Our family has two big 'ole cats, Jim & Phoebe, a 5 year old black lab (couch potato), Cleo, a guinea pig named Chocolate and a stray Momma rescue cat with 3 (out of six) cute 8 week old kittens left. I refuse to name 'em, cause they aint's staying. LOL

I love all our critters, but sometimes the daily care adds to my stress a bit, especially black dog hair all over! We sweep up enough to make another dog each week.

Do your critters comfort you when no one else can? Mine seem to know just when to come sit one/with me when I'm blue.

How about it? How many have you got and what do they do? Entertaining stories?

Our first cat Jim and our dog Cleo rode around the country with us when DH and I were truckdrivers. Jim escaped and "vacationed" for two weeks in Virginia and for a week in New Mexico...locals took him in, called my Mom's phone # on his collar and we were able to come back to pick him up. We finally had to put up a "tieout" in the truck and hook him in whenever we opened the doors. LOL Jim is really a character...he has cattitude.

Smiles,
Dee

ahhhhh so glad to hear all the wonderful pet stories. My pets are my children also!!! We have 2 shih-tzu's Cooper who is 7 years old and Lucky who is 3, a siamese tabby mix cat that is 2 years old named Jasmine.(or should I say PRINCESS JASMINE) she only comes out for food, treats, water, and to use the litter box but you can always find her sleeping on the top pillow of the coach. She acts like she could care less about any of us but everytime we go somewhere and she is left alone for a few hours or more she is right at the door waiting to greet us when we get home so I know she loves us but she just can't admit it :) My husband keeps saying that he wants to get a "MANS" dog like a German Shepherd or a Rottweiler because he thinks its embarrassing to walk our little shih-tzus lol but I keep tellin him honey size really doesn't matter :) but I would LOVE To get a Newfoundland OMG they are the most gorgeous dogs with the cutest faces I have ever seen but they are so HUGE I wonder if they need alot of room to roam. We have a fenced in back yard but they seem to need a farm Oh well our 3 fur babies keep us busy enough so it will be quite a while before we get another anyway!! If I can find some pictures I will post my babies also!!! Thanks for sharing
