Jake and I had been discussing getting a companion for our 16 year old dog, and well, an offer fell into our lap that we couldn't refuse.
A friend and neighbor had an oops litter (she was lied to about the dog being spayed), 8 pups!
She found homes for all but one.
We get pup for Bear and she...

More Brillo! AKA Mike Tyson Kitten (huge boy, teeny voice, but loves to talk)
Keep in mind he is a kitten, 8 months old, almost as big as either of my girls, and will definitely dwarf them when he's grown.
I know a lot of you have dogs as well, though not sure if any of you deal with timidity or anxiety.

I'm not talking about peeves here, I'm talking about things that really get on your nerves.
I'm a very polite person, even to those who aren't polite, manners don't cost anything, and they are in unlimited supply.
That's the number one thing that annoys me.
A close second is people who don't...
I just discovered yet another tumor on my old dog.
The others do not concern me, he's had them for years and they have remained unchanged.
Such is the way with labrador genes and being prone to fatty tumors and skin tags.

It seems to be a veritable nexus of retirees and car clubs.
Saw this beauty yesterday,trailer-ed and no doubt on its way to a show this weekend.
Although I think the photographer is wrong, I'm fairly sure it's a 52 and not a 53.
Regardless, you don't often see customized school buses.

Hubby has been wanting a little pet of his own for a while now.
Last night I managed to catch a Mediterranean House Gecko, so we've got it housed in a 5 gallon terrarium setup, plan to removed fake plants and add live ones later.
