My sister and her husband just got a new Siberian Husky. This is Tika.

Pure love!!!! This is exactly how Rocky was when we got him... lol

Awww, he is so cute! We had a dog, Sheba, that was half husky, half golden retriever. One of the best dogs that we ever had! Sadly, she was run over last year.

Well, here is an update on my parents' new dog...

Here she is...the vet thinks she might have some Corgi in her:




She had her puppies last Saturday! 4 boys and a girl! We really lucked out...the vet's office that originally saw her and diagnosed her as 'pregnant' called the animal shelter and said they wanted to foster the dog and her pups! So she is now in the best of care! Two or three of the nurses there want to adopt a puppy too! So my parents are just waiting out the 6-8 weeks that it will take to bring Sophie home (they changed her name--none of us were fond of "Peaches", and she already has learned it!)....so it's taking longer than they'd planned when they originally signed up to adopt a dog, but I know she will be worth the wait!

I may be going to visit the puppies this week, so I'll get pictures of them then!

Well, today was the day! My parents finally got to bring their new dog home! Her puppies are weaned, and all spoken for. Sophie was spayed today, so when I went to see her she was pretty drugged up, LOL, but she's being babied, as you can imagine! I couldn't even believe how little she is now...the picture above showed her late pregnancy weight! She is just a teeny little thing! I took pics, but with my parents' camera----I'll bring my own next time. I'm just so glad that everything worked out, and my parents decided she was worth the wait! She is one lucky girl indeed!

Here is a picture of "Sophie" carrying her new 'puppy'...LOL! My mom thought it was a good idea for her to have something to 'nurture' for awhile, and she absolutely loves this thing!

That is too cute!!!! lol

What a neat pic! She looks like a real sweetie.

That was a good idea!

Oh Looking at all your pets makes me want a Pet to again I Sold all of my Rabbits I Would love a Dog My Sister and her Husband have a Very Good Looking dog i'll have to post a Pic of her

I know what you mean Jacob.....Sophie is so sweet it makes me want another dog! But two is suffiencient, I suppose.

Yes, please post a pic of your sister's dog!

Peaches looks so handsome in that pic above... she knows how to work it for the camera LOL

Rob, that puppy is one of the cutest puppy's I've ever seen!!

Well, some of these aren't really pet pictures, the goat and chickens are more like farm animals. lol. I don't really get very attached to the chickens and goats. I don't have any pictures of the dogs and the other 2 goats, hopefully I can take some tomorrow.


My cat, Tom. (I know, not a creative name for a tomcat, but hey! he likes it.)


Sweetie, my favorite goat.


and the chickens. None of them have names. That's only about half the chickens.

LOL, that she does! She's actually "Sophie" now...my parents changed her name. LOL, none of us are big on 'fruits' for names of dogs. She's so smart she already comes to her new name!

Farmer Girl, those pics are darling!! Thanks for sharing them with us!! (I especially LOVE the goat picture...she looks so inquisitve! ).

Thanks, Amy! I love that pic of Sweetie. Her name is just the way she is. She's a sweetie! lol

I love the picture of Peaches!

Tom has some beautiful markings. I love his mustache.

Sweetie looks like a sweetie. How old are Tom and Sweetie?

Actually, while my parents were in the shelter going through the adoption process, I was outside with the daycare kids (yes, I actually hauled the tribe along! ) and called home to my son Nick to have him look through Petfinder.com, because we all knew we didn't like the name "Peaches". Together we came up with a great list, and my parents chose Sophie. (with a little nudging from Nick & I ). That's a great way to find a name for a pet too! I LOVE Petfinder.com, but I find I get depressed if I go on there too often...it makes me realize the magnitude of just how many homeless animals there are out there. I wish I could adopt more!!

This is my tabby, Cassie. She picked out her own present last year at Christmas.

Heeerrrreeeees......Heidi! She is a terrier/ long hair dashound. Odd mix, but she is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever had. She chases squarriels with passion, yet is SO afraid to jump out of a chair without permission!!
She is two months shy her 4th birthday.

Gin, Cassie and Heidi are just beautiful! They both look so sweet. Are they best buddies?

Best buddies, NO. Although they chase each other at least one morning a week. The oddest thing is they will eat each others food. There is a certain can dogfood that Cassie likes, and Heidi likes Friskies dry catfood. Any other kind and they both will pass.
One of these days Cassie will bark and Heidi will meow!!

That is so funny! At least they don't mind sharing.

Earlier today, I saw Opie trying to stuff all twenty pounds of himself into a little box that looked like it wouldn't even hold his thigh. I laughed and told him "Opie, it won't work. You're just too big". . . . Well, he persisted....because I walked by later, and found this scene:






Look at the expression on his face!! "And she said it couldn't be done"

(He kind of looks like a genie kitty coming out of the "bottle".....I wonder if I can get three wishes if I rub him. )

Too funny! It looks like he's been photoshopped.

That Pic is so FUNNY Savannah

I love it!
