Here is the Bailey (who is a long haired Dachshund mutt I think) with the Cat. The Cat was the best animal I ever had but died a little while ago after a stroke. You would never know it by looking at his eyes but he was blind from a brain tumor crushing his optical nerve,

Another of Bailey, looking at the squirrels out the back window:

Here is the Kitty which is my new cat. He is my third favorite cat of all-time. Super gregarious and fearless.

Why stop there! I long-term dog-sat this Belgian Malinois named Rex that is the most perfectly trained dog I have ever met. Awesome family dog until you give him commands in German and then he immediately turns into a work machine.

Here are my 2 favorite foster dogs Max and Roxy. The beagle was an absolute shit disturber that especially loved to ambush Roxy when she was napping. Look at those eyes; he knows he is being a dick. They were inseparable.

And finally a dog that I helped look after for a while: Red exhausted after a long walk. He was shot and paralyzed defending his owner during a home invasion.

We never thought Red would ever find a forever home as he was so very labor intensive but it did happen after 2 and a half years! Here is an up-lifting video about that. See the green rope in the pic? Watch for the green things in this vid. He absolutely loved green for some reason.)
