Our Scraps is 4 now. We were told he is a Golden/Yellow Lab mix, but we are pretty sure there is Beagle or some sort of Hound in the mix somewhere. We got him at 9 months old, through an ad on Craig's List. He has a bunch of hangups, and is on Prozac daily. We found a really good trainer when we were in Ohio who really helped Scraps and us, and helped us in getting the medication he needs. He is absolutely fantastic with my teen grandson, who has autism. With some of Scraps' behaviors, I sometimes wonder if he is on the spectrum, too. We are not even certain if the guy we got him from was his original owner. Scraps has 3 "thinking brain" cats to keep him company. The trainer used to laugh and get a kick out of the relationship Scraps has with Hex, the tuxedo, who is less than a year younger than Scraps. They are best buds. We have pretty much given up, for now, getting Scraps a dog companion. Every time we have thought about it, the Powers that Be sent us a cat who needed us. Right now, with 4 furry babies, we are full up. All of them we consider as "rescues". We got Scraps first. Hex came from an adoption event at PetSmart. He was one of a litter that had been dropped off at the local animal shelter, and was due to go back if he did not get adopted, so daughter brought him home. Stitch found us about a year later - literally. We were babysitting a friend's dog the weekend just before Halloween. Grandson and I were in the side yard with the dogs for "last call" before bedtime when I saw a black animal walking up to grandson and our friend's Jack Russell. It was a small black kitten. We could not leave it out wandering just before Halloween - not a black kitten. All the shelters we called the next day were full, and did not anticipate any openings for about 12 weeks. Stitch is still with us, and a more loving cat you cannot imagine. Freya was one of 4 VERY young kittens that were dropped off in someone's yard. A friend of my daughter's took them in and found homes for all of them. Freya is still trying to find her place in the "boys club", but she was the first one to notice that Scraps was getting ready to have a seizure a few months ago. We are in a rental house, and the owner has a service come out every 2 months to spray outside for bugs. We had had Scraps for almost 2 years before we moved here, never a seizure or any health problem. Within a week after we got here he had a seizure. It took us a few months to put two and two together, but he always has a seizure within a week of them spraying. We now have them only spray in certain areas where he does not go and is not likely to be exposed by him walking on a sprayed area or us doing the same thing and bringing the stuff in. They use a pesticide normally safe for animals - it is in some flea prevention stuff - but with him being on medication we think it is affecting him. The last 2 times they were out, after we really restricted where they spray, he has not had a seizure, so we are pretty sure we found the culprit. Nice pics of everyone's babies. Will have to see if my daughter can help me figure out how to get pics from my phone to here.
