Just another memory I wanted to share

Spunky, my maine coon mix, Sophie and Gracie, my Golden Retriever. I took this shot in the either 1999 or 2000.

I miss this trio, they were bonded with Gracie, the Golden Retriever, as the elder member. Gracie helped me raise the other two, or did I help her? I worked back then so I'd be gone for at least 9 hours on the weekdays. Right now I have a duo, Ally and Boobear, but even though I love those two dearly I still miss Gracie, Spunky and Sophie. Come to think of it I miss all of them, I hope I get to see them when I cross that rainbow.

They actually didn't care if I took pictures or not, they were always napping together and naturally I just had to take advantage, I had so many awesome photo ops.

@rebelann So sweet. Beau Teak kitty likes to rub and touch the dogs. Sally tolerates it the most.

@rebelann Leah and her hugeness likes to bully the cats and then lick their heads. Cats really are not into that stuff.

It is wonderful to see a dog resting it's head on a cat.

They are all beautiful and precious. We still talk about our poor fur babies and frequently.

I think it's what pet parents do. Then again doesn't everyone talk about their loved ones who've passed on?

I will keep looking for a lady with lots of cats and dogs around her, and that would be you, right?

Now they are all so nice there sleeping together. The cat looks so fluffy! I am so glad that your life has been filled with so many wonderful furbabies.

@rebelann He is a beauty! I bet he knew it too! Do they differ much from regular cats? I know he was a mix, but I was wondering about the temperament? He seems pretty relaxed with the dogs.

@rebelann You will have to make a post of all of the cats you have had in your life and one for all of the dogs. Your life has been amazingly full of furbaby companionship. I envy that.

Where are they, did the other three pass away? I've lost three dogs, two of them to old age.

They had trees for shade and kiddy pools for water and to wade in @kobesbuddy it's not hard to acclimate to whatever the Great Spirit gives us, most of the kritters I've had would nap when it got hot then get hyper when it cooled down.

@rebelann After I was forced to put Brandy to sleep, my old bull dog Teddy, gave up living. She was his rock, in this world

@rebelann How do you manage to keep your dogs acclimated, to the intense summer heat?
