Sushi also sleeps in our room. She has a bed on the floor next to ours but more often than not she hops up and sleeps with us! She very much thinks she is a human - she won't drink water out of a bowl, it has to be a glass! She is always calling out to us to follow her - she's a real chatterbox. At night she sometimes gets really playful and will start flicking things around the room and jumping on and off the bed - attention seeker much??
Sorry I'm not a LTTTCer but I thought I'd share my story because she really is my baby too! They really are more than just pets. They are a part of the family and I reckon furbabies are better than most humans - they don't talk back!
Loops, you can tell the way you describe them that you love animals. My DH was more of a dog person...then he became 'stepfather' to my first 2, Missy and Milo...then he 'got one of his own' Logan! Now he's definately just 'dad' I still think he loves the dog, Dakota more though...but he'll deny it!
Calin...Suave, cool name and I love dogs with overbites!!!! They look soooo cute!!!! and sometimes a little dopey! whenever DH or I arrive home, Dakota's at the door waiting with her tail beating a rhythm on the wall in anticipation....which is great when DH has come off nightshift and it's 6am!!
Hollym ... thank you so much for popping in, I'm sure at the beginning of this thread if I look back that someone else has a cat called Sushi, great name!!
There's been another cat who's been sneaking in her cat flap at night to pinch her food It leaves such a mess too - food all over the laundry floor. Last night I was lying on the couch and Sushi was lying above me on the back of the couch facing the cat flap and all of a sudden she starts screeching and hissing and bolts to the cat flap. The other cat had popped its head in but quickly took off when it saw we were down here lol! So cunning!
We have two little poodles (cross between toy and mini) -they are brothers- and honestly they are spoilt rotten and treated like our kids. We bought poodles as DH has allergies and they don't shed. I think we both though poodles would be a bit soft to be honest but they are so full of energy and mischief and into everything!
I walk them each morning and they leap up ready to go as soon as I am out of bed.
They have distinctly different personalities. Oscar is black and tan and very handsome (he gets lots of comments) and he is pretty obsessive (DH says he is a bit like his mummy...what me? no way!) and loves to retrieve balls and toys etc over and over and over... he is also a big cuddler, and a sook and loves to lay on his back in our arms and be cuddles like a baby.
Charlie is blonde and aften looks a bit dishevelled. He also has an underbite, with his little row of teeth always sticking out.
He is more laid back and a real rascal, always 'talking' and getting Oscar to chase him around the house. He also loves stealing socks and plays with them like a cat would (we think maybe he was a cat in a past life). Of course he is a big cuddler too, and he is the smallest of the two, but has asserted his dominance over Oscar.
They cuddle with us on the bed, and sometimes lay with their heads up on the pillow next to us like little people They have their own beds of course for sleeping, but we are just so soft with them...sometimes we look at each other and say how it feels like our hearts could break with how much we love our dogs. How must it feel to have a baby to love?

ahhh Possums they sound adorable!! Poodles are supposed to be soooo intelligent too! I read that they were more so than border collies. I used to look after a little old black one in a previous life, and it was so cute. I love the idea of not-shedding! with 3 cats and a dog....
I know what you mean re. looking at the furbabies sometimes and looking at your DH and going ahhhhhhhhhhh hearts melting everywhere!
