Haven't had one of these in a while. I adopted/rescued my wonder pup from the city of Calgary pound almost a year ago. They estimated she was 3 years old at the time she was caught and she spent almost 4 months in lockup with little to no interest from anyone as she had "issues" (resource guarding/anxiety etc). I decided to give her a chance and she has become a relatively well adjusted little pooch.

Yes, how did you know???
Well, actually it's because when she was a kitten, her ears were pointing even more away from each other than they do now..

Usually I'd agree with you.. both our pets are some my girlfriend already had before I met her.. our cat is very social though.. has never been hostile towards humans, but she likes to teach our dog a lesson sometimes though

Here is a photo of my Chocolate Lab Sammy (age 10) and Brandy our Golden/Lab mix (13 years) out at the pool.
And here is a photo of our Rhodesian Ridgeback/Lab mix Abbey (3 years old)
They are all very obedient and lovable dogs. They are truly a pleasure to have.
Here is Buddy, our five year old Black Lab. See that tree in the backround? It took him two seconds to get from that tree to th current position in the photo! He's a constant motion machine. But very friendly but certainly a wilda** dog!

Lusi is just starting to calm down and she's only half lab. Every time I hear the "my lab is STILL crazy at 5+ years old!" story, I cringe... Her "spazzy" stage was a thing to see. OMG...

I never really was a cat person either I was brought up around dogs. My sister brought Lillith because she'd always wanted a cat however as soon as she took the cat home it only wanted to be with me. She is quite affectionate though and quite naughty. When she thinks no one is watching she'll take a swing at one of the dogs (usualy Rex) then he'll get into trouble for chasing her through the house.

I'm a dog person to be honest. However, our cat was rescued. She was a kitten abandoned by her mother who though we were Social Services or something. She had a litter of about 4-5 and this one was rejected. My sister waited all day to see if the mom would take it back and when it never did, she talked my parents into keeping it. Just a few weeks later, a second litter could be heard in our backyard and yet another cat was abandoned.
On this picture, that cat is barely 3 weeks old. We gave him away to a family friend.
Now, I don't really like cats because to me they seem to have this bitchy attitude, but at the same time, their personalities are something incredible. For instance, our cat got jealous when we brought the little tyke above to the living room. She sniffed and turned her back on us and hid under the couch. When my sister once went to grab her, she hissed and clawed back. Downside to having a cat? All the hair...my sister practically cleans the living room twice a week and vacuum is a must.
