Dear furry child,
I look forward to seeing when I wake up. You give me the incentive to get up at the crack of dawn and walk in the morning before work which pushes me closer to my goal of loosing weight!
Keep up the good work!

Sincerely

Owner that is to lazy to get out of bed on her own

    He's a pug. 30% of the time he sounds like a slipping fan belt, the other 70% of the time he sounds like a garbage disposal. Also, he sheds his own weight in fur every 24 hours.

    Reading this made me laugh at my desk..... I had a boston terrier that sounded like that!

    My furry kids (I have three) show me the greatest happy-dance when I enter a room that brings a smile to my face every time. There is nothing better than coming home to three smiling faces that have been waiting for you all day. I :heart: my fur-babies.

    My furry child is 10 weeks old and still pees and poops on my carpet. I don't have anything nice to say about him right now! :noway:

    10 weeks is still very young and I wouldn't expect much from him at this point. Are you crate training?

    Dear furry child. We know your new to the family and that your big brother is trying to show you the ropes and all, but I really need to pick a bone with you. We get up every morning by 6:30 am and the first thing we do is to feed the two of you. We really don't need your help waking us in the morning, meowing, and pawing at us. Screaming at us, will only get you banned from the bed. We will feed you. We promise.
    Other than that, you are super sweet and your brother is so much happier with you here. Hope you like living with us too. :)

    We crate train plus I tend to keep him on a leash with me so that I can always watch him. The signs are definetely there but I'm afraid if he is not on a leash with me then I will get distracted and lose sight of him! I know not to expect much - it's just so hard sometimes - we'll get there!

    Oh my crap that puppy is too adorable.
  • That is the cutest chocolate lab I have ever seen. Give him time, and he will get better. We have a chocolate lab name Buddy, and he is the greatest. Just make sure there are plenty of toys and chewies around for him to use, if you don't you will start losing socks, books and anything else they can grab onto to chew into tiny little pieces. Good luck!

    This cracked me up!

    Pip: thank you for waking me up every hour on the hour asking to be lifted on to the bed, just so you can sap my warmth before climbing down again. And thank you for standing on my windpipe at 4am today to demand Belly-Belly.

    Kaiser: thank you for being the snuggliest dog that doesn't move all night but makes a fine hot water bottle. You think you could stop biting MrWW's dad though?

    Jacqui: ma BabyGurl, you are perfect in every way. Though I'd appreciate it if we could walk occasionally without you rolling in poo or a corpse.

    :love:
  • My Furry Kids are 6 mos old Pepper is an Aussie that is like the dog on the movie Click and has one heck of a personality. so much so that a few of our friends are trying to get Aussies of their own. Sookie is a Shih Tzu Yorkie pound puppy we call Demon Dog because she is 6 pounds of spitfire that beats up Pepper!!! I don't have any recent pics on this pc but will post pics later have a happy friday all!

    Agreed- too cute!!!

    I love my furry heads, too (as well as my non-furries: fish, turtles, and lizard). My life would be incomplete without my menagerie, and I found a husband who can put up with me and encourages the animal love. I'm so lucky!

    We have 3 cats that constantly antagonize one another, but it's a power circle: the loud one picks on the mean one, the mean one pushes around the skittish one, and the skittish one controls the loud one. It works well- and no one is Alpha. (not even me or hub.)

    Iso: Thank you for being the cute 'dog-trainer's sidekick' I've always wanted. <3 You're my walk buddy, my co-worker, and my furry child. Your dad and I love you very much. :)

    My furry children love me no matter what, and are always excited about life. My 11 month old husky-poodle mix is my jogging partner and she keeps me going when I get lazy. My wheaten terrier is my bodyguard and is always listening when I need to talk. :heart:
  • Have you tried hanging a bell on the door so he can ring it when he needs to go out? We have a black lab puppy that picked that up very quickly and no more accidents in the house! Also, we took her out almost every hour when she was young and after she ate, played or woke from a nap. In less than a week, we had a system and she picked right up on it. Good luck!!:smile:

    We have 3 dogs and a cat. We have 2 chihuahuas. Maisy - my snuggly sweet chihuahua girl who does her ballerina dance whenever someone is in the kitchen and greets me every evening by climbing on my chest and laying her throat over my face. Trixie- my year and some change chihuahua girl that is always the life of the party. She always wants to play - with anyone- the cat, us, the other dogs, the laser pointer...... She is always going and will eat anything. She brings in acorns, sticks, leaves. We have to watch her to make sure she doesnt eat the leather shoelaces out of shoes....... Its MY baby girl! and finally, Sailor - The worlds smelliest shih tzu....... I love him, but he smells HORRID even after baths. He is not very smart. We think that he may have to remind himself to breathe. Every time he sneezes, he hits his head on the floor. He is sweet, smelly and stupid..... but he is ours.
    Alley is the big fluffy man cat. Everyone calls Alley a girl. He LOVES when I brush him.... as long as it is on his terms. Nobody else can brush him, but because he is so fluffy, I have to brush him almost daily to keep the house from being covered in Alley fur. I think I could harvest it and make a new alley once a week. He is a loud Meower and when someone walks down the hallway, he walks with you meowing all the way.

    Our baby furry child is 11 months and if we don't let her out on time she will still go wherever she feels like it. Our other dog was trained 2 weeks after we got him, this one's a challenge. Each puppy is different, they just need love. Give it time, enforce the rules firmly, and make sure they get lots and lots of love when they do behave.

    I have two. Bo and Daisy Duke. Bo is a Rottie/German Shepherd mix (14 months). He is the sweetest dog ever. Every morning as soon as he sees that I am awake he will crawl up next to me and lay his head on my shoulder. He is a Momma's boy, and is afraid of everything. Hubby and I "speak" for them and his catch-phrase is "Huh? What?.. I'm Scared!" LOL

    Daisy is a blue tick beagle (10 months). She is also very sweet- a Daddy's Girl (he bought her a custom fitted Christmas dress for our Christmas picture, but he doesn't spoil her LOL). She is fearless and top dog in the house even if she is only a third of Bo's size. She is a holy terror. If something can be chewed, she has chewed it. Her list of "accomplishments" includes (but is not limited to lol):

    14 pairs of shoes
    3 sets of insoles
    1 Laptop Power Cord
    2 Cell phones
    1 METAL cellphone case
    1 Gazziliion pairs of socks
    47 pairs of boxers/underwear
    3 Walls (yep, WALLS)
    1 Bedroom Door
    1 Carpet
    1 Baby Gate
    2 Pairs of Headphones
    3 Pairs of Earbuds
    1 Pair of boxing gloves
    2 pairs of workout pants
    2 t-shirts
    2 issues of Cooking Light
    12+ Potholders
    24+ Tupperware Containers
    5 Recipes (at least)
    4 Plastic Bowls
    3 Plastic Cups
    2 Correlle Plates (she just broke them, I think lol)
    And a Partridge in a Pear Tree... Well, if we had a partridge in a pear tree she would probably eat it!

    She has also gotten into chocolate at least 3 times (including a very expensive emergency vet trip when she ate a box of raisinets). And LOVES candy canes and lollypops. It's actually kinda adorable to see her come running into the room after she has found daddy's stash with a lollypop sticking out of her mouth. "Look what I found Mommy! It's soooo tasty!" But, even with all she has destroyed, I love her. :-)

    Our furry child is a siberian husky, he's beautiful, smart, and SPOILED! He absolutely adores my husband and will go to the door about 5 min before he gets home. He was house trained very early, and he "talks" to us. It's so funny, he really tries to make sounds like we do!

    My furry children keep me going! The 2 dogs lover their walks in the morning and the purring of the 2 cats helps me sleep at night! They aren't the best behaved critters but they don't smart mouth or back talk, they always greet me happily when I get home and they never complain about my cooking! More than I can say for my 2 boys!

    We have a one year old Puerto Rican terrier mix adopted from the local shelter. She's 24lb of awesomeness. She knows how to dance, paw, high-5, and all the normal commands. She's incredibly lovable and so well behaved compared to other dogs we've had. She hasn't had an accident in the house in over 8 months. She sleeps under the covers at my feet, when she's allowed, otherwise she sleeps next to my bed, or with my daughter. When she's outside, she poos in the same place all the time, so we don't have to walk an entire acre on poo patrol. yeah, you needed to know that. She plays fetch like it's nobody's business. My only complaint is that she enjoys crayons and pencils so much that she'll get up on the table if the kids leave a chair pushed out only a couple inches and steal them and leave incriminating evidence all over her bed...Oh, and she 'likes' the chickens, so we can't allow both animals out on the yard at the same time...

    Dear Daisy,
    Thanks for being my best buddy and my ONLY reliable walking pal. Thanks for only occasionally pooping in the playroom and being the best dog ever. Thanks for snuggling up and watching silly biggest loser with me. If I had had you first, I would be a childless woman. Don't tell the kids!
    Love, Mommy.
