Pico is adorable! My Chihuahuas hate clothes LOL!

Your sweater puppies? We have another thread for that.

The Pinto Pups want in! :D
Bimbo left, Scholar right. Scholar was clipped prior to his arrival here. His coat will grow out again and he'll look like his old glorious self once more.

Darn it I thought this was the pink nosed puppy thread!;)

Hush Puppies?

Cassia
 

This would be my bitzer, Cassia (pronounced KAH-shah). She's just over a year old, and that leopard is her favorite chew toy EVAR!!! Cassia was a rescue pup that I got through the dog rescue I worked for in North Carolina. She and her three siblings were in a laundry basket in the gas chamber at the pound, ready to be put down, when they were rescued. Only Cassia and her sister survived; the two boys in the litter were too weak to handle the residual gas in the chamber and passed away shortly after being rescued.

Sweetheart!!! What a sweethead! Hello Cassia...What a sweet dooogggyyy! Yes!

We can't handle a house without kitties any longer so we headed to the animal shelter this weekend. We've put our names down on these two runts, so hopefully we'll get them. Our previous cats were calico and black as well, so I guess this only makes sense :)

put your names down? couldn't you take them on the spot?

The calico kitty is in the "stray" section, meaning it just came in and hasn't been fully processed yet so they can't release it. That should just take a few days.

The black kitty is too young to be released and is in foster care for a few more weeks.

Rules, rules, rules...

They do have a "ready for immediate adoption" area, but unfortunately this is not a no-kill shelter (so much for Austin being so progressive, eh?) so the ones in the "stray" section only make it to adoption if there is space and they pass the health/temperament tests. "Stray" in the shelter's case means stray or owner surrendered. Our dog Molly was an owner surrender from this shelter.

There were great ones ready for adoption but we figured they were already safe so we looked for ones on the bubble.

We also noticed lots of Chihuahuas (Chee Hoo-Ah Hoo-Ahs to you Les Nessman fans) at the shelter, so I can only assume the fad of buying little dogs to carry in your purse like Paris Hilton is waning and now the dogs are being surrendered...

I see; thanks for clarifying. will keep my fingers crossed for ya!

I took this pic with my mac's camera so its not so great - but you get the idea.

grumpy kitties!

I love the way the ears poke through the elf-hat!
