@nopegoat I was going to do a GTKY thread like this! Great minds think alike!
I'll start!
I have a 10 year old Havnese Shihtzu named Lexi. She is a stubborn and sassy but super sweet girl. Shes had a rough life and we sometimes refer to her as a gypsy puppy because shes had so many owners but shes here to stay with us! We love her so much ❤
We had a rottweiler that passed awsy one year ago this October. He had throat cancer. We had him about 6 or 7 years. I'll have to find a picture of him.
But we currently have our calico cat named izzy. Shes about 2 i res ued her from the pound. Her and DS are best friends. She loves my kids.

We have one dog, a yellow Labrador named Savannah who will turn 7 in January. Funniest story lately is how last Friday when we took the girls to the park, she stole and ate an entire package of Oreos off the counter..........
I'm sorry to hear about your pup @psychobutthead Its always so hard to lose a pet.
Yeah we had to make the decision to put him down and end his suffering. The vet was great. They cremated him and took a mold of his paw print before hand for us for free. They where amazing how they treated us and handled it.

@psychobutthead that's definitely a hard decision but it's even more hard to see your fur baby in pain and suffering. That's so sweet your vet took a paw print for you.
What kind do you have? One dog, we think he's a Yorkie/silky mix, but he's a rescue so we aren't sure. His name is Tyrion (we're big GoT fans). How old are they? 5 Any funny or special stories about them? This dog serves the most severe side-eye I've ever seen when his delicate sensibilities are upset. When DD was first born and would cry he would side-eye the crap out of her, then sigh loudly, and get up and dramatically move across the bed. We joke that he always wonders why we brought home the loud, bald puppy.
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
I guess our funny story for Walter is that the pic I posted of him was from my son's newborn photo shoot and he went and sat in the middle of the lights on his own because he wanted attention He's a total attention whore lol.

Me: 32 │ DH: 35 Married 8/16/13 BFP#1 DS 11/13/16 BFP# 2 MMC dx @ 13w 10/30/18 BFP# 3 Preemie DD born at 38w (IUGR) on 8/28/19 weighing 5.5lbs. Our little miracle
I have 2 cats, one 10 year old Sox (as in Red Sox) and one 9 year old cat Sushi. We love them so much that when it was time to move to Hawaii (a no rabies state), DH stayed behind in CT to wait out their obligatory 3 months quarantine period in the comfort of our home (versus moving with DD and me and having the cats go into a boarding shelter for the 3 months). Here’s Sushi. Sox prefers to hide from people so we rarely get pictures of her.
Our 3rd cat (Spam) completely bonded with DD from the moment she came home and were best friends until he passed away 2 years ago. I’m sad that #2 will never get to meet Spam. Also amazed that Sushi went from ignoring DD to becoming her loving and protective big brother almost overnight after we lost Spam.
Stuck in the box. These are my pets. The Lab is Orion and the other dog is Panzer. My sweet mare is Amira and not pictured is my husbands gelding Rowdy.
Lots of animals here but only a few we actually consider pets.
We have two black labs named Banjo and Bella. They are 13years old. Banjo is more H's dog and Bella favors anyone with a tennis ball. They have deemed themselves our boys protectors and are never far away.
We have 2 cats. Bliss is 14 and Chewy is only a few months old. Both are rescues. Bliss we got from a shelter after H made me cry in a pet store ha! And Chewy my H found at a gas station and didn't have the heart to leave him. Bliss
Chewy
We have one goat that we consider a pet. His name is Count. We got him from a family local to us as a bottle baby. He's about 9 months old now. His name comes from Count Dracula because when we got him he was solid black with these long batlike ears. He's the sweetest thing ever!
Then there's Mr Beefy. He's my baby! A friend of ours has cattle and his mom ended up rejecting him. Our friend called us on Mother's day weekend last year and was like "hey I have a deal of a lifetime for you. Free calf." I didn't want him but couldn't let him die so we said bring him over. Love at first sight! It was a crazy battle, we had to put a tube down his throat to get him to eat, then he fought pneumonia, and a joint infection. He's a little over a year now, HUGE, and perfectly healthy. He's love attention and will harass the neighbors by mooing at them if they ignore him.

LOL! Its probably a good thing it's such a pain in the butt to resize pics. I would have added a lot more. I have three special roosters, then Nope Goat and our first doe, then our geese and ducks..

Husband and I made up a blended family. I brought 2 dogs (Gracie on the left, Sheldon on the right) and my husband brought Lucy (middle) to the mix. It was quite the montley crew of pooches and I don't know if i'd ever choose to have 3!
Sadly, we had to put Lucy down a little over a year ago, so now were are two.
@zuuls_mom I grew up with mini schnauzers, they’re the best!
We we have two golden retrievers now- one is 5, the other is 3. They are so good with ds, it’s so much fun watching him grow up with them. He wakes up and starts calling their names immediately. It’s adorable.
They’re the sweetest, sassiest pups. The one on the left likes to steal the baby’s stuffed animals out of his crib- pulls them through the slats and brings them to me. The one on the right loves to snuggle and eat.
We have a cat named Minerva, “Minnie” for short. We adopted her this year from the humane society and she is just the funniest cat. She is sweet, but not super cuddly usually. Except for recently she’s been laying all over me, I think she knows I’m pregnant.
She loves my son more then anyone and he loves her. When we adopted her I knew she was the one because she wasn’t jumpy or scared of my then 3 year old wanting to love on her.
Im a HUGE Harry Potter fan so her name comes from that. ⚡️
This is my 15 year old ACD mix, Jane. She is sassy. A couple of months ago, she got into the trash and ate a corn cob and had to have surgery for impaction. She’s a trooper.
I have two Maltese’s Pups who are the best. DH had Maltese’s growing up and he is allergic to most other dogs. Also My profile pic is the closest thing to my childhood dog who I lost two years ago. I got really sentimental when I came across this picture looking for a profile pic ❤️ She died a few weeks before DD was born.
What kind do you have? The sweetest wirehaired pointing griffon ever,Archer. He’s amazing. How old are they? 4.5 years old. Any funny or special stories about them? Archer is the absolute best. He’s a hunting breed, but when I was pregnant with DS, we just purchased 6 baby chickens and Archer looooved them. He actually loved them so much, he allows all of the grown hens to walk on him and pick grass or bugs off of him when he’s outside. Crazy dog hasn’t ever even tried to eat, chase, even lick? one of them ever. So sweet.
Ok i had to dig on my fb to find a pic. That was our dog at about a year or so old. I think my daughter was maybe 5 ish here? And theres a pic of my derpy cat. She had just woken up 😂

I second @psychobutthead I want to go too, it looks amazing!!! @nopegoat I especially love your cow!
Love all the photos of everyone's pets!! We have one dog, although if it were up to me we'd have 14. I'm a huge animal lover, especially dogs. Our dog is a pit mix adopted from the SPCA where I volunteer. He was our first baby and is seriously the best dog I've ever known...we're so lucky to have him in our family💙

Here’s our fur baby! We found him one rainy night in the McDonald’s parking lot. He was so tiny, he fit in the palm of my husband’s hand. That was the year my husband and I started dating, so he’ll be 9 years old in October. We found him right before Thanksgiving, so we say his birthday is Halloween. It’s fitting for a black cat and close enough!
What kind do you have? A shorthaired domestic cat, Pekoe, a cockapoo, Mocha, and a terrier mix, Kingsley.
How old are they? 12, 8, and 6 respectively.
Any funny or special stories about them? Pekoe was a stray, found on the side of the road by one of my coworkers when I was in university. We bought Mocha off Kijiji (Canadian Craigslist) which, in hindsight, probably means she was a puppy mill puppy. By the time we got Kingsley, we smarted up and went to the humane society. He's our difficult dog, but it's totally our fault - we got him as a puppy and had no idea about socializing him properly. The things you learn...
