I'm bored & snuggled up with my dog today binge watching OITNB. Let's see pics of everyone's pets! (Because unlike photos of co-worker's kids doing everything under the sun- I don't get tired of seeing cute kitties and puppies!)
Y'all this is RIGHT up my alley. I love my sweet fur babies a little too much! (Sorry in advance if these pics are huge, mobile bumping) This is Sophia, our Shorkie (Shi Zhou/yorkie mix) Our black kitty Ozzy And my fat chunk, Bentley
This was my sweet Penelope. She was my first baby and my first great love. Though she is no longer with us, she will forever be my "pet". Her one year angel day will be September 8. I miss her little face so much.
Sorry for being a downer about my silly dog. People have real issues and I'm over here boohooing over a dog.
This is our puppy Arya. She's about 9 1/2 months and such a pain in our ass sometimes but I couldn't love her any more. She's a collie. Sorry if the pics are huge, I'm on mobile.
Awwww @Mother0fDragons imo losing a pet is a real issue and I'm so sorry for your loss. Also, one of my pups name is Penelope
So stoked to see this thread today because I was just laughing at my ridiculous dogs but thought ppl in WTO might not care to hear me babbling about them Ha! I've been madly cleaning all day and the dogs get super antsy when I'm sweeping and stuff but as soon as I sat on the loveseat for a break all three of them are beside me, passed TFO They just love snuggles! I couldn't get a pic right now but here's a similar situation from the other day (also sorry if pics are huge):
@Mother0fDragons I'm sorry about your loss. I'll be a downer with you and post a picture of my cat, who we lost nearly a year ago as well. His name was Romeo, because he purred so much, and here's a picture of him stealing DH's side of the bed.
First time doing a pic on mobile bump, so I apologize for the size if it's large.
The first pic is my precious boy Hank. We lost him about a month ago to pug dog encephalitis which is a terrible disease but treatment got us 6 more months with him. I miss him every day!!!The next is our boy Dally, 8 yo and the last is Sadie, 4 yo. I'm beyond obsessed with my dogs lol
@Mother0fDragons@magnolia131 I'm so sorry for your losses! I consider fur babies to be family too and it makes my heart hurt when people lose a pet. *creepy internet stranger hugs*
This is Daisy. The pics are a few months old and she doesn't have a top knot anymore but we're getting there. I shaved her for winter and am trying to find that middle ground between beautiful long hair and easy enough maintenance. She's almost a year and a half and weighs 3.5lbs so she's full grown. Her tear stains also aren't that bad anymore since we had her puppy teeth removed. She had 11! that wouldn't come out on there own and were causing pain. I can't imagine having 11 extra teeth. Before her surgery she actually had 2 rows of front teeth, one of puppy teeth the other of all her adult teeth.
Here are our 2 kitties: Puckett is the one you will never see, is always hiding. He was DHs cat before dating me, and it literally took him YEARS to finally accept me. He still prefers DH and sleeps with him, by his head every night. We got Salem together as a rescue kitty. She's the total opposite of Puckett. Social, will let anyone pet her. She's all female, very temperamental and sassy. Loves to be on our porch and I think would love to be an outdoor kitty, but I'm afraid she would never come back or get beat up by the other cats. She's tiny, but fierce.
Here's our Smokey! He's a Lab/German Shepard mix. The first picture is of him at 3 months old and the second one he's fully grown at 4 years old and around 90 lbs. He is an outdoor dog and loves protecting our 2.5 acres and "taking care" of anything that comes into his territory.
Here are the current pets. Agatha Maxine "Aggie" is a 5 ish year old chug (pug Chihuahua). Shorty Puppup is an 8 year old chiweenie (Chihuahua weiner dog). Mohawk Dinosaur "Mo" is a 12 week old domestic short hair and Milo Batman is an 8 week old domestic short hair .
@Westy99 He's gorgeous!! Looks like a sweetheart! @JennyV56 Your one cat reminds me of my new kitty @mrs35 hahahaha!!! He's so cute sitting up there! @shstephenson@LadyMillil woot for black cats!

This is Oliver, hes a 2.5 year old Havanese. He is the sweetest dog in the world. All he wants to do is be with you (to the point that he must eat in the room you are in), and his favorite thing to do is go on a long walk. In fact we spent all day yesterday walking the Boston Harbor Walk, catching pokemon (yes, I'm into that) and enjoying the beautiful day. He had a blast!

This is Rusty. He is a snuggly attention whore. I got him from the Humane Society about 5 years ago. I never would have thought I'd be a person who said my cat had personality, but this little guy has a definite 'tude.
@MotherofDragons big hugs!! We had to put our great dane down this past spring and then two weeks later my cat of seven years got out and never came home I feel your pain! Good thing there are so many furry animals out there waiting to find families xoxo
Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Miley. I've owned my mother since I was 8 weeks old. I have her wrapped around my little toe. I am 8 1/2 years old now. I am a boxer/lab mix. Some say I'm spoiled rotten. I disagree - I deserve everything and more!

@Westy99 Lars is a brindle baby looks like! So cute. Yes, they do have funny personalities. Miley understand the English language very well but is very choosy to what she will respond to. The boxer in her made her the most energetic puppy ever. Did not think I was going to survive the puppy stages.

@SP128 I still might not survive hahaha. Lars is 1.5 yrs- with the energy of a boxer and the endurance of a lab. It's exhausting. Good practice for chasing a toddler I think! He is a brindle baby. I lovvvveeee his coloring!

@kls2016 Sorry for the loss of your boy, Hank. Holy cow, he was precious!
@shstephenson I will accept all the creepy internet hugs, thanks!
