Aww...what a cute cat!

I live at a dorm where the only allowed pets are Fish in a tank no larger than 10 gallons. (Note it says -1- tank... I be breakin' the rules, I be. ;D)

At my family's house, we have:
A 7 month old Giant Schnauzer puppy,
a 9? year old Mackerel Manx cat,
a Green Anole,
a baby African Spurred Tortoise (which we found in our backyard)

And yeah! My oldest brother has three goldfish at his apartment, but that's about it as far as my family's pets go!

Wow, how'd I miss an opportunity to post pics of Mason?




notice....on the last pic....when Mason's outside...he is ALWAYS on a leash. I don't want to take a chance on a car hitting him , or a moose stomping him.

Ron and Colie




More Colie

but note two items:


One

He looks "meek and mild" in these photographs but please note that he is really getting to be a "mean motor scooter" and is very, very protective.

He stays with me pretty much 24/7 but most folks think that he stays at the office at night.

When someone he does not know comes to the door of the office the hair is standing "right straight up", lips curled with teeth showing and unmerciful barking.

This sounds bad and has bothered some clients but before I had Colie the office was "broken into" four times and this was with the security alarm blaring and the alarm system calling the police.

Since Colie has lived with me no break-ins at the office!


Two

Note the burnt orange and white blanket on the couch which is laying on!

(BTW: this is his favorite "napping place" while at home and I have a UT bed for him at the office.)

Hmmmmm
I'll have to dig up some pics.

Right now we've got a 7 (?) year old german-shepard mix -- Sandy -- we rescued her as a puppy, she was pretty badly abused and has some issues, but Shelly (Mrs Red) has done an awesome job rehab'ing her into a canine good citizen.
She's about 70lbs (should be closer to 60, I'm not walking her enough right now) and a gorgeous sable color. When she was a wee pup she was all scrawny and leggy, so she looked like a coyote - thus her nickname, "the OT".
old photo here:


Until recently we had a long-haired calico kitty, but I lost her after 17 years.

We have a number of ferrets (also known as carpet sharks and fuzzy slinkies). Right now we own 5: Loki, Coyle, Latte, Meelo, and Goliath.
Shelly helps run a ferret shelter, and we are currently fostering 3 un-adoptable ferrets: Freckles, Cosmo (Kawzy), and Zuzu. These 3 needed more hands on care than they could get in the shelter (where they get good care but just because of the sheer number on animals they get less personal attention). Freckles was pretty ferret-aggressive when we got him, but between Shelly and Coyle (he counters aggression with snuggles), Freckles has come around and is now very well socialized.
Its very common to walk into the ferret room and find Coyle, Freckles, Goliath, Latte, and Meelo sleeping in a heap together, while Kawzy and Zuzu are curled up together in another pile

As soon as I can, I'll upload some pics.

Oh, I've also got two small turtles now, a painted and a red-eared slider. A friend left them with me when he moved to Utah.
Plus the various aquariums...

I'm almost ready for another kitty, so sometime this year we'll be adding one again.... (this explains why I work two jobs, and why one of them is at a place that offers an employee discount on pet supplies/food )

You really, really have my condolences!

My puppy dog, Collie*, is only about 4 years old and I dread the day! (But who knows: he may survive me!)

TR

*He stays with me virtually 24/7.
When I go to the office he goes to the office.
When I go to meetings he goes to meetings (except public or public employee meetings during which he is typically sleeping on his seat in the suburban).

Well this is my Kayla, who was put to rest on Wednesday. She was with me for 15.5 years. She was a great dog and companion. I am not sure how I will get past loosing her.

So sorry for your loss, Ob and Shaggy. I can understand your feelings. I can see in Kayla's face that she was a well loved and cared for dog. I hope you get another asap...Kayla would want you to give the love you gave her to another one.
this was my Rocky Dog ( RIP )

we found Mason at the same dog pound and in the same stall that we found Rocky Dog in.....it was like he guided me there.
this is Mason

I have a saying I heard a long time ago:
Loosing a loved one never hurts less.............it only hurts less often.

Bob
That is so awesome that you were led to Mason!

I will get another companion when it is possible for me to do so. Kayla was grandfathered into this apartment, and now they do not allow any animals (you would never know that though, they have more here now than they did before the rule!) I have some issues with depression and I am going to look into getting a note about assisted animals for my mental health. Then it won't matter where I live, they would have to accept them. I don't need many, but I do need at least one furry friend. I dream of my own home without this issue. I went to the LFS yesterday and held a rabbit. I may do something like this for a while. Thankfully the people at the LFS are friends, which makes it easier. And my best friend is an animal (cats and birds mostly) rescuer so I can always go to her house and help her keep them socialized. And she just became the director of one of the local cat rescues, which is right across the street from my apartment. So I can go pet those cats too

And while this is difficult, it was well worth it.
