my pet is squeak actually I think I am his pet .. He is a Field mouse that has been living in my house for the last 3 years , I tried to catch him but hes too smart for traps and since he doesn't destroy anything I let him be , He actually catches and eats the bugs around the house ( found some piles of bug carcasses) , I found his nest when I was doing some demo work in the wall downstairs next to the dryer , ( wall full of dyer lint ) every now and then I will see him scurrying across the living room on his way to/from the kitchen ( hate it when he opens the fridge at 3 am ) he stays on the floor and cleans up the crumbs I drop, every once and a while I will leave him a piece of bread with some peanut butter on it . one night I was in my recliner in the living room and he stopped sat up and looked at me for about a minute then went on his merry way down the stairs ( he runs up and down the sideboards) hes a cute little feller , if I where to have another real pet it would be a dog as I had dogs ( rottweilers ) when I was married , but since i work weird hours and am sometimes gone for a day or two it isn't fair to the animal , we have a dog at the body shop Her name is dusty but since the owners kid latched on to it I really can't claim her as my own ( even though she acts like she owns me )

Here is my dog. He's about 3 or 4 years old, but about as smart as a puppy



And here is my cat. She is a couple years old. Boyfriend got her as a birthday present for me. Kept the cat, ditched the boyfriend.

This morning at around 8AM, a German Shepherd got in our yard and attacked our cat, Sabbath. He was standing over him when my wife ran outside and saw him. He ran off into the neighborhood, out the gate. Sabbath is critically injured and in an ICU at the Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists' Animal Hospital. It's near where I work, and I went over there at lunch today to see him. He is in very, very grave condition. As he has always done, when I put my hand into his oxygen tank and nudged his chin, he lifted his head and said meow to me but he laid his head back down. The next 24 hours will determine if he will suvive. He has a broken sternum and several broken ribs, a possible punctured lung, and he is torn up all over. I don't want him to suffer, but I don't want to lose him like this. You become attached to your pet and he becomes one of the family just like anybody else. It's doesn't seem right to ask for prayers for an animal, but say a prayer for Nick (I mean Chris). I got Sabbath for him 8 years ago on his birthday. It's his cat. This has been a rotten day.

As I was preparing to hit "submit", the phone rang (this time it was really ringing because I saw the light come on) and it was the vet. They have Sabbath sedated and medicated and he's hanging in there. His injuries are as extensive internally as they are on the surface. No guarantee that he will survive, that will be known by the end of the week, but if he does, there could be complications requiring surgery after his bones start healing. It's one day at a time at this point, those are the doctor's words. WC1
