Default Mans Best Friends...

... well, my best friends anyway. Part of the family, best pets one could ever have.

Sharing part of my life with you all -

Duke - Hunterway Header farm dog - has a few brain cells missing (got his head stuck in jellymeat can when a pup, was on his last few breaths, but all is well now). He is unaware of his weight/size and thinks its ok to jump on the cat at playtime... But still comes up on my knee for a cuddle. I prefer to refer to him as my slightly intellectually challenged dog.

Jess - the most loved, and cuddley dog in the world. Cant keep her tongue in her mouth, has to lick you all the time, has to have cuddles all the time. My husband's best friend and shadow...

Buffy - what can I say... she spends most of her time sleeping. She is a "don't pat me unless I want it" kinda cat, one who will get you when you least expect it... But still lovely.

Duke, Jess and Buffy, it could be a new transatlantic sit-com Michelle, they sound great fun and company, and these are great pictures

Thanks Beachcomber. It certainly is not boring with this lot around. The two dogs and the cat sleep and play together. Its a nice mix.

Awww... they are wonderful. Love the title "Buffy the Mouse Slayer"
Great pictures of your furry family... I must say that I have a intellecutally challenged pup also... but he's learning from my other dog and he is very sweet.

very nice portraits . I personally don't prefer to go near dogs and cats. But they are looking cute when see them from far.

Very nice, Michelle. Your text describes them just as they appear in the shots.

Is it an artefact, or does Buffy the vampire mouse slayer have one really long whisker? That is really a "Pat me when I tell you to" expression you've captured there.

Thanks for sharing part of your family with us.

Hi Michelle, you have some cute pets. I really like the second on. Mainly because I love dogs and Jess looks like is a lovable pup.
