I have an 18 pound cat named Zoey...he actually isn't really fat, just a big big cat. I call him my little mountain lion. He will be 7 years old this summer and he is my little pumpkin (if someone can tell me how to post pics I would post one)

My boyfriend and I want to get a dog when we get a house, probably either a black or yellow Lab. This will probably never happen due to how much they cost, but I was watching It's Me or The Dog the other day and I fell in love with Pomeranians. I'm really not a fan of little yippy dogs but their so silly looking their cute. If I ever got one I'd name is Peanutbutter.

    To post a pic, upload it to a photo site like photobucket. Then take the code they give you & post it between [IMG][/IMG] (but change IMG to img).

    I have a fatty cat named Lucy & 2 mutts named Gina & Floyd. They keep my life...messy. :wink:

    I have a little long hair chihuahau --- love him, hes my baby but he is not always nice to strangers or dogs.
    I also have a 1 1/2 yr old yellow lab. She is a really great dog, very lovable and super smart. But she has become very expensive as she has eaten so many things we have lost count, this includes furniture and just about everything she can get her teeth on. You could pretty much guess we have to baby proof to the extreme. We also have to put her in a kennel when we leave the house so she doesnt get any ideas to eat the house. Im told labs are puppies this way for the first few years and then they grow up a little. Given all of this... I wouldnt give her up for nothing. She is such a love !

    I have 2 dogs. One pound puppy (Casey Jones) part lab with pit bull (we think) and a shih tsz (Kelsey Lynne). Two opposite, but love each other. Casey is 11 and Kelsey is 10. They put much joy into our lives. If we're down they always pick us up! Don't be afraid to find a pound puppy that needs rescuing. They make teriffic pets!

    We have Popcorn. :love: She is a terrier mix. that is her peaking out from under my hubbys blanket. She got the name popcorn because when we got her she is brown and white and had a black streak down her back, reminding my hubby of a burnt peice of popcorn. She sleeps in the bed under the covers with us.

    I have 2 beautiful cats :bigsmile: I too have a big cat... he is a little fat but he's also just big. His head is like 2X the size of my other cat's head :laugh: . Anyways my big sweetheat is all white and named Ciao, he weighs 16 lbs, down from 17.. he's on a diet :laugh:

    the little one is grey and her name is Libi. She's just under 10 lbs and full grown. She's SO bad, lol seriously such a little misbehaver. They are total opposite.

    My baby is Jada, our 6 yr old yellow lab-on my ticker...she has been the most amazing pet I have ever owned. We also have 2 cats. Ozzy, is black and white, and Kipur is my cat, a beige tabby, absolute trouble like a 2 yr old but sooo funny. The 2 cats are so different but soo good together. All my animals actually have always gotten along. The cats will answer us when we talk to them. Ozzy, though, is the silent Alpha...Man I love my pets.:heart:

    It's not the dog, but the mental owners and breeders that have given them a bad rep....

    I have a dane/black lab mix (Parker) and we went through 5 remotes for the TV in about that many months. He is 7 now and he did grow out of it. He had a thing about socks. He even stole one right off my foot once. We just started giving him thing to chew on and he stopped chewing on things he wasn't supposed to but he was almost 3 then. I am told labs take a little longer than other dogs to stop chewing. He also LOVES ripping up old towels. He puts his paw on the towel and rips and rips and rips until he has a bunch of strips....it is weird cuz they are all about the same size. I also have a 15 year old Jack Russell (Gracie). She thinks she is a big dog and is the boss of Parker. I also have 5 cats ranging from 2 years to 13 years and 5 pounds to 20 pounds. My son has two turtles.

    kind of, ya. She REALLY looked siamese when we got her (at 8wks old) very skinny, triangle face, big, sharp ears and big eyes. Her features have softened a bit though. Why, does she sound just like yours? :laugh:

    I have 2 dogs (St.Bernard mix and schnauzer mix); 3 cats; a guinea pig, a thoroughbred and a pony. Oh, and fish. Definitely as someone said--it makes your life messy, but they are all so much fun!

    My clan includes:

    Cats:
    Cole-12
    Peepers-11
    Stormy- 9
    Mr. Handsome-5

    Dogs:
    Baby Girl, Boston Terrier mix-6
    Ralphie, collie mix-7
    Ben-recent addition, Boxer-Bull mix- 6months.

    Whew!

    BabyGirl is my treadmill partner. If we are not on it together she is standing there waiting for me to get off so she can have her turn. She loves it!

    Actually, she's been my partner for all my adventures. We've hiked Pikes Peak together, attempted part of the Appalachian Trail. A few trails here in our state, canoeing, splunking, rollerblading, jogging, etc. She is quite a gal!

    Yeah we plan on getting our lab from a shelter. We looked around at a pet store but I didn't like the idea of custom ordering a pet, and paying more money than our mortgage will be. My cat is from a shelter so I love the feeling of knowing I gave a good home to an animal who otherwise may not have had one. I doubt many Pomerianians end up in a shelter, and there is no way I am paying the price for one so I kind of doubt I'll ever get one.

    I have a lab/hound mix. He's awesome! He has the temperament of a lab, but the bark of the hound. He's a pound puppy and is just a big 70 pound ball of love. Unless you're threatening his momma that is :)

    You can probably find a Pomeranian rescue group somewhere in your area if you really want one. But little dogs tend to be little brats LOL, but mainly because people spoil them.

    I have 4 cats whose pictures I randomly use here. Jasmine was adopted before she was to become a barn cat; she's our black cat. Cassie was adopted from an elderly lady that was going to have to put her in an animal shelter because she was dying and couldn't take care of her. She is part persian but without the really smooshed in nose and she looks a lot like Ritz but doesn't weigh as much. She follows me around like a little puppy. I can't get out of her site...and if I sit down she wants on my lap, which I really don't mind. Ritz and Triscuit were actually rescued from a shelter, they are brother and sister. Ritz is around 20 to 21 pounds, he's a Maine Coon mix. Triscuit is the only short-haired cat I have and she is the most timid of all of them.

    I have a 2.5 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Donald Anthony) who is 40 lbs!!! Quite a lot for those little legs! He is my best friend, so for his 2nd birthday we got:

    a 5 month old rescue puppy (Zoe Anna). . . part lab, border collie, corgi? who knows.

    And they are so in love. Best friends for life after only a month and a half of knowing each other.

    My cats are the exact same! I have Rain (6 yrs old), a Main Coon and he is HUGE seriously like 20+ pounds! He has such huge features, paws, everything. He is so cute though! I love him to pieces! I also have Tiva (7 yrs old) the littlest cat ever! She only weighs less than 5 pounds. Crazy small I know! But she is just a little princess.

    My husband has a black lab named Raya (8 yrs old).

    I LOVE MY FURBABIES!

    :heart: Charlie & Angel (the two in my ticker) and brother and sister and will turn 5 this Friday :heart:
    I dont call them by their names - Charlie is Chewy and Angel is Chichi. No idea where those came from. :heart: they came from an awful shelter and were practically dead when i got them at 8 weeks old. :cry:

    :heart: Vienna is another cat who will be 4 years old May 13th. I call her Missy Miss. She was a foster of mine who was adopted out. She didnt like her adopted dad at all. She even pooped on him while he was sleeping. I too her back and she has been 100% happy at my house. :heart:

    :heart: Big is my 4th cat. He was up for adoption with my cat group. He was shy and only would respond to me. I just felt like something was wrong with him. Sure enough, he yawned and his entire gums were bright red :cry: He has a disease called Stomatitis which basically means his gums are rejecting his teeth and he will eventually need all of them pulled. :cry: So, i agreed to take him home because he was sort of unadoptable. Got his teeth cleaned and his disease is currently under control. He will be 3 in June. I call him Biggle or Mijo. :heart:

    :heart: Then there is the Poochie Pie ~ Penne. She is a Shiztu that I found running down the road at 2am last May. I pulled over and said, come here you little noodle (see why I named her Penne?)! I walked around for 1.5 hours trying to locate someone who may be looking for her. No Luck. Took her home and gave her a bath the next day. She was covered in mats and tics. She wasnt fixed and she was in heat. I took her to the vet Monday AM and got all her medical done. I called vets and local shelters but no one reported her missing. I could have adopted her out thru my group, but I decided to keep her. She is so much fun (besides my carpet and furniture being ruined :grumble: ) and Big really loves her - they crack me up! She will be 2 in July. :heart:

    NO MORE FOR ME! :noway:

    :drinker: GOOD FOR YOU! I am so big on adopting from a shelter. Keep in mind there are THOUSANDS of breed-specific rescues across the country. You can find any kind of dog you want! GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FOR YOU! :heart:
