Fur Baby Friday!

[daydreamsam]

Post pics of your fur babies here! (Babies with gills, feathers and scales are welcome too!)

QOTW: How do your fur babies do in the water (rain/baths/pools, etc.)?

[kaliRN]

Here are my fur babies! Caffrey is almost 4 and is the black and white one, Riley is almost 3 and is the Merle. They are both Mini Aussie Doodles. They are currently snuggled on my feet under my warm blanket.

This is my fur family, from right to left: Pink, Dakota and Saphira (she's the one we had to put down earlier this week) and down in front is Angel and Scooby.

QOTW: All my dogs LOVE to swim at the lake or in rivers but when it comes to rain and bathtubs, they shake like a leaf! Scoob will hold her pee for a full day if she has to, rather than go out in the rain to go potty!

Here is a sweet Lillee picture.  

QOTW - Cat bath time is an adventure.  I usually cut their claws a day or maybe few hours before they get a bath.  I have to trick them both into following me into the bathroom.  I then shut the door and turn on the water.  Once they figure out what's going on they try their best to get under the door.  During the bath, Lillee usually crouches down and gives me the evil eye.  If I don't hold her down she'll jump out of the bathtub.  Cokie fights me the whole time and has a super loud pathetic meow.  Sometimes it takes both DH and I to bathe Cokie.  They both stay mad for the rest of the day.  I end up getting just as soaked as them and the bathroom becomes a wet furry mess.

This is Malley playing with a box DH brought out.

QOTW: She's actually not bad with taking baths. I thought it was going to be WW3, luckily she just cries until she lets me finish, then avoids me for the rest of the day. She doesn't freak out when it rain/lightning & thundering. She did go crazy running all over the house with the fireworks. Other than that when it's cold she'll cuddle with me to stay warm.

daydreamsam In all the hubbub, I missed that you had to put Saphira to sleep this week. I'm sorry to hear that

deelopi9 That's the most classic cat picture of classic cat pictures I've seen all day

Oliver wishes not to be photographed today (plus, his mom can't figure out how to link pics from mobile which is the only way she takes pics anymore..)

He sends his love to all of his other 3T/IF furbabes and says, "damn, you cute."

[daydreamsam]

bluefairy5 Thank you. It was a hard but necessary decision (she had a brain tumor and seizures and was going downhill fast). It gets easier every day, although I still miss her.

Nola the kitten is feeling really comfortable these days! It took a little while for our dogs to warm up to her, but they're best friends now!



Mya's surgery to remove the lump on her hip (you can see it here) is only two weeks away! Still trying not to obsess over it too much. It's just hard to not worry. She is a BIG fan of the fireplace. She will lay there for hours.

I'm so sorry about Saphira daydreamsam

Here's my 3: Papa Bear (the bug guy in the middle), Lil' Mush (the saucy faced one on the right) and Serena (my iguana). And hopefully I attached this correctly. 

QOTW: Papa hates water, he freaks out near pools, he huddles in the shower, and refuses to go outside in the rain. Mush and Serana LOOOOVE water. Mush will romp around in rivers when we let her, and I usually fill a kiddie pool with water in the summer for Serena to swim around in. Her previous owner used to let her swim in ponds, but I always worry I won't be able to catch her if she takes off after getting out of the water.

We have 6 fur babies (3 dogs, two cats, one horse). Unfortunately, I don't have their pics on the web so I can link them!

Here are by Fur Babies:


Sorry it's sideways, I'm not the best with this!

The one in the back LOVES water, the one in the front HATES water.

So totally smiling! Ha!!!

This is one of my cats, Bruce Wayne, cuddled up while I crocheted the other day. This is a pretty common position for him.

My babies!  The white one is Tango, and he's a toy poodle.  Jazzy is a shih tzu chihuahua mix.

They don't like the rain or baths, but if we're walking and come along a stream or something, Tango will slowly get in and then get back out. Jazzy will run in and plop herself right down in the water and mud on the banks.  She's my little tomboy

daydreamsam I'm so sorry to hear about Saphira. I can't imagine losing one of my babies... they are my children.

[daydreamsam]

QuitcherBitchin, tumbleweed, firstbbq and @cokiebear Thank you ladies. Our fur babies are definitely our kids and it's been difficult for both DH and I. Pink is Saphira's daughter so at least we have her to remember Saphira by, which is helpful.

[MrsRC88]

daydreamsam. Sorry for your loss.



Here is my Sadie. She is our newest addition- she is 6 months old, and was spayed yesterday. She was very cuddly last night- today, she is back to her wild and crazy puppy self!

QOTW: All of our animals dislike water! Makes baths for the pups hard.

[sammae]

I'll start off with a Charlotte pic that fits the QOTW:

We take the boat out and swim off it, so Charlotte has a raft so she can float around while we swim. For whatever reason, she panics if we're out that far. She looooooooves the water. We camp on an island in the summer and she'll let herself out of the tent in the morning to go for a swim... and then tries to climb back into bed. NARP!

I've only caught Grace doing this once:

She jumped up there from the dresser. It was fascinating to watch. She wasn't entirely sure what to do once she got there, but it's all about the journey, right?

Juliet is pretty boring compared to the others. Usually the only pics I take of her are when she looks really cuddly:



QOTW: Charlotte, as a lab, LOVES water. As long as it's not falling from the sky. Her entire summer is spent in a perpetual cycle of wet/dry. We've never bathed our cats, but Juliet sleeps in our sinks, drinks from the faucet, and jumps into the bathtub after it's drained to lick up the water.

QOTW: The boys love water but have a tendency to be messy with it. Blue only has one good eye (long story and $1200 later we weren't able to save his vision and it will be removed this year) and sticks his whole head in the bucket of water to try to get leaves or anything.

I love my furbabies, they are my only positive this week and almost shoved my cat in the stove but I'm focusing on the good right now. I wanted to share the new item that should arrive in a week for my boys (dogs: Scout the Aussie and Blue the Wirehaired Pointer). We got a gift card for xmas to Tractor Supply and found a 5 gallon blue bucket with a retractable cord that will keep thier outdoor water from freezing. The reason I'm so happy is there is metal element or anything that could electrocute the boys, its all inside the plastic bucket. A huge score that I didn't know even existed. We have a deicer for the goats but it needed a metal container and had other issues.

I do have 3 nigerian dwarf goats. This is Anna 3 days old as bottle baby, she's almost 4 now.

So my chinchilla is almost 10 years old. Fun fact, if they get very wet their hair can actually mold.


We have 2 cats as well Braap and Little Miss.

[LavishPeach]

daydreamsam I'm sorry again about Saphira.

QOTW: Like sammae, my kits love hopping into the bathtub once it's drained and drinking out of the faucet. Both have even gone so far as to starting drinking the water while I'm still in the bath! Ew!

Puck waiting for me to get out of the tub.
