Hahaha uh. Yes. Post your cute pets, post them a lot. Keep posting them. I'll start: Here's Rain, my lovely old lady. She's about to turn 17, so she's quite aged! She has lived such a great life, though. I've had her since she was two months old (September 2005) and I love keeping her comfy as she ages and watching her sleep cutely (which is most of what she does these days).  And these are my pup sisters, they just turned a year old a few days ago. I rescued them last year, they were almost too young to be away from the mother but the person whose property they came from was set to kill them. So we took them all (there were 9) re-homed almost all, and I kept these two! I was not planning on two... but it just happened this way and I couldn't be happier, they are best buddies.  |

Oh my goodness, CUTE! This is Beetle (black, 2.5 years old) and Spriggan (colorpoint/Siamese, 1 year old), our sweet kitties who adore each other. We adopted Beetle in January of 2021 from a shelter (she reached out her paw from the bars of her kennel and GRABBED MY HAND), then a couple of months later we adopted Spriggan off Craigslist when he was only 7.5 weeks old. Beetle basically raised him and they're inseparable. ![]()  They have a very "Pinky and the Brain" dynamic where Beetle is clever & efficient while Spriggan is a complete clown, but they're both incredibly affectionate with us. We're all totally obsessed with them obviously!  |

How does your older dog feel about the pups, Ray? They look precious ... i bet they don't get into ANY trouble at all.... XD Gonna have to 3 part it for my crew Spike! He is 8 (or 9? can't remember), and he is my grooming competition buddy. He LOVES agility as well and has been active in practices and classes for the last 6 years. Blue moyen poodle. |

This big guy is RocketShip, he's a rough coated collie that was part of a seizure of 80 dogs taken from a hoarding case. I just happened to be volunteering at the shelter clinic when it happened so ended up fostering 4 puppies, and he was one of them. He has been training in Rally-Obedience for about two years but we're taking a break for fundamentals at the moment. |

Sparkle Bark just turned a year old! She is a standard cream poodle and we are starting her training to be a grooming competition dog. I actually didn't want 3 dogs, but Spike is almost at double digits and the second he doesn't want to do grooming competitions anymore he gets to stop, so Sparkle Bark is training to take the torch  Also, FizzlePop! She's a trash cat , and we love her, she came to me as a "feral" kitten. But she's aces now, great with the dogs, comes when called, eats garbage. everything an off brand cat should be. |

Oh hell yes! Everyone has such great pets ;;
Here's my cat Benvolio. About two years ago he was abandoned on my friend's mom's front lawn. I had just lost my very beloved senior cat to a chronic illness/old age and was not going to adopt him but I did agree to go visit and things lead to things and here we are. He is the most energetic cat I have ever met but a complete sweetheart if you can forgive him pushing your stuff off of any surface he can reach. I am very glad I decided to keep him.  The first day after coming home with me. The vet estimated he was around 3-4 weeks old. Maybe two or three months old? I think he looks like Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service in this picture.
And here he is now <3   |

I love the story of Beetle and Spriggan, kinda reminds me of my pups. And they're so pretty, too.
The spike with rainbow wings is beautiful, hehe. He sounds like an awesome, fun dog. And the other two sound like a handful. Three dogs is borderline too much in my own experience, hahaha. But I love theeemmm....
kitten Benvolio is killing me, hahah. and his white chest spot is adorable.
I love how many of these animals were rescued and having a great life, now. :>

How does your older dog feel about the pups, Ray? They look precious ... i bet they don't get into ANY trouble at all.... XD At first Rain was kinda like, uuhhh no. I mean, she mostly didn't care at all, but if the pups tried to play with her she schooled them with an adorable toothless snarl, haha. The pups learned fast to leave her alone and now they do, it is a peaceful coexistence. Rain does what she likes, which is eating and chilling in her soft bed. The pups do what they like, which is wrestling, lots of westling. and occasional shoe eating, haha. SOMETIMES I even catch Rain and the puppies cuddling, it's very rare though. It has been a tough road since Cassidy (the beige pup) had a lot of health issues as a young puppy and went through a period of paralysis. But I think I've worked out most of the kinks and life is pretty good with three dogs, if not a little hectic at times hahaha. |

Right now I only have two very floofy Maine Coon dilute calico cats. "Minnie" Minverva and "Prudie" Prudentia. Here's Minnie.  And Prudie:  We got them when our first cat (Jupiter) had died and our remaining cat (Juno) was clearly unhappy on her own. We ended up picking the Coonies instead of shelter cats back then because we were hoping they'd get along better with a crotchety, grieving, elderly moggie. And things worked out really well. Alas, it's been six years now since we lost Juno, too, and the Coonies have turned eleven this year... Time flies. But they are doing fine (mostly; poor Minnie has some health issues). *knocks on wood* Here's hoping for many more good years to come! |
