Self-indulgent pet thread

I think Stan is more like Bob's size or smaller. Tango is a giant!

He is huge. Although he doesnt throw his weight around & boss our other 2. He knows his place.

Thought id add this one as they dont often sit that close.

My cats do that with my bed

but do you end up sleeping in the cat bed?

but do you end up sleeping in the cat bed?

I have been known to use the one on the sofa as a pillow when I want a nap (which cannot happen on the bed because of all the cats!)

So jealous of two. We were after this little lady from Cats' Protection as a friend for Stan, but weren't quick enough.

We may not have lost out after all, CPL are very keen for us to have her, so we are going to meet her this week!

Somehow this very naughty little doggy managed to pass her Kennel Club Silver Good Citizenship award today.

There's a big Neddy shaped hole in my sister's house so they've got a new brother to join their furry crew, Barney. Named before the wind arrived in keeping with their Simpsons name theme.

Squeeee! He's a bit cute Mogden

We've been thinking about filling our Treacle shaped hole, we'll probably wait until after Christmas now, but we've been looking on the Dogstrust & Jack Russell rescue websites.

Isn't he just! He's absolutely tiny and apparently his Dad is small, Mum average so they're not sure how big he'll get. Settling in well with Otto, the other doggie, and their 2 cats.

I must say I've been getting ideas about a dog myself but it's not at all practical for me.

 

[BoatieBird]

What breed is he?

 

[Mogden]

What breed is he?

Blue merle collie so he'll look quite different when grown!

Looking at the various pic attached to that - I can see how you got your nom de plume HOW do you keep all of those leads un-tangled

There were two of us so two each. Tangled leads isn't such a problem as it encourages the ferrets to walk together. It's when they all decide that they are acutely intersted in four different thing in four different places that you have trouble.

Pet wrestling

This happens pretty much every day, they both seem to enjoy it

Chester is pretty relaxed where he sleeps these days - he hardly ever hides in the cupboard!

I have been looking after this rather nice dog

 

[trabuquera]

you lucky person weltweit. I've got a known weakness for black dogs with greying muzzles (RIP, Treacle) ... but that's spectacular! His/her eyebrows look like van Gogh-style brushstrokes...

You know what, 2 of my cats absolutely adore one another - they follow each other around and sleep curled up in the same bed. About once a day or every couple of days though, that ^ sort of thing goes on - you can tell it's not serious as neither is like all their fur puffed up to look big, no screeching, claws retracted and all that is happening is a non aggressive wrestling thing - it's kind of dominance play, a way of establishing boundaries between friends. Between friendly cats it is normal and your dog looks to be taking it in his/her stride and understands what it's about.

She is a very distinguished dog, quite dignified, but still bounds around like one half her age!
