Proud pet parent of:

Cuddles - mixed breed
Deacon - golden retriever
Tinker - gray and white cat
Frostie (fostering for a forever home)





A man in a Youngstown gas station gave her to my husband and he brought her home. She's part labordor retriever and part dalmation, small but mighty, and very loving, gives hugs.

How we met:

Cuddles - A man in a Youngstown gas station gave her to my husband and he brought her home. She's part labordor retriever and part dalmation, small but mighy. Very loving, gives hugs
Deacon, got him from a family while looking for our neighbor's golden which they had given to a "woman", & she didn't keep the dog. (She is a con artist, which we didn't find out about until we found she didn't keep the dog. Need to let people know Not to give or sell her any animals, as we found she has them a week, then they disappear)
Tinker - a neighbor found her, took her home where she had kittens, when kittens were weaned, we took her in, had her spayed and kept her (they couldn't keep her, already had 4-5 cats)
Frostie - he was out in the cold, we fed him but when it got extremely cold, had his shots and took him in

Deacon - loves to play ball, play with stuffed toys and other dogs, walk, eat, sit in my husband's lap, and sleep with us, loves to run lickety split around the yard or anywhere

Pet dislikes:

Cuddles - other dogs, brushing, or baths
Deacon - being touched while sleeping, doesn't care for brushing or baths

Pet’s favorite spot:

Cuddles - couch, a blanket pile & chair in basement and her own bed, as long as she's not on the floor
Deacon - anywhere he can be around us
Tinker - has one place by the window on our enclosed patio
Frostie - same place as Tinker

Pet’s favorite toy:

Cuddles - she doesn't care about playing much, will pick up one of Deacon's toys sometimes
Deacon - red hard balls, maybe a toy he had with former owners, but loves all toys
Tinker - a piece plastic tie or something she can push around
Frostie - same, and yarn

Pet’s silliest habit:

Cuddles - her hugs, puts the top of her head in your neck if you are lying down or sitting down; loves sitting on my husband's lap and stretching up to his neck, and has to be under the covers, especially her head. Has a way of talking to us and letting us know when it's time to eat
Deacon - jumping on my husband's lap, Oh, he Has to have something in his mouth when we open the door, sunglasses, knitting needles, mouthful of toys, car keys, whatever is available that he can get to. One day he had a pair of sunglasses actually on his face.
Tinker - chases Frostie, pushes the back door open
Frostie - likes warm broth in the evening, jumps in the tub (don't know why)

Pet’s sweetest moments:

Cuddles - When she hugs us
Deacon - Looks at us with those big brown eyes wanting to go for a walk
Tinker - whens he snuggles up to me at bedtime
Frostie - He curls up in a box with a pillow I made and covers his eyes with his paws

I crack up when my pet:

Cuddles - gets in the window & talks to us when we come home
Deacon - jumps in my husband's lap, and plays with his Big Toy Dog, half his size
Tinker - runs in and out the door like a streak of lightning
Frostie - puts his paw in the water dish, and looks at himself

My pet is unique because:

Cuddles - she is the only one that found her own way of hugging us. We taught her to hug with her paws on our shoulders, but she found the way to hug with her head. She won't run away from us.
Deacon - He is a loving, sweet, dog who had a bad beginning, now he has it good & he won't run away from us.
Tinker - he has adopted us, finally
Frostie - he's just a cutie
