Happy National Pet Day!

[Tailg8er]

Old lady June (~13 yo Golden Doodle)




Presley (~3 yo Plott Hound)








Nugget (~2 yo Tuxedo) - I was against getting him but gave in to my 6 year old after we had her birthday party at the Animal Rescue League.. even though he drives me crazy, I'm his favorite for some reason.








Our house is constantly covered in hair, but I guess they're cute sometimes.

This may be a two-parter...

Cricket, our 15 year old Queen of the house, in her cave



Milo the Dork (left) and Molly Poly (right), 12 year old bonded siblings, Molly has six toes on each front paw,


Puss, followed by Boots. ~11 year old bonded pair. I did NOT name them; my SIL named them.





10 year old Button

And Button's 9 year old son Tab, who weighs in at a svelte 20 lbs.
Milo and Molly were the only cats we actually adopted from a shelter. As for the others, Cricket and Tab were born on our property, in the garage and shop respectively. Puss, Boots, and Button were "walk-ons". They were not feral per se; they were likely dumped by city folk out in the rural wooded areas because "cats can hunt for food and take care of themselves". Sometimes I hate people.

Last but not least, our beloved Mel. Yes, we DID feed him. This picture taken a day or two before he succumbed to kidney failure at 17 years old back in fall 2021.

Exactly! The kids HATE that he just gravitates to me so much.

I’m curious to know the number of CF corgi owners. Here is mine, the name is Hickory:

[Arkansas Cyclone]

Bear (Frenchie) and Texie (our little rescue), Shih tzu/Bichon Frise mix known as Shichon

 

[alarson]

This is Diego

Daughter went to college so Mrs. Velo and I inherited Ziggy...

 

[MeanDean]

Morley.

He's supposed to be Bichon/Maltese mix, but seems to have 100% Bichon characteristics. He's 7.

He's the unofficial mascot of our 12 story condo building here in Florida. People I don't even know call him by name. He loves the staff and they give him treats (probably one of the reasons - he's a treat monster!).

In the first pic he's showing off his diploma from Basic Obedience Training. He's a smart little **** and put the rest of the class to shame. He is programmed to please, so that certainly helped.

It appears many of these pets are spoiled.

As it should be.

Exactly! Lew hates cats, but HE was Mel's hoomin.

2019 Edit - he only claims he hates cats. Anyone who knows him knows better.

Are these pictures AI generated? I mean there are two of them and Lew has his shirt on in BOTH of them!

I was selective.

You had me with the Atari and console radio in the pool hall. Lol.

Does Ziggy normally look that fearful?

Love the name Bear for your Frenchie, classic.

You had me with the Atari and console radio in the pool hall. Lol.

I was wondering if anyone would notice that. Usually, they notice that he's not lining up a shot. Both of those are still functional. Every now and again we boot up the Atari and play Missile Command, Tanks, or Decathalon.
