Pets Corner
 

Thought I'd start a thread off for people to post pictures of their pets, past or present :)

I'll start the ball rolling with our cats we have at the moment.

Starting with our newest member, Molly..

you do like your pussies don't you Jeff ;)

They are very therapeutic,

If you stroke them just right you get a very reassuring purr:xmas-smiley-007:

Not looking as professional as your photo's Jeff, but here are my 4....

"Dob" (Red Long-Haired Chihuahua); "Ticky" (Small Jack Russell); "Fudge" (Chihuahua) and "Maggie" (Rare Blue Chihuahua - see below). Loving it by the Radiator!

A better photo of "Maggie"...

http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/...0.jpg~original

They look a very contented lot Bill :)

The chances of me getting all my lot in one photo ( not counting the shop cats of course ) are very unlikely, best I've managed so far is three and that was just a snapshot rather than a posed/setup photo!

And "Fudge"...

http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original

And "Dob"...

Here's one of our tom Angus (after Angus Young!) I will try and find a picture of his sister.

I bet they're a handful come 'walkies' time :icon_lol:

He is a handsome fellow:)

I do like Ginger Cats....

And did you know that Ginger Cats are always Male and Tortoiseshell are Female.... ;)

"YES"! :icon_redface:

Mine's in here somewhere....http://petcrematorium-petcemetery.co...t-Cemetery.jpg

Lester

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...ps22ffcc37.jpg

Both dogs.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...psa43f801e.jpg

Willow is a Bichon Frise and Lester is a bat eared psychopath who loves jumping, destruction and bubbles.

Predominantly but not always the case, especially with gingers:Snow:

This is Ginger, she lived to the ripe old age of 22..

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps0s3ng8dj.jpg

And this is Tiger, she was 17 when she left us..

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...psoyh2e9l2.jpg

Those pictures you would think they are the epitome of calm:Snow:

Beautiful..!!

She was a real character, typical ginger with a fiesty attitude :xmas-smiley-024:

She liked things on her terms but that endeared her to you ;)

The Vet was scared out of his wits when she had to go and see him for anything :xmas-smiley-007:

This was a stray girl that we rescued at the shop,

We couldn't keep her as she didn't get on with the other shop cats so she went to the rescue and was found a new home.
She is apparently doing very well and her new human loves her to bits:Snow:

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...psvooeh9dx.jpg

Anyhow, strayed off the our own pets but there so back on topic:icon_lol:

Angus' sister - Rio, proving she's still a kitten at heart!

Simply gorgeous looking puddy tat :)

Thought I'd just take a quick festive selfie with Cubby and myself:Snow:

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...psnuifbgaw.jpg

here's our household currently.

Alfie (Dober-Weiler) and Marmite (American Bull-Weiler) and they are soft as anything. They are scared of rain drops and flatly put the brakes on when asked to go out for toilet duties.

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/823/aeva.jpg
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/703/yq7i.jpg

and this is my little baby Gizmo. Love her to bits, especially as she hates everyone else but me ;)

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...90/42/ngun.jpg

Looking good, do they all get on together well ?:xmas-smiley-024:

surpringly yes.
Marmite adores Gizmo and she puts him in his place by clamping onto his nose like the Alien face hugger ;)
Alfie is too excited and clumsy when he sees her like he is with humans, he seems to love all people and other animals but it's sometimes to his detriment as he's so big and strong, but yet daft as a brush and clumsy and feels like he's smacked you with a baseball bat with those lanky legs :Snow:

http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/a...georgie130.jpg

My Georgie ,I love her to bits

She is a lovely girl Steve, big white bundle of joy :)

Just found an old photo of "Higgins", the Bull Terrier we used to have in Zimbabwe.

He was such a lovely dog, and always kept a watchful eye on our daughter, (now 28) when we were out walking or waiting outside the local shops.... Everyone gave him a wide birth...lol. But he never barked or growled at anyone! Just looked.... ;)

This is Tinker who also came from the rescue as an elderly cat who's owner had sadly passed..

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps836319e5.jpg

This is Smoky, Ros gained his trust at the rescue as he was scared of everyone.
He came around and became a great friend only to be cruelly taken by FIP..

Merlin ...siamese X Bengal @ 8 weeks in 2001

http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps9792c3f5.jpg

And now in 2014 ..in regal pose :icon_lol:

http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/k...ps030c4e80.jpg

He has grown into a very handsome chap, I bet he is quite a vocal speaker :)

Cor, tell us about it ,,:icon_rolleyes: ..
The Siamese side is very loud ..and always on on at us :icon_lol:.

Not so much now, with wobblier back legs .. But he was a real Houdini with Doors, could open lever handles and latches to let himself in or out ,

No good with round knobs tho ' :icon_cheesygrin:

C.

Wow, what a handsome chap he is, very regal.

Bit of an olde puss these days @ 13 years old .:icon_lol:.

Just found this - Rio and Angus when they were only a few months old -enjoying a rare moment of togetherness!

Looking really sweet together :)

I drug em to keep em docile :xmas-smiley-007:

http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/a.../ImCute3-1.jpg


How can you not love a face like this

Georgie at 12 weeks old

Simply adorable!

Two gorgeous looking dogs. I was interested by the Bullweiler as we have one too. Although they look quite different. We have 3 dogs, a Jack Russell called Bailey (14yrs), Brandi the American Bullweiler (4yrs) and a 2yr old Staffie called Li'lee. Bailey is the boss, and all 3 of them are softies

They look great pals together :)
You forgot to tell us who the cat is :Snow:

The cat is Sooty, unfortunately he is no longer with us :icon_sad:

So sorry to hear that,

Looks like he got on great with the dogs, RIP Sooty.

Hi all
Joey & Lucy up to no good!

The ironing board is at the back of the sofa ,so they climbed onto the sofa and sat on the ironing board

Attachment 42856
Regards
Steve

I thought you were training them up to do the ironing :xmas-smiley-024:

Here is one of Humphrey our rescue dog and Daniel our grandson. Both of which love traveling in the car.

He looks very happy to have found you and great friends with Daniel :)

Thanks Jeff,
All the of our pets past and present have been rescues in one way or another. I love the photos of your small family of cats.
Phil:Snow:

Hi Phil,

Take a look in the 'Little balls of Fluff' thread on here and you will get to see some of the cats and kittens looking for new homes at the rescue centre where Ros and I help out.........and occasionally smuggle the odd cat or two home from:xmas-smiley-024:

Attachment 42903

Hello folks,

this is my first ever attempt at putting up a picture, and my second ever post.

I only took this picture the other day and thought it particularly fitting...

The one on the left is mine (Lottie- Shapei/Beagle), the one in the middle is my sister's (Bailey- Douge De Bordeux) and the one on the right my neice's (Josie - Bichon crossed with something else)

My lil dog. A Bichon Frise, kennel name "Button" But I call him Muppet coz he looks like one innit.. :Snow:

They all look ready for a lovely walk:Snow:
The tourer is a great tool for pet adventures ;)

He's a cutie ain't he, you'll need a high vis coat for him when the snow comes:Snow:

Willow
 

Introducing Willow,

Willow is a rescue cat, she was abandoned at our local cat and dog shelter whilst pregnant, she had her kittens and as always everyone was keen to adopt a Kitten, well we fell for her, and agreed to adopt as soon as we met her.
She is estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old, a relatively small cat but with wonderful markings.

We had to wait until Willow's kittens had been re-homed and her milk had dried up prior to her been spayed and injections brought up to date.

A lot of people sound shocked when you say you are 'paying' to adopt a cat, in Willows case £80 but this is a small cost at ensuring she has a medical, injections and spayed and it also helps to support the local shelter.

Anyway she is settling in nicely after weeks of been cooped up in a relatively small area, with noises and smells of many dogs and cats, she is lavishing the peace and warmth of the house.

Hi Keith,

Willow looks like the cat that has got the cream, she is gorgeous and looks totally contented in her new home :)

We also make a charge for adopting a cat at the rescue, it is run entirely on donations and the money contributes towards the cats ongoing welfare including food, shelter and veterinary costs:Snow:

I'm going to upload pictures of our ladies past and present once I figure out how as every time I go to my images to get another I lose the first one.

Our Girls Past & Present.
 

This is Smokey. She is almost 19 and she is the Alpha Cat despite having a string of health issues. She came from the Bluecross.

Hello to Pepper and Merlin, they look a pair of contented puddy tats :)

Hi Jeff, yes I got your reply but as I could not remember my photobucket password I uploaded the pictures one at a time, saving the thread each time.

Morning Paul,

However you posted them they all look great Sir:)

It's great to see how many members have such beautiful loving puddy tats. We totally adore our girls and as my wife would say, a house is not a home without a Cat. We do have a Jack as well called Scrappy and Misty and Smudge are his girl friends

Don't forget the photo of Scrappy as well:)

I had a Black Lab for sixteen years called Ebony although we all called her Bonnie.

I still miss her loads even though she has been gone nearly 15 years .
I'll see if I can scan some photos of her in and post them up :Snow:

Hi Jeff, I will get a picture of stinky (Scrappy) and post it up tomorrow. The eldest, Smokey is off to the vets tonight to have her eye pressures taken. She has to go every month since it was first diagnosed 6 months ago.

Here's my two. Mischa and Bracken

Scrappy
 

This is Scrappy (AKA Stinky) our 10 Year old Jack. He is a rescue dog who came from Farnham. He is the boyfriend of our 2 cats Smudge and Misty.

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...803c182984.jpg

Hi Scrappy, welcome aboard the Pets Corner photo gallery :)

Glad to see you are best friends with your feline companions as well ;)

Cheers Jeff. He is certainly one for the ladies. There are times when he is cuddled up with Smudge and washing her that I tell them to 'get a room'.

Excuse the quality as these are just copies I took using my iPhone !

These are a few pictures of my Black Labrador Ebony who was with me till she was sixteen.

This is Minni, the cat that Ebony ( Bonnie ) grew up with :)

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...pstmekkaot.jpg

She's gorgeous Jeff

We've just lost our second lab last week, so difficult. 2 in less than a year - 1st one 13 and a half and second one Just turned 8.

Sorry to hear that Graham, it's not easy as our pets very much become part of the family.

Bonnie has been gone around 15 years but I still miss her loads.
My situation with work etc doesn't really mean I can have another dog but I'd like to think that in the future I will.......cat friendly one of course ;)

Of Course :)

Never owned a cat, but love all animals tbh.

If we did (and its not something I'm thinking off right now, too raw) get another Dog, it would be a rescue Dog.

SWMBO Is a housewife, so there's always someone home :)

Yeah they're certainly part of the family, we don't have children, so Fur Babies are our equivalent.

Same for Ros and I, no kids just balls of fluff:Snow:

Found another one of Bonnie and I in her favourite place...... typical Lab ;)

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...psia1flhhj.jpg

Here's my Babies.

After a nice day at the Blue Lagoon.

Megan (The Youngest on the Left) and Lady (On the right).

What was difficult with Megan, was I took her the Vets a week or so ago, after she developed a bit of a limp and he commented on how healthy she was, and no hip dysplasia or anything.

Did Blood Tests, and then back for an X-ray. And he virtually said, we needed to have her put to sleep virtually immediately. I told him I had to take her home for a couple of days, to try and come to terms with it all.


They were both a Joy, neither of them one bit of bother.

And another when we first got Megan. She just automatically learned to Sit, and always if you got the camera out.

So sad Graham, may I ask what Megan had wrong with her?

She had a huge Tumour, pretty much from her spine to the bottom of her belly. Too large to be removed.

Couldn't be seen externally, that was the reason they needed a scan, and the reason her leg had went "lame".

She had shown no symptoms at all, didn't go off her food, or anything. Poor Beggar.

I asked, if there was any way that we could have known, and he said other than having regular scans, with no prompts, Not really.

This was last week.

So its been a right year of it all in all.

Looks like more surgery on the Wrist eminent too. So almost a year of physio, only to start again. And the cold is really giving me an idea of what the arthritis will have in store. At 35 years old too :icon_cry:.

At least she didn't suffer with it Graham,

Hope next year will be a better one for you and yours .

Thanks Jeff and to you and yours too. :christmas:

Got a bit of a Lump in the throat posting the pics to tell you the truth :icon_cry:

When we lost lady, it was quite expected, as she had quite a few ailments for many years (Cost about 15k in the last 4 years of her life in vet bills).

But Megan was so sudden, but yeah you're right about the suffering. Was just hard, as aside from the leg, she was behaving her normal happy self.

I had a tribute tattoo on my chest after Lady (not a pic of her, as I wouldn't trust it to look like her), and I'm booked in next week for a few hours pain, for a matching one for Megan. Not to everyone's tastes I know, but, I like to know that they're sort of still part of me for life. I'll post a pic when Its all done :)

Posting the pictures up on the net keeps them close to us as well I find!
I'm on the bed trying to post this with two of my lot sprawled all on me:Snow:

They give far more back don't they?:Snow:

Some people don't understand this.

Unconditional love......that and how to take up all the room on the bed!!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...pshgspgjdp.jpg

I'll squeeze in somewhere :icon_lol:

From cute pup to ever so handsome boy :)

Lovely Puddy tats, are they brother and sister ? :)

No, mitzi is 2 1/2 we got her as a kitten, Dixie is a 1 and a rescue cat she was abandoned in a house when her owners moved out. Being both female they do fight quite a lot but i have proof they do get on sometimes.
http://i1365.photobucket.com/albums/...pseuhzgcmy.jpg

Ours are the same, squabble one minute and bosom buddies the next ;)

This is a picture that Ros took of Molly and Jo Jo snuggling up together in the conservotory :}

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...psrvqsw5dd.jpg

so unbelievably cute.

Looks can be very deceiving Paul, Molly is complete pain in the neck:eek:
Love her too bits though:}

One of our Chihuahuas 'Fudge' taken the other night chillin' in the candlelight.... ;)

Very peaceful looking pooch :}

Molly is relaxing watching Silent Witness:}

My 2 lovable rogues. Big one is 13 year old Paula. A Rhodesian Ridgeback/ American staff mix my mrs got as a puppy in Germany. Small one is Schmauli a staffy mongrel we rescued 3 years ago. Can't imagine life without them.

They look like the best of pals as well:}

She keeps him in his place when required.

This is them just now! Both fast asleep! :-)

He has a lot of energy!

Sorry Geoff, No pussycats for us this time..
 

As per title really, After being without the patter of tiny paws for a few months and me now being at home all day we decided to hunt out a dog.

After a few meetings and disappointments, tomorrow I am off to sunny Colchester to pick up this bundle of fluff (but not a little bundle). His name is Marley and he's a 2yr old bear headed American Akita, grown up with kids around (6 at one point). He's only been with his current family a week, but tbh they messed up as they have a male Akita already and you don't put boys with boys. I expect it to be hard going initially but hopefully after a few weeks they'll be one more permanent member to the Richardson household.

http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/...505bc583-1.jpg


He's a little underweight atm at 100Lbs :eek: so we'll have to get him fed up a little, but you can see his size next to the washing machine. Kids love him already and they only met him for 30 mins :}

I'll try for a better pic tomorrow if he lets me :D

He is very cute! Monster appetite.

Not that terrible all things considered, the other one eats 15kg of dried every six weeks and it costs roughly £45 if you get the 15kg bags. Plus obviously the treats etc.

I said the the wife & kids if you want him it'll be Maccy D's & a meal out every month not every fortnight like now and they said ok. Whether that happens of course is another issue :)

This chap will defo be insured though, after spending nigh on £800 on Marco the moggy only for him to have to be put to sleep due to something else three months later was somewhat of a kick in the teeth, Especially as he was only 2yrs old. :(

Agreed, Super cute he is :)

He looks lovely Steve,

I'm sure he will be a welcome addition to the family:bowdown:

Lots more photos when he's home please ;)

Here you go Geoff, A couple from home and one from our walk at Maldon prom this morning. Someone commented that he looked like he'd been part of our family forever as he was so at ease with us, When I told them we got him yesterday they couldn't believe it..:}


http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6579cd12.jpg
Luckily he doesn't fit on the sofa..

http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/...psmvqvsjjg.jpg
Sitting with Hayley

http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/...psvudtpu14.jpg
With Sydney, Georgia & I. T'was interesting, pulls like a 'sterd and wants to play with smaller dogs (He was brought up with one) and argue with bigger ones :duh:, so head collar & training to be done..

Think it would have been cheaper to insure & feed a ZT260 tbh :D

He's georgous Steve:}
Looks like he has well and truly landed on his feet with his new family:bowdown:

Cheers Jeff, He's obviously been trained well in the home, doesn't beg or hover when you have food etc.

This was him earlier as I was dishing up a full on roast dinner, Only problem atm is that his sin bin cage takes up so much room, but I don't think we'll ever have to use it tbh so we'll put it away soon..This was also before we'd given him his dinner so I would have expected him to be making a nuisance of himself really ;)

http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/...kimqnleb-1.jpg

Our two BC's, this last summer. The bigger one is Charlie 9 year old and the big brother of the other one, Shayleigh who is 2 year old. He is a BC / Newfoundland cross. She is all BC and quite tiny for a BC less than half his size. He is as soft as they come, she is trouble from the time she wakes up. Teases me, him, or anyone in range. She starts the arguments, then hides behind him when the fur starts to fly.

Both are absolutely great with kids..

The pair
http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...psa886d549.jpg

Charlie
http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...psc966ffbd.jpg

Shayleigh
http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps38942fc9.jpg

Both have blue merl socks, she has it on her snout too, but his litter sister was all over blue merl, but very sadly died at just 3 years of age. She was absolutely brilliantly clever. She would watch TV and recognise what she saw, she taught herself to open the cars electric windows, unlatch the house internal doors, she even worked out how to undo the window catches on the caravan windows to get out. These two are not nearly has clever.

Charlie looks lovely, has that look of 'yeah, i've seen it all before'..Always the women that are the trouble makers or up to no good :D

In this case, spot on...

Stocktake got a taste of her looking for trouble earlier, when I he tried to collect his IPK - sorry Dave:duh:

Rhana our aged German Shepherd (12 when the pic was taken, she is sadly no longer with us), and Boris the Borzoi puppy aged 6 months. The "puppy" now weighs 50 kilos and stands 34 inches at the shoulder.

They were like chalk and cheese - Rhana was very intelligent, Boris is as thick as a plank............ but the old girl taught him a few tricks before she left.

Lovely photo....
I bet they kept the weekly shopping basket full to brimming ;)

The running costs aren't a problem - The Borzoi spends 22 hours a day in his bed watching the world go by, and 2 X 30 minute sessions of absolute mayhem (walks, or chasing anything that moves) a day keeps him happy, so he doesn't burn up a lot of fuel........... it's the servicing costs (aka Vet bills) which make your eyes water :eek:

Don't I know it:eek:

Ros and I have six cats to run........and I don't mean Jaguars ;):D

Lovely photos Harry,
They look a great pair together:}

RIP Smokey
 

We lost our old girl yesterday. She was almost 19 and had many health issues and she couldn't take it any more. She is badly missed by myself, my wife and the 3 remaining cats. RIP Smokey

Hi Paul,

So sorry to hear your sad news,
She must have lived a lovely life with your family and passed away with all the love that surrounded her.
Our thoughts and wishes are with you and your family.

He spends a lot of time stood at our gate, watching the world go by. He usually gives a good morning bark to the other dogs as they walk by. She has to spoil it by going berserk with the barking, when she is out there.

I'm the one charged with giving a quick tap on the front window, when the barking gets out of hand and waggling a finger. Both understand and come bounding back up the drive.

Cheers Jeff. She had pretty well given up, she wouldn't eat, wouldn't drink and wouldn't even use the litter box as when she walked she fell over. Den and I discussed it saturday night and Den got an emergency appointment yesterday afternoon. It was quite weird as the others where fussy me at 3:25 and when Den got back from the vets she said she went to sleep at 3:25. The others must have known somehow. She had 18 wonderful years with us and was loved dearly. Thats 3 ladies we've lost now since November last year.

So here is the naughtiest puppy ever born, Barney Bear Paws.

This is them now. Barney is easily twice the weight of Ronnie.

A lovely pair they make, proper best buddies by the looks of it:}

Here is our doggie, usually ruled by the cats :D

Hello to Andy's Doggie:}

A very handsome one at that as well;)

Some beautiful pets on here!

Cheers Jeff, they are pretty much inseparable and have been since we brought Barney home. Barney will happily ambush anything that is near him be that Ronnie or my trouser leg, he has a particular fondness for socks:shrug:If left to his own devices he would eat every sock in the house.

Meet the T-Cup. :}

Watch her play Patty-Cake on Youtube :duh: HERE!

A real cutie you have there:}

here is my girl

this is Tom, he likes to watch if there is any work going on, almost taking it in, and assessing you! (including any workmen or tradesmen)

this is Kitty, she is not fat! just big furred! incidentally, she only gets specialist diet food, and gets clean bills of health from the vet, but the weight does just stay on.

Attachment 46469 Tom as a kitten, with the slight turn in his eye, which you can still see when he gets tired

This is Peanut, our 19 week old Jack Russell. Looks like butter doesn't melt lol

Lovely photos..........they look an adorable pair :)

Love his wooly pully , looks a real character :}

that's Kitty lol. they love to hate each other. I should add, after Tom went out one day, he got lost for a week, and now is incredibly nervous of being outside. and gets lost and confused easily, so now neither get out, except on a harness, secured to ask plant pot and just in the back yard. he is not like a normal cat, behaving more like a dog, playing fetch, meeting me at the door after work, and sleeping under my legs when sitting on the sofa.

he loves the smell of chopped onions too, and can be difficult to keep him away. his eyes water like ours do Attachment 46471

one of the bizarre things he does that we cannot seem to stop, (he won't use a covered litter tray) is when he urinates, half way through he begins to walk forward, whilst still urinating, all the way out of the box. there is absorbant material in front, just in case we don't get to him in time (we would just stand in front of him,when we do, calmly talking to him) there are two boxes by the way, and both cats share them but for Opposite business lol.

She sure is a character. Loves nothing more than sleeping inside our dressing gowns, but only when we're wearing them lol

Thought it might have been Kitty but her bib looked bigger/fluffier so I modified my post in case I looked more silly than usual;)

Off to the cat rescue in a short while so will post up any new Puddy tat arrivals in the little balls of fluff thread on here :}

That's out wee Abbey had her hair done (clipped). Girl stuck a "scarf" on her, Milka our old Poodle is following her around the house, presumably laughing!
