I have no room to talk.
My little Maltese is spoiled rotten.
But she doesn't have her own room.
She sticks to me like glue.

She has her own little sleeping house with heating pad, pillows, blanket.
Same on the couch.

the curve of the ears, I would guess Sammie. In 2004, I had a large female Samoyed and adopted 2 Eskie boys from an Ohio rescue group. Everyone thought my girl was the mother of Hank and Sugar.

responses under the picture and there was no real information as to the breed. When Dolly was younger people thought she was a Samoyed. They are both beautiful dogs. It is hard to tell in the picture. Right now, Dolly's face is round, but that because of the winter fur. It is very hard to tell them apart until they reach adulthood.

But when I retired early, I missed having a dog. Yes at one point we had 3 dogs and 5 cats. House was a zoo. We are down to our last cat--Tinker, who is blind in one eye from being shot with BB. We got her at PetSmart because we felt no one would want a cat with only sight in one eye. The vet said she still has BB pellets inside her. But because of her age and the fact that no organs were hit, would just leave them in. I don't understand how people can be so mean.
