				<description>&#060;p&#062;Chris, thanks for posting pics of your kitties. They are gorgeous, I don't see these breeds very often. What kind of breed is Loki? Love that pic in a bag. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Is Starbuck a boy or a girl?
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I love the idea of Dusty going with you for a walk.  It makes me smile.  Maddie has a standing playdate every morning with a couple of other dogs at a local school.  One of the dog's 'brother' - who is a cat - always comes down with the dog to the park and hangs out in the bushes until everyone is ready to go.  Then, he walks back home with the dog &#038;#38; owner.  It's so funny.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Wow!  It's great to hear about and see everyone's pets.  Too cute!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I forget who asked, but we do not put Dusty on a leash for walks.  He hops alongside us, stopping to explore things along the way.  And he follows us home.  He knows where the treats are...&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Speaking of treats, this morning I cut off the tops of some organic strawberries and let Dusty enjoy them.  I love it when the strawberry juice gets on his mouth.  It makes him look like he's wearing lipstick.  LOL.&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Kendra, LOL, these animals have personalities all their own.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Lena, Boi is a German Shepherd mix with some pitbull or bulldog in him. Even the vet has no idea!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Loulou, my dad still can't get used to being called grandpa but my mom has been grandma since day one. My sister and mom ask about him every single time we talk on the phone!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks, Lena.  We've had two Shelties while I was growing up, and both were so mellow and smart - but they definitely enjoy any activity that resembles herding!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;That is awesome that you volunteer at a shelter and also awesome that so many people here participate in pet rescues.  I'd like to do one or both myself someday when time/living situations allow for it.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks Lena! Neeko doesn't like it very much, but I guess after thirteen years he tolerates it. He won't bite or bark, he just shakes like a leaf on a tree anytime he goes, just like when he goes to the vet. We can just be pulling into the parking lot and he is already shaking.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I think I successfully created a Photobucket account!&#060;br /&#062;
Let's see if this works. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;&#060;a href=&#034;http://s588.photobucket.com/albums/ss328/greengirl40/Pets%20and%20Family/&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://s588.photobucket.com/al.....%20Family/&#060;/a&#062;&#060;br /&#062;
Password is ylf2009 if needed.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Photos of Loki (grey with huge ears) and Grendal (Siamese) and our foster cat Bucky/Starbuck (black cat) who lived with us for 4 months but now lives with my sister's family.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;If this trial works I may be ready for some actual fashion shots.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I love love love reading about all the doggies &#038;#38; kitties.  Our family has had a tough pet year as we lost our Golden almost 1 year ago and our kitty got out of the house and disappeared 5 months ago.  We adopted our new puppy Madison in October and she has been so wonderful and a source of much joy.  Believe it or not we found her on Petfinder, she's a rescue Bernese which is pretty hard to find.  As I have two boys, it's great to have a little 'female' energy in the house and I love her to pieces.  We're planning to get a kitten in the next few months and of course I can't forget my son's box turtle - he's surprisingly active and fun to watch. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Here's a pic of Maddie a couple of days ago lazing on the lawn.&#060;br /&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Sarah, your husband and you you're doing a wonderful thing helping out all the stray kitties. I love that picture of you and Jasper. In contrast, our cat  is furious when I try to wash him. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Niva, what kind of breed is Boi?&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Lee, Tessie looks great lounging in that armchair  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-wink icon-emoticon-wink "></span>  Ooh, I'm so excited we have a Shiba on this forum! I learned about this breed last year and I can't get enough of them. They are such foxes, aren't they?

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Kari, your sheltie is adorable. I volunteer at the shelter and I've met quite a few shelties. Wonderful creatures, and incredibly playful and energetic :)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Devin, I love poodles! My aunt has several miniature greys. Neeko has a great hair cut. Does he like to get groomed? Or just tolerates it?&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Michelle, that's hilarious about Freddie and his namesake. And McClure sounds wonderful. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Loulou, I have a soft spot for greys with green eyes. All your kitties are adorable.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Oh that poor little guy! Yeah he is adorable, I love the goofy ears!!&#060;br /&#062;
Kallie gets very upset when my BF leaves the house with Tessie. Kallie will pace around the house, crying. And she never cries! So to hear this pathetic little cry... breaks my heart!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Kendra, Kallie looks so much like Boi! Boi is a German shepherd mix (pitbull we think). They are so very similar in their traits too. Boi is also extremely outgoing, energetic, happy (at 60 lbs now), loves to play and nuzzle all the time and hates to be alone. Last year when we had to go out of town for two weeks for my sister's wedding, we left him at our vet tech's place. When we came back he had lost 15 lbs! Very little of the food we left for him was gone. Apparently, he just didn't eat. He does better with smaller periods of time, but that was a little scary!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;OMG I am in love with all of your furbabies!! They are adorable.... and I am also glad to see so many of us have gone to the shetlers for them. I am a huge believer one should only adopt from a shelter!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I have 2 dogs myself.&#060;br /&#062;
First is, Tessie Maryjane who is a 4 year old, 80 pound,  Anatolian Shepherd. We found her on Petfinder.com. She is fairly skiddish and unsure of new people, but warms up quickly. She has gotten lazy in her old age, but she is my baby! She has alot of food allergies (beef, dairy, corn, wheat), so it took us a long time to find the right food for her, and have a strict no-feeding-the-dogs-food rule in the house, because people food could literally kill her. She LOVES to snuggle... on her own terms, and is in general a very loving, goofy girl.&#060;br /&#062;
&#060;a href=&#034;http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/FromTomboyToFashionista?authkey=Gv1sRgCNjsw_-KstL7Yw#5325324794782281650&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....4782281650&#060;/a&#062;&#060;br /&#062;
&#060;a href=&#034;http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/TessieAndKallie#5267029011104517522&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....1104517522&#060;/a&#062;&#060;br /&#062;
&#060;a href=&#034;http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/TessieAndKallie#5267029392167940306&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....2167940306&#060;/a&#062;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Then we have Kallie! She is a 1 year old shelter rescue. Best we can tell she has Shiba Inu, Show, and maybe shephard in her. She looks like a little fox. She is extremely outgoing, energetic, happy little girl at 45 lbs. She LOVES to snuggle, hates to be alone, and is very good at irritating her big sister.&#060;br /&#062;
&#060;a href=&#034;http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/TessieAndKallie#5233629259224578578&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....9224578578&#060;/a&#062;&#060;br /&#062;
&#060;a href=&#034;http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/TessieAndKallie#5233629339756913378&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....9756913378&#060;/a&#062;&#060;br /&#062;
&#060;a href=&#034;http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/TessieAndKallie#5233629350304091698&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....0304091698&#060;/a&#062;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;And both together, cause who can resist doggie pals?!&#060;br /&#062;
&#060;a href=&#034;http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/TessieAndKallie#5230042942911324562&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....2911324562&#060;/a&#062;&#060;br /&#062;
&#060;a href=&#034;http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/TessieAndKallie#5233629241173296194&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....1173296194&#060;/a&#062;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;We also have a 3rd dog in the house. My mother-in-law lives in the basement with her 12 year old Rottie-lab mix shelter rescue.&#060;br /&#062;
&#060;a href=&#034;http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/TessieAndKallie#5230043052825214962&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....2825214962&#060;/a&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;What a fantabulous thread!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Dusty, Loki (sorry about Grendal Chris), Toulouse, Bruiser, Grendel, Ka Puni, Kekoa, Iniki, Gracey, Missy, Griffin, Phoenix, Jasmine, Rosie, Shadow, Neeko, Freddie, Mr.McClure (Please don't mine me Michelle, I just have an overwhleming urge to call him Mr.McClure :-D), Gracie aka small, Marley, Tigger, Abigayle, Kimmy, George, Molly, Jasper, Lily are all SO precious. So sorry about Rock and Roll, Elika (hugs).&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I've never had a dog of my own whereas my husband grew up with dogs. One fine day, just out of the blue, we decided to bring home a dog and decided ultimately to adopt one from a shelter or rescue. We found Boi on petfinder.com. He was being fostered by a rescue group nearby and for my husband it was love at first sight. We went to visit him and I fell in love too, but I was still unsure how I felt about the whole thing since I have never had pets of my own before. When he was still a few weeks old, the folks who adopted him would be lock him up in his crate for 12-14 hrs while they were at work. This caused him developed flat front paws which he has mostly grown out of. It also made him slightly neurotic - staircases make him anxious, new doors make him anxious and so on. They were kind enough to realize they couldn't take good care of him and returned him to the rescue. A few months later we came along. Well, one year later, I call him my baby and my mother is his grandma  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>  He is so loving and kind and gets along famously with humans and animals alike. He loves to nuzzle. I get asked about his name a lot - he was named Boi by the lady who had been taking care of him and we didn't want to change it and confuse him so it stuck.&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;P.S. Yublocka, I have spent some time with goats at a local animal sanctuary, and find that they are SO affectionate.  I can understand why it would be so difficult for you to get past losing your goat in such an awful way.  The goats at the sanctuary remind me a bit of cats, because they are constantly giving headbutts, looking for some petting.  I totally fell in love with one of them, and now I sponsor him!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I am a huge animal lover, so I love this thread.  :)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I volunteer with an animal rescue group in the DC area, and I find it so rewarding.  I have two cats of my own, Emma and Marbles.  We adopted Emma from a rescue group when she was about eight years old--she's now about 11.  Last year we decided to be a foster home for Marbles, because her time was up at the shelter.  But we fell in love and decided to keep her as our own.  Marbles is about 7.  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;It's great to see so many other YLFs have rescued/adopted from shelters/taken in strays.  It's a wonderful thing to do for an animal that has very little chance of making it out alive.  And for those of you with allergies, there are a lot of purebreds and hypoallergenic pets out there in shelters and rescue groups--so keep that in mind when you are looking to add another pet to your home.  I think a lot of people don't realize they can go to a breed-specific rescue or find a specific breed on sites like petfinder.com.  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Here are my girls, posing for their holiday card (Marbles dressed for Christmas, Emma for Chanukah): &#060;a href=&#034;http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=756370009/PictureID=23708559009/a=44771331_44771331&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://www2.snapfish.com/slide.....1_44771331&#060;/a&#062;  (I hope the link works.)

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Talking about pets on a fashion forum? Can life get any better than this? ;)&#060;br /&#062;
It's no secret that I love animals. My husband and I have fallen into rescuing homeless animals by &#034;accident&#034; over the past few years. The ones that we can't place in a loving, caring home find a home with us.&#060;br /&#062;
I grew up loving animals and when we got married my husband agreed to let me adopt a kitten to keep me company when he went out of town on business.&#060;br /&#062;
I named her Abigayle within minutes of bringing her home.&#060;br /&#062;
When Abi was about six months we decided she needed a friend...someone to play with. So we went to the shelter and fell in love with Kimberly.&#060;br /&#062;
Just a few short weeks after bringing Kimmy home, George showed up in need of some love and care. As with all homeless, abandoned animals we run into, we took him to the clinic and nursed him back to health. He was placed in a home last fall. Before he was placed, he brought a friend. Her name is Molly and she was very pregnant! She had four babies, two of which found homes and two of which live with me. Jasper and Lily. Shortly before they were born, another kitty showed up and he was able to be placed with George in their new home.&#060;br /&#062;
And just a few weeks ago we rescued an abandoned little Yorkie - I thought of you Angie! We found a home for it the same day.&#060;br /&#062;
Here are the photos and fun tidbits on our little fur babies.&#060;br /&#062;

Thank you for sharing your photos and stories. What a great topic!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Oooh its so good to see pics and read about everyones pets.  In a couple of months, once my next nasty rotation at work is over and I get to be home a bit more, I am hoping we can get a little dog for our backyard.  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Can you believe I've never had a cat or a dog before? The only pets I have had are chickens, goats and guinea pigs.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;My precious angora goat andy was killed by a police dog that escaped when I was about 13.  I was devastated and it took me A LONG time to get over it.  My dream one day is to live somewhere with an amazing backyard so I can have another goat, a pig and some chickens!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks for the condolences everyone. That is so thoughtful of you. Thankfully both my little friends had long and happy lives so I'm not allowed to be very sad  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>  (though I miss their cuddles....)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;And I too LOVE all the pictures and great stories (and names!). So adorable. They really are 'love stories' and very heartwarming. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Aaargh, now I really can't wait to get a new puppy.... Just like taylor says; you just fall in love and its a done deal  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-wink icon-emoticon-wink "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I am loving this thread even without being able to see the pics. I love hearing about animals and their personality quirks! Profound condolences to everyone who's lost pets. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;My boyfriend and I have two special animals in our lives, my guide dog McClure and our cat Freddie. McClure is 10 and will soon be leaving me for alife of retired ease in the country with my parents.  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-sad icon-emoticon-sad "></span>  He's been an incredible friend and helper for eight years and has fully earned the right to spend his twilight years running around a rural property, sniffing everything in sight and getting spoiled, but my god I'm going to miss him! McClure is a golden retriever and the most loyal animal I've ever seen. He mopes if I'm out of sight for more than 2 minutes and even waits for me outside the bathroom when I have a shower. I'm at work as I write this, and he's currently got his head inches from my chair (in prime position for an encounter with the chair wheels, but he doesn't seem to care). His loyalty is all the more impressive when you consider I've stuck him with such ridiculous nicknames as Woofer and Hounderpounce. :)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Freddie is a five-year-old tabby that we got from a rescue program. It satisfied my boyfriend's long-held wish to get a cat of our own and gave me a lift after working on a story about the deplorable animal cruelty laws in my country. We named him after Freddie Mercury and have received daily proof of what an apt choice that was; this cat is pure diva with a soft side that's been developing more with each year we have him. He even has an impressive vocal range!  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>  He's definitely the boss animal and will think nothing of taking over McClure's favourite lounging spots. :)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Our boys pretend not to like each other very much, but they occasionally slip up. Here's a pic of one such time:&#060;br /&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I am so glad to see so many who have such love for their babies! &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I have had my Neeko for 13 years. My mom had bought us so many pets she refused to buy another, so she told me that if I wanted another dog that I would have to buy him and take care of him. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I bought Neeko in 1996 when he was six weeks old and he was jet black, he is now grey. Neeko is a Toy Poodle. We call him &#034;neeko neek&#034; and &#034;neeko james&#034;. James is his middle name...lol. I love him so much! He is the best dog I have ever had and we have had dogs all my life. Here are couple of pictures of my Neeko:&#060;/p&#062;
