Million Dollar Pet Pix

Angel, my first therapy dog. In February 1992, in the Stirling paper's “Pet of the Week” column, I saw a picture of a beautiful border collie who reminded me of my old dog, Heidi, that I had just put to sleep. When I saw her, it was love at first sight. She was a real pet, so we named her Angel. She was very submissive and very loving. Although her publ ...

The newest addition to our family is this absolutely beautiful puppy that is a cross of a rottweiller, shepherd and Akita. This little gal was brought to me when I was quite ill recently. She was placed in my arms where she remained for an hour, calm and soothing. Her only move was to place her head on my shoulder. True puppy love.

When her owner came to take her back home, I cried. It had been such a peace ...

Kelly was my best friend, literally, for 15 years and 7 months she was always there for me.  She helped me through two weddings and a divorce. Kelly was one of the reasons that I am still here today.  She cheered me up when I needed it and calmed me down when I need that too.
 
Kelly was a furry ball of a tornado, that tore into our hea ...

This is a photo of our beloved Snooks who we know is now in pet heaven. We got Snooks when he was just a pup and he quickly became part of our family. Like all great dogs, Snooks or Snookie as we sometimes called him, would welcome us with a big grin, ots of yapping and sometimes a lot of jumping.

My best memory of Snooks was when he would go camping with us. He'd jum ...

Woooof woof!

My name is Scooter and I belong to a great kid named Chris. I adopted Chris when he was just a toddler when his Mom and Dad came to our place looking for a pet pal for their little guy. I'm a Bichon Friese breed of dog. This is as big as I get and I'm pretty old now. While Chris is 10, I am now  56 (in dog years that is)!

I still like to play with a fris ...

Brit is our noble looking little pup who has become our new best friend. Don't you just love her markings and color?

Brit loves to be outdoors and likes to lie in the sunshine whenever she can. Sometime we think she may be a cat in disguise. She is fascinated by cell phones, so much so that we think she wants her own!

This little dog would make a fox look stupid. She gets us to play & ...

Stuie our pet dog is a true friend of our family. He's been with us since I was a pup myself and we've lots of cool adventures. The best one was when I was allowed to go with two of my friends on an overnight campout in the hills close our house in the country.

We decided to do the survival game. Didn't take a lot of stuff with us. We took almost no food and no sleeping bags or gear like that. We didn& ...

Scooter the Second is no ordinary dog. He's our family pet and a really friendly guy.
He's always happy and spreads happiness to others who met him. We think this is his calling... to just bring a smile and joy to others.

For this reason we have taken Scooter II on many visits to retirement and nursing homes as well as hospitals since he was just ...

Our adoptive pup is called Jupiter. As you can see from his eyes he is not smiling, yet, but we hope that living with my wife and I will make him feel better.

When we decided to get a dog we both agreed that we would adopt. We wanted to help an animal that was homeless, to give a stray a good home. So our journey began.

We went to a lot of local shelters and heard a lot of ...

Lola is every ounce a lady and seems to love it when our young daughter Becky dresses her up in fancy togs like she is here in this pix.

Lola trots around the house in her frilly sweaters and accessories as though she dressed herself.  She spends a lot of time in front of our hall mirror looking at the outfits she is dressed in.

When our daughter used to try dressing our cat, it was not the same at all. ...
