Lets see your pets it's been way too long since one of these threads

[jingram058]

Our 5 cats. All rescues. Stormy and Trixie are from the animal shelter. Lightning we brought in from outside. Merry and Pippin (after Meriadock Brandybuck and Peregrine Took, Merry and Pip, from The Lord of the Rings) were found as newborn kittens in an abandoned house, abandoned by the mother too. They're like children, keeping us on our toes.

Good stuff! They're all gorgeous.

I have one of those that is a few days away from making the journey before it becomes an inside cow.

Speaking of heifers, here's Cowboy:

I had posted on this thread previously, but last February I lost my Great Pyrenees-Akbash mix to cancer. I still had two other dogs, but missed having a Great Pyrenees. A few weeks ago I came across a Facebook post from a local rescue about a Pyrenees they had up for adoption. The post was over 2 months old, so I messaged them to ask if the dog was still available. He was but he was being fostered in Buffalo, NY. Apparently, it is easier to adopt Pyrenees in the Northeast, since most folks down this way only want them to be livestock guardian dogs.

My wife and I were heading to Ohio on vacation, but instead of accompanying her to the Glass Gathering at the West Virginia Museum of American Glass as we originally planned, I took a trip up to Buffalo to adopt this handsome fellow:

Doxie lover here too. I have to know... did the motivation for the name come at all from the old commercial where the guy had a baseball allegedly signed by Honus Wagner? (The one where he shrugged and said, "I thought Pickles would like it.")

Here is a pic of Bubba from today and one from 11years and 10 days ago when we adopted him. I was hoping to get him to sit for a similar pic but he is old and his bad hips said no sitting today.

This is Bo, adopted at 12 weeks old through Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (WTAR) in Merrifield, VA. If you live in the DC/MD/VA area and are looking for a dog or cat, please consider WTAR. It is a great organization that saves many animals that would otherwise be euthanized.

Love these threads and getting to see everyone's sidekick(s)!

This is Roxie. She's a 13 or 14-year-old Yorkie mix - a sweet old lady dog. My family adopted her three and a half years ago - my dad didn't want a dog but my sister yearned for one and in the end she won out. Now we all love her - my dad not the least.

The first picture of her is one my sister took just a couple days ago - the second is from a few years ago.

LOL. Has to be something like that. It's pretty funny at times, when he's tired/dopey, and he looks at us with his tongue out he looks like such a doofus.
Here he is with his brother, Phineas, out playing in the leaves, which he loves to do. Just like a dog, he'll run right into them after I build a small pile.

I'm very sad to report that Cowboy (2004?-16 June 2025 R.I.P.) is no more. The WOMAN and I bid him a tearful farewell yesterday afternoon as he embarked on his journey across the Rainbow Bridge:



May another one of our longtime companions rest in peace.

Here are some shots from happier times:

Haha, no...my daughter came up with the name.

Sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved pet is hard. We lost our yellow Lab back in November and it still stings at times.

[realbigfatdog]

The wife and I took a year-long hiatus from owning another pet after our beloved Tater passed away in January, '24. Just after New Year's 2025, we rescued this guy after he was pulled from a high-kill shelter in Newark, NJ. His name is Tank, and he's every bit like that moniker. He's also a total sweetheart.

Cowboy had been a member of our family for nearly seventeen years and was approaching 21 years of age (we think). We knew he was slowing down and had taken him to the vet in February where the diagnosis was "old cat" with slowing kidney function. He'd been keeping to his normal routines though and seemed to be enjoying life but at a slower pace.

But he stopped eating and grooming himself over the weekend and was clearly in pain. The WOMAN and I took turns staying up with him all night on the front porch where he loved to be Sunday evening through Monday morning. The vet told us on Monday that one of his internal organs had shut down. We could learn specifically what had gone very wrong with a battery of tests but there was no hope for any kind of recovery. Just more pain and misery until the end.

So I had to make that toughest of all calls. But what's really savage in these situations is that this little creature who's completely devoted to you trusts you implicitly to do what's best for him and thus make everything right. Yet in the end there's nothing you can do but make the god decision and stay there with him as he departs this mortal coil. It's absolutely devastating.

A few more pics from better days:

Rotating this photo before Cleo barfs up some more indigestibles.
