We've got pictures of players and their vehicles - I figured it's time to share pics of your family that aren't quite human....though some of us have relatives that you wouldn't consider human that really are....>.> *I think one of my uncles is actually related to a wookie....*
I'll start.
This is, Sandy. First born of six. 3 boys and 3 girls.
She's 16 weeks old. Mother was half hound - half beagle, and the dad was a corgi.
She's one of three dogs (I'll post the other two later) that we have plus a cat.
We call her Sandy because her mother had dug a hole in the sand and you can guess the rest. We were able to move the mother into her dog house before she plopped the rest into the hole. :P
We got lucky. She was naturally potty trained, we didn't have to teach her "fetch" - she just does it lol, and it took 1 try to teach her sit, shake and kiss.
I was a little wary about keeping one of the puppies but I'm glad we did. I'm so darned attached to this pup. I won't lay down until she's in the bed with us.

Last Monday I had to put my black lab down. He had cancer which is fairly common in the breed.
He was getting old like me. He was a retired hunter, sharp on commands, my best friend.
I sure miss Zeke!

That dog looks like a cartoon :)
Hurrah!
The photo of him sleeping is fantastic :)

Haha.
Yeah she sleeps with her tongue out for some reason.
I forgot some of her little "tricks" - all of which it took one try for her to learn.
She knows:
Sit
Shake
Kiss
Load up (Get in the car/truck)
Unload (Get our of the car)
Go bed (Go to bed, it's sleep time)
Come
And fetch.

That sucks. I don't know what I'd do if I had to put her down. It's been a long time since I've been this attached to an animal.
Her and my Husky are some of the only family I have left. I love the mama dog too, but she just doesn't click with me like those two.

We are trying to get her to Miami next week to spend the summer with the family there....I'll visit a couple of times throughout the summer.
American Airlines will not allow a dog to travel in the hold if the temperature at the destination is 82 degrees or higher so we bought the biggest tried and tested dog carrier for her to try and get her into the cabin. It will be up to the person who is at check-in as to wether she will be able to go.
As a precaution I made a call to someone who works at a private jet company here and now have "feelers" out for any group who is flying on a private jet to South Florida who might be willing to take our dog. Turns out there was one, but it was leaving today....Grrrrr. We couldn't get organised in time. Hopefully another will crop up.
Quite a girl, she may fly private while we all struggle in commercial economy class.

Sorry to hear this shuff,It's always tough to do but at least we make the call when they are suffering.
I have an old girl that's healthy but has a touch of arthritis,when she's real stiff I give her 1/2 an aspirin and she seems to perk up. I know I don't have much time left with her so I tend to spoil her a bit more than the younger 1.
The day she cant get up and move will be the day I say good bye to her,I cant stand to see them suffer.I hate it when owners are too selfish to put a dog down when it's suffering. Lucky we have that choice with our animals,too bad we cant do the same with people!

I can say without reservation and in all honesty that some furkids (critters / pets whatever ya want to call them)
can be far better family than the regular 2 legged kind. We love them almost as much as the regular kids and get just as much back from them every day.
This is Lucy. She is in her stealth attack mode in the picture. She was a stray and had some health issues that we got her past in 02. She made a huge difference in our family life and fit right in when she got here. The most common description I used to tell folks about her was that she was 2.5 feet of dog and 3 feet of tongue. It almost never stayed in her mouth, ever. She knew exactly that her place to sleep was at the foot of the bed and would wait patiently for us to get up in the morning. Later on we ended up waking her up to get out of bed. She traveled with us from 04 until this month.
On the 4th of June we had to take her to the vet to be put to sleep. She had been going deaf for about a year, had other problems but hung in there. In May she started to go blind. She got an infection we were dealing with but then had a seizure and lost almost all of the rest of her sight. She couldn't stand being in the dark and quiet like that and pretty much just gave up. To stop her suffering, and in all honesty more to stop mine from watching her, we took her to the vet and held her when she went to sleep. I've gone to family members funerals and had less sadness by far. The worst was the way it got to the wife. The hardest thing I've ever had to do is take a pet to be put down. I sure wish someone could do the same for me when I get that bad in the future.

This is Hector. He's 11 now. I've had him since rescue at 6 weeks old. I have no doubt, had I not gotten him, I wouldn't be typing this right now.

Sorry to hear about this, we are going through a similar thing now with my wifes seeing eye dog a female black lab called Whisper.
We have had some test results back but they want to do more next month before making a decision.

Im sorry dude. I went thru it myself and never really got over it. This is my Cayenne. We were so close I told my wife when Im gone to spread my ashes where I spread his. A farm we used to hunt birds together. As I held him for a final time I told him we'd be together again and I always keep my promises.

We had a pair of ferrets. I got them when my wife was going through chemo / radiation therapy. They were a great source of amusement for her while she was recuperating. Anything to help her laugh and get away from the cancer and it worked. Slinky and Blondie went to live with one of the grandkids when we went on the road and had a great time at their house too.

Our GSD Bailey, He was a rescue and one very sick puppy when we got him. His ears were actually up until he managed to pick up a secondary internal infection after getting rid of his initial parasites. So now he has gull wing ears :lol. He's 8 now and very healthy for a GSD his age, European stock helps quite a bit I'm sure. He get's dropped off at my mom's house when me and my wife go to work, "doggy daycare" :D. My mom who was always a big dog lover, wouldn't have it any other way. She'll worry about him being bored :lol. We don't have any kids, so this is as close as we get.
Shuff, sorry to hear about your lab. I know it's tough and takes a while to get over. I've been there with my last dog, a GSD/Collie mix which ended up with bone cancer and had to be put down, took me a long time to get over that.

Cool Mav!
Sorry to hear about Lucy,it is always tough but you did what you had to. A few years back I got a beautiful Staffie,she was a rare redsmut color and came from champion lines. Needless to say I paid alot of money for her but thats not the point. When she was about 2 she developed epilepsy and started having seizure. They were frightening to see happen and it look longer and longer for her to recover from each event. So sad to see her have to look around to find things like her food bowl or the door. We tried everything to save her but nothing worked so much like you I made the decision to put her to sleep and held her as she passed.
Wasnt easy but my dogs have always deserved the best I can give and I'd make the decision again when the time comes for the girls I have now!

Minnie the Transvestite Cockatiel.
She has been in my family for five years after my previous parrot Artu (named after R2-D2) was killed after a kitchen fire forced my dad to run outside with Artu on his shoulder, Artu, spooked by the flames flew off. There was a storm later that night that a domesticated bird could not survive. Mom, decided that she couldn't live without a parrot in the house. And so we found this little monster.
We had several to chose from, boys and girls. We had to pick one.
The boys whistled and looked striking while the girls sat composed socialising with eachother, interacting with us when approached but paying us no mind... except one.
The most colourful of the girls, and the biggest of them, and as it would seem the most energetic, wandered over the kitchen surface, engineered a wierd semi assisted jump and landed on mums stomach .... WHILE STANDING. She then proceeded to rocket climb UP mum and then CLIMBED DOWN her shoulder and start furiously wrestling with her wedding ring. While doing that she noticed dads watch, JUMPED FROM PERSON TO PERSON. And then began trying to chew the strap. When we swatted her... she immediately ran up arms and started talking to us, whistling and so on.
It was no contest who we chose to take home.
We asked why she was so colourful as guys are generally the only ones with significant colour. She is a Pied, meaning she has male feathers but a female anatomy... so we named her Minnie the Tranny. And the name has stuck.
She and I were rivals for mums attention most of the time, and she became that, annoying little sister no one likes...
Then mum died of a Heart attack and Minnie and I were left together with only eachother for company (besides dad, who minnie REALLY doesn't like), SHe is my little birdie, and now my best friend. And treats me like every woman treats a young teenager with a fast mouth and an attitude... contempt.
