I hope I dont look like my beagle. Round, short, with oversized ears! Cute in her, not so much in humans, lol.

I don't think we look like any of our animals, but then again, I don't think most people who do, think so either.

singingcrk Angel. well frist one of my horses is Breeze he is in the picture above. He is also blind as a bat at the ripe age of 29. Thus the saying even a blind squirel can find a nut. Breeze shares his pasture with my garden or the other way around. I would only turn himout with a eye on him at all times, but would be out of eye sightwhen was turning the compost pile. That is normallywhen he would hit the goodies. Peas, spinach or what flavorful shallots I had growing. Did I tell you he ate my new gooseberry and current bushes to the ground. Now two things I posted a while ago was on posionous plants site, not a sole picked up on it. you just put in the search either dog or cat or horse or even human and it will pop up what ever is posionous to that animal. Now for horses a great place to even get a idea what they can eat is herbnhorse.com they sell bulk herbs by the lb that are dried, long long list btw. Many flower petals included. I have had horses for over 30 years and not a clue till ws and 2005 they liked tomatoes. I adore tomatoes and sort of went nutty planting way to many seeds. I traded or begged from any one that would trade with me for different tomato seeds. I did alot of research to find good yellow ones and traded for as many as I could. I knew it would work but had not a clue how well. I strongly belive horses loves carrot tops, have yet to see one carrot plant out of all the seeds I planted. See picture of spotted horse aboved, main weeder of carrots, peas and spinach from my property. My property is small and the blind horse has free reign over it. One of my horses will guard anything near his paddock, or eat it and loves to take walks with me to taste test the other tomatoes and found out he liks cosmos flowers /plant and only one type of cukes. I saved the seeds from the cukes he liked and will plant many more of those for him. I do plant alot of grass seeds for these horses and they get bales of hay each day to go with. Have not figured out to to give them some herbs but not whole pots of them yet. I may need to cage in part of my garden to keep one horse and the deer herd out. One day planted out the rest of my containers of ws'ed plants not yet out. Found one horse grazing among them as new treats just planted for him. OUT out of my garden. He hates to get wet so just sounded it by a sprinker hose. Evil grin. that worked to keep him out of my garden most of the summer. How to out fox a blind horse course 101.

danihoney -- My DH is also an adoptee. He was never told and only found out after his adoptive (and emotionally abusive) mother died. Our DS was about nine at the time. It took DH a little time to decide to search. I'd hoped very much he would find a loving birth mom, but she was so mired in her *shame* that she couldn't be forthcoming. She had gone on to marry his birthfather; had two children with first husband and two with birthfather; many grandchildren she was afraid would 'judge' her. However, even in that situation, he did meet his eldest sibling (half-brother) who gave him photos of the family. DH is a virtual twin of the youngest sib, a girl. Even though there was no big welcoming family, DH got what all the adoptees I've worked with got: a sense of who they are via birth and who via adoption; who they LOOK LIKE; and answers direct from the 'horse's mouth' about 'why' they were given up. (Only social workers and adoptive parents use the term 'placed for adoption'. it doesn't feel that way to adoptees and it doesn't feel that way to most birthmoms, either. Adoptees feel abandoned and most birthmoms weren't given the *choice* that 'placement' infers.) Search means flouting a whole society that doesn't want to think about a dark side to adoption, and it means giving up long-nurtured fantasies. Most people I know were strengthened by doing it and having sure knowledge to replace the 'maybe's' -- regardless of what was found. But, it has to be the individual's choice -- much as dear wives or husbands think it would be beneficial. I have been one of few adoptive parents who embraced search. Many were afraid to 'lose' their 'child' or that he or she would be 'hurt' by finding the truth. But, a strange thing happened after search, when the adoptive family almost always became stronger; there was no longer some unknown to fear.

Papa's little darling is a black/tan dachshund girl named Dixie. She is a huntress. After we added the "back forty" to our fenced space, she was enjoying exploring that new and shady locale. However, a week or so ago she disappeared one dark night and did not come when I called her to come in. It is my habit to let the two dogs out for a final business trip before we go to bed, and is usually over in a few minutes. But Dixie does not exactly pay attention to coming back when she gets her nose full of a scent like RABBIT, and we now have a rabbit coming into the garden to eat tasty stuff, and Dixie can track it everywhere it's been. So it was about 11 pm, and I was ready to go to bed. My flashlight batteries were DEAD, so I could not see how to walk in the stubbly field of cut bushes to look for her. Calling her name endlessly that late at night and clapping hands would not be appreciated by neighbors. I looked and looked, and listened for any sounds of her, all to no avail. Nothing. I went out front to the street to see if this little black dog could be out there, again no sign of her. I was sick at heart, because she is not wise to the ways of cars, and will follow her nose without looking up. I could not think about what I'd tell her papa in the morning when he called. So I turned on the front porch light, opened the blinds so I could see if she came up on the stoop, and waited. And waited some more. Around 2 am, there was a little scratch on the front door, and I looked that way to see her panting tongue lolling out the side of her mouth. She was ready to come home. She had scratches, a rash on her low slung belly, and by the next morning there were many bruises like finger prints around her back legs under the belly. I took her to the vet for babysitting (I was heading to Iowa next night), and they gave me something for the rash. Well, the same thing happened again Tuesday this week, only it was daylight, and I was watching the dogs while I watered my flowerpots. Suddenly no Dixie in the yard. I went calling again, no answer. I went to my neighbor's yard to see if she had gotten under our fence into HIS yard, but no. I was pretty mad at her this time. So I came back to our side of the shrubbery, and there she was, by the car in the driveway. Now I am putting her harness on with the leash attached to a large but movable object (a wire basket) so that she is slowed down, and cannot get far if she tries to go under the fence. This will be the routine until I can add a barrier around the new fence area, like we have under the old fence area, which will keep her from escaping. She is a quick learner. Poor little rabbit, I hope Dixie makes friends with it, and it grows up quickly to be bigger than she is. Anyway, here is a picture of her with her "ball and chain." I hope the animal cruelty folks don't catch me.

Do You Let Your Pets on Your Bed?

When I was a teen we had a dog named Scooby. She was a great bed dog and would curl behind my legs and we both slept great. Fast forward a few years (sic) and now I have Jetty dog. He is 57 pounds now and is turning into a great bed dog - as long as he doesn't get there first. He is lots bigger than Scooby - but he is longer too and stretches out behind my back with his back against mine. We both have a fine sleep! Smaller Sage dog is at the bottom of my feet. Most times if they get on the bed they leave in the night and I miss them when I wake up (they go downstairs and each takes a sofa).

Let me see . . . whenever we are out walking, people always comment on how cute my dogs are, but not once has anyone ever commented on how cute I am. So, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that my shelties are WAY better looking than I am!

No. I have black dogs and light hair. My friend tried to give me her Golden once (I had just lost my Rottweiler) and I said no I refuse to be one of those people that look like their dog.

I've heard that people look like their dogs and saw a tv special once where there was a funny resemblence between pet and owner. No i don't look like my dogs at all and they don't look like each other as one weighs 7lbs and is brown and the other weighs 50lbs and is black,brown and white.

Thinking about it, I realize that I have a long thin face and my two dogs were greyhound and Afghan hound. On my daily walks I sometimes run into a a short stocky woman walking her bulldog and they do look alike.

Our dogs are slim, athletic Huskies with startling blue eyes. I'd have to say I do look like them. In my dreams.

Beautiful dog ronnie!!

Love the bullys. At first I thought it was a boxer but then I read your page and it's an EB I guess.

With my luck, I DO look like my dogs - many are Shar Peis!!

Meghan and Dave at Halloween

I'd first have to ask- which pet LOL?!

I do admit to a bird-beak type nose. Beyond that, I don't think that Dh or I look like any of our pets. However, we do share many personality traits. I like to be outside digging around the garden, and so does Tatya. I like to lounge around the house sometimes, and K'Ehleyr is perfect company for that. I love laying in the sun with Josephina.
Tavi and I both love to scurry around and make piles of things that we will never be able to find again. Max and Dave just watch TV together. Ana likes to exercise, but not that much. She's a great compliment to Dave.

I don't think we look like our pets, even without the Halloween costumes, but we do act like our critters at times.

I am shocked that no one here looks like their pet/s. We were looking at albums at the vet's. There were several including In Memory, Me and My Friend. I was amazed at the similar appearances.
Love the pics everyone. Meghan, You have a lot of pets, all beautiful, by the way. How do you pronounce K'Eyler & is Tavi a ferret?

I think our cat has the same body build as my husband,tall,atheltic,muscular type. Yet,he has green eyes like me. Other then that,he is simply beautiful and I'd love to look like him!

jeanonly one, K'Ehleyr is pronounced Kay-lar. It's Klingon :)
And yes, Tavi is a ferret. I neutered and descented him for a class at school and since they were later offered up for adoption, I just *had* to take him.
