This is totally off topic, but I was home sick last week and got to spend time with my pets, which have been a bit neglected since baby #3 entered our lives, and I was just wondering if you ladies have pets? We have a 12 year old cat, Ebony, who I found half dead when I was in college and nursed back to health. He's shy, but lets the boys love on him now and then. We also have 2 dogs, a 9 year old Corgi named Kenai who is the best little guy, and a 2 year old Portuguese Water Dog named Snowy that was a total impulse buy when I was really wanting a baby person, but she's also the greatest!

We have two four year old pugs. BJ is our male that we purchased when he was three months old. After learning about the horrors of puppymills, we adopted our girl, Gidget, from the local pug rescue.Two totally spoiled animals that we love to death. They are funny though...they can't figure out why they can't have Peyton's toys. -

Yep I have a four year old toy poodle who we have had since he was 10wks old. We got him after we had been ttc for awhile and weren't having any luck... just goes to show how long it took. (there were of course breaks in there) Sorry to say he has been a bit neglected too since Noah being born. But he is such a good dog you can alreaedy tell how much he loves and protects Noah I think they'll be great friends! -

I can't even tell you how neglected the poor animals are! They love the babies though and I even havev pictures of them petting the dog and cats. We have a 3 year old Golden Retreiver,(Ripley) an 8year old Siamese(Mickey Blue Eyes) and a 5 year old orange tabby (Demon. I was a veterinay nurse for 9 years before going into marketing so we love our furry babies! Ithought I lost Mickey last nigh and we spent hours looking for our indoor cat outside. He showed up this morning stretching and blinking coming out of the cozy linen closet. -

I have a Chorkie (Yorkie/Chihuahua) She's almost 2 and she's huge sucky. She love Lorenzo sooo much. But she also like to whine for attention. She's gotten more cuddly since the baby came home. which is fine with me.
