Show Us Your Fur or Feathered Kids!

Snapshot 7 (4-29-2017 6-55 PM).jpg
This is "Page" on her perch about to dive off. I got her as a stray eight years ago at the shelter with part of her ear chewed off. She wouldn't eat anything but dry food and was always rather emaciated till last summer. She had been strictly a house cat but I felt I had to try improving her life. I let her out, and thankfully, she stayed close to the house. Within a month she began eating from our plates...now, she prefers fish and braunschweiger. She gained weight and her fur just shines...I'm so pleased.
 

I love seeing all these photos of our wonderful pets, thanks to all who posted here. :sentimental: Butterfly, do you have a photo of your Bonnie, don't think I ever got to see her?
 
I've already posted Trav's "pretty pics" in my album.. so here he is showing off his BIG mouth.

He's a 9+ year old Giant Schnauzer and he loves his tennis balls, doesn't play tug, or with any other chew toys.. just his 50+ tennis balls. Every time I mow the field, I accidently hit one hiding in the weeds/grass and send it shooting across the yard.

(His nose always reminds me of a gorilla nose, or eyes looking at me.)

Janice, I can't see any picture in your post.

Off topic: I'm guilty of calling my furbabies all kinds of kooky and cute names during the day like in this comic. :eek:

This is Dot, one of my rats. Over the weekend, I had to make the sad decision to let her travel to the Rainbow Bridge, to be with her fur-brothers and sisters who had passed before her. She was a year and a half old, and had a mammary tumor, which is not uncommon in female rats. She leaves a sister, Dash, who misses her very much.

Marie, so sorry to hear you lost your little Dot, my sympathy. I hope Dash doesn't get too depressed without her. :(

Janice, I see the photo now, beautiful cat...what breed?

Thanks. Dash pretty much spent the first afternoon buried under her fleece, not coming out. Now she seems better. I have spent a lot of time sitting by her cage. She is eating and drinking, and seeming OK now. I think she is enjoying the extra attention.

She's Maine Coon- not purebred, but has all the characteristics :)
and she also blends in with nearly any background. lol

She's a beautiful color, I knew by that long luxurious coat she must be related somehow to the Maine Coon. This is one I got to pet at a cat show one time, love these cats.

I hope she does okay alone, do you plan to get a new friend for her? You're a good mom to give her some extra TLC now when she needs it most.....hugs.
 
Yorkshire Terrier, just acquired him today. He's 90 days old born on Xmas eve '17 he was from a 1st time mother with 3 other litter mates 2 females, 2 males. His brother & one sister looks just like him the other female is white & black with the brownish face. All of them are quite dapper. Went to the dollar store spent $35 on accessories (bed, blanket, pads, dish, play toy, leash & collar). Need to get his shots when i return to Oregon at the end of the month. He's about 5 inches tall maybe 10-12 inches long. His mother & father are not much bigger. I wanted something I could handle too old to try & control a larger one.

Congratulations on your new pup Roadwarrior, very cute! I've met a lot of Yorkies at the park and they are very sweet dogs.

Cute! :) But aren't Yorkies known to be 'yappy'?

Could be for all I know, We had a 'chirweaner' he barked at everything, my neighbor has a female Yorkie, never hear her, she's well behaved don't need a lease. The neighbor told me they bond with their masters real well. I decided after watching another neighbor who bought the male litter mate walk him on a lease, it's quite a humorous sight. (Incidently he's from Ohio too). They don't shed (need grooming). We survived the first night together, took him outside as soon as I got dressed, he did his thing then wanted back in. The seller told me they are about 90% trained, I missed the warning last night so had to do a little cleanup. Other than that no whining he stayed in his bed the entire night, no problems. We named him Maximus, Max for short, after 'Gladiator'.

As for the yapping, did I mention that I'm hard of hearing. Reading about them, Yes it says they are yappy, but make good pets & watch dogs for seniors, they don't do well in a home with small children. I walk for exercise & that's one of the main things that Yorkies need - i.e. long walks, attention & praise.
