Belinda, Esq. - love the title. But she does look a little grumpy there.
17 year old dog, that seems really old for a dog. Mitzi looks like she's in great shape though. I knew some people with a totally blind dog, and she did just fine, although they never moved the furniture.

She can act all stand-offish. She also has a habit that when me or my roommate get up in the morning, she will go meow outside the other one's door. When the second person gets up, she then goes off to sleep.
But at times she can meow so pitifully pathetic, like she has been trapped in a drainpipe for 20 hours instead of just wanting a treat.

I think she had just woken up. (And please don't tell the bar associaion sbout Belinda using the "Esq" title. )

Well, those are older pitures, but she is in good shape for her age. The vet called her a "miracle dog". She does seem to run into things a lot, but I think that's how she tells where she is.

Here is Pickles, our puppy daschsund (he's a mini):
This was a few months ago and he's a little bigger. He's about maxed out at 13.5 pounds, and he's about 10 months old. I never had a dog before this year and I've got to say, its changed my life--for the better!

Haha, I love it! My wife got him a bunch of clothes and of course he hates them.
He's as mischievous as it gets. Usually always up to causing trouble (but lovable, at least to me )

He also looks like the most mischievious and/or fun-loving

This bit reminded me of my father's dog Tuca. My father had a minivan and once a month we would go see my aunt and dad would have me drive. Tuca would usually stand between the two front seats. Periodically, she would rest her head on the crook of my elbow. I could feel the weight of her head, but it felt so good.

It makes me feel good about the world to see pet owners and their on-line friends have a soft spot in their hearts for our four-legged friends.
Unfortunately, I don't have any digital photos of my own furry little substitute boy (okay, a cat-boy, really), Dusty, to share. He passed away four years ago, but there's not a single day that goes by when I don't think about him.
He was so loving and yet so (faux) fierce, with the cutest little pink nose, big green eyes, and beautiful black-and-white tuxedo pelt.
I used to affectionately tease him with crazy little nicknames because he reminded me of so many different things: Beast from the East, Pest from the West, Mouth from the South, Little Horse of Course of Course, Bad Boy, Puddy Cat, Catmandu-What-About-You, and even Little Batman (because it looked like he was wearing a cowl and he had largish b/cat ears).
-------------------- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so the meek[s] shall inherit inherit the Earth, but what about the geeks? I still want Baffin Island--polar bears and all! :)

Oh yeah, missing the pets, smiles and tears.
Fred: she's a dog. People would ask me why I named a girl "Fred." I'd answer, "she's a dog."
Her trick was fetch. I'd throw, she'd get it, drop it five feet away and make me come get it. She'd do this three, maybe five times. Then the game would change.
When I came to get the stick, she'd pick it up. I'd close, she'd back up. Fred had a snotty streak. Her coup-de-grace, after making me chase her over three acres she'd stop and drop the stick. As I approached, she'd pee. I'd make my move. She'd grab the stick and take off.
That dog never run out of pee.
