My sisters in law collectively own an entire zoo of critters between them. Your dogs look like a couple of the ones they own that are extremely hyper all the time.
Your cat looks very reasonable.
Right now, we only have a fish for pets. We used to have cats but they all passed away several years ago.

The girls also have a couple of Beta fish, "Bob" and "Queen Pink" and then there is the yellow parakeet named "Pinky". That's is enough zoo for me.
The Lhasa-Poo is nuts. She is more hyper than a Jack Russel Terrier and very smart. She watches how the kids do things then tries to imitate them. It's hilarious to see her in the sandbox with the kids. She climbs better than the cat and I just waiting for the day when I find her on top of the fridge.
The other dog is the sweetest, most laid-back dog I've ever seen. We got her from a no-kill shelter and I think she was abused and negelected. She is learning how to play with toys and keeps the pschyco-dog in line.:tup:
Vast personality differences!

I always wanted a dog, but we only had cats . I love big dogs ,thou I would have settled for a small dog. But it wasn't in the cards for me. I loved my cats and they were in tune
to me and when I went into satatus they wouldn't leave me, but they kept hollowing for Claude.
Animals truly bond with us.

My parents have a 4 year old female kelpie/labrador dog who is very intelegent and is a loyal pet.
When my parents go away I go to their house to look after the house and the dog.
There are times when I'll go have a shower & the dog will follow me into the bathroom & just sit near the shower until I'm finished. If she isn't in the bathroom with me when I have a shower she'll sit by the door until I am finished in the bathroom and then jump on me as if to say she is happy to see me.
My parents think the dog senses that I have epilepsy and is just looking out for me, it wouldn't surprise me if she does know lol.

Here are some of the DOGS I've owned:
This one's KEEISHA - AKC Siberian Red & Liver; to which
I had to give her away, I could no longer handle her and
this was when we were remodeling and I was building the
property that I currently reside. We trained her as a puppy,
and she was not just a "Mush Dog" but also a K-9 (Hand,
Command (Verbal) & Leash) Certified Attack Dog.
This one here is the one that a Police Department had
purchased from me - I will not disclose what Police Dept, but
this dog is still very much active and in service:

Here's what I have - 2 Cats,
the eldest, Cocoa Puff; whom we
adopted - who literally dragged the
bathtowel into the USPS Tare Box
when I was doing eBay, when Duece
of Diamond (aka Diamond), to which
she adopted us prior to a Hurricane,
and she was an abandoned kitten.
Cocoa adopted her and yes, they
do look and resemble alike and are
Brindle Cats. Grandma and Granddaughter.
But they are NOT related.

Hello Everyone....
I think anaimals have a very very very important place..
My cat.... well he thinks he is 1/2 human and I am htinking 1/2 dog.... he hasnt come to the conclusion that he is indeed a cat!!!
He is a mancoon... I am under the belief that in the US they are called barn cats they ae a massive breed... He is 8kg i think you x that by 2.2 to get it in pds so that make 17.6pd
He was bought for me as a pets as therapy animal and has been that and so so so so so much more....
He is always laying with me when I am sick he follws me for days when he knows I am off to hospital and wont get out of my suitcase once it comes out till when I leave...
Not that long ago my father was staying with me and my cat let my dad know I was having a seizure quiet a severe one at that i had dislocated m shoulder and had hit my head..... He kept running out to the lounge room and meowing to my dad... and thought he should see where and found me...
So i think my fella is pretty pretty special...
As I am sure your ones are too all of you

Nosey neighbor
I was opening the back door this morning for the last of these few days we can before it starts to get colder, and a beautiful Calico cat was on the back porch peeking in the back door. I think it was wondering where all the mice had gone from the strawberry patch in the back yard. It didn't have a collar or tags on it, and if it comes in the back door, it might just not get back out. I love Calico cats, and this one looks less than a year old.
