Show us your Fur Buddy!

[SJGUSMC21]

This is Skye. We adopted her as I have always adopted dogs. I use to do volunteer work for the SPCA in Fredericksburg VA, and enjoyed it immensely, though at times you have to wonder who really are the animals: dogs or humans. Anyways, Skye is about 3 years old, 75 pounds give or take, and just a damn good dog. She is a inside dog, but I think she would enjoy being an outside dog about as much. She is very well mannered, sweet, caring, very intelligent (kind of spooky at times) and has certainly house trained us! Her and my girls are BFF's and even my wife has warmed up to her. Shed's like she is self-cloning all the time, but that is what my fire-team of Roomba's are for. She is my best friend, no doubt. All I know is she mostly Shepard, and the rest don't know and don't care. She is wonderful.

Silly time...

Seriously,....where's my snack?

Typical bed time.

Lazy day....

Our dog, he was about a year old here, just turned 2 yesterday.

So on my wife's Birthday, first week of April, I had no gift purchased so I took her to go see some puppies, well she came home with her Birthday gift Heidi

Heidi on her way home with us, she was weaned 4 days prior. Coco, our 6 year old got jealous and had to get in my wife's lap too

The Breeder was actually nice enough to let us take her home before her first shots, which we did 3 days later...so she was still 5 weeks old when we got her...

After she ate



She is a handful, like any Pup, but to see my wife's face light up when she holds her is worth all the puppy accidents we are dealing with...

I envy those if you in a more rural setting with bigger dogs.

We’ve had to say goodbye to 2 poochers and planned on waiting till we were both retired to adopt another.

Then if you’ve read my cat story, we ended up with 3. (Not on purpose) Cats are far less needy which has suited our busy lifestyle of work and business travel.

When mom passed we ended up with a 4th, the offspring of one of the original 3.

We lost one female of the originals so we’re back to 3

The one male has his hands full and spends most days avoiding the girls. He’s on life # 7 or 8 with a lot of close calls. Tough little bugger who insists I come to bed so he can snuggle up against me every night. Getting better talking human

Morning birdwatching




Gracie we lost back in Sept of 22

We have a Staffy mix, Yanks, going on six years old. We rescued her at 5 months old as the owners were going to be dumped.

Chavi is a Chihuahua puppy currently four months old. A lot of people think they are mother and son.

Little guy gets put in his place as Yanka doesn't have the energy that he does.

I have no idea how many cats we have around here. I’m guessing at least 10. Most are friendly, several very pregnant ones so that number will go up.

Cats come and go around here, they are a renewable resource.

 

[bigredfish]

No doubt out away from the city.

Bro in law has about 50 acres up on a mountain in Tioga county PA. Horses and some goats. Cats everywhere. Every time we visit I get introduced to a new batch. They’re good at keeping the rodents at bay

We had a neighbor's dog show up today after the thunderstorm, her collar had their phone number, they told us she gets scared with thunder and will jump the pen. What surprised us is she jumped into our pool, so maybe she just wanted to come over for a swim, lol. Out here in the country we have had 2 or 3 show up on our property, pretty much free range out here...

I'm so twisted I though Arjun had generated different kind of FUR posting.

Here is a picture of our fur baby. She is white Labrador and is 15 years and 7 months old. She is looking through the rear screen door to see if dinner is ready yet.

So I made Brats on the grill, brought them inside, and started looking for the buns.... They were right here damnit...



I discovered where the buns went....

My wife has experienced Coffee drinking dogs, we have had several drink her coffee that she put on the coffee table. Haha, she would get up to do something, come back to an empty cup...

Thought this was a good picture:


Hard to get them to pose like this...

Picture of our K-9 Alarm System, Chihuahua model fur babies:

The white chihuahua mix at the front is Sophie. April of 2015 someone dumped her and her 6 week old puppy, Taco, the black chihuahua mix at the back. The vet guessed his birth date as well as his mom's so we say Feb.20, 2015 for him and April 3, 2012 for Sophie. DNA tests show he's chihuahua with dachshund, mom Sophie is chihuahua with corgi. Sophie loves everybody, even strangers and little children....unusual for a small dog. Rescues are generally such great dogs.

Number 2 back is Coco, all chihuahua. She was born on the 4th of July, 2009 and was payment for computer repairs!

Number 3 is Chica, also all chihuahua, born July 14, 2012. If my wife were to choose between Chica or me, I'm pretty sure who she'd choose. Chica's her baby.

Not shown is Buster, a Yorkie belonging to my stepson and born in 2014.

This photo was Nov. 2016 a couple of weeks before Christmas so all of them are 7-1/2 years older now and are still with us. In the summer they are in this sun room basking in the sun or else out in their fenced area hunting lizards. Sophie likes to snap at the carpenter bees.

As of today, Coco is 14 yrs and 11 mo., Chica is 11 yrs and 11 mo., Sophie is 12 yrs and 4 mos., Taco is 9 yrs and 4 mos.

We are on the fence about getting a dog. My brother in law keeps harassing us to buy one of his puppies. We have a 8 yr old boy, who is an only child. Think it would be good for him, but a lot of responsibility involved. Plus we both work . My son if off school for the summer though.

we also have a big fenced in backyard and chickens free roaming.
