Lots of people here seem to love cats. They are like the friends you need when you have a bad day. I used to have cats but my mom told them to run away as a joke, they didnt take as a joke and listened!! I now have an 8 year old chihuahua named Mattie but we call her Moo-Moo because she is fat and looks like a cow. We have a 3 year old lab named Diesel who recently made national news for running away and causing a very nice lady trouble for her trying to get him home safe. Lastly we have a beta fish named Gary III and 4 rabbits name riley, henry and havent thought of names for the 2 new ones. Crossing my fingers we have babies in a few days.

SO heres the rabbits. I guess the pictures didnt want to go on the last reply. I will put up some of the news reports on Diesel. Quite an interesting read might I say, might I add he is back home and just the normal Diesel

This is the beginning of it. if you scroll to the bottom of the page you should see about three more stories about him and a women named Jessica. Those others go with this too, talking about her charges and what lies ahead for her.
Oh my what a story ! This morning I was trying to rescue a small dog without a collar and sniffing at trash cans. Fortunately, I had some food in the car and was able to keep him near me while feeding him and trying to call a shelter. During all this a men a few houses away pulled in his driveway, got out of his car and the dog went running to him and into the house. I was angry that he didn't have a collar and the owner wasn't concerned at all - as though it happens all the time.

Yes it does. Mine now has a regular collar with a name tag just in case he likes to not listen and take another adventure.

I really enjoy reading about everyones pets. Right now we have one dog...Cricket, is our Shih Tzu, spoiled rotten and our baby girl. She is going to be 8 next month. She is named Cricket because she hops when she runs or prances. I have always had dogs, tried a cat once, but he didn't like me. Had rabbits in the past and raised beagles for 13 years. I would like to have another rabbit, but don't know that I would be able to take care of it any more. So here is Cricket in all of her glory..
I also have 2 grandkitties, (Shelby and Mazie) and 2 granddogs (Grader, yellow lab--Lily, corgi puppy)
Cricket is adorable! If I could figure out how to post pictures, I would post pics of my furkids… I have two wonderful dogs!
I love that you can your dog “Moo moo”. When our dog was on the chunky side, we called him “Sea-mu” instead of Seamus (after the Sea World whale, Shamu).

I'm severely allergic to animals and outdoor pollen so no pets for me. We had a cockapoo who was put down due to illness. This is the first Spring without her. I miss her, but not my crazy allergies to the pollen she brought in on her coat.
She was a sweet dog.
I’m going to try to add photos of my furkids again… Bella and Hunter.

Well we said never again, definitely not a herding dog, never bigger than bread box, an no long hair, but why worry never again........ Little did I know that once upon a time these were called Scottish Sheep dogs and their best skill was hypnosis (really they stare down cows or sheep,) so as I walked through the animal shelter with my grand-daughter I made the mistake of looking at the only dog not raising a ruckus but rather staring intently at me. Hes good........... he has reorganized the household, has given the cats new rules and is a kleptomaniac (my dirty socks stolen from the laundry ar buried somewhere in the back/ H e has just enough spaniel in him that he retrieves fish and points at humming birds.
