I chose a fox because when I used to go out trailriding on my beloved horse Tootie, this little fox would magically appear. She/he would trot on ahead and then stop and wait for us like it was leading us on. So I thought that this little fox was leading me on to health and better days. Growing up I always wanted a horse so bad. I used to watch Boomtown, Furie, My Friend Flicka and The Lone Ranger (this REALLY dates me). I didn't get my horse until I was 41 but she's the most wonderful horse I could have. Just tonight I was taking my saddle pads out of the clothes dryer and holding them to my nose for a precious smell. She knows everything about me and I know everything that she will do. We have 2,000 acres to ride in together
and it's just so special. We take care of each other. How can I possible be so blest? But this little fox has dissappeared from our rides. I think the coyotes got him. Still, he lives on as my guide - for me and Tootie.

Have changed mine now from Bambi ( the horse ) to a Bagpuss character called Lizzie Mouse. ( do you get Bagpuss in the US or Oz ? - it's from the 70's and it was my favourite programme when I got back from playschool. Just saw it the other day - and had to have it as my new avatar.

Will put mills and daisy on soon - because I know they are desperate to be famous !!!!

Hey Bambino, thanks for the info on the avitar will see what I can come up with in the next few weeks. That's a great idea using favorite cartoon characters, don't recall seeing the Bagpuss series here in the US. Think I watched Top Cat and Felix the Cat - I used to love watching cartoons - still do.

Catch ya later,
Spacie

my favorite pets are my woodducks, a pair, and cuddly they are!! I think YaH has seen a picture of at least one of them. Also my little sparrow, who spends most of her time on my shoulder.

My avitar is of my sadie girl,
We rescued her from the local animal shelter. Sadie is our third dog in the past 17 years. My Tippy died two years ago of old age she was 15 a german shepard who was my life. Her buddy winnie the poop died a year this october at 12 years of age of a heart attack. we lasted two weeks and found Sadie, she is the first dog that we have adopted. But I can't forget my two cats harley and shadow. they were 20 and 18 when they died and I missed them every day. In the past two years we have lost 2 dogs and 2 cats and think it was hardest on winnie because she was the only one left out the four of them before she died suddenley. We said we were not going to get another animal, but!!! like I said two weeks later SADIE!!!
I don't think I could ever live without a four legged friend, thanks for starting this thread xtexen it is nice to hear other stories about our 4 legged BEST friends.

You're right, Ter, I have seen a pic of one of your woodducks!! My kitties are so ill-behaved about having their pics taken, although divine in other ways.

Oh, I neglected to mention earlier that Mr. Monty's OTHER name is SIR POOPS-A-LOT. Besides eating and meowing for loving, his other favorite activity is, well.......

Thanks Patti, your so very welcome.

I have been blessed all my life, with having dogs as my companions. The only one that I ever bought as a puppy, was probably the one I was closest to. He was a pedigreed chocolate Labrador Retriever from Field Champion lineage. Unfortunately, he had epilepsy, but that didn't keep him from being a great companion out in the field. He never ever left my side, and would defend me against anything or anybody he sensed might hurt me. I had to put him down at six years old when he developed an aggressive cancer.

The rest either arrived out here where I live, looking for help, or I found in dire circumstances like Katie.

I remember all my dogs so fondly. Seems like its been a gift I have had since I can remember, that I understand them, and they understand me. I just can't understand why some people get them, and then dump them like they are throwing them away or something. Just can't understand that sort of thinking or behavior in humans.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Lisa, love your kitties and all the other animals on the posts, I've had dogs and cats and now, sadly, many ashes later we really can't do anything, so we are waiting for our 3 year old daughter to get a little bigger and for our space to as well. Love the cats and the dogs but the kitties are a bit easier (usually)!!! All of your pets are awesome and I wish I had room for one right now. :upset:

I have five dogs; all rescues. They are the best. I can't imagine life without my pooches. The one you see is my three-legged baby boy, Napoleon.

Poochpal Dalmation

Poochpal. She is a gem. I've never had dalmations myself, but several of my friends have also rescued them and love them dearly.

My little guy

Couldn't resist adding my best friend!!! He has been a life safer thru all this!! Haven't been on board for a bit, but doing well!! The most drinking in a week has been a couple beers, and honestly a couple!!! The w/d from the benzo's made all the difference for me!! Unreal, that was the culprit in my case!!! Love seeing all your 4 legged friends!!!!

I luv this thread. I am animal mad.
I chose the cow because it reminds me of the 3 we had when I was growing up.
At the moment I have one dog (a mad doggy from the pound) and several chooks.
My last dog died a couple of years ago (old age and cancer at 17) and my crazy cat passed away the same year (18 years old). The cats name was Fatcat (and yes it did suit her).
Mojomuppet I luv the pic. It has great character.
I have a great pic of my dog running around with a pot over her head (she put it there herself!). So when I figure out how to put it here I will.
