Gtky: pets

RondackHiker · May 2013

Have I posted here enough to post a GTKY?

If not, sorry, but I'm having a rough day and would love to see your pets! Or hear stories.

What pets do you have? What are they like? Post a photo if you can!

DemoDoll · May 2013

We have a dog, Nico. He is 6 years old and a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. I had a pic of him in my siggy but I just took it out a couple days ago. He looks like a mini golden retriever.

We also have a 3 year old gold fish we call Petey after Adrian Peterson.

icecreamandcake · May 2013

I have a 13yo kitty who acts like an old lady most of the time and a collie who loves anybody and everybody. We also have cows and horses too.

Honey127 · May 2013

I have two labs, a chocolate and a black and I love them more than pretty much anything, besides my husband!
My black lab is 6 years old and my chocolate is 2 and they are best friends.
They love to swim, I mean LOVE to swim!

jchickiem · May 2013

We have two standard poodles. One apricot male and one red female. They are the best dogs ever--so good with my LO--Love them!

Sarah52Beth · May 2013

I have two pups. I have a picture of each of them in my siggy.

Wilson (the one trying to eat the pumpkin) will be 5 in a couple months. I got him for my H as a Christmas present in 2008. Wilson is a love bug! He can get really hyper though, which is fun! He loves treats, going outside and pestering his sister!! haha

Piper is our little deer. Our neighbor's dog had puppies late last summer and H and I had been wanting another dog for Wilson because we felt he needed someone to play with and keep him company. On Halloween when our neighbors came by with their son for trick or treating, they brought Piper! Best treat ever. Piper is a snuggle bug!! She loves to play too!

Wilson and Piper are so great together. The sleep and play together and often give each other baths. It warms my heart to see them get along so well!

Milagros315 · May 2013

My huskies are in my siggy. Chevy is on the left and Sasha is on the right. They're so awesome. They're both really sweet and snuggly and very playful.

Twinkie0612 · May 2013

We have a 4 year old shepherd/rot/chow mix named Darcy. While she sounds like she should be a really vicious dog, she is the biggest baby ever. She is my 65 lb lap dog.

We also have a 2 year old orange and white tabby named Ginger. DH found her when she was only 4 weeks old in the parking lot at his work. Ginger is definitely a nosy cat. She gets into everything! Her saving grace is that she is so stinking cute and loves to cuddle with me.

They are in my siggy and here are a few more pics...

We have a 1 year old German Shepherd Mix named Samson, and a ferret named Delilah. lol

This is the most recent picture I have of Sammy.. he is obsessed with that Kong toy.. it's his best friend.

I actually taught him to say "I love you", "I love my mama", "I want it", and he almost has "water" down. It's awesome, but creepy sometimes. lol

This is a picture from the day we got Delilah. She's so much fun to play with

Edit: Fixed images. This was the best I could do unfortunately. Scroll over to see whole picture.

TeeJ526 · May 2013

I have 2 cats. One's a Tuxedo (he's just missing the bowtie) and his name is Felix and the other is mostly white with black (looks like a California Happy Cow). His name is Oreo.

pearlsandcurls84 · May 2013

We just adopted a lab/basset hound puppy. This is apparently a known mix (people call it a bassador). She is about three months old and is the cutest thing! She looks like a golden retriever/lab puppy with short basset hound legs. We were in love with her the second we saw her... When we had to put her back in crate at the shelter (to fill out paper work), she literally clung to me and cried!! She is a happy energetic pup now.... It will be interesting to see what she ends up looking like. A quick google search for bassador brought up a few scary pics!! Her name is Phoebe and her pic is in my siggy

CrazyCupcake52 · May 2013

We have a yorkie name is Chloe, she is 3. She is super sweet, loves pretty much anyone and loves to travel with us.

AngieV84 · May 2013

We have an Irish terrier mix, we think she is mixed with a jack russell, but not sure. We named her Starbuck, from Battlestar Galactica. She is very hyper but loves to cuddle!

BBer4 · May 2013

Our chocolate lab is named Henry and he is a year old. He is hilarious, he follows me around everywhere I go (he is rarely more than about two feet away from me when I'm at home.), he loves cuddling, he needs to be included every time DH and I hug, he hates when people dance, he doesn't like water (yet) and is afraid of motorcycles, he licks peoples feet after he takes a drink...every single time, and he understands pointing. I adore him.

EmilyA724 · May 2013

This is fun! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs (1 male and 1 female of each species) and I love them so much.

We adopted our female cat first when she was about 8 weeks old (she is 4 now) her name is Daphne:

We adopted our second cat when he was about 5 weeks old (he's 3 now) and his name is Charles. He followed my parents home one day and they gave him to me. He spent the first 3 months (before DH then BF moved to where I was) with me in my bedroom. He thinks I'm his mom and we are completely in love.

We then adopted our first dog a year later when she was 7 months old (she's 3 now) and her name is Zoe. She is a collie beagle mix we think. She is way too smart and naughty. When we adopted her she had pneumonia but we didn't know it. We thought she had energy but she was young and it didn't seem too bad. She had energy with pneumonia. Then after getting her better she became a "devil dog" as my mom likes to call her. But she's gotten a lot better now that she's getting older and can also be the sweetest dog in the world.

Then 2 years later we adopted our second dog when he was 8 months old (now he's a year) and his name is Rex. We think he is a pug shepard mix and he is the goofiest dog in the world. Everything about him just melts your heart. He is so dump and he spends more of his time wiggling in joy, but he also the biggest lover and just wants to cuddle.

You can also go to DH's tumblr page, which is all just pictures of our animals. Be warned though he likes to juxtapose them with sort of "darker" captions: https://spacefunmars.com/

anglndsguse44 · May 2013

We have a 6 year old Boxer named Casey. She's sweet as can be with DS, but is a handful and has some pretty bad anxiety issues. We adopted her a few years ago and she just hasn't figured out that we aren't going to leave her We can't go outside and leave her in the house without her pacing and panting. She's crated during the day since we can't trust her to be alone in the house, but one of us stops home for lunch as often as we can to give her a break. But, she's very friendly, loves people and kids and makes us laugh all the time! She's infamous for her late night sprints around the house and the most God-awful dog breath ever.

FoxiePM · May 2013

We have 2 yorkies

Foxie is 13

Ash is 7

RunCC37 · May 2013

We have a 6 y/o cairn terrier, Mocha (she's in my siggy). She brings us so much joy and amusement. She's always doing something funny or quirky

I've been on a mission lately to convince my DH that Mocha needs a buddy. I really want her to have a companion, and I'm also dying to have a running buddy in the house. I've tried to walk/run with Mocha before... BAHAHAHA! Total disaster! She's so lazy, she seriously pulls me back to the house whenever I try, lol.

babybean82 · May 2013

We have 3 dogs a 12 year old dachshund who loves to wear clothes she has a cow costume that she will drag out to me when she's cold.
We also have a 3year old chocolate lab and a 2 year old afgan hound mixed with a cooon hound and a race horse. The lab and hound are best friends they are very protective of each other and can't stand to be apart.
Mobile bumping so can't add pics

jaytee16 · May 2013

We have a 4.5 month Lab/Border Collie cross (3/4 lab) named Abby. She just graduated puppy class this week! She's in my siggy, but because I think she's just so d@mn cute (not that I'm biased), here's another:

This is my family's dog, Sasha - she's a husky/great white pyrenees mix, she's 13 now, she lives with my parents

Newtaylor13 · May 2013

Tiny pic keeps on turning my images upside down. Sorry but, that's Macy the Boston. she's 11 weeks today and has quite the personality.
Colby is the Yorkie and he is 8 and a perfect role model. Except for his scavenging ways.
I love my pets like kids.

RondackHiker · May 2013

I love these stories. They're really saving my mood!

Tinypic was failing so it took forever to respond to my own post.

This is our hedgehog, Knarla. She is two and a rescue. We adore her! She is blind due to neglect and so sweet. We've owned her since February. She was "free"... We've spent two hundred and fifty bucks getting her set up and back to health.

Our beast of a lab, Frazier. He completely lacks self preservation. He's run off cliffs and tried to play with dogs who want to murder him. He's kind of an idiot but he's so wonderful. Kindest dog ever. We just spent 800 on an emergency bill last week. He got pretty sick but is recovering!

kramja01 · May 2013

I love this thread--so many cute pups and kitties. We have a 2 year old beagle named Chase. He came from a breeder who specializes in hunting/trial beagles, and DH hunts rabbits with him. It is unusual to rabbit hunt with a solo dog (they usually run in packs of 2-4) but I was unwilling to get more than one beagle at a time. No matter, Chase is a great solo hunter!

Chase is also a huge baby and cuddlebug. I knew he was the dog for us when we went to the breeder to look at the litter of 7, and Chase just crawled into my lap and parked it. Decision made!

Meg&Austin · May 2013

Two doggies!

1 year old miniature pinscher

And 3 year old norwegian elkhound. Of course both brats!

Sarah52Beth · May 2013

bunnyfungo:
We just have one black kitty, Charlie. He's my best friend lol. But he's not too fond of DD now that she can crawl!

I had a kitty before I moved in with H. Her name is Charleigh. We tried to get the kitty and H's dog Wilson to get along, but no dice.

Charleigh now lives in the lap of luxury with my parents. She is spoiled rotten!

tabaskoa · May 2013

This is my German Shorthair Pointer, Bindi. She's 5 and a huge handful. She has really bad anxiety problems - we can't have people at our home and have to avoid people while on walks. She's also not great with our DS. BUT she's our first baby so for the moment we're dealing with it (lots of meds, money, and visits with behaviorists). She also has a ton of personality which makes her lovable.

Sarah52Beth · May 2013

krptcmschfmkr128:
3 dogs - Male husky (7) named Shadow, Female husky (3ish) name Kaylee aka KK, and 1 basset/lab mix (9) named Lady.
3 cats Speed (7 year old male) Peaches (3 yr old female) and Lilly (1 yr old female)
I'd be here entirely way too long telling stories about all of them.

The name Shadow always makes me think of the movie "Homeward Bound".

Your dog looks so sweet! I love fluffy dogs!

She is a beautiful dog. DH wants a GSP at some point (they are very popular hunters in our area) but I am not on board right now. One of our neighbors has one, and I see the dog's boundless energy daily!

We named her Starbuck, from Battlestar Galactica. p

Love it! BSG rocks:

I've loved the picture of Piper in your siggy for a while, she looks so sweet!

MrsHennyBee · May 2013

I have a cat named Remington. He just showed up at my apartment during grad school and never left. He is (in my opinion) the coolest cat eva! He is not scared of people so he will run to the door to greet us when we get home and guests when they come over. He prefers to drink from human cups (glass if possible), and likes ice cubes in his water dish.

Christina_Diane · May 2013

We have a three year old American pit bull terrier that we rescued from the shelter. It was love at first sight. She is amazing, and very strong willed. She has completed intermediate training through PetsMart, and is amazing with DS. She thinks she is a big lap dog.

Thanks! Yes, at 5 years old she's no where near slowing down yet energy wise! The energy and personality make for good photo ops though, I love using her as my subject lol!

mfoster5 · May 2013

We have a pom-chi I adopted the same year DH and I started dating. I love that little guy! He will be 5 this year . His name is Kit and he is spoiled rotten. He loves cheese and will do every trick he knows without command hoping to get it. Every kid in the neighborhood loves him.He is getting a little grey beard in his old age, it is quite cute. His pic is my icon pic Smile
