Default O/T lets see your pets

Lets see some pets.
First pic is Bubba we got him from the same rescue we got our last 2 dogs about 5 yrs ago.

Second pic is Mikey a African Senegal. I got him as a baby in 1994.

Third pic is Kiki a Orange Wing Amazon. I got Kiki 21 years ago when a friend had to take a very long rent paid vacation. He had the bird for 19 years before I got it. He was told Kiki was a old wild cough bird 40 years ago when he got it.

If you got pets post some pictures.

Default Gigi, on her 3rd chance....

Here is Gigi, my problem child. A rescue I don't usually work with tagged her (that is how you hold them before you pick them up) here at the Garland, Tx. shelter and I picked her up. After 3 months and finally getting her to a behaviorist for some temperment issues, he gave her back and said he couldn't help her after only a week.
The rescue told me there was nothing they could do and for me to bring her back to the Garland shelter. She would be labeled dangerous (which she can be to other doggies as of now). She hasn't been aggressive to a person, which I am aware of. She wasn't even aggressive to the trainer except for one time when he said she had a right to be. I didn't really care for his methods of training but at least he is trying to help the cause.
Bringing her back would mean euthanizing her and I already had her 3 mos. So I adopted her. That was 3 months ago. She will take some time but will be fine. (fingers crossed). She is very loving towards me, of course. I don't feel she would be good with my other doggies so she is in her own run...and I walk her for a long walk (a mile or more) every day. The other doggies have a large yard. *She has gained approximately 10lbs from when this pic was taken. She probably weighs close to 50 lbs now. This is a poor picture.

Our poodle Giselle. I didn't choose the name or the dog, but she's cool. When agitated she turns into this.





Here is my cat, Mao:



Unfortunately, he had to be put down after an accident in February. I miss him every day.

Finally a thread that makes me smile with joy instead of astonishment and disbelief.

Thanks Bob. She is a great doggie but has been abused. I don't think you can train an abused dog in a week as the behaviourist gave up on her, imo.

Here is Lola as I type this message, sleeping behind me. She was a stray on a street in East Texas, around 8 yrs ago. She jumped in my arms and it was all over. She sleeps on my chest every night. We had a DNA test done on her and she is mostly whippet. She looks comfortable although is snoring kind of loudly right now.

Default World’s Biggest Baby

Gunner is 14 now, a rescue through English Springer Rescue of America and he has been with us just over four years. Since 2010, my wife Loretta and I have adopted five senior Springers through ESRA, hoping to make the rest of their lives the best of their lives. This guy and I bonded in the five hour trip from the foster family that cared for and nursed him back to health. I’ve really missed him the five weeks since I moved to Cheyenne but my wife, Gunner and our newest rescue Lady should be joining me in three weeks. I can hardly wait to have the family back together.

Here are my dudes- Thor (top) and Zeus; Zeus is still a new addition, so he hasn’t met Thor yet (both are Bengals- Thor is an F2; Zeus an F5). Both are basically dogs who poop in a box

Luna, a schnauzer mixed breed 5 years old. We got her shortly after we got married when she was 6 years old.

In December, she stopped using her back legs so she had to have back surgery for IVDD. It seemed as if she was making a major comeback. In March she stopped using her back legs again, so she had back surgery again.


But she’s happy and walking around. She’s living her best life and that’s all that matters.

My bull terrier Chuco is quite the character. He keeps me sane and his antics fill my house with laughter.

Default Cats

We have a gray cat-Smokey who my wife "rescued". She was a wild cat running around our apartments. My wife picked her up one day to save her from a dog. She followed us home. We fed her some tuna and she kept coming back. We finally adopted her. The second cat is a kitten-Ginger Snap. My stepdaughter found her in the bushes by a 711. We live in Vegas and my stepdaughter lives in Southern California. She kept sending s pictures asking if we wanted her. We were going to Cali for a wedding so we ended up taking her home with us in the car. She slept most of the time in the car on the way back. She was malnourished and has a piece of her ear missing. She is now eating well and running all over the house. Our other cat growls and hisses at her, but the kitten growls back. I'm having trouble loading pictures.

Winnie (as in "The Pooh"), a boy.......


Wilbur, also a boy......


We lost our 15 year old mini schnauzer, Daisy, in February of last year. In June, my wife decided she wanted a dog. We looked around and a coworker had a friend with a pair of Morkie brothers - half Yorkie, half Malteese. We went to look at them on my wife's insistence (I hadn't planned on getting another dog so quickly) and we wound up with both of them (on my insistence).

They torture us unmercifully with loud barking to announce they've woken up at 0530 EVERY day which, during the week, isn't that big of a deal. On the weekend, I realize they are giant buttholes. But, we love them and the kids adore them.

A little over a year old and 10/13 lbs of pure terror.

Here are my monsters. Ok so the black cat is the only monster of the bunch. She adopted us about 7 or 8 years ago. Probably the smallest cat we have ever had she just showed up one summer and invited herself in. Her name is Madeline, The other two are Casey(orange and white) and Thumper(gray). My brother brought them up from Florida 4 years ago. They are brothers, Casey was the only one in the litter with a tail. And the calico is Betty I had her for 18 years, we had to put her down in May after she stopped eating and drinking. I still miss seeing her everyday.
