We have two cats. Harry is in charge of the lanai and keeping an eye on birds and geckos that may morph into dinosaur sized creatures and could attack us.

Hershey is in charge of supply management and keeps a constant eye on the refrigerator and the pantry and the clock and reminds us when it is time to prepare a meal...for HIM.

Mikey is my personal assistant and at this time is asleep on a towel next to my computer. Mikey monitors my shower, my cooking, my telephone conversations, my reading materials, reads all computer correspondence and accompanies me to the bathroom.

All both of them have to be ushered into their private room with the laundry machines when we have guests because they interrupt and pest on people until they are given copious attention.

Helene, Sweetie and I are their staff and we are doing the best that we can and every once in awhile we are pretty sure they are pleased.

I agree ... most cats have "staff."

The Cat from HELL!

We love her! She was born feral. We adopted her at 8 weeks, and she grew up with our two dogs, a schipperkke and a terrier mix.

I'm a dog guy. Always had Golden Retrievers in the past but now I have two small Maltese. The largest is 7 pounds. Big or small, dogs love ya.

We have two Golden Retrievers, Sadie (8) and Jesse (4), mother and son. 200 lbs. of muscle, fur, and love.

Toy poodle. Rescued at 5yo. Is now 10. Love him love him love him. Lost 17 yo Maltese 2 years ago. Miss her so much. Dogs are love. Cats too!

Aren't Golden Retrievers a great breed? Has anyone seen one that is not one of the most lovable creatures on earth. I've never seen a mean one.

They can get mean if need be. I've seen it when attacked by another dog. I was very proud of him. Immediately went back to passive mode when he was done.

We have Ben and Jerry. 6 year old Shih Tzu/ Maltese siblings.

We have SAM, our lovable Golden Retriever! He's 7 years old but wish he was 7 months old!

I may be prejudiced, but he's just gorgeous.

One that's the Queen of The Villages!!

:agree: Dogs are total love. They don't have a mean bone in their body unless they're trained by humans to be that way.

Over the past 50 years I have had: 1 male Standard poodle (apricot);4 purebred Siamese cats, 2 mixed breed part Siamese kitties,not all at the same time; 2 exotic shorthair part Persian kitties; 1 male and 1 female standard poodles (both black); 1 abandoned part-terrier puppy found in parking lot; 1 regular size dachshund male, wire-haired; 1 male Gordon Setter, show dog; 1 grey cat adopted from shelter. and presently I have two black-and-white cats adopted from Cat Rescue. I would love to have a dog but I think I'm too old to take on training a puppy and to me that's the most fun part of owning a dog.

A face you just have to hug. Too cute!
Just posted this and the picture didn't show up. Anyway, it's supposed to be the picture of your puppy.
