Cute Animal Thread

We lost our Lab just under a year ago, and my son has been jonesing for a replacement so he went out and adopted this guy. Going with "Doc"or "Odin". His name at the shelter was Doctor Teeth. He was found hiding under a car with multiple lacerations and an injured eye that they had to remove. We've had him about 3 days, he's incredibly sweet and settling in nicely. The cat isn't quite enamored with him yet though.

Bravo. Every pet we've ever had has come from a rescue/shelter/pound. They're just the best. We had a one-eyed Brittany with back legs that didn't develop properly. Pouring one out for ol' Chester...

I vote Odin as well, but realize that you will most likely start calling him Odie for short.

I vote Odin as it would give you another reason to quote The Anchorman.

Not that someone who resides in San Diego needs another reason to quote that legend in local broadcasting.

I'm going to choose to believe that Chester was named after Patterson Hoods stepdad. 18 Wheels of Love and the freedom to yell "Goddamit Chester" at will is the first thing I thought of.

I know this is an old post but my god he is so cute!!!
 
I don't talk too much about my personal life on this thread outside of sharing all the cute animal pictures…. but today it became official. My divorce has been finalized. With having to say goodbye to my partner of 9 years I also had to let go of one of my dogs of 11 years, Pepper. Today I was reminded that grief and healing aren't linear. I will miss/grieve what we were when it was still good, and what could have been if we had worked. Knowing that I loved with integrity has been my comfort and grace. I’m thankful for the company and love from the other pets I was able to keep. I don't have any fancy words or witty sayings. Just that love shouldn't hurt, the love from pets is priceless, and I’m also thankful for therapy!

My favorite picture of Pepper and me from years ago when it was just us girls going on a hike in Mt. Charleston. I hope she gets all the belly rubs, bananas, and watermelons! Truly the best girl ever!!!
