Just last week my wife and I got a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We rescued her from a shelter about an hour away. She's an awesome dog, very calm, very good with kids. Her name is Princess and she is 3 years old.

What do you think?

Awwwwwww.....thanks for sharing! I think that little face is precious as can be! I love Corgis, too, but then, I just love dogs, lol.

GOOD FOR YOU for rescuing. If I ever can afford another pet, that is what I will do. Glad you found one another and that Princess now has her "forever home."

My second pet is actually my son's pet. My youngest son's living situation changed so I offered to do my part by taking in Olivia, my very first "grand furbaby." Otis was ten years old at the time, and he had always been the only pet. It took me an entire week end to get them used to one another, but I gave her own private place in my closet, where she can get away on her own (and get fed so the big dachsie doesn't steal her food, lol). Soon, they were not only used to one another but they sleep on the same bed often! I think it is fun to have them both, but the one thing that I will not miss when she goes is the little box. However, our love for her helps me to put up with that...for now.

Olivia is a beautiful cat, and the only cat I have known who will come to me when I whistle, lol. I brush her and care for her, and she is a very sweet, friendly cat. My youngest son rescued her from a shelter when she was two year old, so she is around 3 and 1/2 years old now.

I have a beagle/spaniel mix named Sweetie that is four years old. She is a real handful, but always keeps me company when I am working by sleeping on my blankets. All in all, shes a pretty cool dog.

I also have a saltwater aquarium with a variety of fish and snails. It is very relaxing to just watch the fish sometimes, and keeping a tank going is not very hard at all!

I LOVE beagles, but then, of course, they are also in the "hound dog" class. I love her name. Your aquarium does sound like a nice, relaxing thing to have as well.

Thanks for sharing, and when you get a chance post a pic of Sweetie. 🙂

Hi Hope,
this thread is just for me,as I just love animals, and just like you, especially dogs! I sometimes even prefer spending time with them than with some people.. They're the real friends that are always ready to listen to your problems and never leave when you need them!

As a story of my pet is quite sad, I'll just regret telling it to you. All I can say is that take care of your pets and never be lazy to take a walk or play with them!

I am sorry to hear this! Maybe it is time to get another pet? I walk my Otis every day, no matter how bad I feel. He looks so forward to his walks, and I figure it is the least that I can do for him, because he brings us such joy.

i have BUlldog , it`s terrible dog . don`t buy it you`ll regret 😂:D

I think Bulldogs are cute as heck. In fact, some dogs are "so ugly that they are cute." Don't bulldogs usually have good personalities? You crack me up, saying it is a "terrible dog." Reminds me of my friend who has a crazy chihuahua named Sarge. She calls him, "nasty," but I know she loves him dearly, lol! I am only one of two people outside that family who Sarge will let near him.

What is your Bulldog's name? How old?

yeah, my neighbor has pit bull, it's an awful dog 😐 disgusting, sometimes I'm very sad about it, but actually I can't even think of him as a PET

I feel sorry for pitbulls. It is not their fault that owner's have horrible motives for wanting them. However, due to past experiences (not personal, but hearing things) I can't even trust the "tame" ones.

Otis the "wonderdog." lol

Trying to upload a couple more. Otis at the lake and my little "burrito," lol. Also, Olivia, or "Livvy Lou," as I sometimes call her.

As a father of young children who has read about children being killed by these sorts of dogs I can say that I don't think anyone has a reason to own a pitbull. They are bred to fight, they have no place in a someone's home.

Hope I love the burrito picture. So cute! When I saw your dog was called Otis and then you posted a cat I was thinking it had to be called Milo, from on old film the Adventures of Milo and Otis.. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097050/

Slim, good choice of names. She looks like a princess and I guess she's a corgi so the name fits!

I get that a lot, CL-Ed, but nope. He was named after the Mayberry town drunk, Otis, lol, with a bit of Otis Redding thrown in for good measure, in memory of my dad, as I said. Oti's breeder told us we picked the puppy with the cutest face, and he does have so many different expressions. My middle son is the one who wrapped him up in his blanket, lol. Dachsies also love to burrow under blankets, get themselves in tight spaces, etc., as they were bred to burrow, too.

As far as the pitbulls go, I have a story. Where my mom stays in FL the son of the man she rents from had a pitbull. Mom was not afraid of the dog at all, and he was gentle and the owner had him for eight years. Nice family pet, right? Well, mom had an older couple over to play cards and the minute the man got out of the car, the pitbull knocked him down and bit him. It could have been much worse, but it did require a trip to the E.R. The shocking part was IN EIGHT YEARS that dog had NEVER bit anyone or shown aggression. It could not have been that the dog had anything against men, either, because the owner was (obviously) a man. I hear these stories of how unpredictable these dogs can be, and I can and never will trust them, no matter how friendly they are said to be.
