This is my border collie, Dutchy. She loves to play pool obsessively.
 
Some folks adopt from the local rescue league.  These guys, on the other hand, had to come from another planet.

They're all living together now, but it's hard to get them all in one picture.

Yippee!  Finally got it to work!!

That is our "super mutt" - who would rather be chasing tennis balls than posing for a photo.

What a fine-looking collection of pets.  Who needs pancakes on bunnies when you have jester hats and lobster suits on dogs?

Sheryl, I can assure you that every single pet listed here is at this time ready and waiting to be displayed with a variety of food products, including corn meal flapjacks, on each of their little heads.

Pretty funny, my wife went insane and cooked pancakes a couple of days ago. I have 2 of our 3 dogs trained to take the pancake on their heads and wait for a signal to drop their heads and eat them. The third dog Jake, our redomesticated wild dog, has no comprehension or interest in this practice. One cat will eat a little pancake. None will wear them.

nuisance, those aren't Chihauhas, they're Rats.

Certainly. Your comment had me confused, but Google tells me there really are people who think that chihuahuas are very selectively bred rats. Some people will believe anything (or have never seen a rat).

Interesting...my 1 year old is fascinated with the cats and the dogs we have, but when we visit my in-laws, who have a small car full of chihuahua's, he doesnt even give them a second glance. Crawls or walks right by them.
 
Here's my Splash - all ready to go hiking - she carries water
for both of us!

(), there have been many aphorisms about the Cat Temperament. This is one of of the better ones. :)
 
This is my spoiled lab in his favorite position.

Top: Sandy protects our boat from attacking dolphins. (The most docile dog in the world, but he hates dolphins, ever since one sprayed him.)
Bottom: He rests up from his guard duty; his usual position when we weren't underway.

Funny, Jasmine barks ferociously whenever she see's fish on television. Any kind of water creature at all. She seems pretty mad at them at the time too. Never figured that one out.
 
The only time my dog even acknowledges the tv is if someone's smoke alarm is going off, you'd think it was in our house the way he freaks. I suppose that's not a bad thing if it doesn'e wake up either dh or I.
 
Doorbells or any loud knocking sound on tv, everyone heads to the front door. Fish are barked at ferociously. Any dog or cat is barked at with friendly enthusiasm with tails wagging. Show a dog for .08 seconds on television, that dog who appeared to be soundly asleep launches herself at the tv and stands on her hind legs, tail wagging, barking for it to 'come out of there and play'...

Ted prefers birds on tv. He actively tries to sniff them as they walk or fly across the screen.
 
My border collie is the same way with doorbells on TV. Every time I watch the show "House Hunters" and they ring the bell she takes off for the front door. If there is a dog on the TV show she will sit and watch the show. When she was a young pup her favorite show was "Babe". She would sit and watch the whole movie. Lassie is another favorite.

She is so peculiar. Absolutely petrified of loud noises or falling objects. Her favorite parking place is underneath my bed.

Ginger (aka jester) went crazy when fireworks went off for Christmas and New Years in our neighborhood. I never seen her so frazzled.
