Let's see your pets!

Kalamazoo, MI

We recently lost our beloved St. Bernard. Because we missed her so much and the house was so empty without her, we got a Newfoundland puppy a few days ago. So we're in heaven!

Believe me we know what you are talking about! We had a dog for 14 years and she passed. We missed having a dog so much we adopted him. Max from the SPCA! We love him. Your puppy is so cute! Wow he will really be a large dog. Do you like to walk alot or do you live on a lake. Those dogs like the water don't they? Have fun with him! I haven't had a pupyy since I was in Juior High school. Thats been a few years... Thanks for the thread. Ronna

This is our baby Otis Spunkmeyer, but we call him Odie. As you can see, our grandaughters think he is a doll! He's a porky. Part Pomeranian and part Yorkie.

This is my other fur baby Buster. He doesn't know he's not a kitten anymore and still loves to sleep wrapped around my neck.

Congratulations on your new adoptees. We adopted Buster from the pound. He was so sick the day after I got him that my free kitten ended up costing us bookoo bucks for an emergency Sunday trip to the animal hospital. It was love at first sight though, so hubby shelled out and Buster has been a joy ever since.

I'm so sorry about the loss of your beloved pet. Congrats on the new addition to the family.

We all have beautiful pets don't we? I also have two cats will try to get pictures! Ronna

Plainwell, MI(Zone 5b)

Okay here is Oreo. She is about 9 years old? Not really sure I can not remember. She was born in the back of the Kmart I used to work at! So I brouhgt her home. All the kittens were rescued from there. We also got the mama fixed and she lives in the country now! She is kinda of a wierd cat. Does not like stranger she hides the whole time they are here. But she loves me and like to be petted only in our bedroom! Very loyal.

This is the old boy of the house he is now almost 16. We got him from some school mates of one of the daughters when we moved in this house. He used to weigh 18 lbs. Now only around 9 lbs. We changed his food and wow did he lose the weight. Kinda wierd to see him so thin. But he has a better quality of life. Lazy now cause he is so old. But we have shelled out the buck for all of our pets, past and present. But you have to be a responsible pet owner right? Enjoy them! Ronna

We have a side lot that's fenced in. We visit my uncle in the UP sometimes so she'll swim there. I looked at UTube videos and they'll play in plastic wading pools or sprinklers. We'd adopted our Saint when she was three and she'd been abused somewhat so was a bit on the high maintenance side. The Irish Setter I had before was seven when I got her. She was raised by my sister and was a really good dog and a love, of course. Starting out with a puppy we figure we can teach her. She's napping after her busy day beginning: outside to do her business, breakfast, outside to do her business and play. Inside play, which requires a watchful eye so she chews on her toys instead of other objects. DH is sleeping in as she keeps him up late at night. What a blast to watch her play! She had me in tears laughing yesterday.

Love seeing all of your "babies!"

Loon,

My DH had a B before we were married. Familiar with the Bichon Buzz? His name was Fluffy, but DH often called him "Monsier." My sister had one named Casper. Lovely dogs.

We walk Baby every day. Today we took her on our errands today so she could get around and be socialized. She took a VERY long nap when we got home.

Saturday we're taking her to a park in Grand Rapids for my niece's son's 1st birthday party. The neighbor kids are already visiting her--she's a hit everywhere we go!

Do I have to live in Michigan to post here? Hopefully not! Muscovy ducks are protected here in Lee County, FL. They make a mess pooping on everyone's driveway. Most people think they're ugly; I find them cute in spite of having to hose off my driveway four times a day!

This one is one of "triplets" as there are three that look the same; he's my favorite! As they get older, they get growths similar to warts on their faces and beaks.

Awe Kristi sooo cute...he/she's gonna be a biggin ^_^

Kristi, that is Bichon Blitz and yes I'm familiar with it. Bichons are a very energetic and sweet breed. I'm partial to them because they don't shed and have a good temprement.

Brenda, LOVED the picture of you, and your two cuties!! You're as cute as I thought you'd be. ^_^ Birdie

I grew up with Mallard ducks in our yard. They weren't really pets as they are wild, but they nested in the yard and the ducklings grew up with us every summer. I love almost all animals. I even feed the squirrels and chipmunks. At first my hubby thought I was a bit crazy but the pleasure my grandchildren and I get watching them is wonderful. The grandkids think that even the hummingbirds are their pets. Everybody gets a name evn if it's just "flit" or "chippy"
They learn a lot about God and creation and are learning to see How kind God is to give us so many pretty and interesting things to enjoy. They also see His sense of Humor.

AuGres, MI(Zone 5b)

Thanks Birdie! I don't think anyone has called me "cute" in years. You made my day. ha ha ha

I wish a couple of ducks would call my pond home. It sure needs someone to eat the weeds in it. We get mating mallards in the spring but they leave for some reason.

HI everyone.....Meet Brady....Brady is just a little over a year old........we think......Brady is a rescue dog...He and his brother were dumped down a dirt country road in Batesville Indiana. They took refuge on a farmers porch, and he thought they were just wandering away from home and would go back after a day or two. He fed them and took care of them for about a week and then called a rescue organization called PAAIN.

PAAIN stands for PEOPLE ASSISTING ANIMALS IN NEED. They have a wonderful website, check it out.

www.paain.org/

My daughter is the foundress of this organization and knew her dad and I loved German Shepherd dogs. We were looking for a companion for our older German Shepherd, Cyndee. She called us, and drove down that weekend to pick one of the two pups out. It was the hardest decision I have ever made. I really wanted to take them both and felt very guilty of separating the two after what they had been thru. Non the less....we made the decision....and we are so pleased with Brady. He is them most gentle German Shepherd we have ever owned....and we have always had them, as we favor the breed.

The first picture I will post is of Brady and his brother whose name is now Gus and has been adopted by a wonderful family who own a farm. I will post a second picture of what Brady looks like today...
