Wonderful wonderful pics, wonderful animals, and some great animal parents too.
We have one dog, a pound rescue. She is 1/2 dauschund, and 1/2 border collie. When people ask, we describe her as a jacked up dauschund or a stretch collie. Either works, and she is gorgeous. Named Baby of course. Allergic to everything under the sun, which is why she was in the pound, but after 7 years, she is doing a lot better. We have the single best vet in Texas I think.
We also have an 2 year old Egyptian Mau named Persephone (family name of Sephie) who is both sweet and irritating. She can open every door in the house, so we have to keep the outside doors deadbolted, or else we are chasing her around the golf course.
And a year ago, what we thought was a poor little kitten showed up on our back porch and wouldn't go away. Thought she had had an encounter with a car, because her face was all smushed in. Hah -
Took her to the vet to find out if she was chipped - found out se was a couple years old, pregnant, and only 4.5 pounds. She would not have survived giving birth, so we choose to keep her and took the kittens.
She is a "Chocolate Point Himalayan", meaning someone had *bred* her to have the smushed face, along with the breathing problems and runny eyes, and all the other physical challenges. Beggars! Anyway, her name is Sasha and she is now 7 pounds, and the Alpha Cat. She looks like a Kung Fu Panda bear when she is asserting herself, because she gets on her back feet and slaps around the dog, cats, and even humans when she is irritated with them.
Didn't mean to hijack your thread, we just love our animals, and it is evident you do too!
