show us your life: pets!

**Please be prepared to see a sickingly large amount of pictures of my babies!

Today is Show Us Your Life: Pets Edition over at Kelly's Korner! I had to share some pictures of my sweet girls.

Mia

I found Mia two years ago on New Years Eve at a friends house. She was outside in the cold without a collar! I kept going outside to make phone calls to Justin (who was working at the time fightin' crime) because he was supposed to come over (and it's also his birthday!!) after he got off work. This little kitty stole my heart so I took her home (where I lived with mis padres at the time) and I begged them to let me keep her for one week while I found her owners. I put up signs in the neighborhood but noone claimed her so I kept her for good. I love this cat! She is very sweet but has a plethora of weird illnesses that suddently strike. When you talk to her sometimes she does this high pitched chirp and it's so cute. She'll even let you hold her like a baby for however long you want, although not if a ceiling fan is in the room :)

Oh how she loves being dressed up

Molly

Molly was born in a litter of kittens at my friend Sarah's house. We went to look at them one day last year and Justin got really hooked. I'm not sure which one she is in this picture!

We picked her up when she was 8 weeks old and brought her home. She and Justin became best buddies really quickly. She didn't want anything to do with me because she loved him so much. She would always curl up on his chest and take naps. She still does.

Now she's about full grown but all kitten. She's wild and crazy and likes to wake us up in the morning by walking around the bed and crying a low pitched moan. It's so funny/annoying.

She even likes to help her dad set up his layout blind! What a helper!

Even though I don't live in the same house with them anymore, these are still my babies too. I lived with my family until I got married so I have known these animals for a long time.

This is Lucy (chocolate) and Jess (yellow). We got Lucy as a puppy when she was 5 weeks old in 1999. She is such a sweet dog but she barks a lot so the police get called. Poor Lucy! Just trying to protect her family from the crazy neighbors. Jesse was a rescue lab and when I was studying abroad in Spain almost 3 years ago my parents took her in. When I got home she was a suprise. She also helps keep Lucy's behavior in check. It's sad because they are both 10 years old and getting gray.

Lucy

Lucy loves going to the dump with my dad and getting Bruster's ice cream treats!

Jesse

Jesse is always happy. We're her third family. Her first family dropped her and another dog off in the woods and said which ever dog came back first they would keep. Needless to say Jesse did not go back. How sad is that? She finally has a loving home where she gets lots of treats (even though they make her breath s.t.a.n.k.y.)

Little Ted

So at first her name was Teddy because she looked like a teddy bear when she was a few weeks old (born in our house in a litter). Her name has since evolved into Lil' Ted for short. She is skiddish and weird but so sweet and pretty. She is part Maine Coon and her fur is so soft. She spends most of her time upstairs away from the dog and Reagan...

She once got out of the house 2 years ago and after 11 days we found her underneath the shed in the backyard. She's not the brightest. My mom likes to say Little Ted, under the shed, a million times to remind us all that she was almost gone once. Funny.


Reagan

She's kind of a terror but I love her. She annoys my mom to no end and she always threatens she's going to give her away. She cries. All day. If you talk to her she talks back. I can see how that could be annoying. She thinks the recliners are hers and if you try to sit down on top of her she will tell you like it is.
