We PCS'd from Alaska to North/Central California about 2 years ago. She was heading for the Animal Shelter. A vet tech that was married to an Airforce guy here rescued her, but was ready to give her up with the impending birth of their second child. Which turned out to be total bollux. I have no idea why they let her go, but I am thankful. She is an amazing pooch and friend. She is a bit demanding when it comes to attention. She will braw and stuff herself into the most contoured of spaces to let me know I have not given her the alloted time she demands in a day for affection.
She is protective to a fault, affectionate of my kids, even a bit mothering at times and a unrequited sun baby that loves to bask on my couch in my home office while I ply away looking for work in a place that IT is in a sad state of affairs.
I will post some more pics when I get time. :D

I loved reading your post; thanks so much for filling me in on the details. I can imagine how loving Gigi is to your family - she knows the horror you saved her from.
What a truly wonderful and invaluable lesson you have taught your children. Can't wait to see more pictures!:eek:

----------

This is Tagg, I rescued him from a dog breeder that was selling puppies at half price. That monster.
Tagg is another lucky little pooch! I hope that his "redecoration" of that room didn't detract from the very good deed that you have done for him. :)

This is Rahne, one of the two border collies in the family.

She apparently wasn't pleased with how long it was taking me to replace the liner in "her" pool, so she scooted a box over to the wall and took a peek. Then she jumped in, apparently to directly supervise.

Border collie micromanagement, gotta love it. :D

My little guy, Kona.

After my trip to Kona, Hawai'i a few years back (absolutely beautiful part of the world, btw), I happened upon this awesome shephard mix at my local rescue. I immediately went to meet him at the foster family's home, took him home that day, and appropriately named him Kona.

We've been best buds ever since.

We just lost one of our dogs today. Our Black Lab, Miles, died this morning. He was old and lived a great life. I'm gonna miss him.

Here he is, the big guy in the back. The other two are our dogs as well, there's one other that's not in this picture.

So sorry for your loss. It such a huge void, when an animal you loved so much is no longer there.:(

These are pictures of two kittens that our mommy cat had a few months ago.
The thing is, I came to Shanghai to finish my BA degree right BEFORE she had the kittens, so I still have not met these two little runts.

I skype my family all the time, and while we are skyping I can hear these two wrestling in the background all the time :)

Its so cute.


[EDIT]
The mommy, Hermoine, had 5 kittens but apparently my sister gave half of them away.
It would have been nice to have 5 kittens....
haha

Say hello to Theo!

Got him last Friday when England beat Ukraine and Theo Walcott scored...

Playing with his mouse the night we got him.

He's growing so quickly! I think he'll have the run of the house very soon.
