OT. Post your pet pic

In late October, we lost our beloved six year old kittie Griffy to an undetected heart birth defect. He became ill and eight days later he was gone. Our surviving cat, 14 year old Dewey, missed his buddy and playmate, became very lonely and was living in a funk. After three weeks, we started looking for a companion and playmate for Dewey. We looked for a small kitten so Dewey wouldn't feel threatened. My wife applied for 20 kittens on line and was denied, mostly because we lived too far away. It's not kitten season in the northeast winter. She finally found and applied for these two bonded kittens from a rescue group in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and got accepted. They were transported from Alabama and we picked them up two hours away from us (I84 exit in Fishkill, NY) on January 16. Ironically, this rescue group prefers to adopt in the northeast. That way there's zero chance they could end up in a high kill shelter in Alabama. Two sweethearts who are as cute as their picture. They love Dewey and Dewey loves them. We did not name them Roll and Tide. We opted for Brinkley and Buckley.

I have a similar story. I lost my beloved Maltese Gizmo to a rare brain infection about 4 years ago. One day he was fine playing with his buddy Billie Bo. 10 days later he died from this condition. Billie Bo grieved terribly and lost a third of his body weight - not a good thing for a seven pound dog.
It was literally a series of miracles/godwinks that led me to Buddy after trying for months to get a companion for Billie. Within 15 minutes of meeting each other, they were best friends.

So glad it worked finding some companionship for Dewey and that the new kitties and Dewey love each other and have each other. They are gorgeous by the way!
 
OK, you guys made me post these.

Here are my grand-meows.

Rocco

Rocco is a rescued tuxedo cat - a bit grumpy in his old age (12?), but thoroughly loved by my daughter.

And Frosty

Frosty is a rescued Siamese Seal Point, and quite the goofball. He belongs to my other daughter. His blue eyes are stunning.
 
This has been the most annoying week of our dog's life, for both us and her. Because the snow is rock hard and icy, she gets weirded out going to the bathroom on it, so she keeps having accidents inside the house. Not sure if others have had a similar issue.

Yeah same issue, had to dig out "snow trench lines" to allow his majesty to go potty outside 🤣

Just way too cold and snow too high for my Maltese to go outside.
We are using dog potty pads. They are trained to know they should only go standing on the potty pad.

Unfortunately, I have had some issues where their front end is on the pad but their back end isn't.
Thus, little accidents.

My youngest Toby Bear will want me to praise him after he does it and shows it to me.
Half the time, his back end is off the pad. Sigh. He is trying!
