She was the most wonderful dog--when my wife was working late night after night just after she had ascended to the presidency/CEO-ship of her company, Coffee would hear her car arrive and park in the driveway, and immediately erupt into sheer joy--"Mom's home;" Mom's home!" She had a propensity for getting into the garbage even thought she knew that was a no-no, and we used to punish her by putting her into the big doggy cage in the basement for an hour. After awhile, she would get into the garbage anyway when we were away, and as soon as we came home, she would sheepishly go downstairs on her own and put herself into the cage! What a conscience! Truly a riot!
The day she died was my 40th high school reunion, and although I had tickets, I just could not go--would have broken down into tears at any moment. Just sat on the porch sipping a black russian. They are truly family--thanks to all that have shared photos!

We now have 4 rescue cats (cats are easier) varying in age from 2 to 9, which we love dearly and they offer the same love and affection in return. One feral cat I brought home just over two years ago when he was only about 8 weeks old will go down into the family room while I am watching baseball on the big, high def screen and crawl up onto my chest or stomach, put his paws up on my upper chest in a pumping motion of affection, and lick my neck and chin. He is my baseball buddy, my little boy, but the others are similarly affectionate, giving back love for love received.

The wife is prone to saying, "We have too many cats," to which I will reply, "Yes, dear, we are truly blessed with cats." They ARE truly family!

Best to all the animal lovers out there--you are truly the best of people,

Larry

and MY ex-wife had too may shoes (etc.) - but/and I appreciate your way of rationalizing/thinking!

good lookin' dog - curious where the stadium seat is from??? - IF your user name is any indication, I'm guessing (!) old Yankee Stadium or Ebbets Field, but I could be wrong - no matter where it's from, it's still a great prop/backdrop AND dog.

After a lifetime of rescue dogs last year I purchased my first purebred. This is Pacheco he is a one year old bull terrier. I felt guilty after purchasing him for about 5 minutes. For the price of a PSA 6 Koufax I purchased a best friend. He keeps me laughing as he is deliciously bad. He has a taste for expensive shoes and is a big time bra killer. I live with three women so he has a target rich environment. I have a very stressful job and I live vicariously through his I don’t give a sh!t attitude. My wife wants me to get him trained but why would I train all the fun out of him?

Well, he's technically not mine, but I do an awful lot of dog sitting!

Kricket is a rescue (we think he's an 11-year-old Rat Terrier) that my daughter got when one of the surgeons at her place of work (Oradell NJ Animal Hospital) did some free heart surgery on him at the request of the North Shore Animal League.

He is a great dog (though he still has health issues) and he used to be a great drinking companion!

Glad I am not the only one!

I love all animals and have owned a few dogs as well growing up, but due to circumstances, (we both work and feel it is unfair to a dog) we have a cat.

This neglected guy showed up a few days after we put our beloved "Norton" down, He just hung around, followed me to school when I went to pick up my son, became close, even with a wild side as he was an outdoor cat.
After a couple months, a lady, who seen him following us home from school, called his name.
Long story short, he belonged to her neighbor, and after conversing with them, they gave him up.
He was neglected, left outdoors for weeks, left out in the cold/rain, etc. (Found out from her and others)

Trip to vet to get all shots done, check up and has been nothing but a great, appreciative cat ever since.

These same people, for whatever reason, purchased another cat last year, which we seen, out in the rain, the cold, snow etc, and it has disappeared already!

Great dogs everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They all make me

Mike,

BTs are the best (imo ). Had a few years ago. You hit the nail right on the head !!!!!! They don't care. All they want is affection, attention, and having FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone doesn't believe us, here's my brother's BT, Rigby, after a nieces sleep over party:

rigby-with-spots.jpg

Here's Lefty (long gone, but still brings a tear to my I eye, great dog, and he was MY BUDDY):

Lefty.jpg

Also a big French Bull fan, same what the heck attitude. Heck, way lie "in" your doggie bed, when you can lie "next" to it !!!!!

Got to get one one day.

Fun, Fun, Scott

Thanks! Yes, the seat is from the original Yankee Stadium. I picked it up earlier this year. It's amazing how many coats of paint you can see when you look at the back.

This cool dog is a year and half old Australian Shepherd-Poodle mix. Adopted her about a year ago and still working on some of her anxiety issues. She's a sweetheart and hardly sheds at all!
