Your Fur-Babies 2019

[dionysus]

A'ight, owners of dogs and cats love talking about their dogs and cats especially, to other owners of dogs and cats who will listen and d'aww about their dogs and cats

Think it's been around a year or so since we shared our little fur monsters. So dop your pics of the little bastiches...er, precious pets. (and we all can be thankful the tech isnt there for scratch-n-sniff internet images ) cough*dunover*cough)

This hit my memory feed on FB today - didnt realize my little guy was already 5. Found him out in the snow at a day or 2 old and raised him. Sickly little thing for a long time (he's still wheezy) but a right terror on the wildlife (drags home birds and mice, and once a squirrel, has scrapped a raccoon and fox, and survived a go at a coyote)

I could bore you all for days with the amount of photos I have of my two monsters!

Here they are being very proud of the spider that they killed and put on their bed

This is Dave the Dog. He is 14 now, but still going strong.

He loves to come and watch the racing with us.

Even has his own chair.

He does like a nap though.

He came from a rescue centre, 14 years ago, so may be a bit older, we don't know for sure.

[robby811]

[dionysus]

harsh, sorry for the loss

The collie came from rescue at 18 months old was totally neurotic, tore up my stair carpet god knows how many times, destroyed my front door and shredded a feather duvet that I spent months chasing the feathers round the house. She raided the fridge, put child locks on it and she still got in, never ate any of the food but hid it round the house - understandable as she was abused, had a nail in her head and burnt with cigarettes but she learned to trust me and became my shadow.

The greyhound was thrown out of a moving car, came to me in a sorry state but the most gentlest and forgiving hound I have ever had the grace to meet.

This is Smokey. She is fiercely unintelligent, incredibly friendly and always sat on me.

...and she sticks her tongue out at the camera so not so daft after all

Not quite. She...forgets to put her tongue away. She’s been known to sit like that for ten minutes or so.

She’s not clever.

it's amazing how different my 2 are - he'd eat until he burst at the seams, the other youd be lucky if youd see her eat an entire handful in a day

I hope and pray that the Rainbow Bridge is real, and that all of our beloved animals are there, happy and whole, at play forever in the fields of the Lord.

The real tragedy is that our lives are so long, and theirs are so short. My memories of my beloved cats are fading with time, over the years, but they will live forever in my heart.

I despise people who abuse animals with all my heart. They truly must be souless. I follow the facebook antics of Spectacular Spencer, Justice for Champ, and now The Tails of Gallant, all abused dogs who have been rescued and now lead happy lives full of love. The Justice for Champ FB is also where RDR (Rescue Dogs Rock) post stories of the latest victims of abuse, with updates on their progress. Not all the poor little dogs make it though. Heartrending that such abuse exists.

Now onto The Gabinator. She has been with me 5 years on Jan 15th. Age unknown but believed to have been about 7 when rescued, so now about 12. It is thought she was an indoor cat who escaped and couldn't find her way back home, due to her horror of the great outdoors. She spends most of her time lazing about on the back verandah in the sun, playing with sunbeams. But as for going outside? No, no, no. Those nasty birds might get her - the nasty birds being tiny little noisy miners.

There was a bit of a Mexican standoff going on the other day - she was at the front door and the noisy miners were lined up along the patio rail. I think the conversation went something like this:
The Gabinator: Come inside if you dare.
The Noisy Miners: Come outside if you dare.

Sorry to hear that, can't quite believe how common cancer is in our pets having lost two hounds not that long ago to cancer.

I have even changed my current hounds diet to a raw food organic diet as who know's what goes into the processed dog food.

I am truly sorry to hear that. Time is a healer, but you just have to get through the times until there are more smiles than tears. Our fur babies are so important to us, it hits us hard when they pass.

Why 'bin cat'? Is that where she was found, or did she like to raid bins?

She loved to raid the bins lol, once came home with a whole tuna fish head bloody huge it was. She was well known around here bin men would look out for her.

The fur babies in these pictures are absolutely gorgeous, even Smelly Cat, who looks like an OAP - Old Age Pussycat.

And Dixie - what a sweetheart. But that tongue!!

My 3 boys, all rescues.

John [aka Anubis] came to me with his litter at 8 weeks as a foster dog but one of my other dogs loved him so much I had to adopt him. The pups had been dumped in a ditch. Super intelligent and despite being the youngest, thinks he's in charge of the other 2!
Monty also came to me as a foster after being rescued from a puppy farm at 10 months old, but as it was love at first sight I had to adopt him. He was so frightened of humans he would wee if one went near him; still hates most men and other dogs so is very much a work in progress but managed to pass his bronze kennel club award the end of last year.
Beau was adopted by me at 8 weeks old after being given to the rescue from a 'good' breeder as he had a heart murmur and they didn't want their reputation tarnished. Most obedient dog ever, has welcomed every foster dog with gentle kindness and been such a good role model. [The photo is of him with John's litter] He was diagnosed with end stage liver failure in 2015 and given 6 weeks to live but changed his mind Now 12 years old.

What about Dixie's tongue? She's curious.

Look in the 2nd picture, that tongue looks too big for her mouth

 

[Conor@Trada]

This is the best thread ever!
I just had to join in - so here are some of TradaCasinos own fur babies!

So, first is Rusty, who I'm sure a lot of you already know for running a competition on CM back in October last year.

Next, we have Honey. Honey likes to come into the office from time to time and sleep under everyones desks!

Then we have Coco. Definitely the quietest of the bunch!

And finally, Rambo & Ellie. Sadly, we lost Ellie (the brown G.Shephard Cross) late last year due to cancer. Rambo (the black lab cross) however still very much behaves like a spoilt pup.

 

[dionysus]

aww that's awesome if you let them in the offices from time to time

 

[Conor@Trada]

Always quick visits between walks. We wouldn't ever keep them in this stuffy office
