When I was a teenager, we had a "blue Budgie, thingy" as you called itLOL.

As a joke, I taught it to say (amongst other things): "What a pwetty, pwetty, pwetty boy!" Which he mimicked accurately and always made us giggle. To this day, mum and I still use the saying when referring to a good-looking fella: "What a pwetty, pwetty, pwetty boy.”

We often had him out of the cage and he would always either perch on our shoulder or head around the house, that we often forgot he was there. And yes, one day I went out to the garden and didn’t realise he was still there until another bird swooped down, scared him and he flew off…never did find him.:cry

 

Oh my he is adorable, looks bright and happy. Thanks for sharing

 

Our poor Pawla was so nervous she almost went invisible

Wonderful looking dog too!

LS

 

julietbriggs, what lovely dogs. Your Pez has a broad smile, love it!...but Pepper seems "a bit down"...is she sulking because she hasn't got the ball?

Cheers

LS

 

OMG, how gorgeous! Hasn't he grown!

 

Wow Oscar has grown, they do that huh? :heli

 

he might have been a lil down, but he was also confined to a leash while Pez got to run loose.

 

Ah, huh! Sibling rivalry. Shoulda knownLOL

 

Laura your pup is just too cute!!!

 

Nice looking Chauffeur you have there, Muskie.

@ Laura:- Oscar certainly has grown fast. Too funny, him with the plastic bird. LOL

@ julietbriggs:- Good looking dogs, look like they're in great shape. I like Dobermans, too.

 

I have 5 pets or as we call them the 4 legged family members. We had only 4 but our little Taffy wondered into our back yard late one rainy night cold, wet & shivering (poor little thing). Hiding behind the garage because my 2 big dogs barking at her. So we took her in, dried her & feed her, boy was she hungry. So of course she had no tags or tattoos. Lost in this huge world in her little eyes. Days went by, checking supermarkets, pet shops & the vet’s, but not one lost dog flyer. It’s a shame that someone could abandon this poor little thin. We didn’t have the heart to take here to the animal shelter because we have been there many of times & 2 of our dogs PK & Bandit & one of our cats Diablo were from the SPCA. Then there’s Bob. That’s another story. Years ago my Daughter came home one day with this tiny battered kitten. Singed paws, broken tail & all matted up. It was an awful scene. Then these little brown eyes & a huge grin looked up at me & said can we keep him hu can we keep him. Well there was a heart melt down if anything. She didn’t care that he looked a mess & wasn’t a little cute kitten because believe me he wasn’t pretty. Little did we know that he would turn out to be 23 pounds. Now we call him blob. Our little Taffy has put on a couple of extra pounds herself over the last couple of years. The 2 large dog stay outside (Sheppard cross Elkhound PK & a Border Colley cross Sheppard Bandit) in the Minnie Mansion I call it. 4x8 dog house. It has 2 rooms, one 5x4 & the other is 3x4. The 3x4 is for cold winter night. Lots of hay & one caged 100 watt light bulb in each room for heat. Spoiled or what. But you pretty much do everything to make there as happy as possible. PK the Sheppard cross Elkhound is getting very old, over 13 years now. Deaf, hip problems & starting to go blind. It so sad that we have to think about the day we have to lay him to rest. His pain is slowly increasing but we have to think of how he feels & not the termendous joy he has brought us over the many years. Here is Diablo & Blob.

 

and PK, Bandit & Taffy.

 

Bear9090, you have a sweet family.

 

Thanks. Sweet but large. But you gotta love them.

 

Oh Bear9090, what a lovely story of how your family expanded with those four legged companions. Wish there were more such caring people in this world.

Down here, people such as yourself, become "foster parents" to orphaned/saved animals from death row. They belong to a charitable organisation that hold animals while seeking homes for them.

I think you would be an absolute sucker for such an organisation.

 

Very kind words. Thank you. The scary thing is that when the wife & I retire we will be moving to a small farm out in the country & I can’t imagine how many stay & abandon pets we will end up with.

 

We had a baby! This is Pancho, our full-blooded, 9 week-old, Long-Haired Chihuahua.
My wife decided our Boxer needed a playmate. rolleyes (More like lunch for the cat) LOL

Thanks, Laura. Here's 2 more pics, just because those others really didn't show how small he is. I already have 20 pictures of him and we just brought him home tonight. rolleyes
(And yes, the cat is not happy with me) LOL

Good sign there in the second pic muskie, the boxer is smelling instead of having an appetizer!

 

Your puppy is adorable. Man does your cat look pissed. Great pic. The pup will get hissed at & swatted a few times in the next week or so but then you’ll come around the corner & the cat will have him pinned down cleaning him from head to toe. Hopefully you have him declawed or things could get messy.

 

LOL Yes, He is de-clawed (only the front ones). I don't know about the licking part, but I am sure Pancho will get swatted a couple of times (or more) The cat swats me and our boxer all the time. LOL He thinks he's the BIG boss in the house. 12 years old and still plays like a kitten, once in a while.
It's funny watching him follow me around the house this morning and he has a tiny little yip, when I put him in his bed and leave the room. I think he's going to be a handful.
Our boxer wants to play, but is scaring the little thing. That'll change, too, I'm sure.

 

Oh my Musk, your baby is sooo cute, those pictures are adorable, your cat is definitely not happy

 

Thanks, Darlene. (The cat is already paying me back. Just found a big hairball on the kitchen floor) :tas

 

Dan always finds those with his bare feet and he's a gager

That is funny Laura, little sick but funny

 

HI! Been awhile, huh! I'm baby sitting this afternoon for my 2 yr old grandson Casey, I have another grandaughter ( Sophie) who is 18 mos. Meghan, who is your daughters age s growing fast, as they all do, she thinks she is 18! She is into Irish Dance now, which is tonite, and loves it. Me, I am volunteering at the Red Cross Disaster services, and after a minor heart problem last year am doing well. Take care, maybe catch you later.

 

Our cat Barney, named after the big purple dinosaur. He did have his name before we got him!

My parents live out in the sticks in Wales, we often used to pick up stray cats that were dumped. We became an unofficial cat sanctuary, would get help paying to have the cats spayed/neutered but would never let any leave for other homes. When it was cold, there used to be a furry carpet in front of the fire. At one stage, we had 21 cats living with us, the poor dog was hopelessly out numbered.

 

Cute cat pics. Love the one with him in with the stuffed animals

 

Thanks, he has his cute moments, not long after that photo he decided to stretch out. I came back shortly after that photo to find most of the stuffed bears all over the floor!

 

Hey real cute pup you have there, Muskie. Looks like he's smaller than my Hamster, lol!.

@ Rex:- I had to look twice to see the cat's face in amongst that lot - nice pics.



P.S.:- (Hi Twinny, nice to hear from you again. Good that you are still enjoying your grandchildren.)

 

OK, just had to post updated pics of the pup. He is getting along well in the "Land of Giant Animals."
These were today. He will be 3 months old tomorrow.
