Pets

[Hers Always]

If this shouldn't be here, then please move it. But I wasn't sure if there was a thread for pets. I like to show off mine. so I am going to post some pics of my furbabies. Anyone can post pics or just tell about your pets. I hope this is okay.

Sammie and Bianca. Sammie is the cat.

That's Ceasar. He is HUGE now. He was only a couple of months old there.

very very nice fur (saying that makes me think of harvesting fur...a la cruella of 101 dals)! sammie's (intensifier) cute!

damn it. wish i can remember just where i posted my dog's pics. took tens of them 2 years or so ago and gah! she's an australian silky terrier whom i think isn't pure. heh. cross bred with some or the other, since she's much bigger (ok, not a lot. maybe 160% of a pure's?). currently...10++ years old !

I'm not sure if this would be the right thread for this, but seeing as how I couldn't find a pet adoption thread and didn't think this was worthy of starting a new thread, it's going here.

I have a friend who has two cats (Emerson and Chairman Meow) who are the furry loves of her life. Unfortunately, the human love of her life whom she married in June is deathly allergic to the cats and has gotten progressively sicker after four years of dating and 2+ of cohabitation. They have tried everything... no carpets, allergy meds, air purifiers, bathing of the cats. There's just nothing that can be done. While my allergic friend loves the cats, she's starting to become increasingly miserable and resentful towards them because of her worsening allergy problems.

In the past six months they've acquired a chihuahua and moved into a new place and the cats are not dealing well with any of these changes. Emerson has taken to peeing on their leather couches. The other is continually terrorized by the dog. The house is nowhere near being harmonious. It's causing friction in their marriage.

So my friends have decided that to save 1) the cats from the stress of the dog and the negative energy in their home, 2) the allergic one's lung capacity, and 3) their relationship, they'd like to find a new loving home for the cats. I know there are a lot of major animal lovers on this board so I thought I'd throw it out here to see if anyone in this region (New England... though they'd be willing to transport the cats further, I think) would be interested in taking on one or both of these boys.

About the cats. Emerson is the older of the two, I think he may be 5 or 6 years old. He's a really sweet guy, gray and chubby, but he has some health problems. I'm not sure what the diagnosis is exactly but he was vomiting and pooping blood a few years ago and now takes a medication daily that prevents it. My friend will continue to pay for his medication so that whomever adopts him will not have to incur that financial burden. Chairman is a solid black cat who is large but fairly lean. He's a little rascally but has no health problems and is only 2 or 3 years old. He suffers the brunt of the dog's wrath.

Anyway, if you or anyone you know may be interested please send me a PM with your contact information and any questions you may have. Thanks!

While I love cats, and would love to adopt them, I can't. We already have one cat, and 3 dogs. Marilyn, our kitty, can barely stand them, lol, and I wouldn't subject any other cats to our pups either. I also wanted to talk about them because they are so damn cute. Tonight Mercury and Rhainnon were playing so much they almost turned the coffee table over playing under it. They're so big now, and we got them at 6 weeks old, looking back, seeing how much they've grown up, its amazing. Mercury and Rhainnon are brother and sister, we got them the exact same day, and they are from the same litter. They are chow, german shepard, black lab mixes, and Rhainnon looks completely shepard, and Mercury looks all chow. So cute. Mercury's eyes are different too. They still retain a mostly blue look, and are a little grayish wine colored sometimes as well, instead of the natural brownish color dogs eyes tend to be. And our 3rd dog, my beloved Jazz, I got him when I was 12, for christmas. He's a full blood yorkie who thinks hes a full blood doberman, or rott or something. We currently have a 4th dog for a short time, Ananew, my uncles dog, because hes out of state and cant take him until the move is finished. And then the kitty, Marilyn, named after Marilyn Monroe. If you want to see pictures go here www.myspace.com/ymca_lifeguard and go to my pictures. They are in the pets folder, at least, Mercury and Rhainnon are. I have yet to post pictures of the rest. Yay for pets.

My partner and I have three dogs (substitute family anyone!) and I'm exceptionally biased when I say they're the cutest dogs on the face of the planet. (I'll link a picture soon to prove it!)

We've got Justin the Boston Terrier, Perry the Pug and Susan the Smooth-coated Griffon...yes, we have a thing for dogs with flat faces!! They're all quite young, Justin is 1 year, Perry 11months and Susan is about 6 months.
