We have 4 dogs and 3 cats.  My son has 2 min pens Honey and Ginger and I have two Boston Terriers Maxwell and Pixie Dust. The 3 cats are Sweetie (boy did I pick the wrong name for her), Dolly and Satchmo.

I refer to Maxwell as my husband because he sleeps with me and snores, farts and steals the covers. He was constantly by my side during tx. I think at first he didn't get why I wasn't chasing him and playing, but he soon must have felt I was sick and would lay by my side and ever so gently lick my hand or arm.

Each day when I come home from work all 7 of them are at the door to greet me. I put my things on the dinning room table and have what I call a love fest. Everyone of them get a hug, a kiss, pets and scratches.

I sing Hello Dolly to Dolly when we're in the car and it calms her right down. Satchmo gets to hear me sing It's a Wonderful World. Sweetie likes to ride.

Ah.....Sweet..

Do Staffys have a bad reputation over there?....I know Germany they have to be muzzled..
UK has banned the Pit bull and within a few years the breed should die out yet as with everything they are bred and portrayed as cross breeds ....

Many here have Staffys and unfortunately they are falling into the wrong hands...
Mine is adorable and very friendly...........Px

Pixie,
I had to go visit Piggy's site! I have a few friends that have facebooks for their dogs. Piggy looks like a great companion. I have had a pet from the time I was born, until I moved out here to the Cape 2006. I look forward to when we can have one. Meanwhile, I am going to visit my grandbaby, Roxie, the pomeranian my son and daughter-in-law adopted this last year. I have a full album. Someday I will have a human grandchild, hopefully!! LOL

One cat named Cataz; three dogs-1 Yorkie Poo-1 Cocker Spaniel; 1 wire haired terrier and a retired hunting dog named Susie who is the boss.  The oldest gets to be the boss. That is why I am the boss (one year older than my husband...ha...ha..)
