I agree! I had a pure Irish Setter once and although a sweet dog, dumb as a log. Every dog I've had after that one, has been a mixed breed and a rescue and I've never regretted it.

My cats couldn't quite grasp the concept of bunk beds! Tigger did okay on the bottom bunk, but Eloise had a bit of a problem!

The horses being horses.
My horse is on the right and my daughter's horse on the left. Her horse was rescue and we were still trying to put some pounds on him.
He's feeling good in this one! He may be big, but he can move when he wants to.

TICA...The last picture of your horse looks like he might have some Cydesdale in him. He has the muscular look of one. Am I right? Beautiful horse.

Thanks Pappy, I think he is pretty special. He is Belgian/QH cross. Figured I needed something big enough to haul my big butt around. I'd like to have him trained to pull a wagon some day - it is on my "to do list".

Love the pictures, Seabreeze,
At one time we had two miniature Schnauzers. Tammy and Missy. Got some pictures somewhere. Tammy was a sweetheart all the way and Missy, was dumber than a box of rocks.
Missy and I had a love, hate relationship. She killed a rabbit in the back yard, brought it in through her doggy door and presented it to us in the living room. Needless to say, wifey was not pleased.

I have a budgie called Billy, he suits me fine as a pet, I don't have to think of walkies in the winter time.
He is semi tame, he is okay until I put my hand inside his cage, no matter how hard I have tried he just will not talk but he does plenty of chirping and whistling.
Years ago I had a myna bird and I tried to teach him to talk, one day he said his name and promptly fell off his perch and died.................whether it was shock or not I don't know.

Perhaps that's why Billy won't talk...

Love the pet stories, Pappy and Bee...I have had schnauzers for 27 years and they are the breed for me. Pappy, I think Missy was just trying to give you a gift and show you she loved you. Bee, that's a sad, but humorous story about your bird. Pam, I don't think you should press Billy to talk, or at least not to say his name...LOL
Don't know where to put this but spotted this on Facebook.... I'm glad they got arrested!!!

What sick people!
I'm glad they got arrested too!! What happened to just taking an unwanted pet to the humane society or pound??? I'd like to see the same thing happen to them, see how they survive in those conditions.

Cat story:
Many years ago we had a holiday house near a beach and we'd go fishing and do the 'beach' things. One visit we found an elderly black cat, curled up on top of the front door steps. We shoo'd him off but he hung around the yard. My Uncle went out fishing and came back with some, and that cat just wouldn't leave him alone. So of course, he scored a feed of fresh fish.
One day he strolled into the house with my Uncle and proceeded to rub lovingly around the door jambs and furniture. Inspected every room, and then strolled out again and back to his apparently usual residence under the tank stand.
This went on for several years. Whenever any of us would arrive he'd be there. He had other sources of food but he seemed to know when we'd be back. A neighbour said she thought he'd belonged to an old fisherman who had died years before and had simply stayed in the area. He 'panhandled' around a few of the neighbours but never stayed with any. He belonged to no one.
All he asked of life was the opportunity for a nostalgia trip into a house occasionally and a free feed of fish.
He wasn't overly affectionate but would allow a little petting when it suited him. But he was never a problem and seemed to appreciate us allowing his little 'furniture' tours when he wanted. He was a polite and welcome free spirit, and enhanced our times there.
We missed him when the time came that he wasn't on the step. I hope he met a gentle end to a free and gentle life.

These shirts actually work. A friend has one for her storm anxious poodle, and she swears by it. She gave me one recently for my Ohno gangsta, who is afraid of storms or anything that goes boom. I put it on him the other day when we had rumbles from the storm we didn't get. He was actually much better, not shaking and hiding in the bathroom at least.
