Fellow Loungers, let me introduce you to Mollie, the newest addition to the household.
We found Mollie a few weeks ago in the neighborhood, and set about finding her owners or a home. Unchipped and untagged, posting on various shelter and lost pet websites, we had no luck, and all the shelters are full.
So she's ours now, and we're working through the challenge of integrating her with our other dog, Jenna.

Thanks, Jack. I think she's going to work out OK.
I hope she appreciates I gave up on getting a new smoker for her!

Welcome Mollie. Sometimes they just choose us, Jim.

Too cute not to share…. These two belong to my brother-in-law and nephew, respectively. Genny Lee and Bogey.

Yup. And sometimes your wife just brings one home.

So painful when you say the last farewell to a loving, loyal faithful friend. We said farewell to our Birman cat, Khandi, earlier in the year. One of the surprise presents that Santa brought my wife, Tina, is a cherished memory of our beloved Khandi. It caused a tear, but through the tears, a smile of all the years she was with us. This is what Santa had in his sack for Tina:
It will take pride of place on the wall of Tina's sewing cabin. Khandi loved to join Tina there, nothing to do with the radiator of course!

Mixed breed shelter puppy. DNA screen has her ~75% Australian Cattle Dog. She lives to fetch... anything, anytime, anywhere. She doesn't need the life jacket, but the river was pretty swift and she was curious about the rocks midstream.

Our Miss Biddy inspecting my Stetson OR Twenty-Five......
AND Douglas Furbanks in a usual pose......in my lap.
They are unusual for cats, in that they each are very interested in what we do and will greet us at the door when we come home as well as "see us off" when we leave. They follow us around and "help" around the house. As with most animal companions, they certainly help lower our blood pressure and give us something else to think about at the end of a crappy day!

Embarrassment., humiliation... What did D-Day say in Delta House (Animal House)? "Don't get mad. Get even." Doxies carry a grudge. Check inside your shoes in the morning.

Oh I can assure she was quite unhappy with this situation...
Man, I've never had a dog give me "the look."

This is Piper:
She was the product of a "for profit" breeder, but was de-valued because she's Siamese but doesn't have the typical markings. As a result she was somewhat ignored and abused a bit, and as a result of that my friend was able to adopt her free as a "rescue". Also as a result, Piper is not particularly friendly until you've earned her trust; took me about four or five days of patience and behaving relaxed and calm around her. Once she felt comfortable with me, she heard my voice and ran across the house to lay on my lap. My friend said Piper had never done that with anyone but her, so I took it as acceptance. Now, after more than a few months, Piper shows all the signs of comfort and affection around me, so I do what I can to maintain that.
