Pet Pics - Our Loyal Friends

"I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive." (Gilda Radner) This collection of pet photos celebrates the loyal furry and feathered friends who share our lives. They bring such joy to our lives that a life without them is unimaginable!

"My loyal and trusty Shih Tzu cross named Boo. He was adopted at the age of 7. Now he is 13 and a very important part of our family. For anyone that wonders about adopting - 'saving' a pet, at an older age, it is definitely worth it. Boo has brought so much joy to our lives." - Susan	"Meet Icarus (Icare in French), a 3-year-old black lab from Quebec City." - Odréanne L.

"This is a picture of my poodle Roshi, doing what he loves to do best - checking out the squirrels." - Hildi Steuart, Silver Star Mountain, B.C.	"This is a photo of my beautiful Weimaraner who is as angelic as she looks. Kind, affectionate, respectful and totally dedicated to her family. She is now 11 years and is a real true friend and companion." - Linda R. from Pierrefonds, Quebec
"This is my baby Coco who is 8 months old. He loves to play a lot with his toys, run and jump around. Coco is an English Angora Rabbit. My angelic Coco is very sweet, gentle and playful." - Maria R.	"Here is a pic of my beautiful Llhasa Ahpso Whitney, who is 12 years old and lives in Kamloops, BC. I love her to pieces!" - Heather G.
"This is a photo of Zak on a slide. He enjoys joining me in all of my zany activities!" - Lori B. of Scottsdale, AZ	"Indian Fantail Pigeons Blackie & White." - Maria
"Trick or treat... just drop the doggie treat in da bed ... I'm 17 and quite comfy right here!" - Andrea L. sent us this photo of Mitaine	Trina the Husky...aka: Bed Bug - Dana and Mike
"This is picture of me and my new puppy Robbie after we survived a near fatal van/motorhome collison on the I-80 while on vacation in Indiana. A 40-foot motorhome that was in the passing lane beside us in the driving lane pulled into us as he said he never saw us, sending us shooting across the passing lane at 65mph head on into a high concrete barrier wall and then he hit us again which sent us into spins for about 300 feet down the road. Needless to say my minivan was totalled but my friend Susan, Robbie and I all survived. Our seatbelts and airbags saved us and Robbie's varikennel saved him, we were battered and bruised and some cuts from flying glass but we are still breathing albeit pretty sore. Along the whole trip we met so many nice people, not only on the road but also at the motels we stayed at all the way from Saskatchewan to New Hampshire and back. We ended up staying in Freemont, IN for three days after the accident and the family who own the Travellers Inn there were so kind to us and had no problem allowing Robbie to stay in the motel room with us. Hopefully our next roadtrip will be uneventful, just us having fun travelling throughout North America. - Jacqueline A. from Regina, SK
"These pics are of our White Shepherd (Lord Gunner) opening presents, which he NEVER eats the paper, and Akira - the black/tan shepherd who doesn't like her pics taken and beats up on poor Gunner! Have a woof day!" - Kara & Paul

"Rutger is our 8 year old cockatiel. She loves kisses and scratches on the head, showers/baths, looking out the window and following you from room to room. She's so curious and loves new places to sit. She once thought the copier feeder tray was a great spot to sit for an evening, we made sure it wasn't turned on of course. When I'm painting in watercolors, I always have to watch because she will fly over and jump into my water dish. If she won't take no for an answer, I'll change the water before she gets in. She was our 'transition' pet when we lost our first dog and she's made a wonderful addition to our family." - Diane from Winnipeg, Manitoba	"Here is a picture of our 3 birds, Tango, Mango & Chiqui." - Sent in by John & Amira of Etobicoke, Ontario

He is a Brown Merle with blue eyes, which makes him even rarer. We just love him so much and would like to post his pic so we can show him off." - Sherry & Rich Winkup
"Our Havanese dog Max is a friendly dog who likes other dogs as well as people. He has added so much joy to our lives and is a great pet, especially since he's non-allergenic and until recently, I was allergic to all dogs. Hope you enjoy his photo." - Sincerely, Monique M.

" Christmas photo of our furr children: Beau, Keesha and Ajona, our Eurasiers. Our dogs have discovered the fun of playing with the empty Christmas wrapping paper rolls - After my two children have finished playing 'sword fights' with the rolls, they give them to the dogs for a rip roaring game of 3 way tug of war. Recycling at its best." - Ray and Judi N. of Surrey, BC	"Peggy is a sweet, loveable, beautiful girl who loves walks, eating, cuddling and, if given a chance, chasing squirrels. Everyone here enjoys your website - it's full of useful information." - Marsi and Doug of Bobcaygeon, Ontario
"The first photo is a picture of my 3 year old Great Dane, Teddy. He was born deaf and travels all over with me. Thanks to your site, he has had some wonderful trips and met some lovely people." Photo #2 is a picture of my Great Dane, Miss Annie. She was also born deaf almost 7 years ago, but that has not slowed her down one little bit. Photo #3 is of our oldest and very first Great Dane, Miss Olyvia. She was born deaf and blind in her left eye and is now 10 years old. She has such a zest for life, chasing after all the younguns around here, keeping them all in line. Photo #4 is Miss Gemma. She is a rescue and our very first hearing Great Dane. She is very amusing and is learning that life is good. She is a favourite at the dog park and is a wonderful addition to our family and proof that we just are no good at fostering dogs... we cannot let them go. :)" - Lin G. from Oshawa, Ontario
