Linda we have a chicken named BB...my grandson wanted to call her black bird We also have a torte kitten, her name is Mazey.

Right now we just have our Rigel dog, but we may find a companion for him in the next year. He is full of energy and needs more play and exercise than we're giving him.

I am going to Google Rigel dog, have no clue, love to learn new things.

Sorry to not be clear, Linda. Our dog is a mutt named Rigel, for the brightest star in the constellation of Orion.

Oh! I Googled it and the first hit for Rigel was a dog by that name said to have saved people from the Titanic!

We have 4 kitties that graciously allow us to live with them............all rescues. Grizabella, Button, Bonnie, and Kitty.

I have a four year old black and white female Papillon named Lily. My best buddy and always with me. Very sweet and smart and energetic.

I also feed an outdoor feral cat. He is young, maybe a year old and a solid shade of slate grey. He has no one else, showed up here as a starving stray poor guy. But now he is well fed.

This morning after eating his first meal of the day Shadow the cat was sitting outside on the driveway near the scattered bird seeds. And a squirrel was there eating not a foot and a half away from him. As brazen as can be. I guess he realized the cat couldn't get him as the cat is not big or strong enough.

Many, many years ago I used to have a lovely black and white kitty that caught squirrels and then proceeded to eat them. So funny to watch her drag her dead squirrels home, they were pretty big.

For those that don't know I am a Great Dane mom. This is the first time in over twenty years we only have one. After Harper died in the spring we tried a Newfie rescue but Winston wanted no parts of her. Was too hard trying to keep them separated and safe, along with grandkids so we weren't able to keep her. Luckily a family member was able to give her a wonderful home. It was strange for a while only having one dog but used to it now and it is actually easier.
We also have 5 cats...Nera, Peck, Fae, Jinx and Mazey. All rescues that range in age from 5 to 3 months. Seems I got one every year
We also have 5 zebra finches, a bearded dragon, and 9 chickens.

Ronnie, a nice batch of furry and feathered friends!

Usually just a lurker here, but thought I'd introduce myself and my animals.
All Afghan hounds,Tyler, Sissy, and Smash, all 8 years old
Tyler's kids, Bonnie and Klaus, 3 years old
Sissy's kids Charlotte and Teagan who are 8 months.
Plus Dexter my son's cat, who thinks he's one of the dogs, and Emily, my cat, who's terrified of all of them!

Happy New Year to all, and in a few weeks it will be Chinese New Year, ushering in the Year of the Dog.

@Windigo That's quite a houseful you have! Afghans are simply beautiful!

We'd love to see some photos of your dogs, Deb! Afghans are so beautiful!

Thanks for the welcome. I'll try to post a few photos when I get home from work.

Great! Thanks, Deb.
