[Fleshdancer]

Bailey with her favorite toy:



Night time Bailey after my daughter tucked her in:

[Gormy Cuss]

1. Your daughter tucks in the dog? That's too precious.

Looks like Bailey really enjoys it too.:D

[Fleshdancer]

4. they get along famously

although my daughter isn't a fan of Bailey waking her up by jumping on her chest and licking her face. I feel a little bad sometimes for encouraging it...it's just sooo funny. :D

[CBR]

2. Never pass up the chance to show off my Abraham...

[Fleshdancer]

3. cuuuuute!

He looks like he's trying very hard to look like a tough boy for the camera. Beautiful coat.

[Minimus]

38. What a handsome boy!

[guitar man]

54. So serious

That's a great looking boxer!

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Awwww! What a cute pup! :) My little dog, Jack...

Inside and out: :loveya:

[Fleshdancer]

7. Jack is adorable!

He looks like a little Ewok in the first pic! Love the ears :D

[Rhiannon12866]

17. Thanks! He's quite the little personality...

He's a Brussels Griffon and they're often likened to Ewoks. When I adopted my first BG, Meneken, my friend said he looked like an Ewok. I said that I thought he looked more like a Furby, so I took pix... ;)

Meneken :loveya:

[Minimus]

37. Awwww... what a cutie pie!

[Rhiannon12866]

84. Thanks!

He's my baby. He was my sig pic until I replaced him with the oil covered duck :(. but he'll be back eventually... :)

[guitar man]

6. Aww, how precious

All tucked in :)

Here's my daughter and the new pup Olive in a bonding moment :)

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Awwwwww, what a great pic!

That takes the prize, adorable! Cute baby and a sweet pup... :loveya:

[guitar man]

16. Thanks

I was hoping when I posted it it wasn't a cuteness overload :D

[Rhiannon12866]

21. I'm afraid that it is...

But isn't that the point of this thread? :D :hi:

[guitar man]

27. Yeah you're right

And since that's the point, might as well go for the full Monty of cuteness overload. My daughter and her Birdie having a little party all their own a while back :)




God I miss that dog, she was so good with my daughter

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Awwww... They look like such great friends...

How wonderful for both of them. There is nothing like a bond between a child and a pet, a terrific life experience for both of them. And though I know how much you must miss your Birdie - I've been there and sure understand - it appears that Olive has also bonded with your daughter, and you can't ask for a happier ending than that... :hug:

[guitar man]

31. Indeed

When one door closes another opens. I'm watching Olive with great interest, since she's the same breed mix as Birdie was. I'm being careful to not hold Birdie's yardstick up to her but if she turns out to be half the dog Birdie was, I may have found the perfect crossbreed. :)

[Rhiannon12866]

43. There's no doubt about it,

Olive was meant to find you, and vice versa. And I think it's true that we all gravitate towards the same sort of pets, certainly for a reason. Mine seem to find me, and I've previously adopted senior dogs from rescue (except for Jack, who found me at five months...), but I've never once been disappointed... :)

On edit: In case you missed him up-thread, here's my Jack: :loveya:

[guitar man]

45. Awe he's so cute :)

My uncle has BGs and I just love them :)

[Rhiannon12866]

83. They certainly are personalities...

I've had two BGs, both rescue, believe it or not. They're definitely unusual, have seen only one other in real life, besides mine. My breed was cockers, grew up with one ;), and I've had four in my life. But when I called about a cocker up for adoption, I was told that this dog had been placed, but there was another dog that needed a home ASAP. His elderly owner had died. That was my little Meneken, my eight pound wonder, and the rest is history... :)

Meneken :loveya:

[guitar man]

48. Oops

In all my gushing about my big dogs I forgot to post a pic of China, my Shit Zu. :crazy:

[Fleshdancer]

49. China is sooo cute!!!!

I'm so glad you posted her pic! :applause:

[guitar man]

51. Thanks

She's only got one flaw, she doesn't know she's a little bitty dog, she thinks she's a 100lb bruiser. Delusions of grandeur that one has. :rofl:

[Minimus]

39. RIP Birdie.

:hug:

[Gormy Cuss]

44. Your daughter is so photogenic.

I love it when you post pix of her.

[guitar man]

46. Thanks

Yeah, the camera really loves her, I don't think I've taken a bad pic of her and I've taken a crapload of them lol

[Fleshdancer]

47. agreed.

She really is adorable and camera ready! :)

[Fleshdancer]

12. too much cute in one pic

Beautiful! In a perfect world, all little girls and boys would experience the love and companionship of a puppy.

[guitar man]

20. Right you are

I couldn't imagine not having pups around, grew up with them on the farm.

Losing her Birdie has been really hard on her but it looks like the new pup is helping to take the sting out of it somewhat.

[ceile]

81. You adopted Olive!

Yeah!!!

[Minimus]

8. My Mimic:

[Minimus]

10. Sonic and Frolic

Her big brother Sonic and her big sister Frolic when she was a baby:



Sonic is in doggy heaven and Frolic is in NY with her daddy.

[Fleshdancer]

15. they are both beautiful n/t

[Minimus]

34. I miss them both... especially Sonic.

He was my first and when he passed away a little piece of my heart went with him. I miss Frolic too but know she is happy and in good hands with her daddy. She is actually coming to stay with me for a while this fall.

[guitar man]

53. Aww

RIP Sonic :hug:

[Fleshdancer]

13. with a face like that...

I'm just going to assume she's extremely spoiled. How could anyone say no to that face??!?!?

on edit: or he! I shouldn't assume the gender. People say "he" all the time when they see Bailey so I should know better.
2n edit: saw the post with her siblings so I'm glad I guessed right, lol!

[Minimus]

33. Yes... she is very spoiled.

[guitar man]

55. Aww

What a cutie :)

[blogslut]

57. Wadda face!

I love that face!

[marzipanni]

89. She's so sweet-

What breed is she? I think it's cute the way you named your dogs with names ending in "ic".
My favorite great aunt had a white dog that looked like Sonic. She named her 'Nutsy' as a pup, but when the dog got older and calmer she changed it to 'Nutsy-Whimsey', and then just 'Whimsey'. I think she was part Whippet.

[A HERETIC I AM]

11. The Fredster

Fred laying on my pillow. The cat LOVED me and was the only cat I ever really got along with (I'm a dog person).

He stayed with my ex gf in CA.

[Fleshdancer]

18. The Fredster looks like the life of the party!

LOVE the tail! :D

[Minimus]

40. Gorgeous kitty!

[one_voice]

14. Yay pictures....

My dog (Sugar) loves to be wrapped up in a blanket. When she's ready to go to sleep she'll stand on her blanket and stare at you till you cover her, and then she twirls until she's all wrapped up.

Sugar..she's a diva



Izzie...she's a dog's dog...and not supposed to be on the furniture.



nap time..

[Fleshdancer]

19. OMG!!!!

I don't even know where to start! :rofl:

The blanket twirling and the "I'm posing on this furniture that I don't belong on" are hilarious, but the nap time? Priceless! :rofl:

Thank you so much for sharing your pics, I love your dogs.

[one_voice]

22. Your dog under the blanket is too cute...

Izzie thinks if she doesn't look at me, I won't see her in the chair. That's the only furniture she gets on. She sneaks on when I leave the room.

They're like children, aren't they?

[Minimus]

35. Cute!

[guitar man]

56. Great looking dogs

I love boxers :)

[Forkboy]

23. Frisco, unhappy that his nap was interrupted by a sneeze....

[Fleshdancer]

26. ....

:rofl:


That's the funniest WTF look on a cat I've ever seen!

[Forkboy]

28. He has his ways of letting you know you've been an idiot.

:D

[Minimus]

41. What a face! So cute!

[ThomCat]

70. He looks like he must be a wonderful lap cat!

:loveya:

[Forkboy]

75. You give him a lap and he'll park there for the night.

He's one friendly kitteh! :)

:hi:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

100. Bro, that's LOLCat material right there. nt

[Contrary1]

24. Here's Twody!

Short for "two days", which is how long my hubby gave me to find her a different home. :rofl:
Twody is a trip. She brings me bugs, rodents, and worms! We have an outdoor run, accessible through a pet door. Not allowed to roam free; but that doesn't deter her.

She's two years old now, and absolutely the strangest feline I have come across.

[Fleshdancer]

30. She's a giver...must be a Democrat

...or as my daughter calls her: a "DemoCAT". :D

We're both looking at this adorable pic and we think Twody is too cute for your own good, lol. If she were any smaller, she could fit into the coke can.

[Minimus]

42. I love her coloring!

[Contrary1]

50. Here's how she looks today

Still a stinker.

[Fleshdancer]

52. a beautiful stinker with amazing eyes

May I assume she rules the roost? :D

[ThomCat]

69. That is a Beautiful Cat!

I'm glad you convinced your husband to let you keep her. :)

[Seneca]

25. This is my buddy

He's shy.

[Fleshdancer]

32. your buddy looks very wet

and shy. Shy and wet.

[Minimus]

36. How sweet!

[ThomCat]

58. Here are 5 of our 6

Our 21 and a half year old boxer/? mix, Jack. I have posted about him a few times. He was born with one eye. He has cancer. His back legs are getting weak. He is going blind in his one eye, and going deaf. But he is still strong and happy and not in any apparent pain. So we keep him happy, and keep him going, and he keeps giving us love every day.

We know he is mostly boxer. Almost definitely some pit bull in him. Beyond that, breed unknown.



Millie Dear, never leaves my bedroom. She is the reclusive cat. My beautiful tuxedo cat who sings and chirps to me every chance she gets.


Silver. The Alpha of the house. He has a twin brother, Gray, who died of cancer years ago. They were inseparable until Gray died. I think Silver still misses his brother as much as I do. :(



Here is a rare picture of all three dogs together. There is my JennaLaw holding Coco, our Chihuahua, who is my own personal little stalker. In the middle is Molly, a Pug/Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix who charms everyone she meets. And Then there is Jack pressing his head into my hands to get his cheek and ear scratched some more. :)



We have one more cat, Dora, who broke into our back porch over the winter and INSISTED on moving in with us. She is the loudest, most acrobatic, most playful of all the animals, which is only appropriate given that she is the youngest. I don't have a picture of her in my photobucket account. So I can't show you her. I'll have to correct that soon. :P

[Minimus]

63. What a great bunch of fur kids you got there!

[ThomCat]

77. Thank you.

:)

[Gormy Cuss]

72. Dora...

the explorer?

[ThomCat]

76. In part, yes.

:)

She was named Dora because she was, and is, an incredible explorer. She found her way into our back porch in the middle of the winter, and moved in.

But also, we're members of a Harry Potter themed meetup group. So she is also named after NyphaDORA Tonks, one of the characters in the Harry Potter Books.

And, it's also just short for her being aDORAble.

We had a contest to name her, and that name won because it was the most chosen name from all the ones people offered. It was the multipurpose name. :)

[lukasahero]

86. You have a 21 year old DOG?

Wow - what are you feeding him! :wow:

Hey TC - nice to see you back. Love your bunch of critters.

[ThomCat]

93. He will be 22 in a few months if he hangs on.

:)

So far he's doing well. Every day he trots to every food bowl, enjoys a good pee and poop, and gets lots of love. Then he takes lots of naps. What more could an old dog want. :loveya:

We are keeping a close eye on him day by day though. As much as we love him, we don't want to hold him here past the point where he's in pain and struggling if he gets to that point.

So far, one painkiller a day as a preventive measure seems to be all he needs to keep him comfortable. He can still walk up and down stairs on his own most of the time if we let him, Though we carry him most of the time just to be safe because he is getting weak. Letting him take the stairs on his own is a bit risky.

As I mentioned above, he eats regular dry commercial dog food, wet and dry commercial cat food, lots of dog treats, chopped meat, and peanut butter. :)

[blogslut]

59. Here's the meanest cat in the world

I can't tell you her name cause she's my password security question clue:

[Minimus]

64. Maybe she is just misunderstood...

but that is quite the evil eye she is giving. LOL!

[mcctatas]

60. adorable, almost enough to make me want a dog!

sadly, my three cats might not agree...

we call this one "special needs kitty", she was not gifted with superior intellect:


this one is "spare parts kitty" as she looks like she was assembled from leftover bits at the kitty factory (doing her Peter Lorre imitation)



and this one is "the creeper" due to her habit of slinking around and popping up out of nowhere to scare the hell out of you...

[lukasahero]

91. "Special needs kitty" is soooo cute

As they all are but her coloring is lovely.

[ChoralScholar]

61. Our two Fur babies....

Both of ours are mutts...We think Ginger is a German Shepherd/Sharpei mix and Julie a Black Lab/?terrier mix.


Ginger, will be 10 this November. She has arthritis in her lower back and is having issues with mobility right now. But she's still elfrangel's baby girl.


Julie, turned 8 in April. She is our neurotic puppy...goes ballistic at the silliest things (like :P raspberries). She's my girl though. :)


Ginger & Julie - together on the couch in younger days.

[Minimus]

65. Pretty girls! I love their names.

[ThomCat]

67. What beauties!

:loveya:

I am sorry your Ginger is having arthritis and mobility issues. We have to deal with that every day too, carrying our Jack in my lap in my wheelchair (when he lets me) or having JennaLaw carry him.

It's not easy dealing with a dog with pain and mobility issues.

Your Ginger looks bigger and heavier than our Jack, so I can't imagine you have it easy. :(

[marzipanni]

62. Sally zonked out with her 4 legs and tail together like stems in a bouquet

We have a game where I throw one of her tennis balls in an unpredictable direction from the back steps. I say ,"Yes! yes!", if she's headed in the right direction, and, "No! No!", if she's not moving toward the ball's location.
She will put the ball 1' from my feet, and if I say, "Closer!", she picks it up and drops it almost on my foot.
When she brings the ball to me if I tell her to put it in a plant saucer, or other shallow container, she learns to do that every time with just a few tries.
If I toss the ball into a big empty plasic trash can, she knocks the can over with gusto, and walks inside to retrieve the ball.
A smart, funny, and loveable girl, our Sally.

[Minimus]

66. I love that picture!

And what a smart girl she is. What breed is she? My niece has a couple of Blue Heelers and they look similar to Sally... they are also very smart.

[marzipanni]

80. Sally is a Heeler - Border Collie mix

It seems this combo often looks like a McNab Border Collie (short coated branch of the border collie breed ) with merle or speckles on the parts that would be white on a border collie. Those speckles sure do indicate heeler in the mix!

on edit- an interesting page about those speckles-ticking and roan markings- of various breeds-
http://abnormality.purpleflowers.net/genetics/ticking.htm

[ThomCat]

68. She sounds like a very smart dog who loves

games she with some rules she sink her teeth into. :)

She's a beautiful dog. I love that picture.

[marzipanni]

85. Thanks, ThomCat, You're right, she Needs to "work"

We adopted her as a 2-year-old who had already been rescued from an abusive person, then accepted by the SPCA from her rescuer due to illness.
We live in an area with sheep ranches out in the rural areas, but the SPCA people rejected ranchers who said they would have left her outside all the time, in favor of someone who would let her be in the house. She probably would have loved herding sheep so we try to give her something to do!

Your gang is adorable! Jack is such a cute old gentleman dog, and according to one way of calculating, he's 138 in human years! May I ask what he eats?

[ThomCat]

92. Jack eats anything and everything he wants.

We're trying hard to keep his weight up.

He eats commercial dry dog food. But he prefers to eat the cat's food, both dry and canned. He happily raids the cat food dishes several times per day.

At this point the cats just move over and let him. The mostly just consider him a very large cat that smells funny. :)

We also give him several types of commercial dog treats. And we give him fresh chopped meats daily, and his favorite, a large glob of peanut butter to lick off my finger once per day too. :9

[lukasahero]

74. Bailey's adorable!

Here's Bella with her favorite toy:

[guitar man]

79. Awww, that face!!

:loveya:

[lukasahero]

90. Bella is still always a little unsure

when she's given a toy. That's her "this is for me?" face.

I just saw you adopted Olive. Good for you. I'm glad you didn't hold back on offering another dog your love. She's a lucky girl. :)

[guitar man]

99. Olive is just the opposite

It's "mine mine mine" with all the toys. She's learning that as pack leader "all toys are my toys" and she gets to play with them when I, or a higher ranking pack member let's her play with them. She doesn't like it bit she's been allowed to get away with too much and I have to take her to task. She's a bright girl though, she will learn quickly. :)

[Kota]

78. Pippin, Kota & Sophie

[Tripper11]

82. Here's my best buddy Sandy!

I work overnights, so she sleeps with me during the day and in the evening. As soon as I get home she knows it's nap time. Rubs her head against my leg as I give her nice scratches, then it's off to bed!
It's a good thing.

Hiking...


Water break...


With a treat!

[lukasahero]

88. Ha! That last pic is priceless!

She's a pretty girl - love the ears.

[Rob H.]

87. You don't have to ask me twice

Here are some recent pictures of my cat, Summer. She's part Siamese, which is why her eyes are so purty. :)

Outside, looking without much luck for grass to munch on. The angle makes her look at lot chunkier than she is--she actually weighs just over 11 pounds.



Inside on my lap, batting her eyes to get me to give her treats. (It worked, btw.)



Outside, watching intently a bird that had landed a few feet away:

[marzipanni]

95. Summer is a beauty, she has snow leopard coloring

in stripes instead of spots! I just googled snow leopard images and discovered the babies have blue eyes until they're 4 months old when they start turning yellow.

[Rob H.]

96. Summer thanks you for the compliment

:)

The really odd thing is that she started off with stripes on just her legs, face, and tail, and now she's striped all over. Here she is when I brought her home 2-1/2 years ago--notice how faint her body stripes are.
