Our Pets

My wonderful cat has just had me in hysterics.

She has been curled up at the side of hubby for ages, then decided to trump. Then casually got up, moved to the other end of the sofa, leaving it behind for hubby to choke on. :sick:

He was complaining like mad, while I just sat here crying with laughter. :roflmao: :roflmao:

I haven't seen my cat in a while and I miss him so. Mom just sent me pictures of him hiding under the bed. Even though it's just a photo I'm so happy to see him<3

Thank you Belle. I took Cocoa to the Vet. to get her "fixed" and they told me that she is severely overweight:eek:. I knew she was a fatty but it wasn't until I saw her shaved stomach did I realize exactly how overweight she was!

OMG! She needs a kitty treadmill and a weight watchers meal plan ASAP. The poor thing. You really can't tell because of all that fur.
 
My two saviors are my two Labs Tina (Christina Joanne) & Katie (Kathryn Renee). Tina is my daddy's girl that comforts me the most. Several years ago I was going through a deep situational depression that took me 6 weeks, counseling & meds to come out of. I was living in a small (900 sq. ft) house after wintering in a 32 ft traveltrailer with temps @ -10 after my second wife asked me to move out of our home. There was a large maple tree in the back yard that had wild grape grown through it and was very overgrown. I had been trimming excess limbs from a larger limb that I had decided to hang myself from. I was pulling on the grape vines attempting to clear them when it gave way and I fell onto the pile of cut limbs breaking several of my ribs. In pain and blackness I went back into the house, Tina never left my side, even in bed. I would sleep 16-18 hrs. a day and only got out of bed in order to care for my girls. It was then that I realized that I depended on them as much as they depended on me & that if something happened to me they would suffer. I may be personalizing too much to think that she (Tina) would "waste away" without me but that gave me a reason to live and push on. Companions are such a godsend in times of despair.

Really impressive photo of Tina and Katie VFF....Love that breed nearly as much as a GSD's :D

They look like they have a loyal and supportive nature about them.

Understand how a companion animal can be a huge help when times are down. They ask so little and give more than we ask.
 
VFF, Katie and Tina are beautiful! What a great picture!! I am so glad you have them. My GSD pup is my lifeline. While he makes me crazy (he is in doggy adolescence), I don't know what I'd do without him. My goal is to train him as my service dog. Even if he doesn't make it to that, he is my best friend and his existence has given me a reason to get up in the morning. I love my little fur monster and I am convinced dogs are better than most people. I trust him more than anyone.
 
he is afraid of everything. He kind of reminds me of me. If dogs could have PTSD, I think he does.

I have a cat that is exactly the same way! She was a wild kitten and she has been afraid of people and other animals ever since we took her in, probably 9 years ago. You rarely see her because she's always hiding under furniture. I'm thinking about taking her to live with me after college so she can be the only pet in the house. I think we'd be able to understand each other unlike no one else!
