Lynn you weren’t supposed to notice that! LOL

He is a handsome boy- but one who isn’t liking this heat! He does love a swim in the river though

Thanks for the update on Jabari, Lynn! I remember the pick you did when you were hoping your landlord would let you get him and how it had such a happy ending…..He is such a handsome boy! Hmmmmmm That isn’t one of your children’s leg bones in the last photo, is it? ROTFLOL Sorry, I have a very weird sense of humor…..

And here is one from yesterday. He was engaged in his 2nd favourite pastime (his first being chewing my good leather shoes!).

Sorry about the extra post- for some reason I can only do 2 photos at a time.

Aso some would know, I have an amazingly gorgeous Kelpie x Border Collie called Jabari (Swahili for Valient).

Ja-Ja is 7 months old now and is a terror LOL

He is my shadow and my protector and I would not cope without him anymore.

The first piccy is from the day after we got him and the 2nd piccy is when he was about 4 months old.

Little Round Chick, great stories about your pets! I feel the same way, I couldn’t live without dogs and I feel that rescuing a dog is the best thing a person can do. I would never have a purebred anything, not because I don’t like them but because I feel a rescue is way more important. And these rescues for us have always turned out better than we could imagine!!

WOW! Pet Lovers Unanimous. Like all of you I have a pair of pets, a dog named Merlin and a cat named Gomez. Gomez is black and white and all decked out in formal attire. I named him after Gomez Addams…Adams? what ever. He and Merlin are both rescue animals, Merlin from the streets and Gomez from a family with cat allergies. We had two other cats, Rover and Rosebud aka Rosepudge. Rover was a red mackerel tabby. He was 15 years old and had to be put down after he started having seizures. Pudge was a chunky calico and queen of the critters. She had to put down, also, because of some weird lung disease that made breathing very difficult. We have no idea what the problem was just than her lungs were almost totally opaque. My vet said she had never seen anything like it. Merlin was the last to move into the house. He is very pack oriented and immediately assumed the position of low man on the totem pole. We have absolutely no idea what breeds are in his background. However, he is a beautiful bronze color with matching eyes, white toes with freckles, a bushy tail like a fox white tip and all. He’s about 55 lbs. and a true companion animal.

I can’t imagine not having pets. Some of my earliest memories are of the family cats. I even had a cat when we were living in the Philippines. She was a local street kitten who grew up to be a Holy Terror. She was black and inclined to behave outrageously.

Yes, I believe there is! We all have open and loving hearts — both are needed to be creative and to nurture another living being.

It’s so encouraging to read of all the rescued pets!! So many beaders seem to be very attached to their pets: is there a connection between creativity and our love of animals?

That’s so funny, Donna! We have 1 granddog — Daisy, and 4 grandcats — Wuzzy, Oscar, Max, and Houdini. Daisy was my grandmother’s dog and my daughter & son-in-law promised her they would take Daisy (a black lab mix) when my grandmother passed. That was in 2001. Daisy went from living with a 91 yr old Senior to a household that now has 3 little girls (3 1/2 yrs, 1 1/2 yrs, 4 mos) and 4 cats. She adjusted beautifully to it all and also gets along wonderfully with our little Shelby. And yes, Daisy was a rescued dog, too!
