[Namsupak]

You all are making me so jealous with your puppy pics! I want a puppy so bad but DF says we have to wait until our lives settle down a little.

Congratulations on your new addition! Yorkies are so adorable

Oh wow, how beautiful.
We too have just got a new pup. Her name is Hollie, she is a black Cocker Spaniel and she was born on 28th November.
Some of you may remember that our beloved Bertie (our 7 year old golden cocker spaniel ) died on 3rd Feb 06, just 2 weeks before we were to fly off to WDW for our wedding. It was a horrendous time, I lost over a stone in weight, and my dress didn't fit properly, due to the heartbreak.
It was the anniversary this weekend, but we have just got Hollie, who helped to brighten our day. She is just so beautiful and we love her loads.
Here she is:

This is her at about 3 weeks old

This is her at 9 weeks old (attacking poor Mickey, hmm, she may have to go!! )

This was Bertie, aged 7, died 3rd February 2006, RIP pal!!

How sweet!!! They are both adorable!! We got our new cocker spaniel, Riley, in July shortly after losing our other beloved cocker spaniel Bradie. They are GREAT dogs!!!

Congrats on your new puppy!! I love dogs! I wish my three babies were little again!!!

OMG I am totally in love! Yorkies are my fav breed. I have grown up with one and I can't wait until we get married to get our own....All the dogs are just lovely BUT the YORKIES have my heart! LOVELY!

Awww, I just love everyones pics, I am such a dog lover so I had to join in the fun, here are a few pictures of my gorgeous dog Sir Morgan Spice.

Here is one when he was a puppy sleeping:

Another cute one of him waking up after spying me above him:

A picture which encapsulates Morgan:

Here he is today, 5 years old and still as cute as ever, he never did grow into his tongue

 

[JJClemson]

I love seeing pictures of everyone's dogs I only have a couple pictures of my guy as a puppy and they aren't digital, and I don't have a scanner. Here are some of him all grown up. His name is Nati, he's a 4 year old black lab chow mix.

I just love big dogs!! Summer-Caitlin I think yours is so cute too!! DH wont let us have a big dog-- he knows i have to bring my dogs in the house, ya know? Too cold outside for them to live-- and a big dog would take over the place (or so he says). I come from a house where my mom had an a rotweiler inside the house as a pet (which is the best dog ever...).

Big dogs can definitely live in the house! Mine isn't too big though, 55 lbs. You just have to let them know where their place is. I'm the other way... I want a small dog! I fly home a lot and I want a dog who can go on the plane w/ me, but DF won't let me get a little dog

Well, I know it's been a while since I posted last. Still haven't kicked this cold... although it has since morphed into a cough and now into a sore throat... maybe one day I'll feel better. In the meantime, we have 2 dogs, 2 cats and an African Grey parrot that plucks himself to keep us happy... along with our 10 year old daughter and new baby growing in me... I will have to post some pics later since I'm at work now and don't have any on this computer. They are adorable though. The oldest one is my DH's cat, Zoey (the only one I don't get along with). He's a mixed breed and he's old. He is going to be 15 this May and showing his age. Next oldest is my "puppy" Jake. He is going to be 9 years old this summer. He's a mixed breed also - mostly beagle but some basset hound in him. He's tall though. He stands about 20". He's the greatest!! Never growls, bares teeth and the only time he barks is when he sees a cat outside or squirrel or bird or anything that moves.... next is our other dog, Crawford. She is named after the town we got her in. She was the bonus gift when we purchased our land in TN. There was a dog there that had 9 puppies. She was the runt. Andrew fell in love with her. The man who sold us the land said we could take her. They were trying to find homes for all of them anyway. Her father was 100% Spitz and her mom was something like a cattle shepard, so she's actually pretty small and extremely timid. She sheds like there's no tomorrow. If we collected all the hair, we could have made about 3000 yards of carpet by now.... and then there's our bird. His name is Houdini - he got out of his cage the first week we had him. He was a beautiful Congo African Gray Parrot until we moved him without preparing him properly and now he won't let any of his feathers grow back in. It's sad to look at if you've never seen him before, but after a while, it just becomes funny. We are still trying to get him to break the habit of plucking, but it's not easy.... And the newest addition to our family is my Siamese cat. I say mine because he cuddles with me all the time and it was my idea to rescue him. He was a stray at a professor's house and since she already had 4 cats, she couldn't take him in. I told her if she couldn't find his owner, I'd take him. Well, she tried to finding an owner. She looked for 2 months, advertised, the whole nine... but no one responded. So, I went and picked him up. He is the greatest cat ever!! He is playful, loving, sweet and has the worst breath ever!!! Fish breath, yuck!! Good thing he has a cute face.

Diane, my parents have an African Grey too. I guess it's technically my brother's b/c he picked it out when he was 10. Does yours mimic peoples' voices exactly? Their's does and boy is it scary! I'll think my mom is home when she's not When I bring my dog up to NJ, he'll call the dog over in my voice and confuse the poor thing! It's so funny!

HAHAHA!! Jen, no, unfortunately, ours doesn't talk yet. But he's still young. He will be 3 years old in the end of April. Considering their life span, he is still a baby. However, since I am an avid whistler, something I acquired from my father, so is our bird. He whistles a LOT and mimics all kinds of noises. The latest sound is our dog whining and barking. That's funny. He can also whistle the entire theme to the Andy Griffith show. He mimics the sound the phone makes when you push the buttons and he tries to mimic the ring , but because it's so electronic, he has a hard time. It sounds like he's singing under water. Quite funny. We are hoping that we will be able to pay more attention to him and we can get him to stop ripping his feathers out... we'll see. It's going to take a long time, but he's one of our babies and we love him - even if he does look like a chicken that's been plucked....
