If you want to keep two or three toddlers together (in a herd) I'd go for the border collie! But they're not low shedders.....

Wish Apollo luck tomorrow. He goes in to have fatty deposits removed from around a "sensitive" area. But other than that, the vet said he can't tell if it's a two year old or an 11-year-old border collie. We think he's 11.

Look into Vizslas. Super smart, gentle, friendly, and energetic; not at all aggressive. Caveat: they need regular exercise and/or some space to run in.

So- SCREW SCAMMERS.

My kitty cat died about six weeks ago-- he was pushing 23 years or so.

His playmate (a 9 year-old Russian Blue) has been mopey ever since, they were very, very bonded together.

So, we decided to look for another Russian Blue kitten for him to bond to and play with.

Was looking around the internets, and found someone who had a litter of kittens and had photo's on his website. We decided we liked two of them and started a conversation via email, phone and text. He even sent us a video of the kitten and used my name on it.

You see where this is going, right?

My radar were twitchy, so I did some deep digging, and he's a rip-off artist who's gotten at least several thousand dollars out of people. What type of arse does that over KITTENS? There's a special circle of hell for people like that.

I was going to fly out and pick them up next week, but obviously, that's not going to happen. He's been pimping me lately to send him a "deposit" over Google Pay, Cash App or Zelle-- of course, he doesn't take PayPal.

His physical address is bogus, his phone is probably a burner, and his email is probably a throw-away. I'm going to report him to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, but that'll do bupkis.

So, now I have to research for a kitten that actually exists, and this arse will just go on scamming other people.

I wish I could fry him-- Grr!

At least I figured it out without sending any money (although he's still waiting).

Wow, what a low-life. Should be staked down and have his nether regions liberally slathered with liverwurst and a pack of starved dachshunds turned loose on him.

About 10 years ago, a friend of mine said that every single ad on puppyfind.com was a Nigerian advanced-fee scammer...who left the USA to do missionary work in Africa and took the 8-week-old puppy with him.....

Adopt a kitten from a shelter......

I've had four cats since I bought my own house-- all four were strays/pound/rescue kitties.

All but one of them have had..... issues. We loved them anyway, but it usually wasn't quite what we signed up for.

The other cat we still have is a gorgeous rescue, but he's got the brains of a trout and mostly hates everyone-- including our other cat, myself and my wife. We call him our "problem child".

My wife's had her heart set on an another Russian Blue since a few days after we got the first one (he's an AMAZING cat!)-- so, we're leaning towards getting one from a cattery, hoping that lightning strikes twice.

All went well, but the cone of shame is on for 2 weeks.

Finn had a little too much fun in the mud, had to give him a bath.

We got one of these for Ginger when she got spayed. Worked well. Easier for her to navigate, eat and drink than the cone.

Nice, but my dog is very Bendy, and has a very long snout. The original cone of shame was.......shamefully short. I had to take him back for a much bigger one.
