My little Zoo.. =]

<span style="color:#0000BF">So I have a couple Critters that my husband and I love to death. =] So here it goes. =] </span><br><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Valkerie.jpg"; alt="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Valkerie.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><span style="color:#BF0000">Valkerie is our Guyana Red Tail Boa. She's still a juvenile, and is less than a year old, and only a foot long. She is a very sweet girl and she lets my 8 year old cousins pick her up and hold her. She's not very flighty and she is a great eater. She takes her food fast, and is an over all fantastic snake. Once full grown she'll be a maximum of 12 feel long. I'm quite excited. =] </span><br><br><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Pandora2.jpg"; alt="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Pandora2.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Pandora.jpg"; alt="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Pandora.jpg"; class="bb-image" />[/right]<br><span style="color:#8000BF">Pandora is our Brazilian Rainbow Boa. I added two pictures only so you can properly see her color pattern, and the other one is just to see her size engulfed around my hand. She is a very pretty girl with purple and red hues in her scales. She is approximately 4 1/2 feet long. She's only 2 years old, and only has another foot to grow. Maybe. She isn't a beginner snake person, as she's very needy.. Climate wise anyway. However, if gentle enough, a 5 year old could hold her. She's a very good girl, and she doesn't react to when I touch on her head to get dirt off or anything. She loves her water bowls and swims constantly. She is also a very good eater, and she never misses a meal. I hope to have her for a very long time. </span><br><br><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Kimber.jpg"; alt="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Kimber.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><span style="color:#00BFFF">Kimber... Oh goodness, what do I say about this puppy of fluff? She's a Siberian Husky/Great Pyrenees. She has bright blue eyes, and she's very inquisitive with them. She's a very good girl on and off the leash. She knows more than 20 commands and she's only 10 months old. She's very vocal about how she's feeling. She's 75 pounds of pure happy puppy, and will do anything to try and fit into your lap, and usually succeeds. She was potty trained ever since I got her at 12 weeks old. She hates going potty in the house. I don't know why... But she is not spayed, and that is because my aunt is planning on getting a Wolf Dog mix and wants to breed the two.(She's a professional dog breeder in RL.) Kimber also loves to pull sleds. She's quite the working dog when you put a harness on her, but once that comes off, she's as sweet as could be. She is also training to become a certified hospital service dog. So she can go cheer up the old and the sick. I believe she can do it, as she melts the hearts of everyone she encounters. </span><br><br><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/hades.jpg"; alt="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/hades.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><span style="color:#000000">So, Hades is our problem child... Haha! Im serious! He's been through three families in his short life so far, and went from Japan, to the US then to us.. That happened all within a month. So he came to us skinny, and very very fearful of a raised hand. He was also very anxious and had separation anxiety. Now, after having him for 5 months, he's come around.. He's a pure rottie or rottie/doberman mix... We're not sure. Still not the brightest dog in the world, but we love his big dumb butt. He knows basic commands and is actually the best walker on a leash. He's never pulled, and rarely ever leaves our side. So, he is 27 inches tall at the shoulder and 95lbs... And he's still only a year. He may fill out a little more, however, we just want him to get used to the paws he's got connected to the long legs of his. Also, he is a total cuddle bug. Whatever he can do to keep your hand on him, he will try. In the bed he will not leave your side, and will actually scoot closer to you should you move. He's a great dog that just needs a little direction. We are going to try and get him as a certified stability service dog. As, I fall a lot, and being as tall as I am, its a long hard fall. That and he's got such a calm temperament to him, and barks at little to nothing (he barks when playing). But, we are just trying to get him a little healthier and back on his trusting feet. </span><br><br><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Dottie.jpg"; alt="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/Dottie.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><span style="color:#FF8000">Dottie is our Oldest dog, but our smallest. She's almost 3 years old, and still doesnt know much more than when she was a puppy. She's as stubborn as a cat, and learns very slowly as she gets bored. She is a Siberian Husky/Border Collie. Dottie was the first dog my husband and I got together. We got her at 8 weeks old from a puppy rescue. She's kinda skittish to new people, but once you've been properly inspected by the chief inspector herself, you'll get all the licks she wants to give you, and then you better give her belly rubs until she's done. She's only 48 pounds, but is our calmest dog indoors. She likes to lay by your feet, and close enough to all the action, but far enough away that she's not in the way. She absolutely HATES getting brushed, but she'll jump in the shower with either of us should the bathroom door be open. Dottie is actually very smart, as she's learned to open our gate and turn on lights in the house... Never on command though, its when she wants out, or she thinks its too dark. She's our little fiesty dottie dog, and we hope we can keep her for many years to come. </span><br><br><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/bath-1.jpg"; alt="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/bath-1.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/IMG_1430.jpg"; alt="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z339/Cerelious/IMG_1430.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><span style="color:#8080FF">My Roxy Girl... She was my first dog that I got on my own after moving out of my parentals house. I got her when she was a little under 2 years old. She was rescued from a little apartment, where they would beat her everyday, and she was kept in a kennel too small for her. She never saw the outside world until she was rescued. She didn't get along with too many other dogs, and was fearful to the point of aggression with men. However, she knew that I was going to provide her a good home, food and water every day and countless treats. She was my running companion, and had protected me quite a few times from attackers who didn't want to just be my friend. Roxy also knew my moods, and when I had anxiety attacks she was in my lap with her shoulder up to my face for me to cry into. She had rescued me from more nightmares than I can count. My husband was the second man she ever let touch her when she first met them. The first was my father. She loved my husband with everything she had. She was our go to dog when we needed anything. She loved walks and car rides, and long road trips. She absolutely loved bubble baths and being brushed. As long as she was with you or being petted, she was just the best girl. Whenever we came home she was so excited her tail would go in circles around her body. She knew more than 50 commands, and knew more than 30 item names. She was my certified service dog for my anxiety, and I trained her according to my needs and she got certified by the state. <br>A month after we got Hades though, she got really sick, and doctors didn't know what was wrong with her. After dumping a little over 3k in doctors bills and visits, they finally told us that her kidneys were failing, and she was going to need surgery and a donor. That alone would cost over 10 thousand dollars that we didn't have. So the doctor gave her pain killers, and we took her home for her last night with us. We gave her a peanut butter breakfast, and then took her on her last walk to the doctors. That was the hardest thing I have personally ever had to do. I've had her for over 5 years, and she was my angel. She was the dog I never thought would fall into sickness. She was the dog that I would go trust to watch my first born child if my back was ever turned. However, She's waiting at the <a href="http://www.petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htm"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">Rainbow Bride</a> for me, and I'm glad she's no longer in pain. <br>You were my Little Roxy Girl. You will be forever missed.</span>
