Re: GTKY: Let's talk furbabies!
Yours are so cute!
Mine are below in my siggy. They are both Cane Corsos. The one on the left is Chloe, she just turned 3 in Oct. We rescued her... we got her at 9mon and were her 4th home. The previous owner didnt have time for her and she lived in a little kennel. Her elbows and knees did not have fur her cage was so small she rubbed them raw, and her back legs did not develop properly (but shes ok now). Who would have thought a "mastiff" would get big!
The guy on the right is Guinness and will be 1 on Thanksgiving. He is our first non-rescue dog, we needed the same breed because they are just so darn strong and play rough! This breed is not for everyone, but these 2 came into our lives at the perfect moment!!

Wylie, our Vizsla, in my siggie. And featured prominently on my blog. He is definitely our baby. Today is his birthday! He's 3.
I keep bugging DH to let us get another one (his breeder is having another litter in February!) but he thinks I'm nuts.

*points down to siggy*
The hard to see Rottweiler is Guiness. He was abandoned so we can only guess he is around 9 years old. He is crazy. He reminds me a lot of Murray from "Mad About You".
The little black and white is our pitt bull/lab mix. She is 6 and the a major cuddle bug. She has to be next to a person at all times or she is miserable.
TTC since 2010
lots of IUIs and 1 IVF all BFNs
FET currently on hold
*points to siggy too*
That is Sabre, our Siberian Husky! He's our baby, and completely spoiled rotten! He will be 9 months old on the 23rd.
He is completely crazy and the most high energy dog I have ever seen! We are hoping to get him into agility classes and put him to work!

Awww loving all the furbabies! I forgot to mention that Oliver (French bulldog) is a total momma's boy and Jolie' (Bull terrier) is daddy's girl all the way!
I love my furbabies!
We have a 2 year old Rottweiler named Kaia who is the biggest cuddle bug and so sweet.
We also have a 1 1/2 year old tuxedo cat named Bucket who thinks he is a dog. He greet us at the door and everything!
We have two little Pomeranians, one girl and one boy. I love them so much. They're both 6. The boy has always been really mellow but the little girl is so energetic, STILL! LOL
LOVE THIS!
Here is my dog Niles - he is a 11 month zuchon (half bichon and half shih tzu). He is our little boy and definitely the man of the house. And my fat cat Cha Cha who I have had for 7 years now. She is my baby girl and we have been through a ton together!
This is DH's cat Danica. She can be sweet, but she is dumb..and b!tchy. LOL. I tell him all the time that he didn't raise her right! My Cha is a floppy kitty, and she.is.not.
TTC since March/April 2010
DX: MFI - less than 1 million sperm, 26% motility
DH put on anastrozole to increase counts
June/July 2011 100 mg Clomid + TS IUI#1 & IUI 2 - BFN :-(
Forced break due to DH getting spinal surgery in August 2011
IVF - January 2012: BFN
FET in April 2012 - BFP at 6dp5dt! Beta #1 at 9dp5dt: 82.5, Beta #2 at 12dp5dt: 352 Beta #3 at 19dp5dt: 6000, saw heartbeat and one little bean at 5W6D!
After nearly 3 years of waiting our LO was born December 18th 2012!
Photos are in my siggy:
Two cats, one dog - all rescues! Here are their stories:
Chloe (black long hair cat) - Rescued from a hoarding situation in Pahrump, NV where a "rescue group" had hoarded over 700 cats. They weren't fed propertly, spayed/neutered, and in many cases they had to eat other cats to survive! It was a horrible, horrible situation. Chloe took some time to warm up to us, but now she can't get enough attention. She has a great life!
Nadia (Calico cat) - Rescued from Gilroy, CA and had been poisoned by some evil unknown freak who was feeding poisoned cat food to local strays. Over 100 cats were found dead, and even four dogs! She barely made it, and was nursed back to health with kitten milk. Now she's a fatty and extremely happy.
Oscar (Brindle Basset/English Bull Terrier/X) - Was rescued from another "rescue gone bad" situation. He had hardly any hair left due to sever mange, had ticks all over him, and was severly malnourished. He also had a broken skull and blown out eyeball due to trauma likely incurred by beating and abuse. He's in our home now, all healed up (except for the googly eye that he can't see out of) and is the sweetest dog you will ever meet. I love my Oscar!

I'm sorry, but all I could think of was the song they wrote on the office, and when they figured out how Sabre was pronounced, the song didn't work anymore.

I have 2 fur babies. Bella is an almost 3 year-old Westie/Yorkie Mix (she's the silver baby in the picture) and Little Bob Marley is my 2 year-old Norwich Terrier, we call him Little Bob or just Bob.
Bella is a daddy's girl and Little Bob is momma's boy.
My boy Riley is going on 5 months old now. My profile and siggy pics are about a month old, so I should update them. He's a shetland sheepdog (sheltie). We love him to death. He keeps me busy so I have less time to think about IF.
I keep telling DH that if we aren't pregnant relatively soon, we'll have to get another puppy.

I wish I had a PIP to share but I have a sweet blue merle Aussie named Kea... and a giant, small-pony-sized white Anatolian named Homer.
I also have a herd of dairy goats (see avatar for a pic of one of my babies), and just bought 2 more today.
They're my first standard sized dairy goats -- Nubians, with long floppy ears and Roman noses! They come home in 3 weeks and I can't wait.
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

I have recently taken a huge loving to goats. There is a family near my parents that have goats and I love them! I told my husband we needed to move somewhere that we could have animals :-) He looked at me like I was crazy of course! HA!
Our furbaby is in my siggy. Our 1 1/2 yr old yellow lab Herky. He is so incredibly spoiled and the love of our lives right now. He is super sweet with all 6 of our nieces and nephews so we cannot wait to bring home a baby for him to love on!
Everyone's babies are adorable! Makes me want to get another one! :-)

Yes!! Sorry I have a late addition. I have two fur babies *points to avatar picture*. I have a mutt named Miller who is 7. I got him from the local shelter and they told me he'd be "no more than 25 pounds and won't need grooming". Well, 45 pounds later and about 100 haircuts he's still going strong!
