I grew up with cats and son wants one really bad. Thinking when this thing gets settled, I might get one.

Two birds--one of which is exactly like my avatar--Piper, a Nanday conure, and Spike a cinnamon cockatiel.

Penny the Pomeranian-5 years old (named after a semi famous dead relative that I can't wait to dig up :-) )

Roxy Boxy-2 years old, thinks that she is a lap puppy.

Moe Boxer- almost 3, my Huggie Guy.

Two kitties, Fisher (15) and Smokey (3) that will be staying with stbx :-(

I love my babies.

My two Shih Tzu's, Louie and Lola are so wonderful. I could not imagine not having them with me during this time. They are so happy to see me when I come home, they give me a reason to keep on going, when I am feeling low.

I know there happy to see me when I come home and they wee on my shoes!! Now that's love.

I have a big beautiful baby girl. She's my doggy. i love her so much and really she's the best companion to hold while crying. She fidgets after a while, then get up, but hey, for a while she hold me too. She really doesn't understand why I cry, but i see it in her face her tears too.

yeah i love my 2 cats, sam and jasmine. but i especially love jasmine only cause i got her, take care of her , bring her to the vet , talk to her, liter box changes, etc. and we are close. sam is wonderful too but he was my stbx's idea in the middle of marriage troubles last fall. i got suckered into getting a 2nd cat. i love sam too but if push comes to shove and i have to choose, this may sound terrible but i want jasmine with me. he can take sam. i dont want to seperate them but their not like the children , ya know . and besides whereever i end up may not want 2 cats.

I had a chihuahauh Sp? named Mia too. Best dog ever!

I had two dogs. Bj and Indy and a cat, tux. I got pictures on my profile page.

She took one of my dogs and dangles him over my head when she feels like it.

Bones my 19 year old feline baby, Puddles my 12 year old canine girl, and Frank my 11 year old feline big boy...if it wasn't for them, some days it would have been hard to get out of bed. They give me a reason to come home when they are all piled by the door waiting for me because they heard the car in the driveway...where else can you get such unconditional love and loyalty...if people were only so loyal and loving there would be no divorces :)

8 year old dog -
2 year old cat -
Helped greatly at my lowest point.

My best friend and loyal companion.. my 13 year old Aussie Shep X died just over a month ago.

We got him when I was pregnant with my first child.. he was a rescue dog. He got me through a lot of lows, always there for me.. in the last years he was depressed......I only realized this after the divorce.. he became a pup again.. all happy and lively again.. much like me and the children. The stress was gone.

I miss him so much. My eldest daughter was distraught. She begged me that I would never bring a pet into the house.
I have to honour her wish.

He was irreplaceable.. a vital member of our family.

Just so you know. he was healthy.. looked lean and lovely...everyone said he looked like he was only 6.. so young looking. The Vet was impressed at his condition... his poor heart just gave out... he was a damn great dog.

My 15 y/o greyhound passed away in my arms this year. We were best buds, we were able to "talk" to each other.

My 4 1/2 lb. teacup party poodle "Lady"...was a rescued dog...she's so thankful to be in my care and her affection and adoration are constant.

Mostly growing up I've had Boxers and Shepards & one bull mastiff named King Tut LOL
Then a Siamese silver point named Pyewacket...
