Gorgeous parents for your new puppy, Patricia.
That looks like a very healthy, happy, and lucky kitty, Andria! She's beautiful

Is Macchiato a porcupine? That's new and different!
Love the kitties -- since finally being able to have one myself, I've discovered a love for all things feline -- that Wooter is adorable!!! Looks like mischief on 4 legs!

Macchiato is a Pygmy Hedgehog. She is pretty special, usually the main topic of conversation when people hear we have her. If you're a night owl looking for a quiet but sweet pet a hedgehog might be a good choice
Wooter is another special one. We bottle raised her. The Mr was out on a smoke break at work and heard her crying her baby kitten lungs out. He found her in a bush with her after birth still attached and everything so we had to take her in! Bottle raising her was nice preparation for our human daughter who arrived one year later. We are certain Wooter has some neurological issues. She's very temperamental. Easily provoked to over stimulation and she tried to chew off her own tail around 10 years ago. So, she's an honorary Japanese Bob Tail
Thankfully the past few years she has mellowed out a ton and we've been able to avoid medicating her.Tai-Grr is the true mischief maker. He opens cupboards and doors, knocks over trash cans, and is more talkative than a 4 year old on a sugar high!
Aurora is the sweetest softest cat you'll ever meet. Sadly her fur gets matted up so easily, so we need to take her in for another shave down. Just as well though, it will be warming up here again soon and she will be much happier with shorter fur for the spring and summer. When her fur isn't bothering her she is the biggest cuddle bug around. She will hop on anyone's lap and purr and knead her huge paws until someone falls asleep!
We inherited Duke from my Mother In Law, who passed away recently. He was her Service Dog, and since The Mr is eligible for a service dog he and Duke are now a team. But he is also a very loved and much spoiled pet!
GORGEOUS canary!!!!!

Thanks! He's a Red Factor Mosaic and quite the little singer [emoji4]

I love those kinds of songbirds, and I hear they make great pets, but I have a very weird phobia of birds in the house, thanks to a truly awful nightmare many years ago -- they kind where you "wake up" but are actually still dreaming? AARGHH!
@cloudykitty -- my ex had a cat that was a rescue from a Milwaukee winter (BRRRR!) and that cat very clearly had some kind of brain damage, it was never "right" in the head, but he was a little love, just gorgeous ginger tabby with the most piercing emerald green eyes. Although my ex and I had been split for years when he died, my ex made sure to call and give me the news, he knew I was very fond of little Tuza, even though I had a lot more trouble with my allergy before they came out with 24-hr antihistamines.
Our Tuxie has never been a "lap kitty," and probably never will be; I think whoever abandoned her must have been very cruel to her; she tolerates us, but anyone with whom she's unfamiliar, she runs away and hides ASAP! When she was a kitten, she'd tolerate our son putting her inside his hoody, but won't tolerate that much physical contact with anyone else -- and you'd need a damn big hoody for her now-20lb-self.
My husband can pick her up and turn her on her back, cradling her like a baby, and she'll put up with it for about 1 minute before she's scrambling to get down -- she once let me do that to her, but it took about 15 secs for her to start scrambling. She's very talkative with me, which kinda bugs my husband, she won't meow much with him -- I told him it was a girl thang. And she seemed to second that, by meowing right after I said it.

i love seeing the pictures and reading the stories about everyone's four-footed family members
Hey Mommabird- I'll trade you both my 'Toos for your canary! There is a canary at my former Vet Tech school. When I was going there I always thought it was a boy but I recently made a trip back there and learned that he was a she! I wanted to see if she would step up for me but I was not being escorted and did not want to risk breaking any rules. Besides, if I remember correctly she was very cage territorial and would peck at students as they were cleaning her cage.
Andria- I'm sorry for the loss of your furry friend. It's a shame we can't make them live forever That was very thoughtful of your ex to let you know he had passed. What the heck is it with gingers? Seems like every ginger tabby (known as "red" for breeding specifics) I've met is the biggest sweet heart!
My dearly departed Roofus was a ginger too. He lived to almost 18 years old. He got hyper thyroid and eventually had to be put to sleep because he was just suffering way too much at the very end. He was someone special. Loved getting his tummy rubbed, which is odd for a cat. Maybe it's because he was handled so much as a kitten. We had his mom, and she had her litter in our laundry room when I was in Jr. High. I could not keep my hands off those kittens! Roo also had a raspy voice and the loudest most rumbliest purr I have ever heard! <3
That is so cute about the girl talk. We can get Tai to have conversations with us sometimes. We will say "Tai Tai! Tell us a story!" and he will sometimes meow. Then if we ask him to "tell us more" sometimes he does!

Ah, Tuxie is ALL ABOUT the belly rubs! She can be curled up sound asleep on the couch, and if you start petting her, she'll roll right over and present that white-striped belly for a rub.
Except for her one white foot and a few white "toes" on her other feet, she's a perfect tuxedo, right down to that white stripe -- like the white shirt peeking out from the jacket. That meme about cats having no snooze button? That's Tuxie -- she sleeps in my husband's room, and she'll start tryng to wake him about 4am to be fed -- once she started waking him about 2am, and when he ignored her, she bit him on the forehead! He tossed her off the bed, and she was mad at him for the whole day.
But the next morning, she didn't start waking him till it was nearly 5am. Andria

LOL That's ok [emoji6] I love toos but when they scream...Lets just say Rudy has a more pleasant effect on the ears. LOL
Years ago, I used to always have cockatiels and even raised them and hand raised some of their babies. Hence the nickname mommabird [emoji6] When my last old girl passed on from old age, I decided to get a canary. With rat terriers in the house, I was constantly worried about something bad happening when I would have birds out and fortunately nothing ever did. But, with the canary, they don't normally crave human handling and are happy enough in a large enough cage. So, no more worrying. But, I really do miss having a tiel!

Dog share::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Been shopping around for a GPS tracking system... I had high hopes to find one that uses an app and cell service.... Haven't seen a solid system.... Chose the Garmin Alpha 100 with the TT15 training collars.. both gps and radio fregency together for those of us who have poor cell service,, You can manually stimulate, vibrate, and tone.. I took out the barbs and will be doing recall home training using tones.. "carry around a jar of peanut butter" to work on short distance recalls all day long here and there while we out and about and in the house... Abhik needs work on the basic... Arka is a happy recall and ready for me to start pairing a tone recall reward on short distance here for short one time training here and there...
you can set geo fences and radius type boundaries that will beep, vibrate, message you when they exit and enter your set boundary areas. you have 9 miles to work with, and you can real time track an escaped dog on the run with status and distance and direction.. you can also activate lights on the collars if it's night time so the dog can be seen easier by you and other people.. it also saves the tracks data, internal on the collar, handset, and you can add a sd card for extra storage...
So it was expensive. but I needed something that would actually work when and how I needed it to work...
so far I have my homestead area geo fenced off in sections and it will tell me when they are leaving one area and which area they are entering and when they are coming back .... even in the metal barn it picks them up and tells me if they into trouble lol lol lol ...or just still sleeping... There is a basecamp software for you computer that you can set up and keep open to track live on a bigger screen then the handheld which you would take with you if you had to go looking for them or retrace their tracks... It works all over the united states if your going on vacation or camping...
will share some pictures of it in action on the base camp as soon as photobucket comes back up... <3

I love the fact that you can geotrack your dogs. I guess I thought that they were in a (large) fenced area when they were outside but not under your direct supervision?
