Pets...you gotta love 'em! (3)

We did have to hide the cat from the Siberian Husky. He would have killed the cat. He was a fantastic sled dog and great with my kids and very devoted to me considering we were told they do not make great pets. He would take his dog house for a walk and move the wooden picnic table holding it by his teeth.

The half husky Shepard, thought she was the mother to kittens a stray cat gave birth to. She also liked to like porcupines and was a terrible sled dog. If the sled was attached to her harness, she would run away from the sled ... she never did catch on that the sled was going to keep following her until I untied it.

The kittens loved playing with the weasels. The male cat loved the Husky Shepard. If humans could have learned how to get along these two were the perfect example. He would hold her face in his paws and lick it. She loved him from the time he was born. This dog had sore legs after another dog entered our yard and attacked her while she was tied up, and the cat would sit on her legs when she was in pain and she would relax and go to sleep. If she was sleeping in a certain position, the cat would be right behind her sleeping in the same position.

We had a cat that would predict my son having a seizure, sometimes 24 hrs before it happened. That cat loved my son and no one else was good enough. Could not have asked for a better cat.

We have 2 dogs at the moment. One visits adults dealing with disabilities. she never barks when visiting, but at home, she is the boss and always lets the other dog know it. Both dogs have great character and were rescued from abusive situations. The other dog is the one you see sitting with me in my profile photo.
He is my shadow. Very easy going most of the time, but not always comfortable with men wearing hats or sun glasses. Guess you could call him my guardian angel. The other dog loves to sit on Brian and if any one or another dog comes near Brian, she stands up and lets it be known she owns Brian. It is quite comical the way she plays with our feet. Right now she is so Knackered from visiting the individuals with disabilities. To see how some of the individuals liven up, or sing when she is visiting, is something special. She stays calm no matter what they do, and she lets them pet her and gives them kisses. She is so patient with others, it is amazing to watch. She went into a boss's office to day in the middle of a meeting, boss picked her up, and forgot she was sitting on his knee. It was funny to see.

My kids when much younger brought home salamanders they found out in the woods behind our home. Guess that was better than the snakes, weasels, squirrels, foxes or bear cubs that might have been mistaken for a new pet.
