Ever met a dog that just seems a few froot loops shy of a full box? This pup belongs to my roommate (but it stays with his parents). It's deaf, going blind, prone to seizures, and endearlingly stupid. I'm hoping Ed (yep, its name is Ed) visits our house more often.
This is what happens when my back is turned, concentrating too hard at my desk. SOMEONE went downstairs to the bed, stole a blanket off of it, and somehow managed to drag it back up the stairs and fall asleep behind me. It couldn't have been easy, getting that up thirteen steps.
This is a picture of my parent's cat. She's a munchkin which means she's been bred to be smaller than a typical house cat and have extra-short legs, basically the cat version of a wiener dog.
Thanks for the tears Dcc! That made me think of the Dobie I had to have put down almost 10 years ago. She was young and became critically ill. After about 5k worth of tests, specialists, 2 weeks of hell and misery, with no answers as to what was causing the illness she was put to sleep. It was horrible. The no answer part was the worst. They took all kinds of samples from her after. I gave them permission to so they could try to figure out what she had and hopefully help save other dogs and/or Dobies. They never found out what I lost her to. That's the worst part. To lift the thread here is a pic of a GF's pupper.
This is my black lab, Doober. My parents have been watching him for the last two years while I do my thing out here. He's 14, and just tore his two hind ACLs. If I had the money I'd pay for his surgeries, but I don't and the vet said he's got less than a year as it is, considering his weight problem. He is now confined to the yard and the bottom floor of their cabin, which isn't really a big deal because, as you can see, he's huge, and it's not like hanging out in the mountains of Telluride watching deer eat the assorted vegetables in the garden and sleeping 21 hours a day is a change of pace at all. I'm hoping he makes it until February when I come back to CO for some snow. God damnit, he is awesome.

I debated whether to post this here or the youtube thread, and this won. Probably you've all seen it, but it's fantastic (MUST have sound):
Bowser when he was just 6 weeks old. Sorry about the quality. His mother's owner took the pictures with her phone.
We keep a sheet on the sofas in a futile attempt to prevent them from getting covered with dog hair. Reggie's new game is getting underneath the sheets and eventually pulling them off. For some reason Youtube was being a pain. http://www.twitvid.com/PCRT9 and http://www.twitvid.com/AOACQ And a couple photos:
