My new puppy! (And a Cat Cannon) [Image Heavy]

[Endie]

I'm really sorry about that.  I had to let my 13-year-old persion chinchilla put to sleep a few days before Christmas, and spending the last 20 minutes or so with her beforehand it was worse than I could ever have imagined.  I may be a rugby player with a reputation for getting in too many fights and that sort of stuff, but I can still cry at the memory.

We had to put down my 15 yr old JRT this past weekend. He got run over when he made a dash for the  furry tree rat across the street. Sad days at the DD house indeed... RIP Sport. 

My condolences. Losing one of my dogs would rip my heart out.

I'm sorry for your loss, DD.

My dad used to have an Alaskan Malamute. If you don't know what that is, well, they can get as big or bigger than a Great Dane in size with more muscular bodies. Playful as hell and they'll crush you. I remember the day I was standing in the backyard and looked over to see the dog. I couldn't figure out why it seemed odd that he was back there until I realized his dog house was in the front yard where we would tie him up so he wouldn't run off. He ripped the support off the porch.

Give you an idea of how big they are:



Truly amazing dog. There are far too many stories of how that dog saved my stupid ass...

Malamutes are fucked-up crazy.  I've only been around a full-grown malamute once, and it was this gargantuan behemoth of a dog that was as high as my chest.  I was torn between the desire to find out whether I could climb on his back and ride him, and the fear that he might decide to eat me.  Before encountering a malamute, I'd thought that great danes were big; now I know that they're nothing special.

And they're insanely playful. That's the worst part. I recall being dragged down the street (literally) until the dog got tired. It was nice enough to lick my wounds after

Very adorable "Why do they make me suffer such humiliation?" look on that puppy's face.

[Phildo]

Foxy's generally a trooper, but every once in a while she lets us know what she thinks of us.

[SnakeCharmer]

Jack, the laziest boxer known to man. 
If this pooch was any more laid back, he'd be in a coma.

I hope you're drooling at the kit and not the thought of roast puppy!   

[Sky]

Yah. Never had roast puppy though, so I'm not knocking it.

More kitty/puppy goodness. Unfortunately some personal stuff has come up so puppy is going on vacation to my brothers house

[Samwise]

This is my mom's cat, Ed.  Adopted feral.  Very social these days, and he did a good job posing for this photo.



Pirate kitteh!   

[Signe]

He's got nice tiger markings and looks pretty soft, a lot like my Lister.  Lister still very much has a kitten face, though.  I'm worried about him because he's lazy and is getting a fat arse.  He likes us to carry him around so he can swat at stuff from the comfort of our arms.  I don't think he'd even notice if his back legs disappeared one day.

[voodoolily]

Aww my little Goo likes to be carried around too, so he can see the ceiling better. He's pretty fit, though.

My roomies cat has taken to punching me in the face. While I sleep. He also hid in the tub once and when I went to the washroom he punched me. I was defenseless and he disturbed my quiet time. Prick.

[Signe]

If I'm on the computer or phone when they happen to want attention, which is a lot, Lister head butts me in the face and Magenta stands on the keyboard, puts her little cat hands on my shoulders and looks deeply and meaningfully into my eyes.  I usually end up paying attention to them.  I'm such a push over.
