That's what I used to call that as well. They have Budda bellies

The dog that's sitting looks almost like one of mine from this angle. Yours might be bit bigger.

She's the smallest of the three, about 40 lb. The black and white one has a significantly larger frame, almost as big as the brindle one, but only weighs 48 lb. The brindle dawg weighs 70 lb.

The offshoot of that is that Zelda, the smallest one, is very strong and sometimes tugs hard on the leash. :cursing:
 
Boyd looks like our Beau, but Beau has some ragdolll so a little fluffier on the hair.
 
Is Boyd pretty vocal? Most of the Siamese I've known (never had one) have been pretty vocal ...

Looks like there was a fight in its past with that one earlobe. 😊

That's a result of his (unwilling) participation in the local TNR program (trap, neuter, release) during his stint as a feral prior to being left at the rescue we got him from.
 
I mentioned this in RTDNTOTO, but we added to the menagerie.

We adopted Sully, the gray tabby, on Saturday.

The animals are all working it out. So far the dogs are like, Meh, whatever and Iggy and Sully have been trying to find equilibrium. Sully is 6 months old, Iggy is a year and a half. I thought he looked big for 6 months be he was actually born at the shelter so they know the exact date. He's pretty leery of the humans in the household... sometimes... but if you can get him on your lap and give him scritches he turns into a very loud purr machine.

For about an hour or two yesterday the cats were chasing each other around; mostly but entirely Iggy chasing Sully. But they would take breaks. We are feeding them separately and have separate litter boxes right now. We keep Sully in my wife's office at night. When I got up this morning the two cats couldn't wait to get back together but so far no chasing, just amicably sharing the water bowl and stuff. So I think this will work out.

Sully is short for Sullivan Baloo, Corporal of the Queen's Guard.

PeachFuzz LOVES all vehicles. Trucks, cars, trains, etc. To be honest, it just recently occurred to me how cool I could make my job sound to him. I've definitely been missing an opportunity to get him excited about planning!

My little (1.5yo) loves all the vehicles as well. We live next door to the public works building so she gets super excited to see the dump trucks, plows, and especially the street sweeper coming down the road.
 
RIP Winston April 2010 - 27 August 2024 He passed away in the wee hours of the morning. My son slept on the floor with him and had Winston's head in his lap when he breathed his last. He was such a good dog. :cry:

I took this picture of him last evening. I was pretty apparent he was close to crossing over.

Such a hard day and following days. I am already trying to prepare myself to go through this (again) in the next year or two. I know what you are going through.
 
So sorry. I've only experienced this once, back in 2019, and it still upsets me.

I have two other dogs, almost 9 and 10, and I can't even imagine what it will feel like to lose them.

We've had at least one dog in our house for 20+ years. Whenever my wife talks about getting another one, I've been shooting the idea down. It's not that I don't want another one. I'm just not sure I could handle the loss of another dog after my two boys now move on.

I feel the same but went three weeks between my last and current dog; going on 12 years old. But the tradeoff for that heartbreaking day and following days, months, years, is the time you do get to have them around.

When our female cockatiel died earlier this year (while we were on vacation), we just couldn't bear to leave our male alone all day, so we found a new female after about two months. She is about 12 years younger than him, but they get along pretty well.

Scary time
License renewal told me NOT to smile, so this is what we got...
Apologies to underage viewers.

I was just talking with my dog and she said, "Memba when I got hit by that car and all I got was a lousy cone of shame?" Don't worry, it was 7 years ago. She lived.
