Eyesore

2 Shelties- Lucy and Jack
Aussie Shepherd & Cattle Dog mix- Zoe
Bichon & Beagle mix- Pupper, we're taking care of her for my mom, who is ill

Qt Pi- Guinea Pig, but looks like Lucy's puppy


I also take a client (with Down's Syndrome) of mine to walk dogs for the Heaven Can Wait animal sanctuary. You might've seen them on Dog Whisperer, they send dogs to be socialized with inmates at the womens prison here in Nevada.

Ladies and Gentlemen...Tiggy.  He lives outside mostly and hangs out on our deck.  He was originally an indoor cat but his spraying got him banished to mostly an outside existence.  He's a good boy though.  I think he's about 7 or 8. 
Ahhh territorial spraying.
You could get him neutered, which should solve the spraying problem. Lots of shelters do it for free or for a reduced price. Cute cat btw :)

I used to have a dog before my mother gave her away.  I guess it was for the good, since she couldn't live with my fiancee and I. 

Anyway, I do have a couple cats (one kitten).



Blackie



Lisa

We just got Lisa a few days ago.  She's driving Blackie insane.   :teddyr:

Got a cat which seems to want to p**s at the back door all the time.  Other than that she's a cutie, though somewhat schizophrenic.  She doesn't like to be picked up, though that's probably only because my girlfriend tends to use her as a weapon, throwing her around for fun. The cat gets her revenge by giving us sneak scratch attacks every now and then, but for the most part she's pretty happy to snuggle up.

She's pretty small still though, even at 1 and a bit years old.

Amazing dogs!  We have a Cattle dog/Rottweiler cross.  "Intrepid"  She's a tank but quick and smart. She plays with our Miniature Dachshund (Tim) and our Labrador (Lucy the lunatic) has taught her to fetch and swim (which she does, but out of some sense of obligation, it seems)

Ver cool.  I know people who have people with special needs out to walk their Miniature Horses.  It is an awesome programme: they can show the horses too.

Eyesore

You're right Newt, they are really smart! It's funny how different that Zoe is from the Shelties; The Shelties use their paws to "herd" you by smacking your ankles to get you to go where they want, and Zoe uses little nips with her front teeth on your upper legs.

I'm so proud of my clients, they are really good people. We were on local TV last week, and they did sooo well. I on the other hand, meh!

Just posted a video of the two.  You hear my voice in it.  I think my laugh sounds kinda strange...  :buggedout:

Gotcha.
From own experience, our cat stopped spraying after he got neutered. Our other cat who isn't doesn't spray but rubs its scent all over the place with its head.
Both are outdoors cats during the summer, but sadly one has been MIA for over a week now. I hope he will find his way home because its starting to get very cold at night around these parts  :bluesad:

Our cat's fixed and he still tries to spray all the time.  Just nothing comes out  :teddyr:  He also tries to sharpen his claws on everything, even though he hasn't got any.

That cat is my girl, Kookoohead, who passed away in April at 16 years.  She had grown up with a Scottie, would wrestle and sleep with the Scottie (Scottish Terrier) so she was well used to dogs when the Jack Russel and Beagle came along after the Scottie died in 1998.  She had her claws, and was at ease even with particularly small aggressive terriers.  Everybody got along just fine.   :smile:   I miss my girl.  :bluesad:
