FUR BABIES UNITE

Well, I think I've finally scrambled and collected as many furry critter pictures over this past week that I possibly could.

Now granted, I had to go and take some of these pictures myself (either with my own camera or by pirating from a blog); but I was bound and determined to get as many on my blog, as humanly possible.

And to show that I'm not playing favorites, I'm listing them in owner's alphabetical order - Ha! I mean, one friend who will not be named sent so many pictures of her fur baby, I had one heck of a time figuring out which ones to put up (helloooo -this is not a tribute to Molly - hee hee).

So without further ado, I present the many fur babies of my friends.

This is a co-worker's, daughter's 3 lb chihuahua "SQUIRT". What's with the name? Well, I've been told that when they brought him home, he basically peed on everyone. And seriously, how much pee can a 3 lb puppy make - I'm guessing pretty much "a squirt".

Meet "GINO"- a 4 yr old Yorkie (fighting weight 6 lbs). OH! He's a lover, not a fighter. And his owner tells me that he enjoys singing along to his birthday cupcake (see pic). Now doesn't that make your heart skip a beat?

This is "SADIE". She's a rescue dog (a mix). She's such a little love. We were invited last December to share in her birthday celebration. That just cracked me up. A dog with a birthday cake & hat. What a hoot! The other dog looking on is her new house mate (a dobie who's name will not be mentioned. Why? Because this is about Sadie).

I know. This is NOT a fur baby. I was hoping to share my friend's two dogs who live here in California. But I didn't have a chance to get the picture. This little guy's picture was taken in Hawaii where the owner of the missing picture of two said dogs lives (did that even make any sense?).

Ladies & Gents - can I get an Awww. This is "MOLLY" (3 yrs ago) as a puppy. Don't let those precious little beagle eyes fool you - there's a mischief dog inside.

Molly in bed (told ya she was mischievous).
Molly as a BEEgle (ha!)
Molly appropriately dressed. Nuf said.

This is "KAYDEE". She's my Godsister's dog. Wonder if that makes her my Dogsister (lol). Any who, she apparently is quite talented in retrieving cards (not newspapers) to her owner (go figure).

This big fella is "DEACON" (and YES, that's his tongue and that's how he sleeps). He's one of the watch dogs of the Pretty in Pink baby.

And this is Deacon's mother, "SHELBY". She apparently likes to hang out by the BBQ, just like her owner.

Sugar & Spice (and everything nice). "SUGAR" is a Ridgeback who recently relocated from South Africa with her owners. She's such a love. Welcome Sugar!

And this is "SPICE" - her mate. He's a mix and a rescue. His tail never seems to stop wagging (even when I snapped this shot last week). He's pretty darn cute, too.

Welcome to my blog - "KELLY". Kelly waiting to get dry after her bath. Apparently she will sit this way until they take the towel off. A 6 yr old Shi-tzue/mix~she is a national traveler. She has been from coast to coast with her owners.

In memory of "DUB-YA" who passed last June 2007. He was a fun playmate for Prudence when they were younger. We miss you Dub-Ya.

And this is "SALLY" & Sammy (Dub-Ya's family). Sally keeps an eye out after Sammy. Oh sure, they are closed eyes in this pic, but she's on it!

Last, but certainly not least, I present to you "EMBER- the Ball". I know we're mostly dog people here, but my husband loves cats. And though I'm deathly allergic, I do too. The funny thing - my friend has two cats. Not sure why she didn't include a picture of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? (Is there something you're not telling me R?)

Now you might be wondering why our fur babies are not a part of this post?

Well, that's an easy question. They pretty much get the rest of the blog (don't they); so to be perfectly good furry hosts (they opted out of this Fur Baby blog).

Thanks again for those who participated. And for those who have no idea they participated.

This was a lot of fun for me and I hope it was for you, too.
