Charles

I don't have any pets of my own, I have three kids. But we do have other peoples pets come over to visit, I'll see if I can come up with something.

Excellent Gary, lets get it rolling! Even a favorite animal picture!

Can you tell why we call her "Bowtie"?

This is my husband's pet toad "Pee-body". We call this "Pee-body in the rose petals. We actually have other pets, but for some reason my husband loves this picture!

AUG

2007

Bowtie is beautiful!

Pee-body (a little hard to see) reminds me of my younger days, I loved frogs and turtles!

lovers

LOVERS!

I guess we do not have a lot of pet lovers on AR... :-(

OK, since no one else is writing, I'm sending another of Bowtie, only more recent...taken this morning while I was posting comments on AR.

I guess she hasn't changed much, huh?

My wife and kids just love bowtie. I did not notice the bowtie, but my wife spotted it from across the room!

Your friends in Virginia think Bowtie is beautiful!!!

This is our diving Jack Russell, Sparky. She loves to spend her summer days retrieving toys from the bottom of the pool.

Check out her video on Youtube.

Christopher, Salem and Roxy. Chris and Salem are brothers and Roxy is their mama. The picture of Roxy was taken when she was pregnant with the boys.

OK, I have to share these with my wife she is the cat lover! stay tuned and I will find a photo of our 2 cats.

Ok, here is Rocky and Buddy, my family is crazy for both and Buddy (on the right) is a little stinker!

Anymore pet lovers out there in the Rain?

Great Topic! Lots of fun!

We offer a pet of the month on our web site resource page. Please visit it at http://www.apella.org - resource page. We have asked our vendors and real estate sales professionals in the network to supply pic's for the site.

The idea came about a few years ago when one of my trainees wife who would ask what animals he may have seen that day while inspecting homes. He started to take pic's of the animals (most of which are ham's) and would e-mail them to his wife, she would then print them off and post them in her special needs class that she was a teacher for in the school system in Michigan so that her students could enjoy them. From this came our Apella's Pet of the Month.

Should more like to partake please feel free.

Thanks for the post - was a total blast!

Very cool Shane, i will take a look at it!

All great posts, but I like Maggie the best!

LOVE this post! This is my little dog named Peanut... she's a little 4 lb. Chihuahua

my nephew with Kimba

This is my favorite picture. This is my 2 yr nephew kissing my doberman Kimba. If you look closely at my nephews chin you can see Kimba is giving him a "wet one". Sorry the quality isn't too good. Its a picture of a picture.

These pictures are totally adorable. Would someone please share with me just exactly how, step by step, I can post a picture along with one of my posts or comments ? I am relatively new to this, and would love to learn more. Thank you so much in advance !

Kimba is one big puppy and what a cute nephew you have!

Rebecca, Are you a rider?

dog photo

This is my sweetheart, Jazmyn. She looks like an old lady here. She turned 13 this year...a longer than average life for a Boxer. I had the heartbreaking experience of having to put her to sleep about 2 months ago. Her body just couldn't keep up with her anymore. We miss her greatly.

Deb, sorry for your loss. glad you had 13 years of joy!

Come on AR animal lovers, there has to be more of you out there?

Daisy

This is my Daisy! She thinks that she is a lap dog. :)

LOL now that is a Lap Dog!!! Thanks Laura great post!

Here's Sara Lee. I enjoyed her furry friendship for 13 fabulous years. She died at Christmas and I miss her terribly. Her spirit is always with me.

Sara Lee

Sara Lee was a beautiful English Springer Spaniel, and like her name implied, the sweetest dog you'd ever meet.

Thanks for letting us all post our favorite pets.

AUG

2007

Nicki, she was adorable and you can see the sweetness!

My Dog "Diego"... He will be 2 in December. He is a Royal Standard Poodle and weighs about 75 pounds. Any other Poodle lovers out there??

Hi I'm Reece. I'm Pimms assistant (above) at the Pet Realty Network. This picture is from is my first day home, after my very first bath. I'm 67 lbs now, and 1 year old, but my mom thinks this baby picture of me is really cute.

Rhona - Pimms looks like a loving dog!

Molly - what a cutie Reece is, now we are seeing some great pets!

Dutch Josie

This is our two pets Dutch and Josie , they are so spoiled but we wouldnt have it any other way.

Vicki - Wow 2 pets for the price of one! Spoiling our pets (and our kids) is OK in my book! :-)

Charles, Yes, Max is a Jack Russell, lots of energy! Except when he's sound asleep!!! Ha! Love all of the other pets. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who spoils my pets and kids rotten!

He suffered from a seizure disorder and if finally became uncontrollable. We miss him so much and so does his best friend Fizzbo. Despite his illness Wrigley was a beautiful, noble, big black dog and a consummate gentleman to all that he met.

Mark and Laura - nice looking puppies, sorry about Wrigley.

Charlie,

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Debbie - Charlie is toooo cute!!!

SEP

2007

Hello fellow pet lovers! I am new to Active Rain. Allow me to introduce my Canine Family!!! I have three dogs. Buddy, Jade and Tundra. Buddy is a rescue Siberian Husky/Cattle dog mix. Jade and Tundra are both white Siberian Huskies. Jade was named for her green eyes. I named her too soon. As she grew up, her eyes turned amber. Tundra on the other hand, had blue eyes that are turning GREEN...oh well! Tundra is only 4.5 months old and Jade has taken on the responsibility of being her surrogate mother. Buddy is getting on in years. I rescued him from a shelter when he was three and he is now nearly 10 years old. Still full of energy though- he is chasing after the puppy that has disrupted his happy couch-potato existence. Tundra at 4 months is the first photo, Buddy is in the middle and Jade in the last picture. jpeg jpeg jpeg

WOW, 3 fine looking dogs!looks like they could pull a sled!

SEP

2007

This cat is in every basket possible! One of three inside, one outside, 1 cocker and one king poodle (toy, just thinks he's a rotweiller)

Victoria!!!! look at those eyes!!!

she bosses us around with those eyes daily! Little brat is an escape artist, declawed and sneaks out every chance she gets!

Mr. Bonkers, watcher of the work!

Sometimes the cats take over! Daddy, are you ok..did the cats do this to you?

Victoria - are you a 2 cat family like we are?

Mr. Bonkers looks like he is the Boss!

What a cool post Charles! Here's our dog Charlie doing what he does best - Sleep!

Waiting for his daddy to come home from school...Mr. Biggles is totally attached to his boy, and is lost every time he leaves home! Poor thing! Buttons is about 4 years old, was the runt of the litter, and almost died the first few days we had him..He and my son bonded the minute they laid eyes on each other, and have been inseparable ever since!

Gaylen - looks like Charlie is worn-out! did you just brush him???

Victoria - Mr. Biggles is tooooo funny!!!

Thanks Charles, I have added you as an associate, we cat people need to stick together! We actually have three inside cats, 1 that moved in under our deck and two dog masters! Each has their own remarkeable character..and take turns letting us know who is boss! Each animal except the deck monstor and our largest 20 lb gargantuan are rescued from various rotten circumstances. Our cocker was thrown out of a moving van on the highway. One of my customers knows I am a softie, and brought her to us 8 years ago...She was a mental mess, and is still a neurotic jelly of a dog! My daughter adores her! Biggles is a brat. He was sitting in a kennel on a street with some other pups in front of our groomers..obvious puppy mill..Wyatt saw him and melted over all 3 lbs of him...Several hundred dollars later he quit having seizures, and started giving them to me! The two most dominant cats were found under the car tires when tiny..together, tenacious and nasty about 11 years ago. They knew instinctively if we saved them we would be easily dominated, and so it goes, 11 years later they only need to remind us with the occasional puke under the foot to give them more attention! They sure make the days easier, all the furry messes! Can't imagine life without them!

Victoria - Sounds like a wild time at your home....

We have 2 kids, 2 cats and 2 dogs and it feels like "McDonald's Farm" pun intended!

SEP

2007

I have so many pets and so little space to post! We currently have 3 days, 2 parrots, one sulca tortoise and a salt water fish tank with crabs, star fish, tangs, little nemo fish and a few others But here is our latest rescue - Jake. One of my clients called me and told me that this dog was swimming in the public pool and would not let the adult get their kids (he was protecting them). The swim teachers called the police and my husband assigned himself to the call and took him in. We could not take him to the pound so we brought him home. We ran ads in the paper and put up posters and no one claimed him. So now he is one spoiled pup who is not allowed on the couch (as you can tell he does not agree much with that rule)

Donna - Spoiled and worth it by your story!

SEP

2007

Donna - your dog reminds me of my friends new rescue - Ella. Beautiful Shepherd!

Charles, Well, I know that Jade and Tundra are sled pullers. The Dam of Jade's litter is the lead dog of a sled team that runs short races in upstate NY. Tundra is from the same line. Buddy, being part Cattle dog, COULD pull a sled - he certainly is strong enough - but his desire to herd everything into a small circle might make sledding a problem.

Ruthmarie, my kids would love to be pulled in a sled in circles!!!

I have 1 horse, 1 cat and a dog. Love my thoroughbred, Eddie. He is quite a character. I'll have to write a post about him. Everyone loves him. Brigita

Hello and here is a picture of my son's dog, Griffey. Isn't he too adorable? Griffey - Pensacola Florida Real Estate

SEP

2007

BRIGITA - Post a picture!

DIANNE - Great looking reindeer!!!

OK, here is my poodle, Beau Brady, (Yes from Days of our Lives) and Chewy, my Yorkie.

Karen, Cute and Cute.... Chewy looks very well groomed!

Thanks, Charles. He's a doll.

SEP

2007

Here is my cute cuddly crazy doxie Boner.

MARIE - He is way to cute!!! Thanks for sharing him with us! My wife loves to see all these pets!

Charles, Unfortunately, sometimes dogs have a way of knowing they are cute. Boner is no exception. He is such a character and like a little kid, really gets into some interesting scrapes!

SEP

Here's my little furbaby Snuffles!

DEE - Snuffles is adorable!

OUR BABY BRIT, SHE IS A BRITTANY SPANIEL THIS WAS HER FIRST SNOW HERE IN COLORADO AND WE HAD JUST MOVED INTO A TEMPORARY EXTENDED STAY HOTEL... SHE WAS STANDING AND WATCHING US OUTSIDE PLAY IN THE SNOW, THEN SHE HAD HER TURN AT IT AND LOVED IT!!

CINDY and JAMES - That is a fine dog!

Here is one of my favorite pictures of my Entlebucher Mountain Dog when she was a puppy. My teenager had a fun time with photoshop with it and thinks she looks like Dumbo flying with her ears flopping around as she runs.

I love your Brit picture! Framed so cute...We were at the annual Kennel Club show here this summer, and met one for the first time. Have to admit, the intelligence and beauty of this breed has climbed to one of the top ten in my list of doggy wants...So many dogs, so little time!

OCT

CHARITY - what a doll!!!

2007

Charles...you are a bloging genius! Many people here already know my personal paper shredder but I have to include him in your post, so here he is sleeping after a full hour of happy paper play...never more that 12" from me. I also have two dogs who live outside and never, never, ever cross the threshold into the house. (pictured with my granddaughter)

buddy Haley and dogs

SHERON - Blogging "Genius"? you are way, way too kind! lol

you sure have a house full of cute dogs! any cats???

Here is a picture of our little baby "Brutus". Our sweet and precious Neo. Brutus is now pushing 200 pounds and often goes with me on showings when I don't know the buyers.

I need to take new photos but I am terrible about doing those things.

Charles...there isn't a living creature that dares cross over or under the fence. Haven't seen a cat in 4 years and chasing cottontail rabbits are a hobby of theirs. I did have 3 horses until earlier this year...the last one was Carrie. She is a rodeo horse...very talented but went to waste grazing all day in the yard and the other two were too much to handle so am horseless right now...(and flyless too :))

Carrie

JESSICA - Brutus looks intimidating!

SHERON - Carrie would love Virginia!!! Horse County ya know!

Wow, I love all of these animal pictures!

We have 2 cats...I can't get them to be still long enough to take a picture. Also 2 dogs, my babies......

Einstein -- he's 10 yrs old in people years. He is a german shepard, keeshound mix.

This is my sons puppy....Baby. She is a pit bull, lab mix..and full of energy!

Debbie where did you get The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. My husband wants one so badly! I even talked to some friends in the U.K. about bringing one over. lol

OCT

2007

Charles:

People tend to think that but he really is a gentle giant (Unless you come very quick and/or aggressively at me). People also tend to think he is a "big dumb dog". Not the case at all. He is extremely quick in both speed and intelligence.

The only bad thing is that when I buy my kids food at a drive-thru....nobody will stick their hands out the little window thing to give me the food. =]

JESSICA - Good to have a friend that protects as well!

JACQUELINE - Einstein and baby looks like great additions to your family!

Cosmo Leprechaun Cosmo dress up

Cosmo loves to dress up! We have a horse, 2 parrots and 7 fur kids in our household; two Boston Terriers and five Brussels Griffons.

No more pets to post????

Here is a sweet picture Charles to help fill in the gap...it is not my dog or my child...just a picture sent through the channels. I love it.

praying dog

Good Morning Charles,

Here's a picture of our newest addition to the family. "Little" Lilly has a great personality and is a bundle of fun. Oh, my daughter thought it would be cute to put her in a tu-tu, pictured below.

Charles- Santa brought me Izzy, a seven month old shelter kitty! Bear, Abby and Little adjusted nicely!

Izzy

Hogan Jersey First Bath

Here are pictures of my Mastiff, Hogan. At the time these were taken he was only about 6 months old. He is now two and weighs about 140 +/- pounds. Here he is just a lightweight of about 70-80..... He is in his Penn State jersey getting ready for pre-game tailgate and in the other it's his first bath! I'll have to post other pictures of him chasing the sprinkler........

Leela Bean Bag Leela Head

This is my little Leela. She is almost one year old and is a whoppin' 7 pounds! She won't grow much larger. The curse of the runt... BUT she is so cute!

sprinkler 1 sprinkler 2

Here is Hogan again chasing the sprinkler - we call it the Canine Waterpik! He has the cleanest teeth in the neighborhood!

To the right: This is my Downtown Hound. Mad and growling because he hates to have his picture taken. He thinks he is king of the world. Gator

Above is Gator, who is Dowtown Hounds pet Plecostomus Fish. He was the length of my little finger, when purchased and now is 7+ inches. Thanks, Charles, for making all of us smile today!

OK, now I feel like I've slighted another member of my family:

fishy fishy

This is Red Fish. The name may sound lame, but he was named after a character in literature! That's right...Red Fish, Blue Fish.

Okay...here as BLR Guy said, is our CEO (Cat Executive Officer) at Halloween...Trying on the Halloween Rug as his possible costume

AND here he is protecting his Pumpkin Basket waiting for treats...

JAN

2008

SHERON - Thank you for revamping this post!!!

MELISSA - "Little" is just a doll!!! Now I gotta guess he will not be little for very long?

Where are all the active rain pet lovers?

Here is Buddy with his eyes closed!

Here are my sweet pets. Merlot at top with me. She is my first dog. I rescued her last year. Capone was rescued a few months ago. They are both American Pit Bull Terriers. They once had bad owners and a not so good life. Now they attend obedience training and are showered with love and attention. They are my hiking buddies and friends for life. They give back so much love when they are treated they way they should be. Loved everyone's pet posts.

This is COCOA PEBBLES a Shitzu from Mt. Juliet, TN

It was windy and she was letting her fur blow in the wind!!

FEB

2008

Buddy - we found him as a stray about 6 years ago. He was running the streets eating out of garbage cans. He's now 90 pounds and spoiled rotten.

He likes to nap on our bed, but usually doesn't get caught at it!

Then he tries to intimidate the cat at meal time...

Then there is Tinka (allegedly Japanese for beautiful)

She likes to drink from the faucet in the bathroom sink - makes my husband crazy! LOL

Christina those are some fine looking dogs! thanks for sharing!

STACY - Cocoa is very cute!!

CAROL - Love that your cat can not help but drink out of the sink, we have one too!

KATHLEEN - Little??? Beautiful horses!!!

FEB

My little boy, Toby. Poor fella was born with pancreatic insufficiency and is a little too active to keep any weight on him. He's a huggin fool!

And this is my daughter's angel, Princess Sophia Marie. She owns this chair, of course and if she's not in your lap, that's where you'll find her.

My daughter has never met a stray she didn't call her own! She named this one "Sugars".

Pets are great, aren't they!

LISSA - Now those are some cute pets!!! Thanks for posting your pets!

FEB

2008

This is one of my favorite photos- taken about 4 years ago. The smaller dog is Moonbeam- she had just been diagnosed with Leukemia, and died about 8 months later. The big boy is Gus- the goofiest dog you have ever met. Gus has epilepsy, and is on tons of meds for his seizures, but doesn't have too many any more. Seeing a 120 pound dog have a grand mal seizure is pretty freaky!! We got both of the dogs "'used" from firend of ours that for various reasons were not able to keep them.

Well, not always gentle, not that he means to be anything else! He is just so darn big! And he is a leaner- when he likes someone he leans on them, with all 120 pounds. He Just about knocks over my 80 year old mother in law! But he know she always gives him a cookies, so he LOVES her!!

So many precious pumpkins in this thread! Here is the love of my life, Mr. Blix. He is a black lab/pitbull mix and absolutely the most loving, faithful, smart and wonderful companion I could ever ask for.

My baby doggie!

I love my dog!

In the first photo I caught him in "mid-lick" on some type of chicken basted bone or some such. He took that thing out in about 3 days!

In the second photo he is proudly displaying his bone and bandana but also adorning his favorite raggedy rope toy (he loves to play tug-o-war!)

TIGER LOOKS TOUGH!!!!

Here is one of 4 pets- handiest picture to grab at the moment for the wonderful thread.

Halo is her name (after the XBox game, NOT becaue she is an angel :-)- part who knows what, 165 lb. She is taking a dip in the famous Soap Lake healing waters. The suds form on the shore on windy days because of the high mineral content. More info about the lake can be found here.

Here are my fur babies. They are all SPECIAL to me.

This is Chaos Black Magic Isis: She loves to play ball and Agility. She is quite spoiled.

Here is Baby Doll, she is one of Isis's babies. When she was 2 years old they told me she would not survive because of a ring anomly she had. She was within hours of being put down and then a miracle happened.

This is MeChan - She is my Foster Shepherd that I rescued.

This is Little Man, My Special Needs Puppy :

Do I love shepherds - yes I do. They are all very special. And if you could live off love they all would live forever.

Elizabeth- Gotta love those Shepherds. They are all beautiful. Long ago I trained Shepherds while in the Army. Amazing animals.

Please tell Little Mans special needs story. I have a box of kleenex nearby.

Ok I will do just that. But, I hope you were sincere when asking.

I took over Little Man when he was 2 years old. His owner stated that he couldn't keep food down and was vomiting all the time and not putting on any weight. He also stated to me that just a few weeks prior to me getting him he had stopped barking.

I made an appointment with the University of Missouri Columbia Veterinary Hospital to have him examined. Within 1 hour of him being there they had discoverd that Little Man had Megaesophagus, Bilateral Laryngeal Paralysis, and a Vascular Ring Anomaly with a persistent right aortic arch. He weighed only 52 lbs.

Little Man spent close to 4 weeks there and came home with a peg-tube (feeding tube) in place. This was in November of 2007.

I was told the surgery could be done to release the bands that were constricting the esophagus, but we still had to be concerned with the problem of keeping the airway opened. As far as the Laryngeal Paralysis - I'm afraid that Little Man will never be able to bark again.

After many challenges with the feeding tube we have now put on enough weight to proceed with the surgery. He nows weighs 74.5 lbs.

So, in May of 2008 we will be under going surgery. The decision is whether to release the bands that contrict the esophagus first or tie back one of the flaps so that the airway remains opened. Were looking at a possible trache being put in for a short time due to the swelling in the throat that may occur.

Each surgery will be done at different times. We are just going to have to re-evaluate the airway to make that decision.

Little Man may not make it through the surgery, but I pray that he will. He has a big heart and a lot of love to give. And what the heck - it is only money - you can't take it with you, so why not do something SPECIAL for this little guy. He deserves a chance in life. He is an indoor dog at this point due to the feeding tube. If we are successful then we can remove the feeding tube and he will not have to be under so much supervision. He'll then be able to play some. His stamina will never be that of a normal dog, but he deserves a chance and I will see that he gets it.

Robin - Those are some fine pets and it is obvious you love them!

Elizabeth - That is a sad story and we wish you and "Little Man: all the best!

Donna - Jake is gorgeous. I bet he stoled your heart right away. He is a keeper!

Charles - Maggie is so beautiful. I bet she runs the show at your house. Sounds like your family loves animals as much as mine do. My husband came home the other day with a chocalate lab - once I get his picture I will post it with his story.

Rhona - Pimms is just to much. That is so funny.

Elizabeth, no my kids steal the show, but that is another story!

Here's My Furry Friend Be Gee The Labradoodle... I loved looking at all of the photos.

Well I should just be a farm........this is a picture of the whole crew. The kitties are Sassy, Cassie, and Cali, and the Puggle is Lucy Mae. This picture was taken about a year ago, and Lucy Mae might have been 6-8 months old.

Animals

I have been lucky enough to have three great dogs in my life.

This is my female maltese. She is a little over one year. She is always with me...her name is Millie.

This was Mia, another female maltese. She was a liver shunt dog and passed away just after her first birthday...

And this was Maggie, my first dog ever. There will never be a dog like Maggie. They all hold a special place in my heart, but Maggie holds a very special place. She was 14 years old when she passed...

TRICIA - With a name line McDonald, we always think we need a farm too! Nice group of pets!!!

MONIQUE - sorry to hear about Mia, but those are some fine dogs!

Monique - I know what you mean about having that one SPECIAL pet that just stays in your heart forever. The bond is what makes it special. I'm so sorry to hear about Maggie. She was a beautiful girl. When I was single my home had got broke into and after that I decided that it was time for another dog. I ended up getting a personal protection dog and we did almost everything together. Having him with me I never feared anything. It is amazing the bond you can develope with an animal. And the love and protection they can give you back.

His name was Justice. And 4 months after he had turned 7 years old his spleen ruptured and his stomach filled with blood. I was told I could rush him to Kansas City to Emergency Vets but they didnt think he would be able to make the trip. I was faced with a decision that I wasn't ready to make. Thank goodness for a best friend.

Justice went to doggy heaven that evening, but not without one last time to protect his owner.

I had him in back of the blazer and the vet was going to come out and do what needed to be done to keep the stress off of him from being inside. I was in the back holding his head when the vet approached and even though Justice couldn't even get himself up into the vehicle to go to the vets he promptly made one last attempt to lunge to protect me. I never had a dog with so much love and devotion as he had. He totally forgot about his hurting to protect me from mine.

It has been 4 years now and it still hurts to know he was taken so suddenly. Here is our last picture together.

Your forever in my heart .. Justeebear
