It's Pet Week!

In case you haven't seen it Cindy has pet week going on at her blog. I entered this layout of one of my dogs.

 

What you don't see is that those titles (the white paper with words on them) really open up or flip up and it tells the story of this little dog and her journey to come to be with me. Although I spotted her at the pound first I wasn't sure if I wanted to adopt another dog so soon (I lost my dog to cancer just a month or so before) and ended up saying I wasn't going to actively seek a dog and if I was meant to have one, the dog will find me just as my Carrie had done so my son adopted her but he went into the Army which is how she came to live with me. Now that years past my son said she was too use to me and my ways so she is my dog.

Question of the Day

The Question of the day in one of my groups was asking if when I grew up were pets part of my family. My answer to this is a big "YES". I always had a fur baby ...well, sometimes some didn't have fur. I did have snakes, turtles, plenty of birds, and different lizards but there was always something as part of the family.

The second part of the question was if I had any now and what kind as well as to share the photos. So let me take the time to introduce you all to part of my family. Keep in mind they are all spayed or neutered.

Meet Rosie..... a female 10 yrs. old Pomeranian.

....and Buster.......a male 6 yrs. old Pomeranian.

.....and meet Hiccup (AKA: Sheila)......female 2yrs. old Shih Tzu.

I love this picture of her but you really can't see her much so I will add the one below.

Now meet my scrap room helpers who adopted me (which is a whole other story) 

Mamma....female 2yrs.

....and Kit Kit (AKA: Brat Cat)......female less than a yr. old and a kitten of Mamma and Poppa.

I also have 2 outdoor feral cats....

Poppa ...male 2 yrs. father of Kit Kit.

and Blackie..............female 2 yrs. old but I do not have a picture of her...she is camera shy.

Note: Picture added 11/1/13, Blackie is 4 yrs. old now.

On a side note, Mamma and Poppa had 6 kittens in total I had 3 of the 6 but found homes for...

Fluffy (AKA: Autumn)

and Butterscotch

I hope you enjoyed meeting my family.
