Slightly different than Pibbur's 'funny cat' thread, here is a chance to show off your furry friends who have been starring in WebEx and Zoom meetings for the past weeks.
My crew is as follows:
Upper left is Riley, a Norfolk Terrier about to turn 14, who we didn't think would make it to 2020, and is really living on borrowed time … but as long as he can have more good days than bad (even with anti-inflammatory and pain meds) then we are sticking with him. (this has been a very bad week, so I have him on my lap this morning and have no idea how many more we have).
Lower left is Charlie, a 1.5 year old Schnorkie (Schnauzer-Yorkie) who we rescued last October after he was deemed 'unadaptable' due to temperament issues after abuse. When I met him he growled, barked and bared his teeth …and was in my lap within 10-15 minutes and has never left!
Upper right is Otis, a 7-8 year old mutt we just rescued a few weeks ago but were only supposed to be fostering … but he needed more extensive neutering surgery, and also had rear paw issues needing surgery, and we kept him during recovery and then with COVID … well, I wasn't thrilled for yet another but there it is.
Middle right is Ruger, a terrier-poodle mix we rescued 2 years ago from impending euthanasia and went through 5 obedience training classes to get him all the way to 'canine good citizen' certification … but honestly while he is good with/for us, he remains completely unadoptable. Sweet, but got so badly abused for the entirety of his first 9 months before we rescued him that he has tons of issues.
And finally lower right is our older son's cat Franklin … and since our son is home from college, so is Franklin. He gets on pretty well with the smaller dogs (especially Charlie) but Ruger just can't play properly with a cat!
