AW Your Pets!

I think we need a new dose of cuteness on this mundane Monday.  Let's see your furry/fluffy/feathered/scaly friends!

Obviously we have very few rules about where Dozer sleeps. Top right was him under our covers, bottom right was in the warm clean laundry bin, and bottom left was cuddling me when I was pregnant with my daughter. 

Hes 3, a beagle and hound mix, and we rescued him when he was around 4 months old.

My little girl. It was just as hard to get her picture as it is my boys.

This is Bella.  I got her from a shelter when I lived in AZ.  She's 12 years old.

I've been so terrible about taking photos of my pets since DD was born, tried to find some I haven't shared with you guys yet! I've got one with our littlest cat Clementine, after she got into some coffee cake, one of our bigger/older cat Calamity, basking in the sunshine, and then one of our pupper Archie where he looks like he's wearing eyeliner, haha.

Here’s our girl, Calliope (aka “Calliopuppy”

Here are my fluffers today! 

Begging for early dinner


Then accepting Invisible Treats (only Mike took them, Atlas was too smart to accept more than one)

@echo-charlietango My dogs always try to get dinner early! Or they'll try to pretend they haven't been fed yet when they have.

I needed this thread this morning! Took Friday off for a long weekend away and paid dearly for it at work yesterday. 

I love this one of Jackson not making eye contact since he knows he's not supposed to be laying on my parents' new furniture. The power at our house had been out for two days and I was having surgery that afternoon so I was too anxious to tell him to get off!

echo-charlietango

@AdorkablePixie Ha! Usually when they beg me for early dinner, I just tell them "no, I'm the boss." And now I say "no, I'm the boss -and- I outweigh you both, so I am bigger too." They don't get the nuance, but they don't get fed before 5pm unless we're going out and want them to poop sooner.

@lippy625 How was your surgery? Also, your puppers are super cute

maureenmce

@lippy625 Oh my god I'm in love with Pudge!

Here are my babies


Edit: Why is it the long, involved posts that don't save?

Here are my wonderful meows! From left to right, Ace, Tango, and Pepper.

Well, I don’t have any super recent pics of my pups since they’re in KS and I forgot to get a pic of my old man kitty last night. But, here’s one of me FaceTiming one of my dogs a couple weeks ago. 

I look like a crazy pants, but I was excited to see my Husker boy. I’ll probably cry when they come back home next Thursday!

Here's my 9-yo "puppy" Reese!

He has DH's sock in his mouth in the pic above - it's a daily ritual that he steals one of DH's socks when he gets home and then hides it somewhere (usually not very well)! lol! He was super fluffy before his haircut last week!
Then he is cuddling with the bunny we got for baby bean.

This is Reese being ridiculous resting his head on my brother's legs!

@mag1cbeli3ver
Lol my pup also has a daily ritual to stiff out and bury socks. Usually after a meal, before taking a nap

AdorkablePixie

I forgot to post yesterday! Here are my babies, Lily (black and white) and Zoey (black and tan). They’re both laying on a one dog dog bed.

@AdorkablePixie That is adorable that they share a bed.  My dog also pretends she has not been fed to try to get a second dinner.

erose625

@echo-charlietango sorry late response, it's been a rough few days!! I should've clarified in my post with Jackson that the picture was actually from March  The cutest pictures of him are when he's getting in trouble though haha

@maureenmce he would love you right back! He's definitely the most "loved by strangers" dog I've ever had haha When he's with me in public we are constantly stopped by people wanting to give him some snuggles. I've wanted to have him trained to be a therapy dog for hospitals/nursing homes but we don't have any local programs unfortunately.

Here are Max and Mia. They drive me crazy, but they were our first babies.

binxybaby

Just felt like sharing this...

I watched this video last night where a fake robber comes in and attacks the homeowner to see how the dog reacts. The big dogs all ran away (one right out the front door), but the small dogs were ferocious and attempted to fight off the attacker. Thought it was interesting.

clbness

Facetimed with my boys the other night and Husker just looked so sad to see me...I think he’s finally getting homesick. Herbie looked excited this time, the silly goof! I actually may be the goof here...

MDKC14

Our 1.5yr old, Yazhi. She's a lab, pointer, pit mix.

My 12yr old jack rat terrier, Lexi. She's blind and almost completely deaf but hanging in there.

LLynde5

@binxybaby interesting but I wouldn’t try it at my house.  My sweet boy Charlie is a 100 lb lab and we found out the hard way if Mommy doesn’t say it’s okay.  He will attack and wont stop until I call him off.  It was my cousin who came into our house early morning to work on a construction project, unannounced. I didn’t hear him until it was to late.  Once I called Charlie off he ran upstairs to me but the bite required stitches and Charlie now has a vicious dog report.  One more problem, his fault or not, and we will be forced to put him down.  

Side note:  I feel very safe in my house with him and him around my kids.  He is the most submissive around DD. He lays down and rolls to his side when she is near and begs for her attention.  

binxybaby

@LLynde5 Wow! Quite the guard dog! It's nice to know your family is safe, but I can understand the worry of him accidentally biting someone who isn't actually an attacker.

LLynde5

We protect him as much as possible. We kennel him when we have people over other than close friends and family he knows very well. (Like my mom, he can hear her car a block away and starts doing a dance for her, he’s a loveable pup). We muzzle him if he is going on an unfirmilar place until he is adjusted and he is always leashed unless we are at our house, our camp or my parents. He knows his boundaries there and he will not cross them even provoked. 

ETA:  we have had a vet and a behavioral DH say “he’s a one person dog and rehoming would never be an option for him”. Not that I could give him up.  But I have major guilt because I want him to be a care free typical lab and his brain wasn’t built that way.  We see a beautiful smart funny boy but he will never be able to go to the dog park again or run free when we go hiking.  If he thinks I am in danger even on a walk his behavior is intimidating. I know I have control and so does he but lord knows he has scared enough people in his day.  The best part is when he does intimidate people and I obviously have to correct him, people say “wait isn’t he a lab” and the Charlie bounces away, wagging his tail like well yes, yes I am!!  Lol/Grrrr

echo-charlietango

@LLynde5 Sweet Charlie! One of my boys is a serious guard dog too, so he rarely gets out (especially since I got pregnant!). Luckily he looks intimidating, so people don’t try to approach him, but still. I wish I could take him to dog parks again, but it’s impossible to know when they’re empty or only occupied by non-threatening humans & pups. 

echo-charlietango

My derpy dog looked extra special tonight, but the photo just didn’t quite capture his goofiness. 

So here’s Mike, napping on our feet as we ate dinner. Both dogs love being under the dinner table -it’s their safe place apparently.

My dog loves to lounge in suitcases.

My little baby ajani this photo is just typical her always getting into mischief but looks cute and gets away with it here it was dirty paws in the clean washing

I realized I never posted a pic of the boys coming home last week. We had all enjoyed some ice cream this night! 

hannelorre

My goofball! 

scaredunprepared

My three crazy puppers! They love hanging out under tables... that's where the food is.

LLynde5

This wild child can not give her eldest puppy brother enough love lately!! (She is gently petting, not hitting I promise). He will be 16 on Monday!!

blueberry2mommy25

Oreo! Our first love 

blueberry2mommy25

Oreo...again 

scaredunprepared

@blueberrysmommy25 Oreo is awful cute!!!

Here is my beautiful, sweet, amazing, perfect girl.  Sans right front leg   she's such a trooper, but today was yelping frequently.  We needed to get a refill of codeine.  The regular pain pills weren't cutting it.  She's much happier and more comfortable now.

katy0990

@scaredunprepared I hope the refill helped!
