OT -the pets of youlookfab

youlookfab appears to be a community of animal lovers so I though it would be fun to have pictures and bios of our pets in one place.

Here's Domino, she a British Short Hair who we picked up from an animal shelter when she was eleven weeks old. We are not sure how she came to be there, we do know the whole litter was picked up from underneath a shed so perhaps her Mother was a stray.

She is now four years old and equal parts cranky and affectionate. She loves cheese and hates cat milk

My furbaby boys Marley and Tigger. Marley is the black and white one, my BF bought him for me to help ease the loss of my furbaby dog Chance. Tigger the black one he found in a litterbin!! He'd gone off to get a pizza and came back with a cat, sadly the others in the carrier bag didn't make it and to this day Tiggs has a severe dislike of even the sound of carrier bags x

Here's Pepper :), my Yorkshire Terrier. Pepper is 3.5 years old, and has a very fiesty personality, will take on a dog that's 10 times his size with no problem ;), but loves people (especially crossing guards and mailmen LOL) and long walks when he gets to chase squirrels. Here is me and Pep 2 years ago..

Too cute! Here is Grover, our schnauzer/beagle/basset/dalmatian mix we adopted from a rescue organization about a year ago. He is the apple of my eye!

Mine are Emma and Marbles. Emma was adopted from a rescue four years ago, at around age 8-10 (so she's now between 12-14). I was so inspired that I started volunteering (MANY hours) with a local rescue, which led to a phone call from a shelter begging me to take Marbles, then six years old and about to be euthanized because she had a heart murmur. Two years later, Marbles is eight years old and her annual echocardiograms show a healthy kitty. Photos are my holiday cards from the last two years (I admit I fixed the reflective eyes in the second photo). Because of Emma's inspiration, I have placed over 100 cats through the local rescue group!

Oooh, I was contemplating starting a similar thread!
This is Obe. Not as in Obi Wan but as in O.B.E.--Old Blue Eyes. I bought him (a major faux pas in my family where virtually every pet came from the humane society) from a breeder in Oregon 8 years ago because I fell in love with the breed.
Here he is, in true ragdoll form, on my new dining room table that had been in place all of about 30 seconds.

Oh, I love these threads and seeing everybody's furfamilies! (Louise, it's nice to see Marley's picture. Hope he's feeling better.)

Here you go:
1. Daisy the cat
2. Tom Kitten, our most recent rescue
3. One of our ducks
4. The goats in their holiday best
5. The chickens

I didn't include our other cat and the geese as I had no good pics:)

Beth, I am so jealous! I adore goats--I think they are so affectionate! Do you have an animal sanctuary?! A farm?

Beth

Veteran

Steph, we moved out of the city and bought a small farm about 5 years ago. The animals are just family members...and goats are one of the best pets I've ever had:)

Louise

Veteran

Aw bless Beth thanks for remembering. He's feeling much better though we've had my cousin and her young children over this afternoon and he took one look at them and scarpered off upstairs so i'm hoping the stress doesn't set it off again x

We have two Himalayan cats. They are brother and sister (from the same litter) and are 12 years old!

On the left is Giacomo (we call him Jack) and on the right is Liu.

They used to belong to my boyfriend's late grandmother, who was an opera singer, hence their names.

They're all cuties!!

Here's Max and Riley, our two Siberian Huskies. It was the first big snowfall last winter and we had a blast. Now you know why I don't own many black clothes (all that fur!).

We also have two cats and three fish.

What a great thread! Love seeing everyone's furbabies....they all look adorable! We have only Biscuit....Ive had him since he was 3 weeks old (way too young, but had an abusive owner) she brought him to me at 11:00 pm one night, with no warning, and said if I didnt take him, he'd probably die (the others in the litter had starved- which I didnt know about or I wouldve taken all of them) the mom had no milk and she didnt want to deal with him. So I took him (of course) and he needed to be fed with a eyedropper at first, then handfed everything (he was/is terrified of plates-I think she tried to force him)so to this day -9 years later- he must be handfed every meal! He's quite the tough guy/baby mix! He had 3 eye surgeries before he was a yr old and cancer surgery 11 months ago, but TG, he's doing great!

Here is Shelly (short for Bombshell), a fabulous Standard Poodle/Diva. And Buster, a very very naughty Welsh Terrier who gets a lot of passes because he is Mr. Personality and so darn cute.

Love Beth's goats!

Beth, my BF wants to know alll about your goats! They are too cute. What kind - I didn't know there were kinds of goats to be honest. He's a big animal lover too.
I have one kitty, MiniMo who's a 10 yr old tabby. Lost his pal last year, Mocha, a Bombay.

Everyone's pets are soooooooo sweet! Beth you are so lucky to have such a big family. Your goats are precious.

Hmm...how to curate my thousands of Lucie pictures to best capture her essence...

She is very silly, curious, naughty, elegant except when she isn't, obsessed with sleeping in suitcases...

These are my children: Tad (age 4) and Gertrude (age 2). Tad is a quiet, well mannered, lazy little boy. Gertrude is a rambunctious, crazy, mischievous little girl.

Oh my gosh - this is the BEST thread! I am just smiling while looking at everybody's babys! I will GLADLY show off my girls:

Pic 1 - Zoe, the one and only animal that my husband and I have ever adopted as a baby. She is 17 1/2 years old now, the best cat anyone could ever have - she's laid back and friendly and welcomes all of our hospice and foster animals as if she's known them forever. When she was 6 months old her mouth got stuck open one day when she yawned - she ended up having to have 2 different surgeries on her jaw and re-learn how to close her mouth and chew! She has slept on my pillow on our bed every night for over 17 years.

Pic 2 - the miracle cat, Dallas. She was horribly abused and tortured (I will not go into the details) and found in a local resident's garage. She was rescued by the local animal shelter, but so very old and sick and scared and depressed - she was given only 2 weeks to live, so I brought her home to live out those last 2 weeks with us at our house. That was 2 1/2 years ago! She has doubled her weight, recovered from all of her injuries and trauma - and is our "baby." She's pretty "high-maintenance" in that she requires a lot of special medical care everyday - but she's happy, affectionate and she and Zoe LOVE each other! At nights she sleeps in the crook of my knees.

Pic 3 - this is Delilah - a quirky little kitty that has lived with us for the past 6 weeks. She is also a hospice cat (as is Dallas, and as was Kiki) - we don't know anything about Delilah's background, but she has a neurological condition which causes her to wobble when she walks, she is deaf, blind in one eye - and finally just a few days ago figured out how to use a litter box. (Yeah!)

Pic 4 - and finally, I just had to include a picture of my boy, Kiki - our little hospice cat who passed just 3 days ago. He had been with us for 10 months. Love and miss you Kiki.

Here is our Maggie who is full of puppy exuberence and curiosity. As a Polish lowland sheepdog she has no tail at all but a black spot where a tail should be. We have had her a year almost exactly.
I've loved this thread and seeing everyone's dear fur babies

I sadly do not have any pets, unless the ones at my parents house in Europe count. I am enjoying these thread so much! Thank you everyone for all the awesome photos and stories.

Marley, how good of you to take care of hospice kitties. It must be hard to see them pass. Such cute puppies and kitties! Eek! (-:

These threads always make me smile. Maybe we need to have a YLF meetup with pets included some day.

I know I've posted photos of my sweetie Shadow before, but can't resist chiming in.

I'm just so happy to see so many rescue animals have found a good home.

Steph I have so much respect for your voluntary work.

Beth, I can bet you farm is always packed with visitors, so much fun.

Marley, I just wanted to say again just how sorry I am for your loss. I did not know about Kiki until after I posted this thread, I'm sorry if it upset you further.

I'm always glad to share pictures of our boys. They are usually on my lap while I'm online. They are also the reason I decided ponte knit pants might not be for me. Dewey is 3 and Eddie is 2. They are half brothers. Next week my husband and I are taking them to a Halloween party/winetasting for dachshunds and their humans.

I love all of the babies! So fun to see them all.
Here's my brood.
1. Abigayle (four year old Tabby)
Abi is my first furbaby since getting married and I love her. She was born to a feral mommy under the porch of a farm house. She is very independent and very particular about things, but she is the first one to greet me when I wake up every day or when I get home from work. I have only heard her pur a handful of times and she has only curled up in my lap a handful of times, but those moments make me teary eyed because I know they were hard earned. Her favorite past time is playing fetch or sleeping in the open window sill.
2. Kimberly (just turned four year old British Bombay)
Kimberly is a text book BB. She doesn't just love me, she adores me. She is my puppy dog baby. She doesn't sleep on my lap - she prefers snuggling into my neck or being held like a baby. We have coffee time together every single morning, and she is the first kitty to snuggle in bed at night.
3. Molly (we think she's around 2.5 years old and she's b&w)
Molly came to us in a string of strays over one spring/summer. We found homes for the rest, but she was in a unique situation. She was sadly dehydrated and starving and very, very pregnant. I took one look at her eyes and couldn't say no. She waltzed in the house like she was destined to live there and has never left. She had her babies a month later (four) and took one look at the quarters we set up for her little family in our guest bathroom and appeared to be quite pleased. She is the most loving cat I have and shows her appreciation with many kisses and loves. She adores my husband and I know that she knows that he's the one who saved her little family.
4. Jasper (our only little boy! who is 2)
Molly had four kittens, three boys and one little girl. Two boys (one was a siamese) went to live with my in laws, and I get to check up on "my boys" every few weeks. Jasper and Lily never found homes, so they got stuck with me. Jasper was very skittish and fearful up until just a few months ago. He still terrorizes the girls on occasion, but he's quite content to sit in my lap for as long as I let him. The poor thing has ever so slightly crossed eyes - a subtle nod to his siamese brother I suppose.
5. Lily (the baby of the family at 2)
Lily is Molly's only girl, and she is the princess of the family. She loves to sleep nights on her back in the middle of the floor in my room, or near my feet wherever I happen to be. She and her Mama also spend time curled up in a basket sleeping.

All but two of mine play fetch. As in, I throw, they catch and bring back, and I throw again.

Sarah, yours are cute as ever and I love the Bombay comments!! My BF was never much of a cat guy until my Bombay adopted him. It would crawl in under his shirt and come up out of the neck to 'hug' him. Followed him all over the house like a puppy. Too cute. Sadly, we lost her young but she had a big heart for him. We will probably get another of that breed someday.
