Yes

Optional: Tell us a little about yourself

I adore animals and their antics. They make a persons life better. At the moment, I don't have any photos of myself or my furry babies because I've just recently gotten back on the web and as of yet, don't own a digital camera. But when I do, I'm most certainly going to put our pics. up so we'll all know who's who!

Optional: Tell us a little about your pets (names, ages, breeds):

My beagle mix is Patches who's nine now, there's one of my american short hairs named Squeeky who I THINK is somewhere around nine, he adopted us in 2000 from here in the neighborhood, then there's my other american short hair named Lil Fuzzy Nibbles.

Optional: What are your pets' favorite things to do?

Patches loves to go on walks and play with his favorite squeaky toys, and sleep. Fuzzy likes to eat, sleep, and run around out doors. And walk with Patches and me when we go on our walks. While she fusses when she feels we're going too far! And Squeeky also goes on our walks, but with less fussing. When he's not doing that, he enjoys sleeping and eating. And being babied. Along with curling up on or next to my lap on the couch and sleeping their.

Optional: What are their "pet peeves"?

Patches does NOT like getting his paws stepped on or having any body even try getting close to them. He doesn't much like getting his teeth brushed, but he tolerates it. Squeeky doesn't like to be rubbed and scratched, except for when HE wants it done. Or if his food isn't put in his bowl fast enough he starts fussing, making all kind of racket. Fuzzy doesn't like trying to share our home with any other cats that may come along. And she doesn't like sudden moves or noises that are too loud. Nor does Fuzzy like lightning or the vacuum cleaner. Now that I think about it, none of the babies do.

Optional: What are their best tricks?

Squeeky will reach up and stand on his hind legs to get a treat out of my hand. And sometimes he'll grab onto my hand and won't let it go until he gets the food out of it. The other two don't really have anything that they do for tricks.

Optional: How did your pets become part of your family?

I adopted Patches as a pup from a family who was getting rid of their dog's litter. Squeeky had belonged to a neighbor a few doors down until they moved and didn't take him with them. Then he started coming over here to eat and he stayed. He showed up not too long after I brought Patches home. And Fuzzy, I got from another family who was getting rid of a litter that one of their cats had.
