“I recently got these sisters, Elsa and Sissy, a mix of multiple breeds according to genetic analysis: Great Pyrenees, Golden Retriever, Alaskan Malamute, Anatolian Shepherd, Siberian Husky,” Steve writes. “It’s safe to say they won’t be cold when living outside this winter. At a little less than nine months, they both weigh nearly 90 pounds and their massive paws indicate they aren’t done growing! Fortunately, they keep watch on our five acres in rural western Wisconsin as we’ve seen fox and bobcats who are interested in our chickens. They were a little big for ‘their’ deck chairs, so naturally I had to buy lounge chairs for both …”

“My cat Fiasco crossed the Rainbow Bridge four years ago,” Deb wrote. “He was a ‘dog/cat’ always running to the door to welcome me home! Happy fall.”
Friday, Sept. 26
“I had a surprise visitor to my courtyard one morning,” Ken writes. “I heard an unusual noise at my water feature and turned around to see this doe drinking water and checking to see what I was doing … how she even knew it was there shows how smart wildlife can be.”

“This is Maki, our soon-to-be 5-year-old American Miniature Shepherd,” Tim writes. “He was born in the Czech Republic and at one year was re-homed to a breeder in France. Maki turned out to be too big as a miniature, so he needed to be re-homed again. We acquired him a year ago and he now lives with us in Germany. Maki spends his days playing with his neighborhood besties, zooming through the fields and volunteering with the USO to comfort travelers at the nearby air base.”

“When I asked Wisdom to get off the counter, she went into full pout mode,” Theresa writes.

“It’s been awhile since I’ve shared any photos of my granddog, Cali,” Linda writes. “She had a great time hiking in the mountains last weekend. She didn’t get to stay there, but in one photo she is looking over Hotel Weisshorn in Saint-Luc Switzerland that does allow dogs. Maybe next trip, Cali! For reference, Saint-Luc is north of Zermatt, home of the Matterhorn. Keep up the great work! I love looking at pet photos!”

“Our grandkitty, Gordy of Eagan, is ready for another hopeful season. Skol, Gordy!”
Thursday, Sept. 18
“Love your column!” Shari wrote earlier this month. “Here is a current photo of Pico, who has previously been featured in your column. This was taken on one of those cool days over the weekend. He loves to be under a blanket when he is cold and does not want to come out!”
Wednesday, Sept. 17
“These are photos of our 14-year-old Chiweenie, Albert,” Chris writes. “Albert loves long walks around the Como neighborhood, which is full of wildlife for him to bark at. He also amuses the neighborhood (including our mail carrier) by sunning himself in the cat window hammock. Most often, you will find him buried underneath a blanket, snuggled up to his humans. He’s a very special dog!”
Tuesday, Sept. 16
“Good morning … Happy September! Where did summer go?” Joyce wrote earlier this month. “Our sweet Miss Nosey will be celebrating her fourth ‘Gotcha Day’ here with us on Sept. 16th (today!). How time flies when you have a goofy cat, seen here with her bright eyes and asleep in her favorite box … a Christmas gift from last year. Take care and enjoy each fall day!”
Monday, Sept. 15
“Our daughter’s cat Bozie excels at finding good, unique places to take his naps,” Norbert writes.
Friday, Sept. 12
“Bo, a 10-year-old French Bulldog rescue, holds court at my brother David’s assisted living home,” Leslie writes. “Bo has won the hearts of all he meets, very cuddly and sweet.”
Thursday, Sept. 11
“Maya (left) and her son, Gordy Jr., chilling this morning,” wrote Cameron of Roseville on Monday. “We rescued Maya and her four kittens from the remote desert in Baja, Mexico, two years ago. We found good homes for three of the kittens here in St. Paul. We kept Maya because she was feral and unadoptable and also kept her only boy kitten, Gordy Jr. Both are loving, wonderful cats that enrich our life’s on a daily basis.”
Wednesday, Sept. 10
“Birthday bone for Jameson,” Lon writes.
Tuesday, Sept. 9
“These three always need a nap after they get up in the morning, before they’ve done even a bit of housework,” writes Claire of Highwood Hills of St. Paul.
Monday, Sept. 8
“These are my grandkittens, SunnyD and Moonsun (named by grandsons ages two and four),” Maureen writes. “They are a joy. Little purr factories.”
Friday, Sept. 5
“Our pup, Leo, brought us a clover to express that he feels lucky to have been rescued in New Mexico,” Sal and Tom of Edina tell us. “Leo spent his formative years in Durango, Colorado, with our daughter and then relocated to Minnesota to live with us (his grandparents). He is loved and living his best life. It is amazing how many pups end up with the grandparents!”
Thursday, Sept. 4
“After losing our beloved dowager countess Tina this spring, we have started the adventure of fostering cats (for Feline Rescue),” Meg writes. “Khaleesi (Calico, left) and Nubia (shorthair tabby, middle) have joined our household temporarily while they await medical clearance for adoption. They are both sweet and affectionate, with personality to spare! They’ve been isolated from resident hermit Barney (longer-fur tabby, right) which is probably for the best for everyone, haha. I strongly recommend fostering for a way to enjoy and care for animals temporarily. The shelter has been incredibly supportive. Cheers!”
Wednesday, Sept. 3
“This is Zephyr (left) and Ziva,” Wendie writes. “Zephyr loves to bask in the sun after exhausting herself chasing feather toys. Ziva (right), gives her opinion on having photos taken. They were adopted from the Humane Society as a bonded pair in early June, due to the Northern Minnesota forest fires.”
Tuesday, Sept. 2
“Stella and Luna are 3-year-old littermate sisters who recently braved a move from New Jersey to Minnesota, ” Madeline writes. “They are adjusting well and loving their new favorite sun window!”
