Animal Mania

With some prompting from Nicole I've decided it's time to blog about all my pets. I've managed to get a picture of everyone, so here ya go!

*Tidbit is our calico cat who lives exclusively in the house. She's quite spoiled and rightfully the "queen" of her domain. :-) She tolerates Jeremy and I both, but Jeremy is definitely her favorite. If he is sitting down, she's likely to be found in his lap. Otherwise, you can most often find her curled up next to the electric heater in Levi's room. She's an incredibly friendly loving cat until strangers enter the house....then you would never even guess we had a cat. lol She's more often called "Kitty" than "Tidbit", and Levi's name for her is "Eee! Eee!" because he thinks that's the sound a cat makes. ;-)

Good ol' Dolly! My first baby. Hard to believe I've had her 7 years now. She's a lot less hyper than she used to be (which is a good thing!) and she spends most of her days asleep, but in sight of me. She is my shadow for sure. She loves to play fetch with her rope bone or play ball in the yard.


Enjoying a sunbeam:


Molly is our German Shepherd/Lab mix and she'll be 4 in March. She was from a "surprise" litter of puppies we ended up with. :-D She is a GREAT dog, especially now that she's past her puppy stage (which lasted 2 years!) She is friendly with strangers, but keeps away the coyotes and other critters at night. Her and our cats get along well, as do her and Cocoa. She's a really sweet, loyal, and smart dog.


Cocoa, the lucky one! The puppy Jeremy threatened to rename "Bumper" since she got hit by the truck's bumper. lol! Cocoa is a typical crazy hyper puppy but we can tell she is incredibly smart. She is growing so fast!!!! She's already bigger than Dolly and she weighs 22 lbs at not even 3 months old.

Silly dogs:



"Remnant" was a pretty wild kitten at first but she has tamed down and is pretty nice to visit, so we kept her from one of our last litters of kittens. She's very pretty.

Graphite is another beautiful kitty we just had to keep. She is sooooo silly and it took me 2 days to find her sitting still long enough to get her picture! She and Remnant are both outdoor cats.

Smudge is "Mama Kitty" and one of our oldest cats at almost-3. She's a sweet, smart kitty and a wonderful momma cat! Her kittens always turn out really nice too.



This is Percy, another very silly, very friendly cat. She's also from the last litter of kittens and we kept her since she is so friendly.


These are all the cats we have right now. My favorite Zeke, our beautiful neutered male, disappeared while we were on vacation. :-(


And that is all! My crazy, silly great pets. :-) Now you've "met" them all.

Yep, 5 outdoor cats at the moment. For a while we had 3 inside (had to get rid of two) and a couple months ago we had 15 outside! That was with 2 litters of kittens. lol!

Your cats are beautiful! So are your dogs. Thanks for blogging about them! They look like a lot of fun :o)

I can't believe how big Cocoa is already. She's going to be a massive dog!
