OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

Furbaby names? I once had a dog named Binky because he would suck his tail.  A Turkish friend named a kitten for me Abdu, which he said meant friend.  I thought that appropriate. I named our current dog Yoyo because just before we got him I had heard an interview with Yoyo Ma where he said in Chinese that yo means friend. When I told a Chinese friend about my new puppy he confirmed that and told me that in Chinese when they double a name it means most honored and beloved one of that attribute Yoyo is a shitzu!  Also once had a dog named Tiger just because he was.  

Competition for best pet's name? Not sure of prize will think of something.

Cute puppy!!  Also the pic of the cat and chicken!  Lol

OK, Furbabies ... I have cats Mini (baby) and Rex (brat).  I rotated the pic for Mini, but when I selected it here it reset back to sideways!?!  Sorry about that!! 

We had furbaby cats Coco (suited the name ... think Coco Chanel), Thumper (named for Bambi's bunny friend for jumping ability, but literally grew into the name ... lol), Brewie (tortoiseshell), Sheba (queen), Shadow (scared of his), Boots (the tough cat), Kitty (died too young for a name), Mickey (I, II, III ... all black & white like Rex the brat)!

Yeah, we did get snow.  We are estimating about 8 feet or more.  It is hard as rock as it has frozen right down.  It was about -35 last night (??? It's almost March???  What is with this winter?)

Enjoy your Sunday folks!

Yikes Northern! That is cold.

We had dogs: Tiki, Tasha, Kiko and cats: PC, Feliz, Samantha, Marmalade, HP,  Lola, Mocca and a couple years ago whose names I can't remember. 

Probably 6-7 foster dogs who came with names and 10-15 foster cats most of whom came with names. We get to name the stray cats who come into the shelter. We observe the cat for a while and find a name that fits it's personality.

spookie, your furbaby looks very pretty all groomed. Was it easy getting her to pose?

I have 3 dogs. They are Widgeon, Mason and Ziggy.

SDB, tell us about the fur baby in your avatar?

He's a cutie, but I can't guess what he is.

When we adopted him they told us he was gs/chow mix. The test came back as Jack Russell Terrier and Pug as his main breeds. Distant breeds are Alaskan Malamute, Rottweiler and Australian Shepherd. Yes, he is about 50#. I never would have guessed those breeds.

Our senior center director has a pug/beagle/dachound mix who looks a lot like him. I'd guess he's only about 30lbs tho and probably shorter. Our shepherd collie mix had pups that looked like that.

I guess you never know what you're gonna get when you have so many breeds mixed together. He sure is a good dog though. We also have a 14 year old Rat Terrier and a 12 year old large, lazy cat.

phooey!   Heart dog

I told this story before......i watched my daughter's 2 children while she worked....she had a dog for years....it was a boxer, and at the point I am referring to he was 6 years old......

At one point he began to stand by my side constantly.....no matter where I was, what room, what I was doing, he was right next to me..............there came a point when i said to my daughter "is this dog trying to tell me something", and does he do this to you"...........we laughed it off and she said  "no, Mom....did you shower today"...........it became a joke.............it began to bother me......I would go down the basement to do wash, he would come down too.......I would sit, he would lay on my feet at the foot of the chair......never anyone else....just me......

Well finally  i was diagnosed with BC.......had the surgery, Rads, and all the mess that goes along with it.............when I went to my daughters house after that.............he never came near me.......oh yea, he would stand next to me, but never followed me around like he had done before.......

When I told my doctor, laughing, he said.........."oh they know, they know"............that is my story and I am sticking too it.................hugs.

Oh I have to add when I do tell my Drs. my cat thinks something is wrong, they do think I'm a crazy cat lady, but then she's right and I'm not so crazy as they think--they still think I'm crazy in many ways.
