I had a cat named Rico, He was one special cat. As a kitten I would let him play on my desk in husbands office. Well, Rico decided he was the execitive type. Problem was he didn't know what time it was. At night and I am talking like 2 - 3am in the morning, Rico would go in the living room and get on the phone. I mean literarly. We have a speaker phone and have numbers programed it. So Rico would go in there and take his paw and step on the phone until it dialed someone. He called lots of people over the years. He dialed my mother's several times so I moved her number to another button. Guess what!! He found her number the very next night. Always in the middle of the nite.... Some people would call my husband the next day and ask how he was feeling? They thought he was drunk and after calling them he passed out..... LOL this was funny, cause some people just didn't believe us. As for mom, she got use to it and knew that if our number showed up on her id box after midnight, it was Rico.
Well I lost Rico last year, but I still have great memories.

Linda Bober and I were talking bout this and I thought I would share a funny cat-tale with you.

Mitzi, I'm sorry to hear you lost Rico. I have two little ones at home. I just don't know what I would do without them. My little boy "Lenny" (named after my favorite Lenny Kravitz) will only drink water out of the bathroom faucet. He puts one paw in the sink and the other by the faucet. And, if I don't turn the water on for him as soon as I get home from work, he will howl until I do. My little girl, Anya, is infatuated with closets. If she sees you close a closet door, she will run over, stand up on her hind legs and meow until you open the closet door and let her in.

Thank you Elsa, Rico was one special cat. I was very lucky to have him 9 years. He still died to soon, but he gave me and my husband a great deal of pleasure and we still have great memories.

He was king in this house.

Pets are such a wonderful addition to a family.

We lost our Golden retriever last year to cancer. He was such a cool dog. Gentle as can be. He didn't have mean bone in his body. Just a wonderful sweet soul. But since he was almost 100 lbs he was rather imposing to strangers.

We also have a 10 lb mini dachsund. Her problem is that she doesn't know she is a little dog! Whenever the doorbell rings she heads to the front door and usually slides into it. Then she will bark like she is going to rip your limbs off.

Whenever we would take them both somewhere she would start barking at another dog and they would back down. What she didn't realize is that it wasn't her they were backing away from. Her buddy Jake would be standing right behind her with a 'don't mess with her look'. Since we lost Jake she has learned to run when approached by a big dog!

Alright everyone, we got another puppie! We had to give ourselves time to grieve for Jake first. But in June we got a Golden Retriever puppy. He was just 2 months old and a big ball of fur. His coat was a blonde gold. Well, now he is 35 lbs and his coat is turning the same reddish gold that Jake had. Our little dog has found a new best friend. She is definately the alpha even though she only weighs 10-11 lbs.

Bailey is still in his awkward stage. He trips over his own feet etc... He has such a great disposition and Drew and I are looking forward to many happy years with him as our 'baby'.

Congrats on your new puppy.Goldens are great! We have a male, Jack, who is almost 7 and soon to be a first time daddy. It will be fun to have one of his pups. They do such goofy stuff. The only drawback is the tons of hair everywhere. They shed like crazy. I have gotten used to not wearing anything but Khaki and always carrying a lint roller.
