Mutts and Musclecars / Cats and Cars!!!

[mockingbird812]

Thot this might be fun. I’ll get it started..... This is our newest addition to the family. Isabella (aka Izzy) joined us just before Christmas and is now 4 months old.

[SS427]

Not a muscle car by any means but after a therapy dog visit with a busload of kids at the firehouse Hollywood took a ride in our antique fire engine. He's not allowed in the shop anymore so no car photos.

[NorCam]

Great idea...and cute mutt there Phil.

Here's my 2 year old boy Düss in front of the Camaro

How about the real Boss 429 that was a dog house? I don't think he was too happy when they towed away his cool digs.

[Spooky]

Love this topic!

Here is Cooper. He's 8 years old, and level 8 agility doggo. He went for a ride in this car when he was 8 weeks old to DQ for ice cream. Rides in a loud car are not a problem!

Oh My!!! Izzy looks all original and numbers matching!! I’m betting she has Docs too!! Love :)

This is Bailey...4 years old & a month old. You can tell it's warm out as his nose has lost it's color. Comes back in the winter.

So you must spend quite a lot of time working/training with Cooper for him to achieve his agility level?

[SS427]

Hollywood is a certified Therapy Dog (retired). We also tried training him for the agility competition but he was just too laid back to give a crap.

Great photos & video so far.

Carrie, my wife does it out of fun, not for the ranks or trophies. Cooper likes to be active so weekend are trials for them and I do more car stuff. He has come a long way in a few years. She even trained him to go up stairs backwards. They are an amazing team.

Those puppy pics make us want another!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Don't have any yet with the muscle cars, our massive Shitzou 'Sadie' scrambles out of Novas right now - before we even start them! But, she's become accustomed to the Jr Dragsters! :grin:

Good for her. We have a australian shepherd/bassett hound mix that we are trying to train to not be reactive/aggressive and it is quite a lot of work.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Sorry guys, we don't have a mut, but we do have Oliver, 16.5 lbs of Maine Coon !

He likes to sleep on the muscle cars while they are in the garage [well covered of course]..so move over Fido, make room for the 'Camaro Cat'

Good boy Kuma!!!!! Doesn’t look like he misses too many meals!:smile:

[ohhawk]

These two guard our 9 month old grandson in CO (a Czech & a Longhair). Our son & family live above the 10,000 ft. level. We always have to spend a night in Denver the day prior in order to begin to get adjusted to the altitude...........sorry no musclecars (with dogs) to include with this one.

Thanks...here is the 'big guy' in his summer "Berger Nest"...and I don't agree about that catchy part...I think that "Cats and Cars" or the "Camaro Cat" have a good ring :cool2: Sounds better than "Felines and Fords" or "Pussies and Plymouths" :shocked:

[mockingbird812]

HA HA HA!! You're killing me Tom! Yes, yes you make a good case! Mods pls redo this thread title to:

I loved my dog but didn't take him in the grocery store. There is a time and place for them. Its kinda got out of hand. Larry

[m22mike]

Where are all the pussy cats :hmmm: here kitty kitty :grin:

[X66 714]

I had a pet skunk for about a year. She used to go everywhere with me. Cruised Speedway with me. Even walked her on a leash. You know you can have an entire sidewalk to yourself if you're walking a skunk?...Joe

[Billohio]

We had a kid at the local fair that was walking around holding her skunk. Made you stop and look. Do you have any pictures on the leash? Friend of mine descented a few and said they were bettter pets than cats. The last one he did was for a lady. He went over to visit her and the skunk came over and jumped up on his lap on the couch. Might freak out most people!

[X66 714]

No pictures Bill. I think that was close to 40 years ago. Skunk jumping on your lap might cause a person to spray more than the skunk :)

[69SSRSL89]

I'm a bit late to add to this fun thread about our favorite four legged parts of our families, but this is my muscle dog and muscle cars. LOL!! This is my best bud Enzo. He likes to go for cruises in the convertible and supervise/take a nap while I work on the 1969 SS/RS 396.

[firstgenaddict]

Sheeba drools when she hear solid lifters and a 4 speed... she must have picked that up from me... :rolleyes2: :drool:

[njsteve]

The black one is a Labraschund or Daschador. Looks like a black Lab squozed into a Daschund mold. Tiny little dwarf legs with a 110 decibel bark, and poops the size of a Great Dane. She came from the island of St Croix after one of the hurricane rescue operations.

The white one is a ChiRussell or Jackhuahua. Tiny Chihuahua head attached to a fat JackRussell Terrier body. Rescued from a kill shelter in Tennessee.

They spend 23 hours a day chewing on each other and playing tug of war while barking non stop.

Yay dogs!

[njsteve]

And here is a photo of her trying to stand still (impossible)

And another photo of the crew after locating a mouse in a cabinet drawer and then spending several hours debating on how to proceed when none of your team has an opposable thumb to open the drawer.

[njsteve]

They are still at it! She just pulls him around on the bed, flinging him left and right like he's on a sled.

He does like to intimidate people with his size and looks, but he only looks tough and mean. It would surprise you if you met him. He’s very friendly.

We are all stuck at home and doing some woodworking projects (the wife's new hobby). We made some new shelving to properly store our dogs and cats. We will need more shelves since we have a total of six critters.

[njsteve]

Had to do some measuring of the other cats to see what size shelving we're gonna need for the mega-cat.

[Xplantdad]

Steve...LOL!

[olredalert]

----Wide load ahead. We had a big boy too until two years ago. Miss the bugger every day! Named him "Fat Basterd" He didn't seem to mind a bit if we fed him on cue......Bill S

I love those mega-cats. His name is Turdly. It was Teddy until he had a bout of irritable bowel syndrome as a youngster. So the name stuck. 17 lbs of crabbiness. Here's an aerial view of Terdly.

And of course, the other missing kitty. Her name is Bella...Bella Fitzgerald.

[X66 714]

I have one of those Tortie & white cats also. This is Missy...Joe

[Xplantdad]

Our kitties (Okay, well...Holly's kitties)!!


This is Cheddar, who likes to hide (or thinks that he's hidden when he's completely visible!)


He's a rescue kitty.

This is Jay Jay-who is by Holly's side most all of the time and definitely her lap kitty.



She's also a rescue kitty.


162167



162168


This is Jo Jo (Johanna) who was our latest addition.



She came from a PetSmart cat Rescue group. She's a sweetheart and plays fetch like a dog!

162169




And this was Rusty (Originally Dusty...LOL). He was the most awesome male cat ever. I swear, he though he was a dog...and was the most mild mannered cat, such a gentle soul. He ended up getting kidney issues about the same time Holly did-and ended up getting fluids via IV in the scruff of his neck for a year(administered by me via an 18 gauge needle)-before his heath declined. He had to be put down by our vet-while Holly was intensive care in Socal quite a few years ago. I still miss him. He was "My buddy, Ruddy" as Holly used to say. :frown:


162170

[Xplantdad]

One more...Abby, on the left who lived to be 20 years old and passed away right before Holly's kidney transplant.





She was an Ocicat that we got as a baby-and was always by Holly's side even during dialysis. Rusty is on the right in this pic :)

[cook_dw]

We had a surprised new addition to the family last year. Her name is Stella. Some dirtbag piece of shit asshole dumped her in our neighborhood. I tried for 2 weeks to get her but being scared she just would not come. Finally with the help of some good ole American hotdogs and some cat food she finally came around and has been with us since. Staffordshire Pit Terrier. She is just a good dog that was treated poorly. The wife and I think she was used as a bait dog and to breed from the way she acts in certain situations. I swear this is what makes me hate people... She loves being in the garage and is by my side when I am working.

[32KZ]

Our two rescue hounds, on death's door eight months prior to the pic. We aren't those people who decorate their dogs, lol, but the rescue organization(Mutts in a Rutt, wonderful) were requesting for a xmas calander.

And the old barn cat, some have seen before. Not a staged pic, kid caught it home from college a few years back,,,more of a motor head then the dogs. Still kicking and healthy.

[HawkX66]

We just rescued a couple new pups.

[32KZ]

Thanks to everyone for posting! Had dogs,and cats, my whole life. About five years ago had to put my beloved sheppard Nick down.120lb, purebread, guard dog lineage.Easy to train,good with children,other animals(barn cat). Gave fifteen years of loyal service. Peace of mind when I was at the station overnight. Wife and kids safe.Home invasion would have been a grave mistake. After him, said I was done, cant be replaced.

Flash foward, future daughter in law brought over her rescue dog, beautiful animal. Then soon after talked my son into doing a animal rescue sponsored "pub crawl"

Enter Cooper, blue tick beagle mix,,little shit! After puppy sitting,hooked again. We found these two(only wanted one)but they had issues seperating them, anxiety,depression. They would shut down. What the hell, took them both.

Long winded, but feeling lazy today and procrastinating working on the car, heading out in a few..

Our shop and Therapy (other patients) dog Hollywood. Gone but not forgotten. Our new one Willow, is not allowed in the shop.

[HawkX66]

They're beautiful. Names/Breed?
Thanks! They're rescues, so educated guesses at best for their breeds. The first one we were told was mostly a Beagle, but I have my suspicions. Seems to be a Terrier mix. When we first saw her we thought she had blue eyes so we went with Frankie for "Ol' blue eyes." Of course it turned out she has beautiful green eyes, but Frankie still fit for her.
The black and brown pup is Woody. He came to us with that name and nothing else has seemed to work for him. His mother was mostly retriever and shepherd and by looking at his brothers and sisters, his dad appears to be a Bernese Mtn Dog.
Scumbags had dumped both of them with their mothers in the Carolinas at different places.

[69PostSSChevelle]

Meet Joseph. (a.k.a. Joe or Jose)

The only cat we've had that will play fetch. Throw a little yarn ball and he'll bring it to your feet.

[WILMASBOYL78]

We lost our Oliver to cancer in the fall...he was a 10 yr. old Maine Coon cat and was with us from the time he was a baby. He loved to 'guard' Karen's Camaro. Well the time was right to bring a new member into the family. So, please welcome Gibson to the SYC...he is a male Maine Coon about 3 yrs. old...he is a foster/rescue cat that we saw on the local TV news.

He has been with us since Monday and has already staked his claim to the house and our hearts. He craves affection and is very playful...besides being one good looking cat!!

We call him Gibby...Karen said that name reminded her of the Gibb girls :biggthumpup:

-wilma

[X66 714]

I love Maine Coons. They are the gentle giants of the cat world. Congrats...Joe

[ted]

Good evening !!
Great happy, loving thread.
Ted in Montreal

[fortim]

RIP Oliver, you were loved! Hello Gibby!!! We have various Rag doll and Siamese cats and hound dogs...Maine Coons are next on our list of cats to get. Keep the hounds in place...:grin:

[William]

This was our Maine Coon, Riley. Lost him April 2018. He's hanging with Mac the Siberian in the pic. Mac is now 10. Added a female Siberian Dec 2018; she had a litter of 4 kittens March 15. All adopted; was so enjoyable to watch them tear around the house for the last 5 weeks or so.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Gibson has staked out his territory and is protecting Karen's fleet...he is trained to attack strangers, so don't try sneaking into the garage.:cool2:

[William]

Trained? Ha! I will bring a few slices of ham and walk right in.

[SS427]

Update; Our just over 1 year old Willow decided she needed a brother now that she has reached about 3/4 of her adult size (currently she is about 130). Coincidently we were just notified that a litter of boys was finally available so she is getting a full blood brother. He has yet to be named but hopefully within the 5 weeks until we receive him we will have come up with a name. Here is Willow today and the new puppy. The puppy is estimated to grow to around 200 lbs. Our last male (Hollywood) reached 234 lbs.

[WILMASBOYL78]

You must have a big block powered tractor for the cleanup duty :rolleyes2:

[SS427]

They do not eat a lot but pooping is their specialty. We often joke that our dogs poop mound is bigger than their dogs (body) are. Good thing we have acreage out here.

[BillD]

Thought the following might be helpful to others and possibly prevent a possibly deadly accident for your dog. While we were out of the house the dog was able to gain access to the inside of a lower kitchen cabinet and then eat the contents of an entire bag of sugar free chewing gum. Sugar free gum and many other products contain an artificial sweetener called Xylitol. I have since learned that this artificial sweetener, even in small amounts is highly toxic to dogs. Fortunately, in our case, the dog received prompt emergency treatment and after spending several days in the animal hospital is now OK.

They must also be plotting a prison break as well. Since one of them previously cut the alarm sensor wire going to the window. I anticipate that they will be placing a cat postor over that outlet hole and air vent in the near future, as they continue with their excavation plans.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Gibson arrived on the scene last year around Memorial Day...he is a 3 yr. old Maine Coon rescue. We have had two others who have gone to cat heaven...Katskill and Oliver...we miss them both.

Gibson has adapted well to guarding Karen's Camaros...so please be careful if you stop by...he is ferocious :wink:

----We had a great Maine Coon that we rescued back about 15 years ago as a kitten. Miss that bugger! They are great cats. Unfortunetly, like all great and maybe not so great pets, his time ended before ours. Miss them all. At one time we had 7 cats and a 95 lb. female Bouvier in a 1500 square ft. home. Miss them all, especially the Bouvier. She was a sweet heart.
----Great looking Maine Coon, Tom! .....Bill S

[WILMASBOYL78]

Thanks Bill...he is a beautiful cat. We just finished our evening 'love fest'...he retired to the garage and is sleeping on Karen's 69 SS Camaro. He guards it whenever mom is away :tongue:
