Have we done this yet?
Share a picture of your furry child(ren) and share anything else about them that you’d like! I feel like we could all use a post full of cute animals right now ☺️

Re: GTKY Pet Edition
Gretchen is our senior dachshund (not sure on age... maybe 10?). We adopted her two years ago after our dachshund Lady passed away. She was found as a stray, and we think she was used by a backyard breeder and then dumped when she got too old. Subsequently, I always have people asking me if she's pregnant and/or what happened to her puppies! You can't tell from these pictures, but she also has an eye injury that people ask me about. Same answer... I have no idea!
Pasha is our cat, who we just adopted in September. She was found being hoarded in a bedroom with many other cats by a mentally ill teenager. Because of that, she had a litter of kittens that all died. She is just a baby - probably only about a year old - so she's super playful and fun!
I'm a cat person and my SO is a dog person. Typical, right? The irony here is I'm the one who wants a dog, and he's the one who wants a cat. When we're settled, we'll most likely get a Great Dane (I grew up with them) and a Maine Coon.
@theblondebump I like your sweet Doxie too!
@bluey101321 our cat is seriously the sweetest girl. She sits there and licks Gretchen's ears and rump and Gretchen just looks at me like, "Mom... what should I do?" I knew when I introduced them that Gretchen would be fine with a cat, but I never imagined they'd be snuggling just two months after meeting!
@aisukurimsarang My mom's side of the family has been involved in dog breeding since my great-grandfather, who bred and showed Great Danes. He was an orphan who immigrated from Germany at the age of 13 and was robbed as soon as he got off the boat. I don't know the full story of how he got involved in dog breeding, but I do know that's what helped get the family through the great depression. They sold a Great Dane to Jackie O's family! He was known as the "duke of danedome" and I got the Great Dane Club of America scholarship when I went to college. My mom and aunt (his granddaughters) bred and showed danes for a long time, but ultimately switched to border terriers because they were having so many health problems with the danes. So we had a dane when I was born but after a few years we just had border terriers. My mom just had a litter of three puppies a few weeks ago! I'm not into the dog show stuff (I showed as a kid but never really loved it), but I do love the dogs. I'm going to be devastated when Flyer goes
@bluey101321 they are all so adorable! I'm glad Walter found a safe forever home with you; I hate how some humans treat animals, it is just disgusting.
with a lot from our girls. Sometimes he gets tired of them running around him so he just stands up and goes to lay down somewhere else. 😂 But now that they’re older and actually take breaks from the chaos to pet him, he will basically let them do anything they want to him!
This is Rocco (chihuahua, dachshund, jack mix) and Tiny (chihuahua and wire haired terrier). They are little dogs but can hike for miles! Both adopted and great with kids. Rocco has the softest mouth and wrestles with our 4 year old. Tiny is only 6 months but she's almost completely potty trained, thank God.
not enjoy hiking for miles 😂 That’s awesome!
