I've got two cats. This is Molly, she is 14. I don't have a pic on my phone of the other one, probably because he won't sit still long enough for me to get a decent shot.
My 176.5 pound guerrilla. He eats pillows.
Could he take down a bear?My 176.5 pound guerrilla. He eats pillows.
Nice shepherd, Had one as a child my favourite dog by far.
For me I have fish..
Old lady let me set up a saltwater aquarium thinking it would be cheaper than getting a dog.... Pretty sure she was dead wrong lol
I don't even like thinking of the $ i put into all the corals and equipment it's crazy.
just picked up a shock collar for my puggle. His Beagle traits are dominate. I just can't get the barking under control. Hopefully the vibration mode will be enough to train him. If not, I'll be forced to shock the little bastard.
Ill clarify myself then. I think all animals show a great sense of 'love' to their owners but I believe its a more special bond if that animal has come from a terrible situation. so its not quite all about the pet to the owner love its the back and forth bond may be more higher at times.
Dont know about dogs. Only have had cats my whole life
But I still stick by my words of adopt rather than buy. Too much overpopulation. Yes I understand the need for some breeders for rare breeds etc. But puppy mills are atrocities.
Its awesome that you've fostered so many dogs. I bet thats a lot of hard work. Were all of them successful? Were you able to train all of those dogs for adoption?
i'll save an extended post about all my pets for an afternoon when i have a bit more free time. but this thread reminded me of an errand i have to run this weekend for an xmas present for my stepdaughter, Casey. we have a basset hound named Bruce and they're very close. Bruce is getting up there in years and i can see her get down when his age comes up in conversation. she knows he's not going to be around forever.
sometime this past year she was roughhousing on the floor with him and i took a couple crappy iphone pics. despite the quality, one looked cute and captured a lot of their relationship:
i commissioned a virtual artist, dax gordine, to adapt the photo as an illustration. it was a real J5 experience - super responsive, asking for other photos of Bruce and Casey to make sure he got things right, and the price was ridiculous considering this is his primary profession and he's basically doing this as a lark and a favor. he sent the below illustration and i'm taking it for framing this weekend at a local shop here.
Chaos shes beautiful! My boy Chico passed away a few months ago after 12 awesome years. Trust me his farts were wayyy worse!
