4 year old German Shepard/Retriever? Mix named Jake - sweet dog, as dumb as the day is long! We got him as a stray who was about to be put down from our mailman, who also owns a purebred German Shepard breeding/boarding kennel. The vet had called him about this beautiful shepard puppy - George thought he might even be a purebred, but with no lines - he would be hard to adopt out, as time went by - we knew he wasn't pure shepard - his fur is way too soft, and his left ear just won't stand up! We had lost our black lab, Dynah, about 3 months before, and really didn't want another dog,(at least John and I didn't), but the girls were in love at first sight!

We just donated our second stray to the Humane Society. Mica was another mix, who the vet would have to put down (The town only pays for 2 weeks boarding). He was a beautiful Chocolate Lab - Rottie mix, but he was a handful! He was 90 pounds of pure muscle - and an escape artist! We have a chain link kennel outside, and he could dig the smallest hole - and be out in less than five minutes! He was way too strong to be walked, and he could dismantle any run in less than 10 minutes. He also made Jake extremely nervous - the two of them harassed each other constantly. The girls were very sad, as Mica was much more affectionate (sloppy kisses) than Jake - but Jake is a nicer dog and was here first! Luckily, the lady at the Humane Society loved him - and they are a no kill shelter - I hope he found a nice no dog family with lots of room to run!

We also have fish - 2 goldfish - and a bunch of tropical fish.

4 kitties here [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] My furry babies are:

Mina, she'll be 10 this year, beautiful tortoiseshell colored girl, whole lotta attitude

Selena, she'll be 9 this year, gorgeous calico girlie girl, bigtime flirt

Vince Nikki, he'll be 6 this year, very handsome tabby, co-dependant kitty who is convinced I gave birth to him

T-Bone, he'll be 4 this year, another handsome tabby, insane kitty who is in trouble constantly

They were all rescued from the mean streets and now live the life of luxury as my pampered furry babies [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]

We have:

2 miniature dachshund 2 1/2 years old.
1 yellow cat 4 years old.
1 black and white cat 8 years old.

We tend to bring home all the animals that are unwanted. Can you believe that they are all inside. People cannot believe that the dogs and cats play, sleep, eat together. The cats were found in a trap without food or water. DH almost lost his hand when he went to get them. Once they were free, We became best friends. I cannot believe that people would do this to animals. I am always on the phone about animals that I feel are not being treated right. The SPCA here says they cannot respond to every call because they do not have enough funds etc. I feel for all the animals that are unwanted and mistreated. I think a law should pass that if you harm an animal then you need to be treated that way.

We're owned by two cats, Wedge and Tycho. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Both from the shelter. Wedge is almost 2 years old and Tycho is ageless. (No one seems to know; we're guessing around 3.)

We have a cat, Caseycat. I got him from the shelter over 10 years ago. He's 13 now and still going strong!!

Two dogs: Coconut is a Bichon Frise, and is 8.
Lucky is a Maltese, and is 4. DD also had a hampster named Amber, but Amber went to pet heaven in the Fall. We have not yet replaced her with anything, although I'm thinking this will happen soon. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

We have a 5 year old Australian Cattle Dog (otherwise known as a red heeler) named Rhett. And to keep Rhett company we have two indoor cats. Beans who is a 7 year old main coon with long gray/brown hair and the most beautiful green eyes (she's my baby from before DH and I met). And there's Dave, an 8 year old orange and white tabby that we adopted from some friends who moved to Alaska two years ago. We also have one outdoor cat that Rhett grew up with, she's a beautiful 5 year old calico named Kit Kat and she loves to hunt.

We used to have horses too, but since we didn't have enought time to ride, they went to a good home last year. [img]graemlins/cry2.gif[/img]

We have only 1 guinea pig named Mr. Fluffums. He is our third guinea pig to date - preceded by Doofus and Ginger.

We hope to soon get a dog, but it will have to wait until the babies get a little older...I can only housebreak one family member at a time! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Oops! - Almost forgot Pip and Pop (Yes, they were named after the otters...) our 2 fire-bellied toads.

We are owned by two furry babies:

Tigger, my 9-year-old lap cat:


And the boss, 15 and a half year old Fortissimo:


Tiss needs a new friend so I'm hoping to get a new kitty soon. And so Tigger doesn't feel left out, we're going to get a puppy this summer! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
