I have a large 30 lb male Shih Tsu named Jax..He is 3 now. He was a gift to a family member and was kept for 3 days and didn't want it. He went to 2 more homes At 1 of the homes her dog and Jax did not get along tried for 3 weeks So she asked if I would take him..In the first year that I have him I was tempted to get rid of him, then he just turned into a wonderful smart obedient dog. Even puts himself to bed now. No I haven't sewn anything
for him.

I have a 3.5 year old Yorkie named Mickey who I adopted 2 years ago. I've made him a covered cushion (appliqued) for his bed and have put his name on his collars and leashes. Temporarily living with me are three beagles that I make nothing for as they chew up everything.

yikes LOL well it's a good thing they are temporary, I love my yorkie too!
by pinon 10 May 2012
Well the cushion for Mickey's bed is now just fluff in the yard... victim to a game of tug-of-war between the beagles. Sweet dogs but...!!! Guess I'd better rescue what fluff I can and go check my stash.

I have a pit bull/lab mix. Rosie is the sweetest dog you could ever ask for. I can take food out of her mouth.....how many dogs can you do that with? She is so docile, she takes biscuits from my 3 yr old granddaughter with just her lips so gently.

I have a dog called Risky she is a labrador collie mix and just over 1 years old. She is a wonderful gentle and obedient dog except when we get near water. Then she changes in this hyper animal that splashes everything!
I also have 3 cats: Janneke a long haired tabby is 10
Mhing a black one who is 9 and Snap a ginger one who is eight. And yes she is called Snap for a reason. She hisses and spits at everybody.
No I have never embroidered for the animals.

We have 3 Yorkies at our house, Tuffer who is 6. Daisy who is 4 and Bubba J. We don't know how old Bubba is for sure(probably about 13). I adopted him a year ago when his human daddy died and his human mommy had Altzhimers. She couldn't care for him so I took him in. Not like I needed another one but I couldn't resist him. He feel in love with me instantly. He keeps a constant eye on me and sobs if I leave him to go anywhere. We also have a 10 year ols English Bulldog, a Quaker that talks constantly and 3 cats. Blue a seal point Siamese, Buster a lilac Siamese, and Boomer a black stray we found in our barn when we came home from camping last year. It doesn't pay at my house to say "No more pets". Another one always shows up.

It's been a long time since I've had a pet. I've had several dogs over the years and somehow something always happens. I've had them disappear with no sign of anything, I've had them pass. We ended up with a few strays as we couldn't turn them away. We at one point ended up with a couple stray cats (we think they had been dropped off out in the country and they managed to survive - not sure for how long before they found us).
Didn't do any good saying no more!
But now it is no more as I live in an apt. and no pets allowed.

we have a pekingese named Taffy... we got her from a rescue group. She was in a puppy mill and she was all matted when they got her and her tail was broke in the cage door.... lucky for her she is now the most spoiled dog on the planet earth. I think she has at least 5 beds in every room in the house. and she is so much loved by myself and my husband (whom usually likes big dogs) she is only 11 pounds.

I have a little ball of white fur with 2 1/2 Kg of dog inside.

Named Baci (little white Italian chocolate kisses) because she had a very active, long, pink kissing tongue when she came to live with us, this little miniature Maltese has the attitude that all people who see her, love her and will obey her. She's completely committed to self-comfort. She has no size perception and thinks she's a Rottweiler.

Her life-long ambition, apart from keeping DHDon and me in order, is to find the sunniest, warmest spot on the deck where she will lie and cook herself until the 'voice of eviction' sounds and she will then unwind slowly and saunter inside. Her attitude?.... call me if you will but I'll do it in my time!!!

I made her a real quilt (patchwork, batting, quilted... the lot) from fleece scraps to use where she is anchored in the back seat of the car but for some unknown reason she took an immediate dislike to it and often scratches it out of the way to lie on the seat - no doubt, like a real person.

Despite her Royal Attitude, she has a wonderful nature, is very loyal, fun loving and has never snapped or tried to bite or even snarled at the various grand- and great-grand-children in their attempts to play with her.

Need I say we're smitten with her and her antics???

I have a little brown nosed orange ball of fur and somewhere down in all that hair is a very small pomeranian named Toby. I've had him about 8 years, I had two very old poms when I got him and they have since passed but taught him to be quite a mommas dog, he is a true joy.

I don't have a dog at this time but I had a beagle named Rex but I also called him Pookie. When I drove into the yard he would always run around the corner of the house to the fence to greet me. One day I got out of the car and said "Hey Pookie". Someone shouted back Hi and waved. It was an elderly man walking across the street and he thought I was talking to him. I think I made his day. lol

American Possums don't look anything like yours and you don't want to get close to ours, they are mean. These are so cute and look like they could be trained as a pet. The birds are so pretty and sounds like you feed them well.

I have a wheaten Scottish Terrier. Sparky is 1 1/2 yrs old and quite a handful. I also have an American Bobtail rescue cat who is 13 yrs old. For awhile I didn't think the two were going to get along but the cat has learned to put up with being 'sniffed', if you know what I mean. And Sparky shares his bowl with the cat. Strange pair.

My boss is a 9 year old Bichon named Bailey. He is the head of the household and doesn't mind letting you know it. He weighed 1# 3oz. at the age of 13 weeks and still only weighs 10#. He eats a bit of dry dog food mixed with canned chicken and green beans and cottage cheese. He won't go to bed with those couple tablespoos of cottage cheese. When he thinks I should go to bed he tells me and we get the cottage cheese then potty then to bed. He sleeps on the foot end of the bed or when it's cold he sleeps up next to my head on the pillow.

Trev and I don't have pets anymore. We had 2 Shelties over the past 26 years. The first we got when she was 2 and peed everytime I went to sweep the floors - she was petrified and obvioulsy hit at some stage before we got her. By the time she died at 14 she was just the most beautiful, gentle, loving and loyal guard-dog of our home and family. We had a cat Bonnie at the same time as Kelly and she lived till 12 she was also gorgeous, gentle and black as the ace of spades. The kids were young and couldn't say Ebony so we shortened it to Bonnie. We got Bella a year after Kelly died and she was the most beautiful dog I've ever known. I made quilts for her over the years and she slept on lambswool rugs too. In the latter years she slept on the end of our bed as her arthritis was so bad. She died a year ago last Friday 4th May. Wow, so many wonderful memories of our beloved spoiled pets. Thanks Loralye for asking this question, love and blessings Chris
(This is Amy with Bella a year ago)

We have 4 furry companions. The first, is Scarlett Candy, a rescued greyhound. She will be 11 years old in August. We had a male greyhound too, Scooby Doo, but we lost him to cancer in December. Next, is Chloe a pit-bull mix. She was left in our yard when she was 5 wks. old. She will be 4 yrs. old in June and is a real sweetheart. Third is our cat, Mr. Bojangles, a Maine Coon. He is also a rescue. He will be 14 this month. Last but certainly not least, is Charlie Chaplin, a tuxedo cat. He was abandoned when he was about 5 months old and we took him in. He is now a year old and always into something. Kinda like having a toddler in the house!!! All our babies hold a very special place in our hearts and I couldn't imagine what life would be without them. Thank you for letting me share.
