Visiting the New Orleans Audubon Zoo on Members Night with the kids, we went into the back area of the reptile house

cages had name plates on them: Hissy the King Snake, Joe the Boa, etc.

A big terrium (sic) full of mice which had no names. :dribble:

We've got two extremely spoiled Siamese cats. Just can't come to get another dog, last one we had for 16 years and had to put her down. Saddest thing I have ever done. So not again for a while.

been there, done that - very difficult

We are Basset Rescue foster family

2 bassets, Rosie & Bessie were strays and came in with bad heartworms

both were successfully treated and cured, but 6 months later came down with a cancer

had to be put down

We currently are fostering Lucy and kinda hope to keep her, but Basset director thinks 4 dogs are too much for us to own

Cost for adoption is $250 which would be a big hit for us.

A couple in Boston wants her as a playmate for their current child - another Basset (male)

We be said to see her go, but feel strongly we are good to handle foster situations and these dogs really need us

Big expense for rescue to kennel their dogs awaiting adoption and the dogs living long term in a cage really bothers us

Bye Lucy <sigh>

Two spoiled tabbies. Sasha and Kalli. We have had Sasha for 11 years and Kalli for 4 months. They are both excellent travelers, making the 1100 mile trip from Oregon to California and back every year. They love both homes.

3 dogs:

1 husky/shepherd mix. Balto. Totally lovable but dumb as a rock. Bigger than the other two combined but the wimp of the crowd. Saved from the shelter. Part of a litter that some butthead tried to drown. We think he suffered minor brain damage.

1 labradoodle. Shush-Yaz (Navajo for "Little Bear"). A niece and nephew doing a mission on a reservation picked her up as a stray. Later, they adopted two toddler girls from Liberia and found out that were deathly afraid of dogs. They called looking for a new home for the pup. She's great.

1 toy poodle. Ironman (tentatively). 5 year old from the local shelter that we said we'd foster over Christmas, but we'll be keeping him. Trying to rename him something macho so we'll quit calling him "her". I mean, you know, it's a poodle. Came from a home where he was abused, so he's a little skittish, but after only a few days here, he's beginning to settle in. Kind of gives us the whole large to tiny set.

And the spirits of three dogs and 2 guinea pigs hang around the house where they are still loved.

A Blue Heeler "Patsy" and a poodle "Misty"...go with us everywhere...

Hamie...

My daughter moved out and somehow her cat remained. I would miss it now though as it has become a family member even though it has a personality problem.

1 Weimaraner - Lucius (Lew-Shus) 11 months old. Here he is enjoying his first Christmas...not. :glare:

1 Cat - Figaro, but he's camera shy.

1 dog named Scooby, (yes, we let the kids name him). He's a Schnoodle, Schnauzer/Poodle mix. First dog I've ever had, and we picked a good one.

Oh, and a Beta fish named Rainbow, which has had several traumatic moments, but survived. His previous brethren typically lasted a couple weeks, and he's still swimming after about 8 months.

We share our space with a soft coated wheaton terrior. https://www.akc.org/breeds/soft_coated_wheaten_terrier/

She's not cut for show. This breed maintains a puppylike playfulness throughout life. She's a hoot.

Have four Golden Retriver's duck dogs Max,Mandy, two pups Maverick, Mindy my wie has a thing for M-names. And a cat named Knee-Sox. But they live outside in their house and I live inside in mine.Too many allergies for them to live inside.
