Some of my former bosses

Seeing the pictures I took of baby Chase got me thinking about some of my other pets through the years. So, I scanned a few to share.

#1 and #2 are very young baby pictures of Molly, my current 5-year-old beagle. #3 is Mookie, the hamster. He shared my salad with me, after he stole a piece of tomato from my daughter's salad. He went many years ago to the exercise wheel in the sky. He was a good boy, very affectionate and playful.

#4 is Pepe, who used to eat Spare Cat's food outside on my patio. Pepe was very friendly and would come within a foot or two of me. #5 is Spare Cat, who adopted us. We already had two indoor cats, so he became a spare. He did eventually come in the house and charmed us with his sweetness.

#6 is Bailey. Bailey was not my dog. She was owned by that fine example of eye candy, my former aerobic instructor. He taught a mean power step aerobic class. He taught it 5-6 nights a week, and I was there. Look at him, wouldn't you be there, too? Sadly, he moved out of state.

#7 is my little Wiz at 3 months of age. She is now 16 years old and rules the roost here. She has been the best cat I ever had. She will be the last, since I am slowly developing an allergy to her. She can be an attack cat if necessary. She tried to save me once from two dogs I was dogsitting. They were fighting on my lap and she thought I was in danger, although I was not. She came flying out of nowhere to hiss and spit and back them down. She succeeded. I was impressed.

#8 is Baby, when she had been very sick, and was almost feeling better. #9 is Stinky. Stinky was a stuffed toy cat who went on all the family vacations my daughter and I took together. In this one, we were on a cruise, and Stinky was set up by the room steward to be looking a the nightgown lobster wearing sunglasses. Very cute. My daughter gave away Stinky. I was very sad.

Anyone else want to share pet pictures?
