I have two worthless american short hair cats that stay indoors 100 percent of the time. I love dogs too, but my lifestyle just wouldn't be fair to a dog. I like to be able to travel and go when I want.........and the cats are fine for up to a week at a time. Dogs are great friends, but high maintenance. I don't want to leave it in my back yard all the time to be lonely or bother my neighbors barking.

Cat haters.

We have a 2 1/2 year old female Siberian Husky named Serena Belle..
She likes to dig holes all over the yard, under the table and right in the middle of the grass. She must eat the dirt because I can never find it to fill them back in.
She waits for me to get home and if I don't talk to her before she goes to bed she will howl, if I do not come soon she will pound on our sliding glass door with her paws until I come. I pet and talk to her then she goes into her igloo and goes to sleep. This is usually about 3:00 A.M. She is a good dog but I think she might have ADHD, sometimes when I call her she just stands there and looks at me.

In order of seniority:
Abby - LARGE black and white cat whose queen of the house and knows it. Mostly lays around and hollars to be fed.
Ratz - small black and white cat with a severe Napolean complex. If you hold her to give her attention she will cuss and hiss somethin' fierce until you let her go, at which time she will turn around and come right back for more attention.
Mick - Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog mix. The self appointed guardian of our daughter when out in public. He knows the rules of the house very well and has also taken it upon himself to keep the cats in line (i.e. when they scratch on the furniture, start rooting around in something that will probably end up broken on the floor.
Sandy - American Pit Bull Terrier. Our 70lb velvety hot-water bottle. This is a dog who never meets a stranger. If you ever come to our house, prepare to have your face covered in Bully kisses and your shins badly bruised by her tail.
Ody and Shiver - Our daughter's two rats. Amazingly smart little critters and very sweet. They don't bite unlike her other pet.
Haley - Our daughter's Dwarf Panda Bear hamster. This little girl was found outside a month or so ago by our next door neighbor's daughter. Apparently somebody had dumped her (most likely due to her actively seeking and attacking any human body part that enters her cage).
We've also fostered many Pit Bulls for Animal Rescue of Tidewater when we were still living in VA. Truly wonderful dogs and my favorite breed by far.

I have a cat he's 4 years old... I think I have a cat that is I see him around twice a month. He technically has me. I feed him when he comes home. He's basicly a loaner. Just took off one day and loves it out here. Sometimes he leaves things he's killed around. Just for us to know he holds his own. Nice Kitty!
Thats MR Hoss to you buddy!

Kelley, are those mini's or Sicilians?? The BOSS hasbeen trying to talk me intogetting one because she thinks they are "cute".....
Chrisreyn, my donkies are sicilian. They are miniatures. they have to be under 36''. My Jack is around 31'' my females are larger . the biggest one is 35''.
Those should make some great dogs. If I didn't have my hands full with the two I already have I'd be interested in taking one of them off your hands.
Hoss,
I Just found good homes for my last 2 puppies today. Gave them away for free. Just made them pay for shots and worming. Going to the vet Monday then will be saying goodbye to the pups. My little girl wants to keep them.
