Quite a few of you have talked about your animals - let's see pictures of your furbabies.

I have 4 animals - 2 cats and 2 dogs.

This is my Manitou - he's a 6 year old Rottweiler/Collie mix:


Cali - 8 year old Lab/Whippet mix:


My two kitty girls - 11 year old tuxedo cat (and polydactyl!) Isis and 7 year old fatty Dharma:

I love them ALL! I would like to cuddle with Manitou!

Pics of mine coming soon!

He is my 80 pound cuddle bug!!! He is a mama's boy and so in tune with my emotions and i love him. Since becoming pregnant he is my shadow and now instead of laying on top of my he usually puts his head on my lap and just stares at me with those soulful eyes.

[kbpeanut]

I can tell, I just love him to pieces!

[kbpeanut]

Ok, here goes!

Max
Miniature Pinscher. He is the worlds sweetest dog. He is 16 years old, blind and deaf, but a gem of a cuddler. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old.


Peanut
Peanut is my little spoil. He was born in my living room just over 15 years ago, product of Max (above) and Molly (below). He was a runt, and wouldn't nurse from Molly, so I bottle raised him. He is now imprinted on me, and thinks of me as mom. He is 7 lbs of rotten spoiled brat, but I love him almost more than I love myself.


Molly
I still include her in my list, because we only recently lost Molly. She passed in May of this year, and was 16 years 2 months old. She had been sick for a while with congestive heart failure, but near the end she ruptured a tendon in her heart (very hard to live long that way). She lived about 3 weeks after that happened, and she passed peacefully into doggie heaven. I got her at the same time as Max, about 8 weeks old. She tried to be a good mom to Peanut, but Peanut had other plans. Here is a picture of her about a week before she left us. I still can't get over how surprisingly good she looked, despite the fact that she was so skinny.


Norman
Norman is my juvenile crested gecko. He is a ham. He behaves like a gecko should, sleeping during the day, awake at night. He loves getting crickets once in a while for a snack (cresties don't feed on crickets for their normal diet).


Philharmonica "Phil"
Phil is my male veil-tail betta splendens. He is quite the character. When people say that fish don't have personality, don't believe them! He is a PIG, and loves to eat. He plays games in his air bubbles from the air stone in his tank, and loves to rest on his hammock shaped like a leaf. This photo was taken a long time ago, in his starter tank. He lives in a 6.5 gallon tank now that is MUCH larger.


Virgil
Virgil is my purple pincher hermit crab. I don't have a picture of him handy, but he's not all that interesting to look at. I probably have one somewhere, I'll see if I can find and upload. He's asleep right now, so I can't get a good one of him during the day. He is lonely, as he just lost his friend Chester not long after we lost Molly.

There you go!

My furbaby is Mimi...a min pin with a huge personality! When we got her she was only 2 lbs and my husband warned me she would get bigger and not always be cute and little...he was wrong haha. She is still cute, and still very little weighing in at 5 lbs. I'm not sure who is going to have more separation anxiety with the baby coming into the mix, Mimi or me! She is definitely going to be jealous, but I can't blame her, as well as we have trained her...she is spoilt rotten. The furbaby has her own bin of toys at her disposal and sleeps in our bed. What a diva

Mimi at 3 1/2 months ( I seriously document her life like she is my biological child). She still sits like that, cross legged and all. It's hilarious

[Babyschultz]

Here is cleo at the age of 11 doing what she does best.



Here she is when she was just a little kitty.

[1stbaby]

Here is Phoebe, the apple of my eye. I went on a first date with a guy and brought home his ex-wife's dog. It didn't work out with the guy, but I refused to give my baby back.


This is Aleu. She is the weirdest dog you will ever meet.

Another Min Pin!! You are the 2nd person I've "met" on JM that has a min pin! My other min pin owning friend has one named Max too!

Your Mimi is precious!

Tell me more!

[1stbaby]

Aleu is high strung, but a huge weeney. She will bark at something until it looks at her then she puts her tail between her legs and high tails it behind our legs. She is afraid of cars, so, going for walks with her is tough. She had her hip bone removed as a puppy so she carries one of her back legs almost constantly. If it's below 85 she is freezing. She is just strange.

[kbpeanut]

Awwww, but she is so precious!! Italian Greyhound?

Awww, thanks. Most people are creeped out by lizards, but I just love them. Norman is just a cutie pie. When I used to be able to stay up later at night (and when I wasn't as concerned about handling him), I would take him out and I would do whatever on the computer, and he would just run up and down my arms. Here's a few more:

Norman playing on my arm:


Good shot of his eyes:


Playing on his plant:

[B]This is Phoebe, I got her from a local shelter in Spring of 05.


This is Sammy, friend gave him to me from a litter she had, Summer 05.

[mamaginger]

This is my fat Mama Cat. She is the fattest laziest cat ever but she is so gentle and sweet. All the other cats love her and follow her around. She got attacked by 3 dogs back in May and I thought she was going to die. I nursed her back to health and she's almost completely healed now. She was hurt so bad. I love my Mama Cat. (even though she's smushing my flowers )


This is Pepper (Mama Cat's baby) and Snowball (Mama Cat's grand kitty).


Here's Snowball in the flower pot...i guess they like that spot

I love her to pieces. I never liked dogs until her. She really is my little bud.

I thought you had min pins from your photos! A kindred spirit! It's a great breed

I have never been a "cat" person. I LOVE cats, don't get me wrong, but I prefer the exotic variety. However, in other people's homes, I love them. These pictures just melted my heart

[LadieBug]

This is Gracie. We rescued her off death row in the NYC dog pound. She was set to be put to sleep the next morning. By the scars on her body we can tell she was either used for fighting or maybe a bait dog. She is about 3 yrs old, great with kids, good listener, doesn't run off... Just an all around good girl considering her uncertain past. Yes she is a pit bull


Here is a second pic of her and DD


Here is Chelsea, she is my brothers dog. She is about 11 yrs old and was rescued after she was found starving to death in a city park many years ago. She was a throw-away mama. She's a sweet old lady


This is Brodie, my angel fur baby. He was a German Rottweiler that we got as a puppy. He passed away last Christmas at age 3 after a sudden mysterious illness. It was devastating. He was my shadow, my protector and my best friend. I miss him dearly.


Here are some pics of him with my DD when she was younger


Trying to snuggle her as she crawled by:


Here are my gigantic angelfish. They are like 5-6 inches! They live in a 45 gallon tank and keep growing and growing. A few years ago, our house was struck by lightening. Every fish in my tank was electrocuted except for these two.

[kbpeanut]

I just cried when I read your post. First, THANK YOU for loving pits. They get such a bad rap, and it is NOT THEIR FAULT. They can be some of the most loving dogs ever. Secondly, thank you for rescuing animals. There are just too many dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. out there. And third, Brodie I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose a pet, but at least with my Molly girl, I had her in my life for over 15 years. Brodie was taken too soon. God's will.

Thanks for sharing...you have rockstar fish!

[colette20]

I have 3 furbabies I love to gush over!


Opie -He is a Maine Coon mix, and is almost 11 years old. He was a barn cat who adopted me He followed me out and ended up staying with me forever. He is sweet and goofy and just a lover.






This is Ollie (Oliver) Also 11 years old. I almost hit him with my car when he was 5 weeks old. I named him Oliver after the artful dodger, as I am unsure how he didnt get hit! He has some tumors now, and will likely be gone soon. I hate to put him down as he is the BEST cat. He's so well behaved and so sweet. Im going to miss him so much.






This is Elvis! he is 13 months old and is a Maine Coon mix and a polydactyl. He has one extra toe on his front two feet and two extra toes on his back two feet (for a total of 24 toes). He is lover!!! He loves to snuggle and is the cutest little thing. I just love him so much.







And this is all 3 babies tonight, staying near their mama who still isn't feeling well...
