Our real life pets

[Rae134]

Starting this thread in hope of learning more about Szarks Patterdale Terriers.

I currently have a cat (short hair tabby vet thinks may have Bengal somewhere in the mix) and a dog (Belgian Sheepdog/Husky mix). But in the past I've had Horses, Mice, Fish and other Cats and Dogs.

This is Chloe Cat (this is how she likes to sit and watch TV), and Chilli Dog not liking my hubby being in the Pool and telling him off (he's approx 9mths in this pick but hasn't changed much since then)

Black is George just over two yeats and Red is Lanny (Lanikea) 18 months

 

[Szark]

here is a pic of one of my old dogs,

 

[Rae134]

They are cute Szark. I looked the breed up because I hadn't heard of it before and I must say, I like these guys wire coat better than the smooth. They have sweet faces

Oh the fuzziness of Taz, a cutie too!

 

[Szark]

Yeah Patterdale don't breed completely true, we have just about the best size and colouration apart from George hasn't got a white bib, his white is spread all over making him a bit Salty and a lot of pepper. LOL

Taz is a Boarder Terrier x Lakeland Terrier. The Lakeland Terrier and Patterdales come form the same stock back in the 60's I think.

Lovely images Rae and Szark!

Vesper as a baby and a little bit older but in a box...still loves going in boxes. She's currently two years old and still loves to play.

 

[Rae134]

Oh Pen, she has such an innocent looking face (I don't know what it is about cats and boxes!)

 

[Pendraia]

She's a cutie...the kids tell me she's a ninja! Of course our sofas are pretty much the same colour as her so she blends. She uses this advantage to attack the kid's dogs. They're getting old but one is happy to play with her the other gets really cranky and barks at her.

 

[Szark]

here are some more that I find funny

I call this one
You can't see me, right!

Scooby snack delight (6 months old)

 

[Pendraia]

So cute! He does kind of blend with the plants, he just needs longer fur!

 

[Miss B]

Great pet photos folks.

 

[Rae134]

Chilli when he was 1 week old (eyes still closed), when he was 6 weeks and 10 weeks. And the Chillibacker when he was approx 8 months

Oh what wonderful pics of your pets...that's the thing with renting, you usually can't have pets...I do miss my animals...

 

[Rae134]

Many years ago, me on Nuffy. His full name was "No Charge" as his Quarter Horse dad jumped the fence to visit his Australian Stock Horse mum

Approx 30 mins after the standing photo was taken I was off to hospital in an Ambulance when he slipped in a speed jumping round and they thought I'd broken my neck and cracked my skull but nothing showed on the Xrays. Found out a couple of years ago that I indeed had a broken neck at one stage (I have arthritis there now).

(Thumbnails again, you know the drill )

 

[Rae134]

Yeah Sanbie, I hated renting for so long. Feel free to post old pets, they don't have to be current ones
I haven't had or been around horses for almost 30 years and I still miss it heaps.

 

[AlphinaNovaStar]

I am trying to make my tanks pretty but I have three fish. Two goldfish and one Betta

 

[Pendraia]

Rae...awesome photos. Scary thought that a broken neck didn't show on X-rays...

@ Sanbie...so hard if you're renting! I would miss my cat...

 

[Rae134]

Cant wait to see your Betta AlphinaNovaStar, I've have a few over the years, I'll have to dig up a couple of pix

Sure was, they said I'd chipped the front of one of the vertebrae.

 

[Rae134]

found a couple Thumbnails again so I don't take up too much room

The red, white and blue one was my fave over the years (I've even sold a couple of cards with that image on them)

 

[Pendraia]

Ouch Rae! That wouldn't be good...

Didn't see Alphina's post before...we must have cross posted. Fishy photos would be good...nice ones Rae. Such beautiful colours. Are they from fish you owned Rae? If so can I please use them to texture a mermaid tail?
