My baby is a 3 year old adorable boxer named Guinness I love him as if he is one of my kids and it drives hubby crazy but I do not care.
Lost my other baby on Valentines day she was a beagle named Patches and was 14 years old so I understand it was her time to go and she did go naturally (was not put to sleep) and my parents were with her when she went so it does make me feel better since I couldn't be with her. I am just sad that my daughter (she is 2 months) didn't get to meet her.0 -
I love this thread
I have two of my own furbabies-Layla is a pug/shephard/beagle/heinz 57 mix, but she is the best thing EVER. I got her when I first moved out on my move, was totally not responsible enough for a dog and somehow, I still have her 3 years later.
She had parvo when I got her and started showing symptoms a day after I brought her home. Scariest thing I've ever experienced. The emergency vet said to put her down, but I said hell no. And she's a happy healthy babe now :happy:
And then I got her a best friend cause I felt bad about working and leaving her alone a lot. I adopted Beatrix the beagle from the humane society and they just adore each other. It's cute. They beat the crap out of each other, but then they cuddle together on their couch.
OH and then I moved in with my boyfriend who has two cats. Never had one before. The one (Ollie) is fatter than my beagle, so she's terrified of him. And the other one (Stella) is just your standard black cat. But they're sweet.
Sorry, I rambled. I see fur babies and I get excited!0 -
I just spent $1500 on my Dudley cat after he tore his cruciate ligament. Everyone told me to put him down due to the costs but HE'S MY BABY!! He's my DP.
I can't believe that people just throw animals away like that. I would do the same in your position, they are my kids!
Agreed! I was ready to spend every dollar I had when I found a lump on my boy's back. Whatever it took. I'm so glad you saved your baby!! =]0 -
I just got a kitten back in December, he is about 5 months old right now and he's a purebred ragdoll. I named him Zophiel and I love him very much. He is a brat sometimes, but most of the time very cuddly and sweet. I've been waiting my whole life to get a cat and he means the world to me even if its only been a couple months. Here is a pic:
I also have had a teddy bear hamster for a year and shes a real shy cutie. I can't decide on her name between pumpkin or scout :laugh:0 -
I have a a 5 year old weinie/yorkie mix and she is a pain but I love her. Her name is Sophie and she is a loud spoiled brat!
I have a 3 year old cat named Charlie, after the unicorn (candy mountain). Lol! He is my baby and I spoil the crap out of him.. Sophie likes my husband more. :noway: Then I have a 8 year old cat and his name is Jinxes. 0 -

Awh, I did the same when my puppy had parvo. They said it was too expensive to treat I shouldn't bother. What kind of veterinary advice is that?! I left that place and took her somewhere that was happy to help and made her all better :] Yay for happy endings!!0 -

I spent $1300 on my dog when she tore her cruciate ligament 4 years ago. Didn't think twice about it. She's not jumping up in the Suv of late..I have to lift her up..She still jumps up on her single bed and the couch..Suv is a little higher. But if she ends up showing signs of hip dysplasia down the road..Will have that surgery for sure if she's healthy enough..0 -

I have a 2 year old chihuahua, Zoe. My favorite cat in the whole world, well favorite pet really, got out 7 weeks ago... I finally brought home a new kitten, Bella, who is 6 weeks old and quite a distraction from a lot of bad things (and really good at tearing up my jeans!). They keep me entertained0

Mr. Ty-Ty is 7 years old a Sheppard/Rotti mix I found when he was around 3 month's old. I tried hard to see if anyone was looking for him, but sadly they weren't: ohwell: There loss because he is the light of my life. He is my walking buddy and he love's to play at the park with the other furry's. He rarely bark's instead he make's a woo woo sound when he is talking to me.
I also have 2 feather baby's ( Amazon Parrot's) one is 22 and the other is 29. We have raised them since they had no feathers and they are very loud at time's, but also extremely funny as well. They talk,sing, play peek a boo, and curse. One of them when it swing's goes weeee. And I have a fat goldfish who I am trying to teach to mouth the alphabet. So far it has the letter O down to a tee.....:laugh:0 -
We have two larger-than-life Airedale Terriers, Otis and Ruby. They're 5 yrs old and brother and sister. We rescued them through ATRA - Airedale Terrier Rescue and Adoption ... http://aire-rescue.com
We also have a cantankerous 12+ yr old black cat who is very anti-social with most people, and is part Egyptian Mau, and lets us know on a regular basis that we are in the presence of royalty and should consider ourselves honored....0 -
I just adopted a dog 2 weeks ago from the Humane Society.
I named her Kuma-chan (Kuma for short). It means Little Bear
She's 2-3 years old and a 22lb mutt that looks like a mini black lab! hahaha. When I first saw her, I thought she was a puppy.
Her previous owners had just given her up 2 weeks prior to me adopting her with reasons that stated that they didn't have time for her despite them also having three kids who are 14, 13, and 6. It is sad that they gave her up and I can only wonder at the circumstances because she is so well-behaved.
She really is THE BEST DOG! Seriously. She walks beautifully on the leash, is house trained, knows some basic commands, isn't hyper, and just loves to sit and be around with you. She doesn't chew up stuff, get into random things or excessively bark.
Well, their loss is my gain. I wouldn't trade her for anything!

We have 6 cats and a bunny.
Cats:
*Daisy - 9 years old. Was from my friend's barn cat litter. Brown tabby. Very independent. Our oldest, but play like a kitten
*Sally - also 9. Got her at about 1.5 years old from a rescue. Long haired calico. She's a loud purrer, and likes to act like the "mama" when we brought others home, so we call her the Mama Kitty.
*Georgie - 6 years old. My boy. All white. Found him in a grocery store parking lot on a rainy night in early May years ago. He was only about 3.5-4 weeks old, so I hand raised him. I think that's why he's my little shadow
*Lila - Also 6. Found her about a year after Georgie, and couldn't find her owner so ended up keeping her. She's grey with a bit of orange undertones. VERY nervous/high strung. She actually has taken prozac at times when her anxiety was especially high.
*Hedwig - Got also at about 4 weeks old. Her mom had died, and she was handraised as well. She's all black, and LOVES attention, and head butting, but hates to be picked up
*Oliver - almost 4. Orange boy. His mom was my uncle's barn cat. He knows he "the baby" and actually likes to be held on his back/curled like a baby. Or sitting on your hip like a toddler. haha. Spoiled.
*Then our bunny is Stewie. He's about 4 years old. We didn't know much about bunnies and were told he was a dwarf.....errrr, no. He's a stereotypical california rabbit haha. He's VERY well behaved, but not terribly social, if he can help it.
Except that Oliver and Stewie are BEST BUDDIES.0 -
Hi all! So nice to see that others' pets are part of their families.
We have two dogs. Milo Truman Grey Jenkins "Monkey" is 4 and Delilah Jewel "Lollipop" or "Little Bird" is 3. Can you tell we don't have kids. They will come to anything, pretty much. Milo is a maltese and shih tzu. We bought him from a breeder. Delilah is a Maltese Shih Tzu Biscon Yorkie. We got her from Craigslist. A couple's dogs mated before they got them fixed. Lucky for us, she has such a cool, funny personality.
Weight loss: I have been on here for the last month and a half or so.
Catalyst: I saw 188. something on the scale and the next number is in the 190s ahh!
I am at 177 now. I really like myfitnesspal. I helps me be accountable. Please add me if you would like. I work nights and really appreciate the community feel. Thanks.
Have a great day all!0 -
My fur baby's name is Lady, but my husband calls her " Mr. Scuffers" after "Scuppers The Sailor Dog" (Little Golden Book) She is a 45lb lab mix. I got her at 3 months old and her 2nd birthday is this Friday! Love my pupsicle!0

Aww all the cute little fluffies!
I had 3 fur babies, but we had to get rid of one because we moved to Japan and she had bad anxiety...
Here is our newest baby, Bella. Her owners had to get rid of her when moving back to the States due to airline complications so we adopted her. She's an Oki-mix (Okinawan mutt basically)
And this is my baby, Reno. I am missing him as he lives with my mom until his quarantine period is up 6 months from now

I forgot to add a picture of my kitty.
And then there are my parents dogs who are basically fur siblings of mine. I love them to pieces.
This is Ochoco. I woke up to him in my bed like this when I was staying with my parents, he was sleeping on my huge pillow right next to me. I look scary but that is because I had just woken up. This picture is probably about 4 years old and sadly his health is declining and he will probably be put to sleep sooner than later.
This is there other dog Tiki. She was stressed out by my sisters new puppy when I was visiting my folks, I was sitting at the kitchen table when she demanded to be IN my lap. She is not a small lap dog when sitting on a kitchen chair.

We have four dog kids who are spoiled rotten: Athena, Milo, Raleigh, and Skylar. Athena is a yellow Lab who will be four years old in May. Athena's owner was going to take her to the dog pound because she was too unruly. I got Milo from the Humane Society. He is a dachsund, Old English sheep dog, Lahsa Apso, and terrier mix. Milo is around a year old. Raleigh was 8 weeks old when we brought her into our household. She just turned four. For awhile, she had issues with dominance and aggression. A couple of years ago, she bit me very hard and I almost took her to the vet to have her put down. I decided to give her another chance since I had raised her. We had her put on anti-anxiety pills. We found out that her thyroid was under-active. Her weight had ballooned up to 120 pounds. Once her meds kicked in, she lost weight, became very calm, and active. Occasionally, she will growl at the other dogs, but it's so they will leave her alone. Our youngest dog is Skylar. He will be fourteen weeks old this Friday. He is half Chihuahua, a quarter Schnauzer, and a quarter pomeranian. He thinks he rules the roost. Athena thinks that he is her baby.0

Bella looks so much like my Sam (even wears the same red heart rabies tag) I had to look twice.0 -
Awww! Love all the animals! I have a Pomeranian named Gizmo and a Great Dane/Springer Spaniel mix puppy named Karlie! I foster and bottle feed abandoned and underage kittens for a local rescue, but can't keep them. I have such a soft spot for animals. 0

I have 3 furr babies!!
Rudy is my solid white standard poodle that thinks he's a lap dog. We adopted him after we found out we couldn't have children, and he's been my heart since.
Rosie and Raven are both solid black shih tzu. They are very small (5 and 7 pounds), but have the biggest personalities!!0
