Yeah. Toys rarely last more than half an hour with Prata, but the Tuffy bone has and it has been her favorite for two years.

Awwwwww

Say hello to my new fur baby. My friends who foster helped pull her from the gas kill shelter on Thursday and I took her home yesterday night. She was brought in to the shelter as a stray because she got in a fight with someone's dog but I can't imagine that she started it. She was tested around my friends' dogs and cats and did swimmingly. She is such a sweet lovebug that wants to cuddle a lot. I think she is still adjusting since she seems tuckered out and has been sleeping a lot. The shelter called her Bailee but I will probably rename her. Right now I'm considering Sasha, Chloe and Rue. Names are hard..

Also, she is a bit skinny (can see her ribs and her hip bones protrude) and she might have allergies since she is a bit itchy. It could be because she wasn't on a good diet but I'm probably taking her to the vet this week regardless. We aren't sure if she's spayed or not either. She's around 3 years old, doesn't seem to have the physical characteristics of having gone into heat at least once and has a faint scar in the right place.

My friends seem to think she might have some mastiff in her since her snout is a bit longer but I think she's just a purebred boxer that isn't quite up to breed standard. She is 100% adorable anyways.

What a cutie! Frankly, I’d sleep in one of those beds if it were human-sized. I’m sure she’s overjoyed to be in a home again and probably processing all the new people, places and events. It’ll take her time to get into the routine.

Omg that face.

Funny you should say that! You may want to check out the Plufl

I remember seeing this on Shark Tank and loved it. However, if I bought one, all 3 dogs would just take it over on me.

Blep.

Can you spot our evil cat Rowena and the innocent Christmas tree? Check the zoomed-in photo for another clue.

I think you found Eleima's spirit animal.

Hey, I have that hoodie!

I finished 2022 by reading a cat manga with my cat Joséphine on my lap:

Her new toy that hasn't been destroyed (yet)

Meet Malla. Our second Cavapoo (F1B this time, so 75% / 25% Poodle / Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). Named for Chewbacca's wife Mallatobuck. She of the brains and the silky hair. Name means "beautiful singer". Hope that doesn't mean she barks too much.

Looks like a total lover.
Is she full size?

She's almost 10 weeks. She was the runt of the liter, but our other Cavapoo ended up at 16 lbs. Right now Malla was 5 lbs at her first vet appointment with us yesterday. I think the poodles in the lineage were smaller sized miniatures. So bigger than toys. Then the spaniel sizes are generally in the mid teens lbs for weight.

My bet is the 14 lbs range as an adult.

That sounds like my dog. She was the runt of the litter. They expected her to be 10 lbs but then at, is it 8 months the halfway growth point?, she was 8 lbs. But instead of being 16 lbs, she ended up at 13 lbs.

She looks adorable!

Do any of you have personal experience with a quality laser pointer that isn't junk and will last?

Obligatory pics of 2 of our 4 cats who are being my work buddies today, one on the right side of the desk, the other on the left:

Suki, who is almost 17 and has cancer in her nose. She's not complaining about pain, yet, so she's still our little angel cat:

And Twizzler, the kitty we inherited from my Nephew when his mother died and he moved in with us some years ago:

Did you know Swiffer duster handles are favorite dog toys?

Billie has been trying out harnesses. This one was too big, but she took a great photo in it.

Here she is trying to play with the cute dog in the mirror. (Don't judge me for my messy room)

And she has discovered the joy of naps on the couch in the afternoon sun.

"Paint moi like one of your Frrrench doggos..." (paws the air suggestively)

" What? No! Not the poodle! What are you doing?"

It was Billie's first birthday this week! This weekend she got a pupcup of vanilla custard to celebrate, a new tug toy and a bone that she just loves. And I can't believe how awesome she is.

Oh! Forgot about getting back to this thread. We have a couple fun new additions. I'm helping a neighbor with her new red poodle by giving him short jogs to get his energy out and train him. His name is Monty (short for Montreal). It's fun getting to spend a good bit of time with a dog! We basically jog 1 mile to the beach and back about 3 times a week as it stands. Once he gets a bit older and his bones fuse, we should be able to do my normal 4 mile runs or at least 3 miles.

And then there is Annie. We took in a starving stray cat that we thought was feral for like a month and let her be, but she got stuckish up a tree in our neighbor's yard and we lured it down with some food. She was super affectionate (my guess is she was with an irresponsible family with kids), so we got her in the garage and quarantined her from our other cat, Malu. Like a month later, we've got her tested and whatnot, and we have to quarantine them for a bit longer while she goes through dewormer stuff, but she doesn't have FIV or anything. It's gonna be interesting to see how they get along, because they are both pretty territorial and hissy so far seeing each other through the screen door we have set up.
