Not sure if I'm allowed to post a non LTAC post in this forum....but I thought of it because I often read people's signatures and notice they mention their furbabies. I'm often curious, so will introduce mine, and would love to hear about yours.
I have 3 cats, Milo, Mischief (Missy) and Logan, and an almost 4yr old chocolate lab Dakota. Milo is the chilled one, Missy gets bullied by the other 2 cats but takes the dog on!, Logan is the most cat like (has servants, not owners) and Dakota's a daddy's girl. The most gorgeous personality, and just waiting for some playmates (she tries to play occassionally with Missy...who puts her in her place!)
We have our Furbaby Jaz who is a 4 year old foxy x. Jaz is a special-needs dog. She was rescued from a puppy farm where she suffered horrific abuse and has severe permanent emotional and psychological issues as a result and requires a lot of patience. She has been here with us in her forever home for 2 years now and has settled in and claimed her kingdom. She's not all too pleased about the upcoming prospect of having to share me with a little brother or sister, but I'm sure she'll be ok once bubba arrives.
I think your post fits into LTTC well, I think there are a lots of LTTCer's with furbabies. My furbabies are 'the kids' to me! I can't even describe how much I love them, I imagine it's what a mother's love for their child is like.
Your babies sound a lot like mine. B is the dog - she is a daddy's girl 100%. We have two cats K & A - K is a 2 year old male and he's just like your Logan - he was put on this earth to look beautiful and be waited on. A is just a baby, 6 month old girl and she is a terror, super affectionate but so naughty. (sorry for the initials only, not many people IRL know about out TTC history so I didn't want to make it obvious who I am)
Life is definately not boring with our three around.
Give your babies a cuddle from me, they sound lovely and you sound very proud of them
infinity - thanks for sharing...I know what you mean re. anonyminity ?sp? but I've probably given myself away if anyone I know read this forum. I mean no harm by anything I say, but I'm always hugely honest, so might be best if noone I know reads it! Like you say, life's never boring with all those extra heartbeats in the house!!
Hollym...Sushi..love that name for a cat!!!! I love the cat out of Bob The Builder...Pilchard! cool name. I actually like Logan and Dakota for human names, so now kinda wish I'd not used them for my furbabies!!
BOC..good on you to rescue!!! That's so awesome. We rescued Logan...he soooo saw us coming!!! Rescued in Scotland, then emmigrated to this warm climate!! Congrats on your future addition!
where are my 2ww regulars?? Londonmiss, loops12, coral73 and Nix76....I know you all have beloved furbambinos.... it's you guys that made me think of this thread!!
They are all big brothers and sisters - in - waiting
Sorry - work interrupted my 8 hours of BB and google symptom surfing
With the exception of DH, furbaby is light of my life... she's an 8 month golden/ white lab and when she grows up (if) she'll be a customs dog - assuming she passes her exams. They take them back when they are 1 so be prepared to offer me LOTS of support/ red wine in Feb when I blubb for the whole month.
She's nearly in season for the first time, has taken to ripping my arm out my socket when she sees a young male lab... sprints across the road for a flirt. She also hates it when I cry and licks my face and brings me Mr Chicken (her favourite toy. Which is actually a duck, but lets not dwell on detail)
Great idea for a thread, nice to talk about stuff with no BT, deadlines etc etc!
Just had friends over for dinner and they have spent the whole evening criticising my dog. Which of course, I have taken as a criticism of me and my 'parenting'. I am quite outraged and miffed and my nose is out of joint. Why do people do this????!!! grr
We had a lady behind us complain this morning about our 2 pups we have at the moment that we are trying to sell. She went off her nut at DH apparently (i wasnt home) saying that she has called the Shire, saying they bark all the time (which is totally untrue because I am home a lot), that we have too many because we have two dogs as well (the parents) and that their yard is too small. We lock them up in a yard type thing only when we are at work and then we let them out for heaps of play time. It upsets me so much because I think I look after them so well - they are my babies, and what could we do. We can't stop them from barking if we are not there and we are trying to sell them or give them away, we arent going to dump them - ohh it makes me mad and upset
Londonmiss-- Oh I also hate it if people criticise my dogs...and also have some friends who aren't dog people at all, and really shy away from them, which I also find hard to understand. sorry you had a bad time
loops- that's a tough situation...as you say, you are doign your best! And I am sure you look after them very well. some people have no understanding
Our Furbabies...
