A lot of us are proud owners of pets of all sorts, dogs, cats and event those little furry critters some people consider pets..:)

So let's see some pictures and share stories about the things that they do to crack you up..

Here is our 15-month old Fox Red Labrador Chase as a puppy and as he is now with her new 8-week old puppy Yellow Labrador Chloe..

Chase couldn't be more happier to have a full-time playmate in the house and is having a blast. Turns out Chloe is quite a little feisty little girl and is a good compliment to Chase's personality..

It's absolutely true what they say about a tired dog is a good dog..these guys tire themselves out in about 45 mins of play and then nap for hours on end..:)

Bailey is the Dalmatian, Lacie is the Yorkshire Terrier, Onyx is our Bombay, and Scooby is our Bearded Dragon.

The Dalmatian pretty much chills all day and the cat and the yorkie run the house constantly. The dragon is my office pet, and the highlight of his day is the cricket lunch.

This is Sam, our 12 year old lab / dally cross. He has the dalmatian character but mostly labrador looks, and he never stops running around.

Currently he's on patrol in the garden in case any naughty pigeons dare to land on his territory.

The first picture was taken last year at Loch Tay, rescuing a stick (has to be done you know), and the second a couple of years earlier (just rolling for joy).

You can see the difference in photo quality between the iPhone 3GS and the 4S.

I like these kinds of topics, because I love to see pictures of happy animals.

Cheers :)

Hugh

A Lab/Dalmatian mix is interesting, perhaps if he were a yellow lab, he'd have spots too..:) Looks like he's doing what Labs love to do and where they love to do it..

Our Chase can't get enough of the water or snow..he's not a big fan of the rain..:)

He's got white spots on his chest, which is apparently common in this cross, but if you can ignore the black you can see Sam is a long legged muscular typical dally shape.

It takes a good long walk to wear him out even these days, and the only way to get compliance. This is one full on beast, always on the go and constantly needing stimulation.

But ... we wouldn't change him :)

Cheers :)

Craig, she totally didn't destroy all that paper right? :) Also, that's a very large chew bone she's got..would take her months to get anywhere..but looking at the other pictures, perhaps she needs it..;)

Unfortunately, yes she did. That bone would last her about a week then. She's grown since then. Now it would last about 2 days.
I also have baseboards she's destroyed and she even chewed a hole in the sheetrock wall behind the bar. Glad her teething/chewing days are about over. She's almost 2 years old.

Edit: Found one of Scooter. Cant believe I don't have more. He's about 15 years old, surviving his parents and all his littermates. Going blind and deaf, has arthritis but still kicking. Can give Molly a run for her money when he wants to.

This is Daisy. She's a Tabby. She agrees that MacBooks can get warm, but not too hot!

We have three dogs. Our beagle is almost 8 years old. What does he do that cracks me up? His thievery. If the dogs all have treats like a bone or bully stick, he'll eat his in his kennel, but come out every few minutes to see if the others have walked away from theirs, even if briefly. If they have, he will steal it and act innocent when we come looking for it. He's even hidden the stolen one under his belly while eating his own out on the living room. When he was younger, he'd climb our fence and roam the neighborhood. Yes... climb the fence. Like a ladder. We've since re-fenced the yard. He's been one expensive dog!

The next is a lab-hound mix. The hound part is highly likely Walker Coonhound. She's 7. What does she do that cracks us up? When she was 1 year old, she'd clear our fence like it didn't exist. When calling her back over to the fence one time, she jumped up on it, perched there like a cat, then hopped over. Try picturing a 60 pound dog doing that. Yep... you can't. We've since re-fenced the yard. Man was she ticked over that! She also has a lot of anxiety issues. Thunder-phobia is the biggie, but she's also afraid of the dark. When the cicadas were out about 4 years ago (first time for her... they come out once every few years), she hid in her kennel for 2 weeks. But she loves hugs. She gives the best hugs I've ever had.

The last one is what we believe to be a pit bull/American Bulldog mix, or maybe a pit bull/Boxer mix. We don't know. He followed me home one night and we ended up keeping after failing to turn up an owner. When we took him in, the biggest problem we had was that he wanted so badly to be our beagle's best buddy, and our beagle was like "Who the $%@* is this guy?" But they eventually accepted him. So what does he do to crack us up? I could write a book on this. The hounds, being hunters, will often run outside to chase squirrels/cats, with the beagle howling his head off. Petey, being a guardian breed, thinks there's danger and runs out there with them looking to see what the threat is and he'll stop and look around, clearly confused. He tries so hard to fit in with those 2, but he just doesn't get it. A couple years ago, we had sleigh bells up for Christmas hanging on the back door. He quickly realized that bells ringing = door opening, and he started ringing the bells when he wanted to go out. More recently he's started talking. I mean literally trying to form words. In english. Dead serious. It started with "hungry" (and I have a video of one of his attempts) and a couple weeks ago he said "ow" after I did. He's ridiculous. But gawdawful loyal, affectionate, and eager to please. He's proven to be exactly the kind of dog I've always wanted.

Love that first pic ^^.
Love the cat pic too XJ, cats always know the warmest places.
I promise to get my photos up soon.

Edit :)

First up is our Norwegian Forest Cat, Mo, who clearly revels in the snow when we get some, being in his nature I guess...



Next up the elder of our Rabbits, Pearl...



We have 2 Crested Gecko's, Calypso and Kraken (spot the theme for names yet?)

Kraken



A close up the Mrs took with her Nikon Macro



Calypso



And finally the latest additions to the petting zoo, 2 Rabbits, Smokey and Bandit:



Smokey



Bandit



All of our animals are from rescue centres, except the Gecko's. The 2 new Rabbits we have only had 2 weeks, and replace our old (8) Lionhead Rabbit that died, and our Guinea Pig who also died on the same day sadly. He was also old.

I looooove Corgis :D I saw one while hiking up Mt. Washington in NH, he was all the way up almost to the summit! (I'm sure he didn't climb the whole way) It made me realize how much I want one... what a little champ he was :)
