Rather than necromance September's pet thread, I thought we could use another thread in which to share pictures of our pets. Winter's the most depressing time of year, and that hump between Christmas and Valentine's day is a pretty soul-sucking time for a lotta folks. But the primary reason I started this thread is, well... I GOT A PUPPY!

Meet Widget. Short for Rocket Widget. You know, those little nitrogen-filled balls you find in cans of Guinness. She's half Rat Terrier, half what I suspect to be Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Some sort of bulldog, anyway. She's just shy of 8 weeks old and smells like poop. I'm itching to give her a bath, but she just got spayed a couple days ago so I have to wait a while longer. I've been bugging my husband for a dog for about 3 years, and finally all the pieces fell into place.

So now, your turn. Post your pets. Old pets, new pets, childhood pets! Bring em on.

Geez, she's so sweet! *awwws* The first pic is just uber-adorable.

I'm currently petless. A pic of my doxie mutt was in the old pet thread. I don't feel like getting a new dog soon.tho'. Maybe something more reptilian - but no, not a turtle. Maybe a snake. :roll:

Awww.... isn't she adorable!

I'm sure you all know Jay, or you have at least heard of him. His real name is J.J. Phoenix (the Phoenix was added by my aunt, because she likes River Phoenix. She wanted to call him J.J. Phoenix Templar, but she somehow decided against that... I still wonder, why she got to name the dog). Anyways, he's a mixture of a maltese (his mom) and... well... uhm... a kangaroo? He jumps around a lot and he's usually in places where he shouldn't be (in my T-Shirt drawer for example). He also likes eating at the table ever since he found out that he can get his head into my plate.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/Anarky/Jay/J.jpg
This one was taken in the first days we had him and he was still pretty high (he had various shots that day). I had to take him to my grandma's and there he sometimes fell asleep while walking.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/Anarky/Jay/J12.jpg
Here he is, a little taller and there seems to be something pretty interesting going on behind the camera.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/Anarky/Jay/J11.jpg
Jay likes balls. Note his big paws. They're too big for any race his size. he still falls over them sometimes.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/Anarky/Jay/JJ03.jpg
That's an old one as well, chewing my brother's hand.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/Anarky/Jay/JJ19.jpg
Dirty, scruffed and dirty... that's him.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/Anarky/JJ02.jpg
Another stoned pic.

I hope you liked the pictures, Jay was quite excited when I told him that he's going to be an internet-model and he's now harassing my brother.

Yeah, a Pit Bull Terrier is genetically the same thing as a Staffordshire, so at this point it could be either one. Staffies are a little smaller though and their temperment is a less aggressive due to the fact that they were bred from a show dog strain of Pit Bull. Either way, they're both intelligent, loyal and devoted breeds.

EDIT: Also, did you have to quote the entire post?

This is a picture of my Mimi San. Her name is Aimee or Amilia but we all call her Mimi San or Bonzo. We only call her Aimee or Amilia when she's bad. :lol: She thinks she's a dog tho cuz she loves dog food, Nanna Cha (a friend of mine's pitt bull), and she fetches (mostly rolled up balls of paper).

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/Dierna/Mimi.jpg

I got Mimi 2 (3 in Sept! ) years ago when she was barely 3 weeks old. A friend of mine's mom had found Mimi and her sisters very week in her garage abandoned by their mother. She was bottle fed for a while before eating on her own.

Her name is Snoopy, we named her that because we got her the day Charles Chultz(?) died. So it was in honor of him.
I havent been able to see her lately, she lives with my dad because we cant have pets were I'm at right now.
I sure miss that little bugger.

Hobbes is my crazy kitty, who I unfortunately had to leave at home when I went to college. She's going to be 4 soon, but she's still kinda small. We think she's also a bit species-confused, so we refer to her as a CatDogFerret. Nothing beats waking up at 2 in the morning with a cat licking your face lovingly. Except maybe chucking said cat across the room and going back to sleep. :D

Behold! The almighty Smokey! Pissing off a family near you! I've had him for a good 10-12 years now, I can't quite remember, and he still won't die, I know that might be a bit cruel, but he bites everyone he can get his face near, he's a menace! Nothing but trouble ever since 2 weeks after we took him home, he was the normal one on the cage so we took him, then he turned wild.

Hahahaha! Everyone says that when they see Jay for the first time! I love those reactions. :D But you must know that Jay's the biggest dog we ever had, so he's a big dog for our standards. But then again, I like small dogs. They're just as cool as big mutts but make less mess and work, which is a crucial thing here. We all work (okay, I don't at the moment, but that's not the standard here) and the bigger the dog is, the more attention and walkies it needs. And we couldn't give a big dog what it needs.

Besides, if you get the offer "Take him or he'll be drowned", would you go "Nah, I want a bigger dog..."?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that Jay is the most badass dog ever.

So....Without further Adu....I give you Winter Sprite! (we just call her Winter)

That's what I want to know too. His mom's a maltese, that much we know. His dad on the other side... could be anything from a dog to a kangaroo. His face, when he has his hair cut, looks a bit terrier-ish. His tail is more like a Golden Retriever's and his paws (which are way too big) indicate that it must be something big.

Whatever he is, he turned out to be quite adorable and he has a good heart.

I was going to guess terrier or poodle myself.

I've found that many of the dogs that are the cutest and best pets all around are those that you can't tell what they are.

IMO mutts are the best..... "breed" if you will.

...here with Winter.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/BJKROW/winter_angel.jpg

We also had a shelty mix named Samantha. She was my dog since I was 7. We had to put her down about a week before Thanksgiving. She had bad arthritis, deaf, blind... Basically her whole body was just giving it up. But we have some nice memories and some pictures of her during her last days with the other dogs.

This pic here is my Simon. We had to take him to the vet after that pic was taken, he's been a really sick Cat. We almost lost him. He has pretty serious heart problems, and they drained about 16 ounces of lymphatic fluid out of his chest.

I've raised this kitty since he was too young to be away from his mother when I got him. I bottle fed him and everything. Poor little guy is gonna be on two different types of medicine for the rest of his life.

ahhh pet-love. Since i've got a pair of cats, i hope you'll indulge me:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v517/kyabetsu/kitties%20%20Mauw/BerliozEyes2.jpg
My cat Berlioz has lovely eyes.
Too bad he was curled up in pile of 'delicates' fresh from the dryer. The photo has been cropped for the sake of my dignity. His eyes are still lovely though.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v517/kyabetsu/kitties%20%20Mauw/YzmaBW.jpg
Yzma was our foundling kitten.
We found her on the front porch the last day of 2004, scratching to get in. She was someone's christmas kitten, I guess. We put up posters, but no one claimed her. In retrospect, I know why. She's a holy terror. She eats anything she can swallow. We've had to extract rubber bands from her butt a number of times now. My family is much more cautious with our office supplies now.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v517/kyabetsu/kitties%20%20Mauw/berliSTRING2.jpg
Berlioz is a mighty hunter.
He will let no twine go unpunished. Since he's 16 pounds of 'kitty,' that's quite a bit of punishment.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v517/kyabetsu/kitties%20%20Mauw/MeetYzmaSMALL.jpg
Yzma: Destroyer of Worlds.
No really. She's far less efficient than Berlioz is, but if she's not eating it, she's attacking it--or some combination thereof. Toes, plants, shadows, lint, toys, coats, shoes, pens, Aardvarks, Ants, Bears, Boars, Cats, Bats, Dogs, Hogs, Elephants, Antelopes, Pheasants, Ferrets, Giraffes, Gazelles, Stoats, Goats, Shoats, Ostriches, Lions, Jackals, Mustrats, Minks, Dingos, Zebras, Foxes, Boxes, Octopus, Penguins, People, Warthogs, Yaks, Gnus, Newts, Walrus--AND ESPECIALLY RABBITS!! but yes. She's not too bright. The bulk of humanity is safe for now.

That's an awesomely dynamic posr Yzma's in there, Kya. Legs don't bend like that!

Just stopping by to say that Widget has nearly tripled her body weight since the last photos were taken about a month ago. She's an awesome little pup, having learned a whole lot of commands and whatnot. She's absolutely enamored with any dog, human, bug or oatmeal cannister that crosses her path.

Simon really was the sweetest thing ever. He never caused problems, he never broke things, he never clawed the furniture. Alls he wanted was to be by my side at all times. I've never had another pet like him. I still have 5 Cats, 2 here and 3 at my girlfriend's apartment. When he started getting sick about a month ago, I never thought anything like this would happen.

Gah. I'm sorry, Im just such a mess right now.
