Ladies, do you have pets? Or do pets have you?

Dande-are the rooserters really as noisy and mean as everyone says? We held off on a rooster because we don't want the noise and we have a little one who likes to play with them. But I'm really considering getting the Phoenix as a rooster. The roosters are so much prettier!

A single polish rooster, I think is fine sound-wise. They still crow but not as loud as other roosters----unless you have more than one polish rooster. Then they get more aggressive and vocal! But with our Polish, we have a couple of hens that are way more aggressive than the male lol---they will chase the dogs and it's soooo funny!

LOL! I think we'll at least try it out then! We have a friend who said he would take a rooster if we end up not being happy with him so it's worth a shot!! I can only imagine.....My Dobie getting chased by a chicken!! That would be hilarious!! She thinks the chickens are are hers. She guards over them and will chase off any cat or another dog that comes into their area! It's funny! I think they kind of like her too. They aren't afraid of her, they just kind of look at her an continue as usual!

And I like your kitty's name...Little Toot Louis.

I realized I haven't posted individual pictures or told you all their names. First the triplets. Not sure why those thumbnails are showing up at the bottom. I couldn't put all seven of them in one post.

Apparently that picture of Penny was too big. Or something.

Here's Penny with her brother Tyler. And that's all of them!

drinks out of your coffee cup if you aren't watching her every second

I'm cracking up reading this! I though my Loki was the only coffee drinkin doggie around. I do drink caffeinated!

Here's my boy Loki and my kitty Goldie having some snuggle time.

Here's Goldie and Mica enjoying the laundry basket.

And here's Loki and Chester Topaz taking a play break.

Considering how much my life revolves around-buying dog food, buying cat food, buying cat litter, watering water fountains, cleaning litter boxes, feeding animals, dressing animals, diapering animals, cleaning messes out of the rug, refilling the potty pads, sewing animal clothes, mixing and mashing vitamins, procuring/baking/drying homemade treats, cleaning out the tub (kitty bowling alley), shopping for toys, picking up toys, righting everything that's been knocked over/pulled out/destroyed beyond all recognition, walking animals, and of course providing love and affection-my animals surely own me. When will they start paying me for all this service I provide? That is the real question?

.......and I wouldn't have it any other way.......

 

[Fudgey]

That first picture is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are grand dog sitting this weekend.....he is just a pup still and full of energy!!! Just like a 3 year old

 

[dandelionwings]

So well said, Jewelz, lol. You've got some real cuties and I already know Loki ...he has always been a favorite on here.

EmmaJo, love pugs!

Catmom, there's something about those orange cats, I swear. They're just different than other cats somehow!

Jewelz it looks like they all are pretty fond of each other. If I were a dog/cat, I'd want to come live with you...

We are moving and I'm only going to be able to take my turtles. Thankfully, I'll still see all of our other babies several times a week. Just not the same.

 

[Catmom]

Oh, Dande, that's so sad! Thank goodness you'll at least be able to see them.

We're dealing with the possibility of having to move, but several states away. I won't go without our cats. I'm stressing out at how to move with seven cats, and what that will do to them. We took four to the vet this morning, and they cried all the way there and all the way back. I don't even want to think about 8 to 10 hours in a car. Or the logistics of packing and unpacking with seven cats.

OMG I am soooooo sad for you! I would seriously have to be sedated for quite a while. At least you will get to see them regularly, but I'm sure that thought is only vaguely reassuring....

Good lord you will have your hands full. But actually the fact that you'll be moving by car may be to your benefit. Several years ago I moved to AZ from New England. It was an all day affair trudging through airports with my kittybaby by my side. The vet gave me sedative pills, which I was kind of afraid of. So I gave her half the dosage and used calm down in her water. I continued to use the calm down for several weeks after we got here and it seemed to help. Once the truck (which was delayed because of flooding in TX) arrived with our things-she was back to normal in 24 hours. I guess having our familiar furniture that was covered in her scent was really reassuring to her. Based on that experience, I'd recommend starting to rub your kitties and yourselves with old sheets/towels that you will use in their crates for the move, and also putting them out in your new location until you can start unpacking your stuff. Hopefully it will help them out.

ETA: I almost forgot! A few years ago we took a several week vacation by car. My kitty was recovering from surgery and confined to a cage for 6 weeks. So he had to come on the trip, there was no way I was leaving in someone else's care during that critical time. What a trooper that boy was. The first couple of days were really hard, but he adapted well. I used the calm down for him also, but I also had found out about Feliway. I used that to rub inside his car cage and hotel cage. I think it helped as well.

Here he is in the car cage, scoping things out:

Here he is on the hotel bed. I would take him out at night for a little mommy snuggling time:

And here's his hotel cage. You can see the feliway wipe down in the bottom left corner. It looks like a baby wipe-and my boy looks pretty content:

God I miss him!
