Ever Wonder What Your Pets Do When You're at Work?

Well, get a load of this:

Is that a drink on my couch?

A new breed--the Rainbow Lab:

Thought it might be fun to start a thread where folks could post photos of their pets. A little levity is good for the soul.

We leave our window open so our cats can come and go. We have a bunch of strays we feed outside (feral) that are terrified of people.

I came home early one day right after a rainstorm to find all 7 stray feral cats camped out in my apartment. One on the stove, another two in the bathroom, the rest were lazing it on *my* bed with *my* cats!

When they saw me, the bolted for the window en masse, it was like a keystone kops routine. I didn't stop laughing for ten minutes.
And MY two cats acted incredibly offended, as if I'd busted up their private party!

They r my gifts in recovery...

Our dog Annie was a gift of sobriety, she was given to me shortly after I came into the program by a woman from my home group. She'd only let me have her on the condition that she got along well with my kids, suffice it to say it was "licks at first sight";-)

She was pretty mischevious while I was at work. Every day I'd come home to find something new chewed up. One day she shredded up a few of my favorite astronomy books and dumped a meditation book in the turtle pond, then she started taking my daughters stuffed animals out through the dog door to use as chew toys. Lol. I'd scold her but it always made me smile on the inside. Shortly after that I put her on an overhead trolley/leash that allowed her to go in and out of the house. She was always a constant companion on camping trips and at paintball games, I loved how playful she could be.

A few weeks ago on the day we were coming back from a trip to Ohio I got a call from my GF who was coming by to feed her. Our beloved Annie had died in a tragic accident, we came home that day and put her to rest. Eventually we'll open our hearts to a new companion, but for now she still fills us up with some great memories of the two years we had with her.

Thanks ITFM! My 9 year old daughter put together a nice little memory box of Annie, it looks like a doghouse and she's filled it with photos of our times together. I'm sorry for your loss too, we become so attached to our pets and the love that we share that the losses are never easy. Just like in recovery though, we heal and mend with the passage of time.

I don't even want to know what my pup's up to while I'm at work! I'd either be seriously mad or seriously jealous! But I know he's at his happiest when he's on a car ride with me. It's a cell phone pic, but he's still a cutie.

If you like DOGS, you're gonna LOVE this one.

Dog Philosophy


The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
-Anonymous

Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.
-Ann Landers

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
-Will Rogers

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
-Ben Williams

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
-Josh Billings



The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.
-Andy Rooney

We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare.
And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.
-M. Acklam

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people,
who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.
-Sigmund Freud

I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult.
-Rita Rudner

A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance,
and to turn around three times before lying down.
-Robert Benchley









Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog.
-Franklin P. Jones

If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known
will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.
-James Thurber

If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise
-Unknown

My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can.
That's almost $21.00 in dog money.
-Joe Weinstein

Ever consider what our dogs must think of us?
I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul,
chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!
-Anne Tyler

Women and cats will do as they please,
and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
-Robert A. Heinlein


If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you;
that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
-Mark Twain

You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says,
'Wow, you're right! I never would've thought of that!'
- Dave Barry

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
-Roger Caras

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket
and then give him only two of them.
-Phil Pastoret

My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am.
