TFP Pets 2.0

yep. I'm so bad that it sometimes goes, 'I'd really like to sleep but this cat is so comfortable draped over my face.'

 

I'm the same way-- I'm really bad about flailing about when I'm dreaming, so I frequently knock my pillows to the floor, which Benjen takes immediate advantage of. I can't tell you how many times I've gone back to sleep without pillows because he looked so damn comfy


Speaking of Benjen: here he is post-bath, eagerly waiting for a treat. Quality isn't great, since I took it with my phone cam.

 

So Tommy J got into some sort of scuffle getting a boo boo on his cheek. I was monitoring him for a few days and it was starting to heal. However, the healing process is itchy so he kept scratching and opening up the wound. I took him to the vet to get some meds and to see what I could do to prevent him from scratching.

He got a cone.



He's kind of cute with it on. He's used to it now, but last night he kept running into things. I'll probably give him a break from it tonight for an hour while I snuggle with him..

 

Phoenix, our whitefaced pearl pied cockatiel. We've had her since she was 6 mths old. She's 7 yrs now.




Rex, a very snugly Bun. Got him at two, he's 7 now.




Ruby is a two yr old pekingese/ chihuahua/ border collie mix (DNA tested). We just got her in March of this year from a rescue. She is amazing!




Then there's the Admiral, who was going to be snake food but we scooped him.

 

I love my goofy dog.

 

Thank you all for posting your pets.





This was Maggie. We had her for about 9 years.
She was hit by a car and killed the evening before last.
I didn't realize she was so afraid of loud noises, like the pellet guns we were shooting.

 

What a sweet face!
Aw, @Fremen, I'm so sorry about you losing her.

 

Thank you for saying so, @Fangirl. I do appreciate it.

 

I'm so sorry. It is losing a family member. Just sucks all the way around. Hugs!

 

Our rescue pup, former Katrina dog. Part Catahoula Leopard, with a touch of pit bull perhaps. He has a really sweet disposition.

 

Guess this will be the thread I bomb w pics of the beasts.
Haili is our over-weight 10 yr old Lab/Golden cross. The lab in her is often expressed in an overwhelming desire to watch people eat. I think the weight and the attention are related some how.



We recently acquired a pair of brothers. Ulysses and George.

 

Thank you, @RedSneaker. I do appreciate it.
You're right, she was part of the family. It hit me especially hard because I helped her deliver her puppies when she was younger, and we kinda bonded more, I thought.
I had never gone through something like that as an adult. My parents had always done it in the past.

 

I'm sorry to hear this.

 

Thank you, @Street Pattern.

 

That was the same way I felt about my 20 yr old cat Gatsby when I had to have him put to sleep in July. He was mine - not anyone else's. not to say it wasn't sad when we lost other pets in the family over the years. But those I think upset my mom more because they had bonded more than I did with them. So Gatsby was the first pet that moved when I did and slept with me and knew that we belonged together.



This is what he looked like when I adopted him at age 7. For an old cat to be adopted out, I hit the jackpot. I still wonder about the life he had before me and how someone could just leave him and walk away.

Take comfort in your memories.

 

Apparently I now have a lap cat... Or at least a shin/knee cat.



And a lazy dog. Par for the course in this house today.

 

Fremen, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how tough a deal this is. My condolences, bro...
