We have 3 dogs and 3 cats.

Chicky (registered name is Marushka Chickie, we did not name her) 8 year old Red and White Siberian Husky. Was adopted from a Husky rescue place in VA. We have had her 5 years. She was kept by her previous owners for breeding only. I guess she has had lots of liters. She is sweet and gentle mild mannerd and not at all like the stories you hear about hyper Huskies. She is so gentle that she lets the 3 toddlers lay on her and what not. Of all my dogs she is my favorite. She has a lung disease that will never get better and he is on antibiotics full time to prevent pnumonia. So I am not sure how much time we will have with her. She is spoiled and gets to stay inside pretty much all day laying on the couch.

Fuzzy (or Fuzz, because he is a little ball of fur) is a white tibettian spaniel. We got him from the animal shelter. He is a little dog and a little neurotic about the affection he shows his "woman" chicky. He loves loves attention and is a good little lap dog. He is small enough to hide from the little kids. He tollerates them pretty well but when they get rough he hides out.

Gracie (we did not name her) is a tan lab/greyhound mix that we got off of free cycle. The people that were giving her away were going to take her to the pound and said she was a bit hyper. We fell in love with her big brown eyes and sweet personality. And got her home and can't figure out why they said she is hyper. She just wants to be petted and loved. She is a little stubborn in that she doesnt want to go outside and you have to coax her to go out and potty. And because she is really tall she is eye level with the table and kitchen counters...so you have to keep food off of them. We found this out after our butter was disapering out of the butter dish. LOL We think she was hit by her previous owners and she cowers. But hopefully she will learn over time that we are OK and wont hit her.

Isabella (said with an italian accent LOL), is a white and tabby striped cat. She is moody and basicly spends her time hissing at the other cats and sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. She like my DH the best and will sit on his lap and let him pet her.

Pepsi (because he is dark like a glass of cola), is a black longhaired cat. He is still under 1 years old so is very playfull. When he was little he was quite a mean little cat and liked to bite and play rough. He has grown out of that for the most part. He just got neutered, and we got him a playmate so his is mellowing out. He likes to play more than anything with toys and whatnot.

DC (DD 15 named her after the shoes she wears LOL) is our sweet little kitten. I think she is about 2 months old now? She is a little tabby striped kitty girl and is SO sweet. She gives kisses and snuggles all the time. She is very cuddly and sweet. I think she is my fav of the cats. She is learning table manners now, because she likes to get up on the table and eat off your plate. So she is getting a taste of the squirt bottle. But once we have broken her of that habit she should be great!

All of my pets are good. We just lucked out and I have a way with animals. None of the dogs go potty or poop in the house. And the cats are litter box trained. Pepsi had a problem when we first got him with pooping under the coffee table. He was pretty young and wasnt quite trained yet.

I have always had cats and dogs, done fostering for dogs in rescue groups over the years.
