Pets...And Why We Love Them (Pay Homage Here)

[Yooper]

Well, here are mine:
This is Lady, a picture from two or three years ago. We just lost her in October:

And this is Demoti, our shelter cat that we've had two years:

 

[Soulive]

This guy has roots in Deutschland. His name is Ludwig and he likes malty lagers and chamber muzik. His sister Sophie will be immigrating soon...

< pic is 3 months old >

I give you Schroeder, a 2 year old German Shep, Chow, Lab, Retriever plus other mix. He is my best friend. This dog is better than almost every person I have ever met. We rescued him from an organazation as a pup. He goes everywhere with me. First is him as a pup, then him just chilling during a vacation trip on the ride, then a break during a neighborhood walk, finally, him coming back after swimming out past the breakers in OBX on his long leash:

This is Casey. She's a Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie) who will turn 13 in May. She's the grumpy den mother of the group and is stinky at both ends, but we love her.

This is Diego, another Sheltie. He just turned 2 in November. The picture below is the first day we got him; he was a whopping 5 lbs.

Now here is is all grown up and happy. He's the troublemaker of the group, and as a result his nickname is "little sh*t".

Our newest addition, Kiwi, is a 1.5 year old Border Collie/Aussie mix (although this picture makes people think he's part Beagle, too) we adopted from a rescue organization. He's always eager to do anything, and he makes you appreciate the simple things in life when you realize how happy it makes him.

He really does look a little beagle in that picture, doesn't he!

Heres my babydog, her name is Cleo, shes a 6 year old rescued beagle.

Cleo helping with the brew.. along with one of our foster beagles Queenie (she's the lemon beagle in the back)

Here's Zeus the patriarch of the family. 13 year old lab/shepherd mix.

Zeus and Rufus kicking back.

Rufus (Aussie/German shepherd mix we think) is 3 and is going to sorely miss the old fella when he goes. I have a feeling it'll be this year too . 13 is not a bad run for a 100+# guy though.

I don't have to post a picture because our cat looks almost exactly like Silviakitty's cat Nathaniel, except ours has rounder eyes more like a kitten (and he's not a kitten anymore). His name describes him perfectly... Big Silly!

 

[cubbies]

This is my girl Maggs (short for Magnolia). She is a pug/corgi mix. She is the best dog a guy could ever have. Cute, playful, cuddly, sweet, loves all pets and people...I could go on and on. She meets me at the door everyday. She's a pup in this picture. She is over a year old now.

Niki likes to "help" me brew. Really funny. Like to post some pictures of it but can't seem to be able to. Sorry.

Melana, that's hilarious. My roommate Zach's cat is named Senor Fatpants (no joke).... and my friend from school had two cats, Senor El Gato, and also die Katza

I'll toss my two cats on here when I get home from work. Speaking of which. It's quittin' time.

 

[talleymonster]

HOLY CHRIST THAT'S A HUGE PICTURE!!!!!

This is Katie Belle, a queen baitch if there ever was one!

 

[Sluggo]

Sam. Cat.

 

[DeathBrewer]

i miss my puppies. my last little girl (Katie) was ran over when i was away. All i got was a phone call...didn't even get the chance to bury her.

now i live in a place that does not allow pets. that's going to have to change...there are too many wonderful dogs out there without good homes and no reason i can't find a place that will accomodate one of them.

wonderful thread, everyone. makes me really appreciate those moments past and think about the future.

if i find some pictures of Katie, i'll post.

I think if I dressed my dog up like that she would bit me. J/K
cool pics

[Silviakitty]

That's a happy-looking girlie.

 

[APendejo]

My Ol has two cockatiels. Loud, mean, messy and obnoxious little bastiches, they let the OL handle them like ragdolls, they have the run of the house, I get near them they act like cobra snakes. Oh, did I mention I don't like those birds.

[FSR402]

My boys Nero (the darker one) and Grigio.

 

[Junebug]

Here are my assistant brewers, both girls. The first pic is of the ever helpful Boosker, assisting me at the computer...




...and the extremely photogenic Bob.



My girlfriend and I found them in the arboretum parking lot eight years ago, apparently "dropped off". Two very sweet cats.

 

[Junebug]

Wow, talk about ultra-cuteness!

 

[flyboy]

Why not?......

Because I'm an idiot. :cross: After looking at other people's pages I realized that I needed to put the picts on something like photobucket and link it here. Here she is:

Niki helping me brew Pumpkin Ale

And here she is guarding it afterwards

 

[e lo]

Wow. Flyboy & flightguy, the pugs are f'in adorable! And FSR402 your boys are regal as can be. They're IG's, yes?

 

[fightguy]

*fightguy (I don't fly)

And yes, pugs are the best dogs in the world

Coby, my black lab mix (I think border collie, my vet says rottie), got him at the humane society about 2.5 years ago, he is 3 now and awesome. My SWMBO at the time talked me into getting him, only good thing that came from that relationship for sure, thank god I got to keep him!

The day I got him
