Show off your pets!!

[heatherness]

I know everyone loves to brag and show off their pets so lets get it started! Post pictures if you can so we can all admire them!

I'll start!

This is my Sage. She is a blue heeler mix. I rescued her from the humane society when she was a year old. I take her everywhere with me and she is the best dog ever. She loves when we go on trail rides and she is usually right behind the last horse following along patiently.

This is my baby boy, Jazzy. He is a 7 year old Egyptian Mau, and acts more like a person than a cat. He follows me around the house and is almost always curled up on me. When he was only a few weeks old I rescued him from my back yard where my neighbors cat was torturing him aginst a fence. He was terrified and immediately took to me as his mommy. Now he gets upset if he can't see me, and very anxious if I'm away from him for too long. <3

Bobby, being majestic! He is very timid and dislikes strangers, so you won't see him when we have people over. However, he is the kindest, most affectionate creature when you're having one-on-one time with him. He's my favorite <3



And here's Lucy! She's a pedigreed Burmese, and my dad's cat. He paid a lot for her, and we always joke that she is his favorite child. She sleeps with me at night under the covers. She's tiny too, she is about five years old and this is her adult size.

Hungry Lucy!

Just for fun, here's a video of her being a brat while I'm cooking! Dad spoils her with raw meat, and now she thinks she's entitled. Volume up to hear her talk!

Poor Jazzy! That's so cute how you rescued him Pinki!

[Pinki the Pessimist]

Pretty much every animal I've ever owned has been a rescue. lol and Awww Dawn, Bobby and Lucy are so cute. lol And that video reminds me of Ani. haha He does the same thing.

I had to track down some good pics of my other baby, parents pets, and my gone-but-not-forgotten babies.


This is Anakin, he's about 1 1/2 years old and we suspect he has some Maine Coon in him. He was adopted from a shelter as a companion cat for Jazzy so he would stop driving us nuts for attention and playtime 24-7. lol However he has compleatly become attatched to my boyfriend practically following him from room to room and begging for him to pet him. He's so adorable because he acts like a baby (loves to be held on his back like a baby) and will not actually meow. He only makes these itty bitty squeaks that are hardly audible.



The first picture is my mom's kitty, Princess Dusty (Another rescue of mine, and yes I named her when I was like 10 haha). She's a bit of a chubber now, but an absolute lover. Her favorite thing to do is curl up and be scratched and she loves to sleep wrapped around your head. She's getting up there in age, about 15 now, but doesn't show her age at all.
The Dog behind her was our belated puppy Isabelle. She was a german bred long haired dachshund that was a cherished member of our family for years. She passed away a few years ago at the age of 17 after having a very love filled life.
The second picture is of another beloved member of our furry family that we lost a little over a year ago named Tiger. He was a real character as you can see from the picture, and yes he is stretched over a gap between our rolling island and the stove. He also used to enjoy sleeping in the bathroom sink or wrapped around the toilet seat. I have plenty of him in kooky positions or doing odd things. Tiger was my moms cat, and was with us for 13 years before finally passing on.
The last 4 pictures are all of Jazzy as a little kitten. He was so strange as a kitten that I got plenty of little candids of him being strange. And no his legs are not touching the ground in that last photo. I'm not 100% certain how he got himself onto the rungs of the chair like that but he was quite comfy and proud of himself and stayed balanced like that for quite awhile. haha


Alright, I'll stop spamming you guys with photos of my fur babies now haha

[Lyrics]

Ahh I love this! Everyone's pets are so gorgeous, I may as well add my own little fur babies to this collection

Firstly we have Maya, at least that's what I call her haha. Depending on which family member you ask she has a different name, so basically Maya/Bittens/Spook/Willow. We actually got her from my English teacher at high school and she fit in right away! I have to keep reminding myself she's a fully grown cat (3 years old) because she's so little! She's quite wary of strangers and has a habit of nipping people without warning (we're really trying to stop her doing that) but I seem to be her favourite and every now and then she'll come up for a cuddle, plus you can see her skin (like her fur) has patches of different colour which you can see in her ears which is really cool! I'll try and get a picture but in the meantime here's a cute picture I just snapped today :3

Second is our newest addition, Norton! We only got him about a month ago but he's fitting in quite nicely. He's a purebred ragdoll, but we got him as a giveaway from our friends grandparents so yay! He's pretty much the classic ragdoll - he just flops everywhere and he loves getting picked up and cradled like a baby. When you're patting him it pretty much feels like patting a fluffy cloud lol. However, he is a very vocal cat and sometimes the strange noises he lets out are hilarious (not so much at 2AM but I love him anyway haha). He's also got these amazing blue eyes which you can't see in the photo below but they're so bright!

There we go, so great to see everyone else's bundles of joy haha

[heatherness]

Wow so beautiful! So many kitties! I'm more of a dog person myself

[Pinki the Pessimist]

Same here. When I was younger we only had dogs but with how much my bf and I work, cats are just more practical. I would absolutly love to own a dog again because I have always been more of a dog person (until Jazzy came around), but It's just not realistic right now. Hopefully in the near future when I move down south and have more room and less responsibility I can get one. =]

[heatherness]

Yea we have 2 dogs in a 1 bedroom apartment and it does get tough. We have to take them out on a walk 2/3 times a day. And if we go out of town we have to either take them with which can be a huge pain or find someone to babysit them.

[heatherness]

This is my boyfriend's dog Milo. He is the cutest thing you've ever seen and loves to cuddle but he is really dumb lol.

[elise]

From left to right.

We have Lola. My wolf-hybrid girl. She's four years old and probably the quietest of the group for the most part. She's also the oldest. She was given to me by a friend after she got a divorce. I'm honestly glad that this friend did because Lola came to me underweight (I could see her ribs, hips and shoulders), had severe separation anxiety (she cost me almost $2000 dollars in damages) and was not spayed nor had she had any of her shots. With me, she got spayed, was given all her shots and is now a chubby monster. We ended up getting Maya and Charlie because of her separation anxiety as she can't be left home alone.

Then we have little miss Maya. She's a Weimaraner mix. She just turned a year old. My partner and I adopted her together from a farm. We actually got her because I'm a sucker for puppies and our other two girls needed someone else with them so that we could remove one, but not leave them alone.Maya is a holy terror, but I love her to death. In the almost year we've had her, this little monster has been to the Pet ER for rock eating, gotten spayed early because we have crap neighbors who have an un-neutered male Akita, has sliced her paw open and had to get sticks and had to be put on a sled dog diet of high proteins and fats because she runs off everything else.

Last, but just a dearly loved, we have the lovable, purebred yellow lab Charlie. Charlie came with my partner from PA and was mistreated by her previous owners. They were feeding her a cup of food a day and not policing it so most of it was being stolen by the other two labs that lived with her at the time. They also didn't care for her ears correctly and now she gets really nasty ear infections whenever she gets even a little bit of water in them. She's now a 60+ pound, four inches taller ball chasing machine. She's a typical lab though, friendly, but on her terms and so very protective of her people and her pack, as they've come to act thanks to Lola.


To get them all to pose like that, I had cheese. You can get those three to do anything for cheese.




This is our old man Elroy. He's a mix of breeds, but we think he's got some Maine Coon and Ragdoll in him. He's 11 years old and the biggest sweetheart ever. He actually chose my partner and I. We weren't looking for a cat at the time, but the shelter workers informed us that he's super shy and doesn't usually come down to ask for pets and love. So obviously, we had to get him.



This is Charleston Chew. He's a pedigree English Lop and the biggest baby ever. He's bigger than our cat and he's not scared of the dogs. He's almost a year old now and he's a big love. All he wants are pets and cuddles and treats. He was meant to be a show bunny and breeder buck, but we just couldn't do it because then he'd have to live outside and he's much happier being a house bunny than anything else.



From left to right.

We have old man Stetson. He's a 21 year old off the track thoroughbred gelding that has played polo down at our top vet school for the last ten years. He's the most recent addition to your family and probably one of the best horses I've ever ridden. He's eager to please and has a very warm heart. If he could get away with standing around eating and being groomed and loved on all day, I think he'd be pleased, but the old guy loves to work and it really shows when you get him going.

Last, but not least, we have Chief. He's my 7 year old pain in the ass. I love him to death, but we've been through a few rough spots recently. He's a quarter horse x arabian gelding and you never know which one your going to get until you start working him. Some days, I have the best cow pony ever and you can see the quarter horse in him. Other times, I have a wannabe arabian stallion, tail flagging, bucking and all. That's usually on the ground though. Still, I've had him since he was 2 and he's my project horse and it's always fun learning new things with him or teaching him new things. He's always up for learning, just not too much at one time.

Omg, so much has changed since the last thread like this!

I now have two fur babies that are ALL MINE (well, mine and man-slave's, but I love them more so MINE).

First came Milo, a cat who was given up when his family's new baby turned out to be allergic. My friend took him in for a year until she wanted to move in with a roommate who's allergic, and since man-slave and I had been talking about eventually getting a cat, and I loved how friendly this kitty was, I offered to take him.

Well. He's cuddly and friendly all right, but also NEEDY AS HELL. And much more playful than any of the cats I'd had before (or maybe the 2am play sessions were less noticeable in a house than in an apartment).


Then we got a dog. I'd only ever had big dogs, but man-slave insisted that we look for something more apartment-sized. Frenchies are super expensive, and all the ones in rescues had massive medical problems. There were a number of Pugs and Boston Terriers available through rescues, but every one we applied for was quickly snapped up by someone else.

And then we found him, the one Boston nobody wanted. His Petfinder picture was hideous. He was listed as almost completely blind. We decided it was worth meeting him, and quickly fell in love. He wasn't as hideous as his listing showed, and though his eyes get red and ugly sometimes, he's a very cute and happy guy. This is Cisco, my fearless blind Bostie! He bumps into things and doesn't care. He plays fetch by hearing the ball bounce, and he loves tug of war!


Here he is awake too. Those googly cloudy eyes!

[heatherness]

Aw spectra your bostie is so adorable!!! The picture of him awake isn't showing though and I'd love to see it!

[Lady B]

Here is my boy, who I lost back on February 4th. I've had him since he was born back in 2006 and he was my feline child for sure. I do miss him terribly and living without him has proven to be more challenging than thought. I've lost many pets before, but Magellan was more than a pet to me.
RIP Magellan... my lovey bear, fuzzy bear, sweet pea, my protector, and little lion.

[heatherness]

so handsome! I love fuzzy cats!

[S p e c t r a]

Oh wow, I thought I had to link to Instagram pics but it turns out I can embed them!

Oh, awesome! Nice discovery, Spectra! Cute pup. Sniffles? Does your pup have allergies or just a cold?

And he was a VERY handsome boy, heatherness. I miss him terribly.

Everyone has some very adorable, awesome pets.

[S p e c t r a]

He had a cold which gave him a little trouble breathing, but he's all better now! The cold was fine, the bump on his leg was nothing, and his eye pressure is stable. Yay!

Such a variety of coats among the kitties especially. They're all so gorgeous!
