LOLOL..... Just a matter of time before we'd be posting pics of our fur-families. Stoney.....I LOVE your big dogs!!!! They would be such a deterrant for burlars!!! They obviously aren't rescue, cause they're so rare. Good for you for taking in so many dogs....

I'll get my pics on here a little later.

Beautiful dogs, love the bathtub shot and the yorkie shot.

I got Elvira from a rescue society 8 years ago Christmas. She is the first inside dog I have ever had. She is quite the character. My stoic DH melts when he plays with her. I think she will be a puppy forever.
Clare

She is also good at catching gophers and moles. One of my favorite shots of her.

She loves persimmons!

Doing what she does best - sleeping.

Stoneybalony, your dogs are amazing! I'm glad that the breeder decided to carry on with the line.

Here are my dogs.

All the puppies except Ginger (who came a little later) - including the ones who still live with my ex-husband:

Tessa (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Pekinese mix):

Lexie (Tibetan Spaniel):

Ginger (Pekinese mix):

The 4 'step sisters' again - Upper left is Sophie (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) then Tessa (Cavalier/Pekinese mixe), lower left Lexie (Tibetan Spaniel) then Ellie May (Boston Terrier):

Tessa, Lexie, and Ginger are all rescue dogs. I've had Tessa and Lexie since February 2008 and Ginger since April 2008. Sophie was a puppy that I bought from my neices when they bred her mother and raised one litter of puppies as a 4-H project. Her mother was spayed right after that. Ellie May was purchased as a puppy by my ex-husband before I married him. She has been blind since she was about a year and a half old when she had both retinas detach. I'd have brought Sophie with me when Tom and I divorced except that Ellie wouldn't have know what to do without her. She brought light and joy into Ellie's life and I would never separate them!

Here's my Patches that left us June 2005. She was 13.

Here's Molly, who we adopted from the shelter in 2002 or 2003. Her ears were cold, so I put socks on 'em. :) She's a dachshund/beagle mix.

This is my fuzzball Lexi. We adopted her from the shelter August 2005 after Patches went on. She's a German Shepherd/Chow mix.

This is a picture of Molly & Lexi taking over my bed.

Here's Katie. My mom picked her up from the parking lot of where she worked. No one claimed her, so she's been with us since early 2007.

Here's all of them at Halloween. Oh did they love me. :)

That's all of my clan. I'm going to put some pictures up of my sister's dogs in a minute or so. :)

Just posted these on my facebook page. Hopefully, you will be able to see them!

Here is a link that might be useful: cats in snow

These are my sister's dogs...which are my dogs as well. :)

Here's Jeffery.

Here's Bessie...and do NOT be fooled by that face! lol

Mack, the Wheaten terrier.

He's extremely good-natured and a perpetual two year old.

Loves everybody. Terrible watch dog - he would welcome in and show the robbers where the valuables are!

Janie, your black and white cat looks just like my daughter's Darby! She also has a long haired tuxedo cat with a white spot on the end of his nose... named Bugger :-)

Sammie was rescued through Kansas City Affenpincher Rescue via Dallas to Houston. He tries to imitate Homey. But, he just can't grawl. Sammie's mission in life is to keep squirrels out of the yard. But, he loves to chase butterflys.

Pawle the Pug was to be a play mate for energetic Sammie. She loves to play Soccer with the Grands and is "always" hungry or into mischief. She plays chase with Sammie and they love to wrestle in the freshly raked leaves.

Here is my sweet pup, Declan. He is very difficult to photograph because he is sooooo black, he just morphs into a black blob. This was taken at Christmas this past year.

stoneybaloney.....those shepherds are absolutely exquisite.
Everyone has such adorable furbabies!!!!
{{gwi:1606384}}

Such cute pets!! Sorry to hear about Woofman Stoney. He was a beauty.

Here is Winston in a bowl just this morning.

A lazy 17 year old.. Juliet aka JuJu.

and Kobi.

This post just makes my day. Looking at all of these fabulous pets is so much fun.

Stoney, I didn't know Woofman died. I'm very sorry. He was such a beauty.

Here's some of mine past and present. These first two pictures are Bear. He left us June 9, 2006. I still miss him more than words can say.

This is Teddy. He was the sweetest boy. He had to be put down when he was about 12 years old, Dec. 2, 2005.

This is Bo. He literally walked into our house one morning when we lived out in the country. We couldn't find his owners so I took him to the vet to have him checked out. He was an older little guy. He needed 6 teeth pulled and had to have an eye removed. He only lived with us a few months before he died, but in his last few months he had a loving home and was well cared for.

Here are Buddy and Penny. Buddy is the black dog who roamed the streets of Memphis until my sister told me about him. Penny had been abused by a previous owner.

Here's our problem child,Luther, but he makes up for all the destruction he causes by keeping us laughing at his antics.

Here's my motley crew all together. I believe in letting sleeping dogs lie.

Oh, oh, oh! I love everyone's furbabies. Those tundras are magnificant!

Here are my 3 grandchildren.

First is our daughter's "Dinkster" the Schnoodle

This is our Son-in-law's "Stuart" a rescue. We think he is a Daschund/Corgi mix.

{{gwi:1606410}}

And "Ruby", also belongs to our Son-in-law

Oh these pics are hilarious and adorable. Stoney I'm still in awe of your dogs! Obviously they can do anything they please, being the size they are!!!

Here are my kids.
Smudge is 10 now. I think he's got a lot of Maine Coon in him

This is Bud (3) who we got from my parents. He was too active for them, loves being up "high". Imagine her shock when she walked into the bedroom on morning and he's up on TOP of the door that was ajar, looking down at her. She near died LOL
He is just one cool cat. This is his favourite sleeping pose.
{{gwi:76625}}

And Roxie who we got as a kitten from the shelter. I fell right in love with her eyes and colour. She's about 6 months old there, and is now 1 1/5 years I think. She imitates Bud. He's her" big brother" but she has the long hair like Smudge. sigh...

Here's Teddi the Russian Tortoise she's been with us 3 years now, and was a rescue.

{{gwi:1469982}}

Here she is laying on my 11 yr olds chest. See how her shell flairs out and has alot of yellow in between the shutes..that's part of what happens when you feed them the wrong things and you keep them in the wrong enclosures.

{{gwi:1417091}}

I don't have any dog shots on the computer.

Oh my gosh, I love every single one of these babies! See, that's our problem. We want to take them all in, and we just can't. Especially the yorkies, each one has a health issue of some kind, so the $$ really add up.

So, here are the yorkies ...

Bugs was our first rescue. I got him through PetFinders, after my Stoney died. We still had two other yorkies and Woofman, but I was empty and needed someone to fill that void. His main focus, every single day, is to torment a tundra.

Here he is sleeping on one of the tundra's pillows ...

And here, he's on top of a tree stump. He likes to be as tall as the big dogs whenever possible.

Tobie is next ... he still thinks Mysti is his baby. Here, he's chasing her and Woofman. Trust me ... they're just PRETENDING to be afraid, to make him feel important.

He likes to cuddle up to Mysti at naptime.

Scrappy and Patsy are an "item." They like to sleep together and they're always doing the kissy-face thing.

Molly is a Diva. She is the Queen. Ask her about that, and she will tell you.

Here, Molly has convinced Daddy that she needs a ride ... she has deformed back legs, and when she came to live here she could barely walk. Now she's all over these two acres, all by herself!

Punkin Pie is also known as PITA ... as in Pain In The A... she's miss hyper-yorkie and is kinda like a pinball, always bouncing around. She loves that she always has someone to play with.

We never did find out who killed the squirrel and stashed it in a doggie bed. But it's Scrappy's bed, so either he's a better hunter than we think (he's blind in one eye and the squirrel was bigger than him) or he was framed.

When you live with us, you must suffer all sorts of indignities. Like dressing up in elf hats and sitting in a sleigh for-EVER while mom takes pictures.

This is Precious/aka/Puddy...we got her from a friend of my sons...she's almost 3...

Mamagirl...another rescue...she does what she wants...when she wants and where she wants...hubster fixes her blankey spots...she finally likes him after 9 years!

This is Abby...she's a Blue Merle Collie going on 4!

This is Gabie...a sable collie..he just turned 8!

This is Duncan...another sable collie...he'll be 10 in March...pretty sedate but he always has been...just a big ole bunch of love!

This was Mosey...we lost in in Aug/05...still really miss him...

Our first collie...Alliegirl...She's been gone 9 years and I still haven't let any animal get as close to my heart as she did...

Our first doggies...Shelties...Gabe, the sable was at our wedding...they've been gone for years but will always have a special place in our hearts...

There are some really beautiful animals on here! Love to see them!

I got Kelsey the bed last month to keep her off of the hardwood floor and the cement when she's outside. She has arthritis and it hurts her to lay on the cold things. Dudley immediately took over when I took it out of the box. I ordered him one that week because I didn't have the heart not to. This is how they slept until his bed came a week later! They didn't seem to mind.....but they sure enjoyed it when they got it all alone!

Can I join in please?

Here are my two babies:

This is Sam and Patsy. They are both Shelties. Sam is an AKC certified good citizen. Patsy is a dumb blonde who enjoys watching TV. Although of different parents and a year apart in age, they are best buddies.

This is our big boy Sam all by himself in the garden.

We are down to just 1 pet. Lola is about 2 1/2 yrs old. We got her when she was 4 days old.

Omigosh, these are wonderful!! What beautiful animals, all of them. I have to say it's not truly sad looking at the photos of the ones who have passed on, because it's so clear how deeply they were loved on this earth.

Here's a picture I took of Wolfy yesterday. Jill and I always said we loved his feet and his eyebrows. A large Husky-Shepherd, he's 13 years old and severely arthritic (takes an expensive pill but still hobbles). He's always been such a lover, though. A sweet dog, through and through.

I'll be back tomorrow with more of the gang.

All of your animals are wonderful, but what comes through most is how loved they are. Very heart-warming. Many thanks to all of you for sharing, & special thanks to stoneybaloney for starting such a great thread.

Thelma the Chinese Waterdragon - she was just a baby here. They can grow to 3feet.

Jodi-

I love when everyone post photos of their pets.
Here's my furbabies.

Noodles a year old Bengal

Scamp,8 month old, diluted tortie

Spook 9 years old

Ranger 3 year old

Hobo 8 years old

I Just love this thread. This must be the 4th or 5th time I've pulled it up to look at all the great pics.

you too, Jel?? I hate to see it fall off the front page! lol

I love to see everyones pets.. and I think I've finally learned how to post a picture. This is Tasha. She's a rescue kitty that we adopted when she was 6. It's hard to believe that was 4 years ago..She's a sweetheart.

Iris

What sweet pets!!

Okay. Had to post one. This is Sparky. He is one of those Easter chicks that are dyed colors and sold at Easter time in some places. Most don't survive and those that do...no one wants them and they end up at the shelter. He fights the duck that I have, so I have to keep him "staked out", but he handles it very well.

The cat in the background, is Cloud. My friend found him Christmas, a year ago, near one of the big shopping malls.
He had a collar and a name tag...but no phone number. Nice to know his name, but a phone number would have been helpful. I never could find his owner. She put him in a room with some raccoons and they bit him and the mark on his rump is where he had an abcess. I rescued him from her, and took him to the vet...and he had to have his tail amputated too, so he looks sort of like a Manx.

This is my big boy T.C. Paws named because of his extra toes on his front feet. He walked into my heart 15 years ago in Aug. and has been there every since. The vet said he was about 4 months old then. Someone had apparently dropped him off at the school across the road from me and he eventually made it over to my place and decided to stay. He loves boxes either to sit on or in.

Well, I wasn't going to post here since I had posted in the other thread.... but.... OK, gotta show off a bit.

Here's KC, aka Mad Manx Used to be "Krazee Cat" but she's really calmed down, learned to relax as you can see and is a very loving and loveable cat. She's very quiet well-groomed, easy to take care of and low maintenance.

Sunny, aka Bony Tony on the other hand... well, he's got a more "bachelor" attitude, more boisterous, not bothered that he emits odors, and well, is a little more high-maintenance. But he too has calmed down a lot and learned to relax. Now he really appreciates a human to warm his paws. Poor scrawny fella doesn't have a lot of insulation! He has been able to get over his bashfulness and ask, well, demand things a bit more. But he's also learned there's rules and abides by them.

Both are rescues and both came from some abusive homes. Each had personality disorders from the trumatic lives they had. But, they've both become affectionate, gentle, playful and fun to have around. They don't like to share, but when there's a bird or two at the feeder, well... any port in a storm as they say!

I'm really proud of how they've turned out in a relatively short period of time. They both had sort of a rough life and seem to appreciate having a better home. Even if they have to share it!

I didn't realize the shot of Sunny was so blurred. Sorry about that. And I guess I should put a "wide load" sticker on KC's rear end in the bottom picture, shouldn't I? :)

We have two pets.......First there's Molly...our Aussie We got her right after we moved back to TX. She was about 4 months old when we got her ...

{{gwi:1606488}}

and then there's Charlie...our adopted stray..he was about 4 months old when we snatched him from a woodpile where his mother had him.

{{gwi:1606489}}

This is our daughters dog, but she lives at home so she is mine too! One of the most stuborn dogs I have met, yet so loving..... sigh

Here's Troy, Italian greyhound. One year old
