That is Mister Tinkerbell, my Great Dane/Pitbull mix. He's almost four years old, very loving and playful. He's also great with kids and (usually) other animals. He did have an unpleasant event with the neighbor's dog recently, but don't worry, we got them both to the vet quickly and they both healed up nicely.
Actually, he's usually really good with other dogs. In fact, his little spat was after the neighbor's two dogs had already spent over a week sharing the house and yard with him. Most of our friends love to bring their dogs over to play with Tink. This was a rare occurrence, especially considering how much time he spends around other dogs.
Tink gets to play with a Rotty pup on occasion. Another friend of mine has a full grown Rotty who is too unruly to have around Tink. Tink does have that typical defensive mode when he's on a leash, so we rarely let him near other dogs on the leash.
I just joined this group today and I'm curious to see if there are any bird owners in the group. I currently have 4 lovebirds & a parrotlet. Over the years I've had a variety of parrots, large and small, and love them like they're my kids. The lovebirds in particular are so affectionate and love to snuggle inside my shirt collar or pockets. I'd love to find some folks with similar interests :D
Do chickens count? We usually have a small flock and love the eggs. Right now we are down to one old girl and have to fix up the coop before we can get a new batch.
Susan, I know I'm a little late chiming in, but I have a white-capped pionus and a cockatiel. Both wonderful birds. And cowpunk...I have an Americana chicken I use for eggs as well. And lastly, Joseph...Love the long haired cats, but watch out when they get old. We have one that is now 20 and doesn't take care of his fur well. I'd post a pic, but he looks like crap (^_^). Reasonably healthy otherwise, but a constant war to keep the knots/clumps down. I'm always having to cut pieces out, so furs a little uneven
The suffering in Haiti is tremendous. Fortunately, aid for people is now flowing into the country. But what about the animals? Humane Society International (HSI) is on the ground to help.
Why do dogs have to figure out where you are going, then walk in front of you to slow you down? Im sure cats do it because they enjoy the drama of the big dumb human being tripped and flying across the floor, but dogs are nicer.
Hey there! I'm new to the group. I have two shepherd rescues Mojo 11 and Sami 5. I have a kitty named Cooper age 7. I am a pet groomer and have worked with animals since I was around 14. I was so excited to see this group on here! Hopefully you guys are pretty active!
Welcome Chera! Unfortunately, this group isn't very active :/ I will try to make a point of stopping in here and posting something pet related now and then, like Ruth did :)
I had to have my female Rottie, Freya, put down last May and I still miss her so much. It was totally unexpected and happened so fast :( We still have my son's female, Isla, from Germany and brought home her step-sister last Fall. Bryn's parents are from the same kennel in Germany, but she was bred and born here. both gorgeous dogs. I'll try to find a good picture to post. And they both have tails!! Tail docking and ear cropping is outlawed in Europe, so I told our breeder that I wanted our new baby to have her tail. So cool the way Isla's tail curls right up on her back! :)
I have a long-haired German Shepherd named Leo, a young Standard Poodle named Sheldon and a beautiful tabby cat named Ivy. They are very dear to me and keep me sane. They're also very spoiled and get to sleep on the bed. Sheldon's groomer plays loud Christian music while grooming, so I'm a little worried that Sheldon might be become born again and turn on the rest of us heathens. But the groomer does a good job. I think Ivy is Jewish because when she gets upset her yowls sound like "Yahweh! Yahweh!"
Hi all! I'm a sucker for a desperate fuzzy face. My furry family consists of 4 cats, 5 bunnies (we adopted out two of them a couple days ago, or it would be 7!), a chinchilla, and a horse. Anyone who says an atheist can't understand love and compassion is welcome to drop by and handle doodie duty for a day ;)
Oh what lovely pictures! Thank you all for sharing. I had an all black kitty... Maybe I could post some pictures .. Just need to pull them from iPhoto.
How wonderful Kittie. There's a rabbit who lives in my yard .. I have a picture .. I'll find it and post it up for all of you.
Torpedo, my family's shar-pei, had to have eye lid surgery today. Thanks to modern science, he is ok and now resting. Praise FSM! He isn't liking the cone though... :(
Sorry to hear about Tornado's surgery and that he has to wear the cone. I have rottweilers and in the past we've had to use the cone. the poor things practically had to be led around so they didn't continuously run into walls and doorways.
I received a catalog from "In the Company of Dogs" and they have a collar that helps keep pets from scratching or licking wounds. Here is the link in case you want to check it out :)

We may as well make a bit of money seeing as we have to put up with fundies anyway. Besides, a couple of viciuous dogs would be handy post-rapture.
