I know that Mark posted a picture of our Chocolate Lab when he was a puppy but I thought I would post another of him grown up...and the other picture of our black lab also...can't just post one and not the other
This is Sam. One of two cats. We do have fish as well.
LOML was repairing some linen bags and was ready to take them to the car when she found the inspector doing a catscan of her work.
This is an older photo of Sam and our Oscar. We don't have Oscar with us any longer.
This is Biscuits. I was on my way to work one morning when she stumbled out into the street in front of me. I stopped, scooped her up, carried her over to the sidewalk, deduced that she'd just been hit by a car. Drove her to the family vet, got her patched up, nursed her back to health. The vet estimated she was about one year old, so she's now 15. In this picture, she's displaying her characteristic disdain for her Christmas presents.
And this is Squeak, whom we found down at the culvert at the end of the driveway on a blazing hot July day. She was then about the size of my fist and was a mess: filthy, eat up with ringworm, starving, dehydrated. If we hadn't noticed her when we did, I doubt she'd have lasted another day. Eight years later, she's living large as the youngest member of the family.
I'll have to do the links as I never can get pics to work on here any more.
The Original Gang (Left to right): Lakota (adopted 8 years ago, now 9), Nikita (adopted 6 years ago, now 7), and Natasha (the readhead, adopted 3.5 years ago, now almost 4). My ugly mug and LOML.
My how fast they grow up. With their cousin Maggie (the basset), my sister Wanda, and neice Jordan. (Missing from photo, their other cousin, The Black Lab Kailee)
Cheyenne the Husky and Jasper the lab mix (adopted 3 months ago, now 10 and 9)
Then you have the Golden in my Avatar. Tracker (rescued 1 year ago, happily living in a resort community with a retired couple after spending his first 2 years chained and forgotten.)
A couple others have passed through our doors, but returned home to loving families after a quick search.
Then we have 12 goldfish that were just transfered from pond to aquarium last night at LOML's bequest (appearently it's too cold for them outside LOL), and the deer that we feed daily, had half a dozen in the yard a couple days ago. And I better not forget the birds and squirells and chipmonks and field mice and foxes and rabbits that visit our yard, or live in it.
Mike
Lakota's Dad
If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.
