some tall plants in front so they can have some privacy although I am not sure they care! :)
As far as 'baby-babies' mine are all grown up.
