Post your pet's photo

[Reverend_Smitty]

I don't have a pet but I've been at my mother's house all week hanging out with her Cocker Spaniel puppy. I must say we've grown quite attached this past week, I'll be sad to leave her when I go back home.

Here's a picture of her a few months ago


and here's a picture of her sitting on my lap looking like an idiot the other day


Now it's your turn DU!

[LaurenG]

1. Both of them

[4morewars]

2. Awwww, what a cutie !

The dog too ! ;)

Here's Jack, the Jack Russel Terrier:

[Wcross]

22. What a cute dog!

Jack looks like a wonderful friend!

[SeattleGirl]

3. My dog and one of my cats

This is my dog Chloe:


And this is my oldest cat, Miss Kitty The Queen of the Universe:


Yes, she's very smart!

[GirlinContempt]

4. Ion the positively charged wondercat

Ion enjoys crackers, olives, chasing his own tail and naps.

[GirlinContempt]

59. Ion needs more love

[billyskank]

68. What a cool name for a cat!

:hi:

[GirlinContempt]

93. Thanks! I like it

When I was considering getting him a friend, we thought maybe:
Molecule
Isomer
Isotope
Neutrino


</nerd>

[fudge stripe cookays]

71. Ion is hilarious.

And purty! (Looks like our dearly departed Poohcat)

[GirlinContempt]

94. Awwww

He IS a gorgeous cat
Yours musta been adorable too, sorry you lost him

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. This is Milo.

He is the softest, cuddliest cat in the world.

[spindrifter]

6. Is that an electric cat bed?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. It is.

Milo is spoiled.

[spindrifter]

24. I had no idea there was such decadence

for kitties. What a lucky!

[CatWoman]

35. where did you get that?

and how much was it???

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. Here:

The one shown here is a new model, a little fancier and a few $$ more than Milo's. But he loves his bed. We live in Minnesota, in an old drafty house, and the bed keeps his furry little butt warm when he can't snuggle up to me. It doesn't heat unless there's a cat in it -- a weight-activated switch turns it on, and then it heats up to a cat's body temperature.

[B Calm]

86. I have an inexpensive heat pad in my cats bed..

[tuvor]

8. Here's my pug with his Christmas pillow.

[SeattleGirl]

9. OMG! What an absolute cutie pie!

:loveya:

[tuvor]

11. And don't think he doesn't work it to his advantage!

He's pretty sure he's God's gift to everyone. :)

[SeattleGirl]

12. I bet!

Those four-legged furry creatures sure know how to work a room, don't they?

[DainBramaged]

10. My Old Fart Buddha with his Bubbie, 11 1/2 years old

I let him sleep on the couch now (reason for old comforter) because he deserves it.
He takes his Bubbie everywhere, and I can't take it away to wash it either.
He is a great old Lab and my bestest friend and companion.

[tuvor]

14. Our Lab's a great boy.

So glad to have rescued him at the SPCA.

Your boy looks so happy and comfortable. You're both lucky.

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. He is just the cutest darned dog. I love the picture you've posted of him

with his bubbie in his mouth...it's so silly looking. :hi: Post it again. :bounce:

[DainBramaged]

43. Okies

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. Thanks! I just got the giggles again.

I can't believe he can fit the whole thing in his mouth. :D

[cfield]

67. He's such a handsome dog

I love labs, and he's precious!

[momophile]

13. my kitty Lani

oh and what a cute puppy that is!

[no name no slogan]

15. a two-fer

And here's Sugar Smack's beautiful little girl, Sophie:

[qnr]

16. Alinak (Al) sleeping with his meerkat

Edit: Al is going on 14, blind and almost totally deaf, but still running (in a manner of speaking) around like crazy.

[ET Awful]

17. Okay

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

18. Elijah, 7 years old

[qnr]

42. Reminds me of a bear I saw in a european circus once - what a cutie

:hi:

[SW FL Dem]

75. What kind of dog is Elijah?

He looks like a scottie or a cairn terrier. I've lived with terriers for most of my life and I recognize that "up" or begging position. He is adorable.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

91. He's a Skye Terrier.

http://www.akc.org/breeds/skye_terrier/index.cfm

The majority of terriers have attained something of their present-day form within the last century, but the Skye Terrier of nearly four centuries ago was like the specimens of today.

Thus we find the Skye Terrier of today. His flowing coat is the same as the one that proved such a grand protection in the days when his only occupation was to challenge vicious animals that otherwise might have crippled him at a single bite. Perhaps this long coat has been a handicap, for all followers of this game old working terrier have witnessed him surpassed in popularity by one after another of the newer breeds. Still they are reluctant to change him in any manner.

The breed takes its name from the chief of those northwestern islands of Scotland that, as far back as he can be traced, formed his native home, and in which he was found in greatest perfection. He is the only terrier distinctively belonging to the northwestern islands that is not common to the whole of Scotland. Those who have the best practical knowledge of the Skye maintain that he is without rival in his own peculiar domain, and that wherever there are rocks, dens, burrow, cairns, or coverts to explore, or waters to take to, his services should be called.

The Skye was the most widely known of all the terriers down to the end of the 19th century. Queen Victoria's early interest and Sir Edwin Landseer's paintings featuring the breed helped attract attention. He was kept in all the English-speaking countries. Since then he has slipped quietly into the background, yet his admirers in England and Scotland - where he has maintained his greatest foothold - are happy to point to the time when "a duchess would almost be ashamed to be seen in the park unaccompanied by her long-coated Skye."

[SW FL Dem]

95. I should have guessed that based on his ears

I just have cairns that aren't properly groomed so their ears sometimes look like Skyes.

[El Supremo]

19. My Irish Babies

[spindrifter]

26. Are they litter mates?

They look very mischievious.

[El Supremo]

38. No, they are half-cousins, once removed.

And they aren't nearly as much of devils as our other ones were.

[Ariana Celeste]

20. Here's Peanut, loving on my friend's daughter

Anytime my friend's daughter is over, Peanut cannot leave her alone. :7

23. My little Usurper, doing what he loves to do most

and

[fudge stripe cookays]

69. Hmmm...separated at birth?

Molly likes the same things!

Stealing dad's office chair:


Sitting in the sink:

[DS1]

72. Uncanny, no?

Does Molly like to play with dead things, too?

[fudge stripe cookays]

73. Not really...

she likes em with a little life in em so she can evilly pluck wings off or otherwise eviscerate them.

But just insects. She's an indoor cat, so she can't kill much.

Her favorite pastime lately has been watching the falling leaves from the office window and starting every time one falls.

"WOH! There's another one! Hey! One over there! LOOK! Another leaf!"

She stands in front of the window in the morning glaring at us until someone opens the blinds.

[Wcross]

25. Remember- you asked for it.

Buddy and his pup Moe with Flea Taxi and Chairman Meow.

Curly- the sweetest little guy in the world.

Angel-Mother of Larry,curly and Peedee.

Peedee.

Larry.

[spindrifter]

29. Flea Taxi and Chairman Meow!

Those have got to be some of the best names I've run across--on a par with a cat we once had--John Cougar Meloncat. I called him Melon--the vet called him John.

[Maestro]

27. Got some very photogenic pets here at DU.

Here are mine.

This is my first dog, Heidi, circa 1968.



Now our present dog, Larkspur.





Looking regal here...

[chookie]

58. Larkspur is GORGEOUS

What a magnificent animal. I bow before his majesty!

[Maestro]

80. She can be a pain in the arse though.

She is sort of neurotic, but we also had one of her sisters, a dog by the same sire, and she was downright mental. However, I don't think I will ever own a different dog. I love these Belgian Malinois. They are smart beyond belief and very loving, (also protective.)

[fudge stripe cookays]

76. Larkspur is beautful!

Is she a Turveren? Malinois? Or just a very dark Shepherd? My parents had one years ago.

[Maestro]

81. Very nice FSC.

I've never met anyone who knew right off the bat. She is a Malinois; an incredibly smart and loving dog, not to mention protective! She is our second from the same sire, a champion in his sport. We have a breeder friend in San Antonio.

[fudge stripe cookays]

87. Gorgeous.

I did a lot of studying breeds before we got Fargo. We wanted a watchdog, but something friendly.

I love Goldens, which wasn't really in the same ballpark, but I love their pretty faces. And then I read that Pyrs are good watchdoogs because of the breeding, and make good latch key dogs. They're very independent-- they can handle being left alone all day while their owners are at work.

And he can do that, with only the occasional shredding of a roll of toilet paper. (Northern is his favorite!)

But MAN-- anyone gets near our front walk, sidewalk, driveway...if he even hears a noise he thinks might be strangers, he LOSES it. When the UPS guy brings us a package during the day or the Chinese deliveryman brings us dinner, he literally BODY SLAMS himself at the door. Scares the crap out of everybody. But he's really a big sweetheart.

So I got a pretty, "vicious" boy. :D

[Maestro]

88. What breed is Fargo? -nt

[fudge stripe cookays]

92. A Great Pyrenees...

http://clubs.akc.org/gpca/gpcabreed.html

[evlbstrd]

30. This is evldg.

Actually, her name is Bear. The poor girl is feeling her age.



edit to add evlct, Boogerhead.



Petey, the evlccktl, is with a new owner. Thank god.

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. She is beautiful....

I just want to hug her. :)

[evlbstrd]

37. Yes, she is.

And she'd let you hug for as long as you can stand it. And more.

[Scout1071]

31. Ok, here goes! Any excuse to show off Senator Boxer

(a/k/a Spike):

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. That top picture is one of my favorite DUer pet pictures of all time.

:hi:

[Scout1071]

50. Awwww, shucks. Thanks MrsG.

Happy New Year to ya!

:party: :toast: :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. Jessie, My Sheltie and Merlin...our noble Ruler...

What a dork...

Even more dorkness...




she's actually very pretty when she isn't acting like a clown...

Here's is Merlin...who always manages to look serious, even when he's attempting to head butt our bedroom door open.



He's a little "pudgy"...

[fudge stripe cookays]

70. Pictures of Jessie

always make me smile! She has such a sweet face.

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

98. She likes to be smiled over. Pictures of Fargo are always so beautiful...

He reminds me so much of Alex, my neighbor's Great Pyr/Golden Retriever mix. They have the most noble heads and and are just sweet for such a big doggy. :hi:

[baldguy]

36. Zelda!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

49. Why does a cat lick his......?

Because he can...

Great pic.

[PatriotGames]

Bada bing!

[bettyellen]

48. Here's Caindy and Sweet Pea, before I adopted them....

they are as soft as cashmere....I'm waiting for their coats to grow in more before doing my own pics of them

[spindrifter]

103. What kind of cats

are they, and how old? How long does it take for hair? The ears are quite remarkable.

[bettyellen]

105. they are cornish rex, mutants decended from a single barn cat from

a farm in cornwall, GB, in the fifties. normal cats have three kinds of hair, and they have only one kind- the downy undercoat. and their hair is curly, including the whiskers. it's common when they give birth, as my girls did sometime this spring, to lose their hair for a while. i got them in the beginning of september and only their chests and legs had enough hair length to be wavy, but they still felt downy soft. it's been coming in slowly and is finally showing a slight wave on their backs. they are very smart, agile and quite active and very attached to their humans. they love to get under the covers with you because they lack that extra insulation other cats have. also, they don't seem to have any dander and don't shed at all, which is what interested me because i do have allergies and hate vacuming and cat hair everywhere.
they are still rare enough to be pretty expensive, and you have to wait 6 month to adopt because the breeder will wait to see if it'll be a champion show quality cat. i got mine from a rescue in tenessee (through a search on Petfinder) who knew of a breeder dumping 5 of them, my two were said to be bad mommas.
here are some pics to show you better the coat and the cute little alien faces common to the breed. they come in pretty much all colors as they were mixed in with other types to spread the gene. my Caindy has about as much coat as the kitten on the bottom now, it's starting to look like swirly brushstrokes.


www. rexphiles.com has rescues available and more info and of course www.petfinder is great for finding all sorts of animals that need a home.

[spindrifter]

106. Those ears still get me!

Thanks for posting the info about them. I will keep an eye out in my area for them--not to get one, since my Daisy has a strong prey instinct, but just to see one. Happy New Year!

[bettyellen]

107. and to touch them! they feel like the softest cashmere.

and thank god, they are not aloof at all, they have more like a puppy personality too.
i wanted a puppy really, but i couldn't handle it, they are really the nest best thing!
happy new year to you too!

:hi:

[lavenderdiva]

51. Awwww.... she's BEAUTIFUL!!!

I love Cocker Spaniel Parti-varieties! Here are mine:

Libby




Emma

I adopted both of them from Cocker Spaniel Rescue of Houston, and just love them to bits! I don't have children, so they are both spoiled rotten, as they should be. They don't know they are dogs. Libby loves to sing to opera, and Emma is showing her age a little bit, and just loves to snuggle.

[buzzard]

52. My bad birds

[katamaran]

53. We have a Red Lored Amazon too

Turkey is at least 30-35 years old.

[buzzard]

55. How is your red lored in terms of personality mine is afraid of everything

[katamaran]

56. Pretty nervy actually

Turkey is pretty nervy most of the time. HATES ME with a passion. Not fond of him myself...he's my mom's bird and he was jealous of me ever since my parents brought me home from the hospital. He's pretty talkative, and is really good at making appropriate sounds depending on the converstation at hand (for instance: whenever my parents argue, he sits on top of his cage and shouts "OH JOY!" Smartass. He also laughs when we do and has a particular noise we interpret as "Thank You" when we give him peanuts) He sees my mom as his mate...he's very affectionate to her, and somewhat protective. He tends to try to explore the downstairs as well, which is a problem with four 100lb dogs afoot. I suppose he's a good bird...I'm just not a bird person.

[katamaran]

54. Our four Berners

We have four Bernese Mountain Dogs (3 girls and a foster boy who will probably end up staying here). Collective weight is about 400 lbs. They're my mom's babies, but as long as I live at home, they're mine too ;-)


(l-r) Talley (4), Sera (3), Baker the foster boy (3), and Audie (2)

I also have a Border Collie mix, Abbey, with my boyfriend (Abbey lives with me until I can move out)

[chookie]

57. My darling greyhound

I've had him for 2 months -- he is an absolute darling that I adore.

[B Calm]

85. Guinness eye's are freakin' awesome! I think that's a neat idea

no-kill shelter, wish we had one around here!

[Vektor]

108. Guinness is a beauty, for sure.

I like the ides of the no-kill shelter too. AHS has been around for decades, they are non-profit, they house all manner of animals indefinitely, even the sick and terminally ill. They also do a lot of rescue work, like in the hurricane zones. I have a very high opinion of them.

[B Calm]

62. Here is a picture of our grandaughter and grandson. The Yellow

Lab is Sadie and the Chocolate Lab is Scout. Butch the little black kitten is on the couch and keeping his distance from the dogs..

97. A Tale of Two Cities

My daughter found Otis in a cat carrier in a Philadelphia parking lot. The note identified him as a year-old male did not offer a reason for abandoning him like that. We speculate that the reason could be that he gets very demanding at times. He's noisy.

The Otis saga continues - once homeless, he now lives part time with me and part time with my daughter. Otis has gotten quite used to living in two cities. It's perfectly normal! In his spare time, he looks out the window and his tail twitches when he sees a bird.


Otis

[TallahasseeGrannie]

99. You asked for it!

[ScreamingMeemie]

100. That is so darned CUTE!!!

I love it.:hi: Is that your grandbaby?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

101. Thanks

Yep, that is Grandbaby number 1 about a year ago.

[ScreamingMeemie]

102. Looks like he has a guardian angel...beautiful photo.

:hi:

[seemunkee]

104. She's a monster and put up a good fight

But I won in the end.
