Cats Vs Dogs (Share your pet pics)

My oldest furr babie is Zoeena our cat, she is 11. She had been in our family since she was 5 weeks old. And our youngest is Daisey Mae. She is 8 year old Boxer but we rescued her 2 years ago. She had been abandoned through tragedy before coming to live with us.

Love of my life!! Muffy...

These are my two children, loves of my life, Coco and Pepper.

I adopted Coco from a shelter, and found Pepper at an adoption clinic in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico as a kitten. If I didn't take him, he would have gone back to the pound and would have been put down :-(.

Coco is a crazy calico, and I didn't know anything about their personality traits before I brought her home, haha. She is a DIVA and the center of attention at all times (in her mind :-)).

Pepper is the sweetest little angel. I developed a very strong bond with him when I rescued him, and I couldn't imagine our household without him.

I'm having my surgery June 9th and will be staying with my sister for a week. The hardest thing is going to be being away from them :-(

This is Leo, he is my daughter's Cavalier King Charles. We adopted him from a woman that was dying of Breast Cancer, and could not take him to the hospice home.

This is Kammi and Louie, the little guy has been in our lives and hearts for about 6 years now, and I love him with all my heart. The bigger girl is my hubby's little lady. She has had a long life, in just 4 short years. I am also adding a picture of her the day she was picked up off the street. She was still nursing a puppy in the condition she was in, my grand puppy Winston turned out to be a wonderful, goofy big mixed breed boy, that we still visit. She has come a long way don't you think?

This is what I come home to, MY pillow that has been dragged from my bed to the couch, so Princess Kammi can be more comfy. I have bought her the same pillow, I have tried giving her my old one and taking the new one, but she still takes mine, not hubby's or the kid's pillow, only mine.

This is the day Kammi officially became ours. It was the best day.

Louie sunning himself. He LOVES living in Florida, there is always grass to roll in, and since it rains often, he gets to roll in wet grass, yay for him, not so much for me.

This is JubJub, he is a male sugar glider, we also have a female but she is a total snot, and doesn't care for her picture being taken.

Last but not least, our red footed tortoises. We have 2, the larger one is strawberry (they have spots that look like strawberry seeds on their legs) and the little guy is Squirt. I wasn't sure about having them, they live like 30-50 years, and eat a special diet, but now I LOVE them. They are in a large reptile tank on my Breakfast bar, we never used it anyway, and they come out and watch me cook, or do dishes. They know when it is time to be fed, and will tap their shells on the tank if I'm late getting to them. They also LOVE a bath, and I soak them in a small hospital tub (like the ones they use for sponge baths etc) and they are just too cute in the Water. It's really amazing to watch them grow and everyone loves watching them eat. They take such massive bites for something so small. And honestly the cutest thing to ever happen is to see a tiny little tortoise yawn. I don't know why it's so cute, but it is.

That's my little zoo. It's crowded, and feeding time takes forever, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

My kids and I just adopted Ozzy two days ago!

He's 2 months old and was in a kill shelter in Delaware.

Alex, there is no greater love then the love of a rescue. Congrats on the new pup, may he bring your family many happy years.

@@LeighAnneF that is so awesome of you to foster. I did try that myself which is how I ended up with 5 more cats, I just didn't know how to give any of them up. I am not a very good foster Mom I want to keep them all. lol

[Ginger Snaps 1,323]

@piercedqt78 I think you win the prize for the most diverse zoo! lol...

So sweet how great your rescue is doing (Kammi?). Rescued pups are the greatest!

Here's the love of my life, my protector, my best friend, my Precious!!!! My hubby and I rescued her from our local ASPCA just days before she was scheduled to be put down. She is the joy of my life and I love her. She's "My Baby Girl" and I would not trade her for anything in the world!!!

While I do have both a dog and a cat, most of my animals are a bit more cold-blooded. In addition to the dog and cat (and chinchillas), I have 10 cornsnakes, two boas, two geckos and a bearded dragon. Although in fairness, one of the geckos and the beardie belong to my daughter (but she's 10, so I help a bit with them)

Pictured are Maya (dog), Boo (cat), Cupid (hypo Honduran boa), and Toothless (pastel bearded dragon)

I guess working with a rescue and having animals in and out as fosters, temps, and just simply not being able to say no to any animal tends to build up quite a collection of fur babies, shell babies, and of course scaled babies when needed. My Kammi had to have an eye removed, and they drained the Fluid out of the eye they removed, and then injected it into her remaining eye to try to save it. She is known in our area as the miracle dog, all the local vets know her. And we take her to all the local pet adoption events, to show that even the roughest looking babies can look like a show dog with love and good vet care.
