He was also the one, like I said who would almost eat anything but give him a piece of McDonald's hamburger and he'd curl his nose and walk away. My BIL called him the Junkyard Cat, and that suit him. Everyone who ever met him/seen him instantly fell in love with him and his character. He was just one of those cats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I found my Norton, it was also tough as there were just so many cats and of course I wanted to take them all home but when we seen each other, I just knew. Like I said, I regretted that decision for at least 3 to 4 weeks due to his behaviour/craziness but thankfully he finally came around. He was not aggressive/mean in anyway but if he was, I could almost guarantee he would have went back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter went and picked him out from our local no-kill shelter. He'd had it rough. Been shot several times with a pellet gun and one in the head which gave him lifelong sinus issues in one eye. Missing the end of his tail and one ear was a but ripped. He took a while to come around but was a great little cat. Loved his home and took to me rather quickly. He became "my cat". I had him put down last winter after a year of losing weight and really deteriorating (not gonna lie....I wept). Pretty sure it was cancer. We had him six years. I think he was 4-5 when we got him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our cats was the neighbors that used to come visit. Now he ain't going back to that shit. LOL. My wife had to go ask them permission to get him fixed and "share him". 2 minutes ago, Pete said: This is the guy I visited yesterday. https://www.petfinder.com/cat/francis-44609419/ma/springfield/thomas-j-oconnor-animal-control-and-adoption-center-ma136/ Look how extremely "tolerant" he looks! Those cats are the coolest to me though. They just don't give a fuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our two remaining look like double stuffed oreo cookies. We're trying to find another Maly rescue after we lost our last one. But, these dogs are sure tough to get trained for "normal living". The size of them can be hindering. My last fucker was a polar bear cub and outweighed my wife and daughter by at least 30 pounds. Took me a while to get him leash broke after years of pulling a sled for fat tourists. Fucking strong as shit and when he went...well, you're going too!!!! The little husky on the right is about 45 pounds. He was fucking behemoth! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I hear of a lot of dogs dying from cancer. We didn't hear that years ago. I sometimes wonder if dog food is contaminated. Is any dog food produced in China? Chinese products are loaded with toxins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to judge a book by its cover but they just look a little more friendly, on the tamer side compared to the others. Good luck with your search, Pete.

We only feed our dogs "Stella & Chewy" super beef patties and some of their other products. Only thing our coyote will eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I had a black lab golden retriever mix. She was the sweetest dog. Had to put her down when she was 5 due to cancer. I was devastated and will never forget her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted May 7, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Buddy has been a great cat....hard to believe somebody dumped him in the middle of one of the coldest winters I remember...he showed up at our back slider when it was about -20 with a bad limp and broken teeth...we let him in and he has been awesome.

When I was younger and just got divorced my buddy showed up with a kitten. Never owned a cat or was even thinking about it - but I had to take him. He found a box of them in his dumpster at work while taking out the trash. Turned out to be an awesome pet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
