Re: GTKY: Pets!

  • @K&Elizabeth bless your dogs heart and your families! I hope he gets better fast & you all have the best possible outcome!

    Edit: idk why it's not letting me tag you

    Thank you! He's responding really well to the treatment and they think they got it all at his last surgery. He goes for blood work next month to make sure it didn't spread. He has a limp now, but thankfully they were able to save his leg. Now we're just trying to fatten him back up :) I
    That's great news! Prayers for him and that his cancer hasn't spread & he's cancer free! Idk what you're feeding him but giving him puppy food will fatten him up in no time; it contains extra calories!

    Here's some of my "pets" lol
    Molly is the black lab
    Frankie is my mini wiener dog (my bff)
    The horse with the star on its forehead is a quarter horse registered as " two dry four" we call her DD.
    The horse without the star is " miss turnstyle " we call her shortstop.
    The horse who is smiling at the trailer is " red man in the ally" we call him jonsey :)

    Do you ride your horses? (Not sure if that's you in the pictures on your horses) While growing up my family had 2 quarter horses, Cheyenne & Shadow. Such good pets!

    Yes! They are all quarter horses ;) My mom and I barrel race in the NBHA and rodeo. Mostly in Indiana /Illinois but we travel to Georga, Mississippi, Texas, Ohio and Florida for big shows. That me in both photos . One is from 2014 one is older from 2010.
    Moms horse is the one smiling ( he's older so mom runs him now on occasion ) and she's got 2 others that I didn't mention .

    Oh, how fun! My mom showed horses when she was a teen. I never did. Only trail riding!

  • @BreannaaaMarieee I love how he sits! Hilarious!!

    It's his favorite sitting position lol. You should see the look on our friends faces when they see him sit like that in front of our tv when we're all trying to watch a movie, it's priceless!
  • I think I've bragged on Akira before, but here she is again, in all her obstinate glory (she had just fetched her bowl out of the kitchen and taken it into the guest bed for... reasons). I adopted her almost 6 years ago now when she was maybe 2 years; she was a stray, so we're not 100% sure of her breed (maybe part Shiba?) or her age.  She was so shy when I first adopted her that she'd hide behind my legs and shake when we'd go out for a walk and she saw someone a block away.  Now I have a difficult time convincing her that not every person we pass on the sidewalk wants to pet her. Obedience is not her strong suit; she knows all her commands, but won't obey them without a good reason (what constitutes a "good reason" depends on her mood). Still, she's a really sweet, generally well-behaved, and extremely loveable dog.

    I am a little concerned for when the baby comes, as she has a really difficult time sharing attention; there are no hugs in our household that don't involve Akira trying to squeeze between us, and she'll squeak or paw at you if you dare to stop petting her before she's ready. She adores the little kids in the park, though, even when they're pulling on her fur or attacking her with hugs, so hopefully we'll be okay.
