Reformed Cat chaser???????????




As all of you know, I love my doggies...I am an animal lover till the end. I have collected strays and abused dogs....I am a softie really.
Nick tells me I can not save all of the neglected animals in the world, but I have helped a few!! haha But I don't think I will be allowed to adopt anymore pets!! : )
However all the hair, muddy paws, vet visits etc still can't change how entertaining, hilarious, and loving pets are!!
I was just laughing today cause my tough golden Cosmo has become great friends with our cat Orka. Orka is a 8.5 year old stray cat I found abandoned on the side of the road way back in 1999. She and her sister Bailey were about 4 weeks old, and looked like little rats as they were so young ( too young to be taken from their mother) They were obviously dumped by some jerk. I took these kitties in as I felt horrible for them, they stood little chance of survival. Nick needless to say was NOT impressed with the new kitties as he is not a fan of cats.However the cats are still kicking. these were the first animals I managed to take in!! Next was our dog Cosmo, he wasn't actually a stray we paid for him!! He was out first dog, and we had waited for a very long time to get him as we needed to have a house before we got a dog. So then we had three animals. After that we picked up our dog Molly, Nick and I got custody of her in my parents divorce as my Dad worked shift work and was unable to take care of her. And finally we recently acquired the lovely Angel sock eater extradorinare.....our hosue is full.
I must say though it is a lot of animals and a lot of cleaning, however the daily entertainment and amusement they give you makes it all worth while!!
I love the pets....as I mentioned my dog Cosmo has recently befriended our cat Orka, he used to chase her every chance he got, they now have some sort of a truce going?? Nick and I can't explain it, but i have a picture that says it all. cosmo's tough guy image is not ruined!!! He's a reformed cat chaser!!

I totally know what you mean about pets. I have had quite a few in my life, and I am down to three (soon to be two :( and I am ready to just have the two. I guess I am getting old. Or maybe just tired of having to say good bye.
