I have two dogs Jack and Sam and a cat named Zeebaw who is not at home recently, they have been with me for the last eight years and they are pretty well attached to me and the family too. They are like the members of our family as my father often says.

it's the same way with our dogs. especially with my mom, who spends all day everyday with them. whenever we travel, i think she worries more about them than for us. :)

We have a female Shih Tzu named Buffy. She is 8.5 in human years. I sometimes tell my kids that Buffy is our eldest since my boys are only 5 and 3!

yes, i love that show. and we notices that when we name our dogs after the cast, they tend to live longer. i know, that's probably ridiculous, but hey, whatever keeps them longer , right? :) well, if you have little kids in a house, even one dog is a handful.

wow! was the name also taken from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? That's so nice for you to have 8 dogs. We only have Buffy and I think we're already a full house: My hubby, 2 boys, a dog, and myself!

my brother was accidentally bitten (well, actually, is was more of a scratch) by our dog. but he still loves that dog even if he had to go through all the injections and stuff.

I too, feel sad dependent had such a bad experience with that cat. When I was 3, I was bitten by our neighbor's mongrel. My parents said I just ran towards the dog and hugged it. That dog bit my cheek and I had to go through all the injections and stuff... Still, I love animals especially cats and dogs.

yes, sometimes.. that is one of the reason why we named him takaw and the other one is ,because of a cartoon character named takaw thats very popular when our neighbor gave "Takaw" to us.

Sadly we went thru a streak where we lost a few very dear dogs to us due to health problems :( At the moment we have 2 dogs. My sister's dog is about 7, she's a mutt we rescued from the pound. A tiny terrier mix. My dog is also a mutt that I rescued from the pound. She's 2. And my cat is 15! I've had her since my 12th birthday.

I have an orange and white cat named Shakti, that I got 8 years ago, the day after I moved into my apartment. I had always wanted a cat, and he was the first thing I got when I moved out on my own. I love cats. He's 10 years old now, as he was two when I got him.

Ive seen a lot of your postings about your dogs. And i think you really love them so much. Like i feel right now i see to it that Nike is my real baby. He is turning 6 years old in humans life next year January 2011. And while he is growing with us i noticed that his face are getting older than what i see in his young days. Our neighbor told me that a dog grows faster than a human. I dont even remember the exact computation if it is multiplied into 4 times, or 7 times per year. But for me he's still my baby dog.
