AMD Community Pet Appreciation Thread

I know this is a little different, but I think it would be fun to see our members' furry friends and pets, and show them some love!

So if you have dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, what have you, please share!

This guy is Gibson. He was my good friend for a long time, achieving Eternal status in 2015. Gone, but not forgotten! It's been a long time and I've been thinking about adopting again. Miss having a companion around.

Great post @tenzo23 ! Thank you! I'll post a picture of my pet when I get home today. 

Perhaps we should start an "Off-Topic" category in the Red Team community.

What do you think? 

Hi @Ashley_AMD - what are your thoughts?

I was so excited to find this post and share my loves with you all!!

(Also I love everyone's furry and non-furry babes 😻)

Sage is a kitty with the spirit of dog. Loves to be outside and chase bugs, and cuddles on his free time. He also loves to pick on his brothers..

Moose is the sweetest giant you will ever meet. Loves cuddles and any kind of snack you will give him.

Opie is a shy boy, but once he gets to know you he won't leave you alone. His mom (me) is his favorite person in the world. Favorite snack is Cheeto puffs.

Super cute.

I'm always a big believer that people with multiple animals will normally get dogs for their dogs, and then a cat to manage all the dogs 😛

That's an adorable photo @acemodder and those names are great. Curious if there's a story behind Dave's name... 😊

There is a story behind Dave and her name.
I got Dave as a new pet for my wife after she had surgery, she wanted a new kitten anyway.   But I told my wife that I wanted to call her Dave, she said no.   I said if I post on Facebook and get 100 likes for the suggested name of Dave then she can be named Dave, she said ok, expecting my post to not get 100 likes.   

I did indeed get 100 likes and as a result, thus the female kitten named Dave was born.     

 

Dave's birthday is actually the same day as mine also. 🙂

LOL that is a fantastic story, and fun fact about the birthday. Sounds like Dave was meant to join your family. 😊

Hoo boy... a pet thread! How can I NOT get into the mix?

Ladies, Gentlemen... Meet Inigo Montoyger. I found this not so little guy sitting on a fence across the alley from the parking stall where I used to live. As soon as I got out of the car he got really chatty, started doing this little head bobbing thing, and so I went up to him and he promptly hopped onto my shoulder. He was malnourished, had ear mites and wasn't fixed. I figure he wasn't much more than a year and a half old at the time since he was fully grown.

I got him fixed up (both ways) and he'd spend every night curled up next to me.

Inigo loves turning my parka, softshell, hoodies... anything that's my shirts or jackets into a bed. He'll even pull them down off hangers or the backs of chairs to get to them.

The ugly part of this story was that my ex girlfriend grew pretty fond of him aswell. We were still living together since we were locked in a lease, and she already had two cats of her own. She even went so far as to file a civil suit over ownership over him. I obviously won that one, otherwise I wouldn't bother to post photos of Inigo. But since it's been just the two of us: Cat & Cat-Dad, life has been good. I pulled a spare kitchen chair into my home office and set it up with a box containing an old sweater of mine as a bed. That way he's as close as he can get without me taking him off the desk when he gets in the way. He's also a HUGE fan of catching some rays on my balcony and trying to figure out ways of killing all the birds he sees.

And of course, every night we have our routine. I crawl into bed, and he hops up beside me to snuggle.

Now before anyone racks their brains too hard: there's a reason why I named him Inigo Montoyger. The Princess Bride reference should be pretty easy to figure out for anyone over the age of 35. And no, it's not because of his stripes.

Performance over Pretty.

Cotton & BrownieCotton & Brownie

Both Australian Shepherds and spoiled rotten.

Cotton (white):  She is Australian and she is wild, so I call her my Dingo.

Brownie: As sweet as a chocolate brownie, so she is my Princess.

So I have this fantastic fairy tale title "The Princess And The Dingo".

If only you could see what they have gotten for breakfast for the last 7 years.  Scrambled eggs, a little toast & jelly, Cotton like strawberry better than grape, and each a tea cup of milk.  Then there is the "daily" ride in the Side-by-Side (ATV), today they had to wait until after lunch because of the rain.  Their favorite visitor is one of the FedEX delivery men, of course he has 5 Aussies of his own and he loves to visit with Cotton and Brownie.  When we had Cotton spayed she distraught from the pain when she tried to move and such.  That evening she wanted to get up on the bed and just cried when she tried.  So yours truly, gets a quilt and pillow and spreads it on the floor beside her and sleeps on the floor that night.  Now is that spoiled, and I'm proud of it.

Oh my goodness @rtbh99 you have a snake for a pet! Awesome. Although beautiful, I'm scared of snakes, it's the only thing that scares me. I've seen a few here in TX, and, well, I just run! LOL

Max on his last sunrise walk on the beach (Jan 2020). He fought the cancer like a warrior and chemo gave him an extra six months comfortably with us. But in the end, we had to what was best for him.  The night before we took him to Lazy Dog Café for one last hamburger with rice and the following morning a sunrise walk on the beach followed by a celebration with friends and their dogs. Then finally we had the Dr come to the house to send him off peacefully at home surrounded by his loved ones. I have owned a lot of dogs in my lifetime and adored them all. But Max was the only dog that left me thunder struck the first time I met him. Rest in peace sweet prince!Max.jpg

That is heart breaking.  We had 2 yellow Labs prior to Cotton and Brownie.  One of them had diabetes really bad and we had her put down, a very tearful afternoon.  Her litter mate passed away in my arms about a month later.  Could not bear to put her down.  I don't know how long I just sat on the back door stoop and held her.

We all love our pets too much and their love for is is so unconditional.
