Aww, loving this thread! I have 2 French Mastiffs (Dogue de Bordeaux), Sarge (seen in my profile pic) and Sadie. They are huge but they're indoor dogs, Sadie sleeps beside our bed and gets up every hour or so and walks around the whole house, stopping at each of my kids' bedroom doors to make sure they're okay, her claws hitting the wood floor wakes me up often, but I know she's just checking on the kids, so it doesn't bug me. Sarge sleeps in front of a door, sometimes the back door, sometimes the front door, but NEVER in his bed! LOL They are the "Turner and Hooch" dog but they aren't really that slobbery (except when they eat and drink). Anyway, they are loved!

I have 2 pits and a Rhodesian/Retreiver mix--all rescues. They are my kids for sure...I love these guys and gal and they are my Welcome Home each day after work. My avatar is Harley, the youngest.

I had a rottie who had to go to sleep last year, Nikita, she will never be forgotten.

Harley loves when I vape watermelon, jumps on my lap to get some. :)

Dogs rule!

3 cats, all rescues. The oldest one, Debit, was born in a refinery. I found him at about 3 weeks old separated from his mom. The other 2 of the litter had died. I took him to the vet and was told he may not live through the night but....if he did, he would probably be very affectionate. I stayed up with him with some kitten formula and force fed him with an eye-dropper, a little bit, every hour or so and on through the next day (I called in sick). Any way.....he'll be 15 in February. He follows me everywhere and is the most vocal cat I've ever known.
I have a soft spot for the down and out.

Eli, my avatar, was found at about 2-3 months old living in a yard with about 25 other cats. He was mal-nourished and neglected. I took him to the vet and then home. I don't think he's terribly bright (in-bred) and he seems to be in a constant state of confusion. He's very timid and shy and has become fairly overweight (fat). He does, however, have beautiful thick fur and I think there must be a fancy cat (or 2) in his background. He is very sweet but doesn't like the other 2 cats. He's primarily decorative although I treat him like a rock star. He's about 9

And then there's Bugsy, my good cat. He was born in my then-girlfriends yard to a feral mother. She (girlfriend) watched over them and made sure the mother always had plenty of food and water. At about 5-6 weeks she gave me one of the kittens. He looked a little like an insect, hence the name. Other than being fixed and the occasional trip to the vet....he's never really had a bad day. He's bright, curious and playful. He appears to be very well adjusted and likes being a cat. He's about 10

and there you have it.......:p

I would love to see more pics of them! That is so cool how she checks on the kids at night.

I really wish I was smart enough to figure out how to post more pics, put them in the comment space. Sadie is pregnant, she's due in about 1-1/2 weeks. She's actually one of only a handful of full AKC French Mastiff females of breeding age in the U.S. Many have their AKC-FSS papers, but not full AKC (AKC just began giving the DDB full recognition 1-1/2 years ago and Sadie happened to have all of the requirements to go full AKC). So, we're going to have lil Sarge and Sadie puppies! Before I get any hateful comments about being a puppy mill, read my previous comments, we have only 2 dogs and they're both indoor family pets. We love them and they love eachother, they made lil love puppies! LOL
