I have a pet. He's a Chinese Crested Powderpuff dog. You know those hairless dogs? Well, THIS Chinese Crested has hair, and he is the cutest thing ever.

This isn't him, but this dog does look a LOT like him. His name's Andy. He's my little baby.

That's a great dog you got there. I don't know why pit bulls have a bad rap. This guy doesn't look so bad.

This is Milo, my six year old yellow Lab. Don't tell him he's a dog, he thinks he is a person.

I hate Webshots. Every time I link to my photo it tells me it's moved.

There are no words to express the feelings I have for my best friend. He is such a part of my life. My job is to make sure he has a happy life. He has sure made mine that way. He has taught me the true meaning of un-conditional love. I would be lost without him. I would like to introduce my best friend Prancer.

This is Lady Bug, a Yorki-Poo She is now 5 1/2 years old and she's my little baby girl.

We recently had to lay our old dog to rest and she immediately knew her role in our ordeal, helping us get over our loss of Baby Dog.

Best friend I had in the world I had to put down 2 yrs ago. We and Gina for 15 1/2 years. She was an Alaskan Malamute, very smart, very bossy and my constant buddy from the time she was born. I told the wife I will not do that again. Had to do the same thing with our first dog, a shepard/husky mix we had for just over 16 yrs.

3 cats live with us but we didn't pick them. 2 came with my daughter and her family when they moved in with us. When they moved out 3 yrs later, the cats would not go. The third was left when neighbors moved and didn't take him. He started to lay on our brick wall so we fed him. Had a hard time getting him to come in the house but he eventually got used to it. Now he hardly ever goes out. He prefers to stand in the open doorway and look around outside while I am trying to push him out with my foot. He jumps backward in a goofy, leg flailing flip and down the hallway to "his" chair in the bedroom.

Wife and I make great staff for critters!

Wow. That's a lot of pets. You must be a HUGE animal lover. How do you have enough money to take care of all of them?

We are, and my wife has been in the pet grooming business for almost 20 years.

3 indoor cats at our house now, 2 Bengals and a DSH. One of them we're watching while a local kid is on deployment.

The Bengals



The big panda cat.



Also have an outdoor cat, desert tortoise, and mini dachshund.
