Ok, I don't have pets right now...but I had dogs up until last year.
1st is Kyoto, the Cocker-Spaniel Houdini who lived from at least 1995-2009. I say at least, because the previous owners picked him up off the street, so he was probably closer to 16 or 17 years old when he passed.

2nd is Kyoto's partner in crime for 7 years, Lady. She was initially well trained and would not get on beds (for cuddles or treats), or furniture...we "fixed" that. She lived past Kyoto by a few months, but still passed in 2010 (largely I believe of a broken heart from losing her friend).
Verrrrrryyyy ADHD dog, I have a piece of bacon in my hand when taking the picture, and she see's my brother moving around so her attention goes away...

Last time I saw Lady (with hand framing because I couldn't keep my hands steady as I knew she was really sick)

Finally, the most attention-wanting-and-whining dog ever: Lily-Kay (we just called her Lily). We picked up a skinny Lily from a dog rescue in 2010. We were advised to give her marshmallows to get her weight to normal levels, and build trust with male family members....we may have gone a bit overboard. After she passed, the family realized that we likely had Lily from when she was 7 to a year old when we first adopted her.

Lily thought she was a lapdog several times, this was the only one caught on film

Lily singing for the camera.
The last picture I have of Lily, taken shortly after mentioning the magic words: "Car" and "Ice-cream". She went to the dog hospital 2 weeks later for breathing issues and never came home.

::Tries not to cry:: Cries a little....CRIES A LOT! All that said, our dogs were amazing and I feel blessed to have had them in my life.
