We also have two guinea pigs - Cisco and Wynn. We got them when
our family was binge-watching The Flash and Supergirl, hence the
names. They are so sweet and I love them very much!
And then there's Willow. She is our 5mo Briard puppy. If you can
imagine what it would be like to be thrown into a dryer with a
package full of fresh razor blades, then you can imagine what
it's like playing with Willow. SHe is smart, funny, and
beautiful, but still so much puppy. People keep telling me it
gets easier, and I'm ready for that now. Please.

I have a spoiled shih tzu/yorkie mix named Riley. She's the
funniest little dog I've ever had. :D

one dog, three cats, all rescued, as everything I have owned has
been.
Yahtzee is 70 pounds of border collie, pit(?) and boxer. He is
about five, and the brain fairy finally visited. When you have a
piece of buttered toast in your hand, he will run through his
entire repertoire (sit, lie down, give paw, sit up and beg)
repeatedly until you "pay" him.
His cat, Turner, an orange bowling ball of undetermined age,
between seven and ten. He is aggressively affectionate (won't
take no for an answer) and, unfortunately, a love-biter, and we
have the marks to prove it.
When my aunt came to live with us, we got two more cats:
My late mother's elderly huge orange cat, Morris. He showed up
one day at her house, and just moved in. Unfortunately, he is
FIV positive, and so he lives in the office with the door shut,
I think he would love to be with us in the rest of the house,
and met Yahtzee and was not fazed at all, but my vet forbids it
in case the cats tussle. We are usually in the office for part
of the day, and he likes sitting on one of our desks when we
work, although not a lap cat.
My aunt's sweet little grey and white fluffball of a fraidy cat,
Emily. She lives in my aunt's room by preference, it took months
before she wouldn't run and hide when someone went into the
room, even to feed her.
My heart dog of all time was a goofy pitbull named Otto. He
lived to be 17 and was the kindest, funniest, most intelligent
dog I ever had.

A couple of years ago, mid-December, I was walking in the middle
of the night (I do this sometimes, because it's such a peaceful
time.) So, let me set the scene. About 3am, snow on the ground,
my breath fogging, no cars or people around, soft meowing.
Soft meowing?
I look down, and a pure white cat was looking up at me,
intently. We were standing in front of a house that used to be
occupied but was currently vacant. She was standing on the front
steps, and it seemed to me like she had been on those steps a
great many times. I took a liking to her, and I came to a
decision. I walked with her to my house (just up the block), and
she followed along dutifully. I told myself that if she came
back to my house three nights in a row (this being night one), I
would bring her in. If anyone reported her missing, she was safe
and warm. If they did not, she was safe, warm, and had a home.
Her name is Sarah now. She'd completely and utterly deaf (common
among pure white cats), but to make up for it she is loud.
Obviously, she has never heard herself and therefore does not
realize she is loud.
Then, last summer I was out front of the house (on the phone
with my SO, M) and a neighbor called me over. They had a *tiny*
kitten that was an apparent stray. She was absolutely adorable,
and she fit neatly in one hand. They were wondering if we could
take her in (we are the neighborhood softies when it comes to
cats.) I hear over the phone "Yes. Do it." And that is how we
got Amber. Amber is Sarah's opposite in so many ways. Where
Sarah is reserved, Amber is energetic. Where Sarah likes to
watch us from a distance, Amber wants attention, always. And
where Sarah is loud, Amber is still trying to figure out how to
use her voice. She mostly "hacks", but sometimes now will
squeak.

I previously posted about having 5+2 cats ... it is now 6+2
There are the two outdoor cats, that's unchanged--Buddy (gray
tux) and Blot (all black) live outside and come to the house
daily for food. Both are tom cats who are adults, so I don't
think I could ever transition them into indoor cats, even if
they weren't nearly feral (they are both untouchable, may
tolerate my presence because I am the bearer of food, but I have
been hissed at if I get too close).
The five indoor cats from the prior post are still my
kitties--Circe (long haired dilute calico), Autumn (calico),
Domino (black and white, "cow" pattern), TV (black and white
tuxie), and Cosette (tortie). But about a month ago, my
youngest son was adopted by Mabel.

At the time, the vet estimated her at 4 months, and she was a
bit underweight. I think I've resolved that, and she's
scheduled Monday for her next set of shots and her spay
(assuming that we did get her to gain from 3.8 to 5 pounds).

My newest - Rosie. From a rescue group in town. She's 4 years
old and her previous owner had to give her up. I swore I'd never
get another long haired kitty, but she was irresistible. I still
miss my little tortie Peanut who passed 5 months ago terribly,
though. [attach=1]

After losing our beloved long-haired dachshund Leia earlier this
summer at the age of 16, we were bereft for a while. Our house
doesn't function well without dogs in it. So we contacted a
local dachshund rescue and asked them to hook us up with a pair,
because we've learned our lesson about having only one dog at a
time.
So now we have a bonded duo, both 7 years old, who have been
ours for a little over two weeks.
Cooper: Another long-haired dachshund. Bold and darling, he
demands attention and knows he's gorgeous. He's also somewhat
overweight; probably a combination of his epilepsy medication
and former owners who couldn't put up a good resistance to the
patented Dachshund Infinite Look of Sadness. He's on a weight
loss regimen now, and now has to be fenced out of our pumpkin
patch to keep him from eating random pumpkins.
Bozley: A dachshund/chihuahua mix (also known hilariously as a
chiweenie). He has one ear that stands up and one ear that
flops. Vastly more nervous by nature, he's also a lot more needy
when it comes to companionship. But that's fine, cause he's
small and cute. Cooper is Bozley's emotional support dog.

I very briefly had a massive Praying Mantis. I was getting my
granddaughter from school, and the mantis was on the sidewalk.
After a bit of arguing with her, she let me pick her up. She was
probably 6 inches long. I didn't have my phone, or I would have
taken a picture of her. I tried to get a species on her, but she
didn't match any of the pictures I found.
I didn't want to bring her into my daughters house because of
her dachshund, Tony, he would have tried to eat her. When I
tried to put her down, she didn't want to leave my hand, but I
convinced her, she had to go.
My granddaughter didn't want to hold her. I teased her a bit,
and said, you'll hold mommy's snakes, but you won't hold this?
My common sense told me later, that it wasn't very smart to pick
her up, and that I was lucky she didn't go all crazy on me and
stab me with her front legs.
