My Pets

I love my animals, so I might as well make a blog post about them!

My handsome boi, Gilligan. My husband got him about 6 months before we got together. He was born under a porch and only has half a tail. He's a very affectionate cat, and rarely ever uses his claws against us. He is a great napping cat, but horrible at nighttime. We got this "Gilligan's bullshit hours." If he hears us in the morning and the door is closed, he will meow until we open the door. He only wants in for 2 seconds though and then immediately jiggles the door, signaling he wants out. He's actually the first cat I have ever owned (I grew up with dogs), and he is honestly the best first cat ever.       

My girl, Agnes <3 My husband and I got her about 2 months of being together (ok, probably not the smartest idea, but hey it worked out in the long run!). We found her on craigslist, and she was the last of the litter. We drove to the middle of nowhere in GA to pick her up, and when we got there, she ran right up to us. She is a little over 5 right now. She is the reason I am obsessed with dachshunds. She has such a great personality and attitude. We got her name from my mom, who was originally supposed to be named Agnes. An old lady name just seemed to fit her lol. Her middle name is Shakira.

My spawn of Satan, Ramsay. Named after Ramsay Bolton from GoT because he is sort of a dick. We got him when he was about a year old from a rescue. They don't really know his back story; he just showed up in someone's yard. The rescue named him "Bat Dog" because of his ears. He doesn't like tall men and hates work boots. He's sort of a 180 from Agnes, but I think them being together made him a softie. Once he gets used to you, he is the sweetest, cuddliest dog in the world. His coat was all black when we first got him, but he is now graying so fast and sort of looks like a different dog. I'm hoping to get a DNA test to see what type of dog he is, it's either terrier, dachshund, schnauzer, or gremlin.

My cat that only loves me because I feed her, Tammi. She was a stray that came up to our house about 2 years ago. She lived under our house for about a month until she finally let us come near her and feed her. I looked everywhere online to see if anyone was missing a cat, but I couldn't find anyone looking for a cat that matched her description. So she became ours! I say she only loves me because I feed her because she will meow non-stop until you give her some food. Her and my dogs did not get along at first, but now they love each other. Unlike Gilligan, she will use her claws lol
