Loungers' Pets

[AmateisGal]

I can't remember if I've ever posted in this thread. I share my home with two collies and an ancient cat.

I can see why you have wood floors with all that hair! lol
I think I need to get a new vacuum - mine doesn't do well with the pet hair (two cats) and then the long hair my daughter and I have. Hair everywhere!

We have a Dyson pet model and it works wonders. When we had Kenmores and Hoovers, I had to buy a new one every year. The key to the Dyson is that all the moving parts can be removed and cleaned.

I recommend a Dyson vacuum. It does a great job of picking up pug puppy fur.

 

[AmateisGal]

I have seen the Dyson pet vacuum and wondered how well it worked. May have to put it on my Christmas list!

 

[Feraud]

We've had ours for 2+ years and I have no complaint against it!

I have to recommend it as well. I've had mine for almost 10 years and it's lasted through 7 dogs (not all at once lol) and two cats.

We have had our for 9 years and it has worked well with our labs and Greyhounds.

Looking to add another to my family. Been shopping for a dog (smaller one, as I'm an apartment dweller) I would really like a Rotty, but it's not feasible right now. Almost had a King Charles Cavalier, but the deal fell through. Talking to a lady with some King Charles/Cocker Spaniel pups, but she wants $500 and I think that's a bit steep.

My two cats, Smoky (or Smokey, it alternates) and Daisy. Smoky named so because of her color, Daisy because it's also two syllables and ends in a "y" (based on that I think you can figure out which is which, but if you can't, Smoky's the black one). Smoky is Daisy's mother, despite the fact that Daisy is quite a bit larger. Both of them are somewhere between nine and eleven years old and boy are they a couple of characters.



Smoky showed up at my house one day, and stuck around until I started feeding her. Then she wandered in enough to be an indoor cat. Then she had kittens and gave me Daisy, who graced me with her beauty and dysfunction. Both of them have given me many a laceration, but I still love 'em.

After 4 years plus surviving cancer it looks as tho Kitty Foyle is letting us know it's time.

Has taken little food, only water, in 48 hours. Ultrasound showed her one good kidney greatly enlarged. Awaiting more results but the folks and I are preparing.

My English Bulldogs. The tan one (Echo) has a really bad Heart Murmur, but she doesn't seem like it! The white one's name is Athena, and she jiggles like jello! Gotta love 'em!

Oh gee. Very sorry to hear this.

The mass tested benign, so she may just have acute pancreatitis, common in elderly cats and curable with a few days' treatment.

The bone marrow is being tested for cancer. If it's there, we'll let her go.

 

[splintercellsz]

I wish you the best of luck, Fletch...

 

[Feraud]

Sorry to hear this Fletch. Here's hoping the marrow test comes back negative for Ms. Foyle.

I hope it's benign as well, Fletch.

This is 12 years old Pauline:

A real country girl and sometimes very infantile for her age

 

[Fletch]

Beautiful kitty.

Our kitty is home for the weekend, skinny, and keeping to herself under chairs. Still no results on that bone marrow, but she's severely anemic and her white count stratospheric - not great, whatever else happens.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I hope that things turn for the better for her, Fletch.

 

[Hepville]

Wish you all the best and that things will turn out well, Fletch!
