Three Doggies Own ME!!!!!

1). dachshund -- Toby "Pee" (because that is all he did as a puppy) -- and he weighs 21 pounds (!!!) He is 6 and incredibly spoiled. I just call him Toby, but his "full name" is on his ACK card

2). pomeranian -- "Prince" Henry -- he is hyper, snootie (hence the name), and adorable! Henry is 8.

3). cocker/mix -- Jessie -- she is 15 years old, has arthiritis, doesn't see or hear quite as well as she used to, but she still plays like a puppy and keeps the little boys in line.

i'll try to remember to put some pictures up in my profile sometime this week. I've been meaning to do that for a while now

My baby Reagan....

4 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Sweet, loving, playful - I swear he thinks he's human

He gets his last parvo shot and first rabies shot today. Amazingly, he loves going to the vet!

I swear he would be the easiest dog to steal because you would just fall in love with him and he would hop right in the car with you without thinking twice.

His best friend is a Jack Russell Terrier named Jack. Jack is 4 years old and the baby of my best friend.

Great, now I want to go home and play with Reagan

Garigsby, my dog too!! He loves the vets cuz they have cats who live there. Any chance to go see the cats! I wonder if hes faking being sick sometimes :)

A favourite quote:

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

From Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul

Things we can learn from a Dog.

1. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
3. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
4. When it's in your best interest, always practice obedience.
5. Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
6. Take naps and always stretch before rising.
7. Run, romp and play daily.
8. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
9. Be loyal.
10. Never pretend to be something you're not.
11. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
12. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
13. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
14. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
15. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
16. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
17. When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
18. No matter how often you are criticized, don't play into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back to make friends.

LOL, Moon. I have both doggies and kitties, and I love them all. The dogs adore both of the cats, but the older cat would rather have nothing to do with either the dogs or the kitten. Crotchedy old thing. :)

Another wonderful thread !!!

I'm owned by three dogs and three cats. All have been "rescued" from the local animal shelter or the street. They now have the awesome responsibilities of making sure the couch doesn't move from it's designated location, keeping hubby's half of the bed occupied until he get's home, and ridding the yard of anything that might possibly walk, crawl, slither or fly across it. They are humungous pains in the posterior but I wouldn't trade them for anything. Well, maybe I'd trade the coonhound for anything that DOESN'T bay . . . . but since she's hubby's dog I guess I won't.

Pictures can be found here --

And Karuuna -- I can empathize with you. I also have a "crotchety old thing" who has decided in his advanced years that life without the others would be much nicer (which is very strange because he's never been an "only child"!)

Top Ten Reasons Why Dogs
Are Better Pets Than Cats"

1. Dogs will tilt their heads and try to
understand every word you say. Cats will
ignore you and take a nap.

2. Cats look silly on a leash.

3. When you come home from work, your
dog will be happy and lick your face. Cats
will still be mad at you for leaving in the first place.

4. Dogs will give you unconditional love until
the day they die. Cats will make you pay for
every mistake you've ever made since the
day you were born.

5. A dog knows when you're sad. And he'll
try to comfort you. Cats don't care how you feel, as
long as you remember where the can opener is.

6. Dogs will bring you your slippers. Cats will
drop a dead mouse in your slippers.

7. When you take them for a ride, dogs will
sit on the seat next to you. Cats have to have
their own private basket, or they won't go at all.

8. Dogs will come when you call them. And
they'll be happy. Cats will have someone take
a message and get back to you.

9. Dogs will play fetch with you all day long.
The only thing cats will play with all day long
are small rodents or bugs, preferably ones
that look like they're in pain.

10. Dogs will wake you up if the house is on
fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door.

Cinnamongirl!! I LOVE IT! (fearing wrath of Moon) I look at the dog and I watch the cat...one luvvvvvvvvvvs me, expects nothing but a pat on the head and the other tolerates my existence until her food is put in a freshly washed food bowl! Which is which?

What is a Cat?

1. Cats do what they want.
2. They rarely listen to you.
3. They're totally unpredictable.

5. When you want to be alone, they want to play.
6. They expect you to cater to their every whim.

8. They leave hair everywhere.
9. They 'let' you pet them if you re lucky.
10. They are murder on your self esteem
11. They're aloof and shun you if they're displeased with you

What is a Dog?

1. Dogs spend all day sprawled on the most comfortable piece of
furniture in the house.
2. They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but don't hear you when you're in the same room.
3. They can look dumb and lovable all at the same time.
4. They growl when they are not happy.
5. When you want to play, they want to play.
6. When you want to be alone, they want to play.
7. They leave their toys everywhere.
8. They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss.
9. They go right for your crotch as soon as they meet you.
10. If they can't eat it or screw it, they pee on it.
12. You know their mood all the time..
13. When they really like you alot....they'll hump your leg.

Conclusion: They're tiny men in little fur coats.

***** Cat Diary *****

DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture.
Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.

DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair ... must try this on their bed.

DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm... not working according to plan...

DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason, I was chosen for the water torture. This time, however, it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid? My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly, I overheard my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how
to use it to my advantage.

DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and may be snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak), and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured.
But I can wait. It is only a matter of time.....
