2 dogs, a frog, a fish, and a tarantula.

My dogs are my buddies, always by my side, whether I like it or not.

I'll get pics here soon, at least of my doggies.

Collie mix, female, named Muffin.
Been with me since she was a puppy.
These pics are from her prime. She's almost 15 now...




She sleeps a lot these days.
She perked up big time when the snows came though. She must have some husky in her lineage.

Currently one cat... 2 and a alf years old Clarence

and 1 mixed breed houndy/shephard 2 year old Sandy.

Both have issues as they were abused/abandoned and we adopted them form the shelter Trace used to work at. Clarence is nobody's pet... ( thatta boy!) and Sandy tolerates me but her world clearly revolves around Trace's every move.

1 Dog, 1 Hamster

Here's my Lucy - we rescued her from a shelter in Granbury, TX, chow/retreiver mix.

In the background you can see Sammy's cage (hamster)

My dog Shadow, is a black lab. We rescued her from the pound, she was taken there once, adopted, then returned back a second time, and was supposed to be "put down" the week we found her. Great dog too, I can't understand at all why nobody would keep her, very protective of all of us and our house overall. I named her Bear first but changed it to Shadow because she follows me everywhere, always, constantly, just like my shadow.

Our other dog Chopper is a Shepard/Doberman mix, another great dog. Found him in the dead of winter last year wandering beside a major 4 lane road. Put out the word all the right ways trying to find his owner, but he was never claimed, so he became part of the family. Named him Chopper because it just seems to fit.

Theres is no story about the Tarantula. The most I've had at one time is 7, now I'm down to this one. Its a bright orange, pretty color, but mean as hell.

I'm still working on the pictures, of the dogs anyway.

I'll have to scan in a picture of my Boston Terrier, Jake.

Man, pets are really a wonder. I always tell people in recovery about my dog and how he got me through when I was down and out. I lost my job, I felt lower-than low, felt like my friends had abondoned me..... yet I still had my mutt there loving me unconditionally.

The name man's best friend is well earned

I still live with my parents so they are more like family pets than just mine. We have 1 dog and 2 cats. The dog is half lab and half husky and i dont know what the cats are but they are both all black. The one cat is pretty much mine, im the only one who feeds her, she sleeps with me every night and she pretty much follows me around the house when shes not sleeping. The other cat is the complete opposite, she doesnt really bother with anyone and pretty much just keeps to herself, shes weird.
