Show off your dog..or other pet..and how well he/she is treated (and fed)!

[aja8888]

I knew that once my girl dog died I was going to have to find Max
a new girlfriend because he has severe separation anxiety and can’t be left alone. Two weeks ago a friend was trying to find a home for Tessie who is a 8 year old Havenese/wienar dog mix whose mother died.

Tessie is very passive and didn’t do well in the shelter last time. So I took her temporarily so my friend could find her a home. I have asthma and dog allergies so figured I would be allergic to her.

After a week I wasn’t allergic, she trained herself to the potty pad and max loves her and has someone to play with again. The only downside is that she needs a 2k dental which I have scheduled. She also has a growth in her gum so I’m having it removed but not biopsied because I won’t treat cancer in a dog. I’m really hoping that the small growth is nothing and that Tessie has many good years in the Maltese Mansion.

Cutie! does! Does she bark at all? I'm pretty sure that a Havenese breed doesn't bark.

Soooo ... we can't be long without a collie.
I brought Spoon home last month, a 10-month old Australian shepherd. In the words of his foster family, he's a blank slate. But he does have a great recall and picks up on things quickly. I've enrolled him in a couple obedience classes and an agility foundations class for spring.

Spoon is a very handsome fellow!

I adopted him from Midwest Australian Shepherd Rescue. Huge props to the group--the members are excellent people who do a great job.

She barks a couple times a week so far but she’s only half Havanese.

WileE passed away at home today. My heart will never be the same

My deepest condolences. Animals heal our souls. We said goodbye to our oldest cat, Milla, of 16.5 years on 1/16/25. Absolutely gutted. Our bond was magical.

This is when I wish there was a "Like" button on this forum. These pictures are all adorable.

There is a like button at the lower right hand side of every post.

not my pet, but I did borrow daisy today. She comes down to the house job site and noses around, so her lady texts me to send her home etc. Today she is getting a visitation.
She's a chiwenie and simply adorable and a love.

I cannot move now.

^^^^^^ How nice!

This is Giselle, our Norwegian Elkhound, clearly the meanest creature on the face of the Earth. Bite, growl, snarl, and tear it up. Just kidding. A true sweetheart, loves everyone. Even the squirrels like her and come right up to her.

Does he/she have a name?

We no longer have dogs, because they all passed on. We have accumulated 7 cats. Four are inside and 3 live in our backyard in a huge catio. We started with one siamese, but we have a neighbor who shoots and/or poisons cats. So when we see him targeting someone, we try to catch it and spay or neuter it, then find it a home. Sometimes we are successful in finding homes and sometimes they stay. They mostly eat Purina pro plan. This is my Siamese, Molly, and her boyfriend, Morse.

In most localities, poisoning a cat would be a misdemeanor or even a felony. Your choice, but you could alert the authorities. My childhood pet was poisoned by the neighbor. Not good for neighborhood relations, to say the least.

Tessie looks cute, I hope she brings you great joy for along time. Our Nikki was a rescue maltipoo who has completly dominated our hearts!

Daisy with one of her packmates this morning. They might be friends.

That is the old man Chaos, 90 pounds of love.

I took them for a walkabout on the property today, but the two big ones wanted to go be homebodies in short order. Daisy Dazers will hang with me a while.

The problem is proving it... One of my sisters lived on a few acres of land and her dog got out and never came back... she asked around and was told that if it went to X's house it was probably dead... people around knew that dogs went there and did not come back but there was no proof of the crime...

No kidding; if someone shot or poisoned my cat or dog, they would be looking for a new state to live in.

My dad never told me (until years later) that the neighbor was known for poisoning cats. He was afraid his hot-headed (not really but...) 16 year old son might have "over reacted."

In Connecticut, maliciously and intentionally killing or injuring cats and dogs (and many other animals) is a felony. Since animals are also considered personal property, it is also a common law tort and the owner could sue for damages.

I'm sorry you lost your pug, tho she had a good long life with you. Ours is around 16 years old and has been a live wire up until this winter when she began to slow down. They provide so much Life and liveliness, don't they.

Her first snow expierence . Rare snow fall in New Orleans ....

I still recall our first cat's first experience with snow. We opened the back door (fenced yard) and he wouldn't go out in the snow. So we picked him up and put him down in the fresh snow (maybe 2 inches deep). He looked at us like "Wha?" He first lifted one paw and shook it, then put it back down and lifted the other paw and shook it. That went on for a couple of minutes until we recovered from laughing. Then we took him in and loved on him until he got over his traumatic experience.

What great memories our animals leave with us!
