Pets of Fedora!

Let’s get this Off-Topic Fun thing started with Pets of Fedora. Share your various cats and dogs and iguanas and ferrets and fish and whatever else! I’ll go first! Here is Tia, my family’s ridiculous little Pomeranian-Poodle mix:

Awwww. What a cutie. Fun fact! My daughter named her “Hestia”, after the greek goddess of the hearth, but after about ten minutes it became clear that that was much too long and weighty a name for such a silly little thing. So, “Tia” it is.

It’s a cat or a dog?

Definitely a dog! I’ve always been a cat person, but there are some endearing very Dog behaviors that I like in this one. If you’re working a a desk or table, she’ll come lie down and guard your seat. If you leave your place on the couch watching TV, she’ll move there and guard it until you come back. She is very fierce and protective: if my daughters start squabbling or even play-fighting, she gets upset and growls. The most adorable tiny little growls.

I’ll post some cat pictures too. One of 'em, Izzy, you may have seen on a Fedora Council video at some point. She likes to jump on my laptop and get on camera, and sometimes hang up on @bcotton.

Open for cuteness

These are my daily coworkers. Socks is a Chihuahua and Nala is a Chihuahua-terrier mix. Although, one is 10 and one is 13, so they mostly sleep away the day while I work. Some coworkers, huh? :laughing:

I have three cats in my house. Two of them (the ‘tux’ ones) are my sister’s and the blond is mine. Then again, the three of them have a special relationship with my mom, grandmother of cats :grin:

This is Figaro Henrique (yes, all of them have middle names and, yes, like Pinocchio’s cat), the older one. He was rescued from the streets by my sister on her bithday, during a quite heavy rain. He’s quite atached to my mom and makes himself quite clear when he communicates with us… and he’s quite vocal, indeed.

This cuteness is Filomena Josefina, she just showed up in my house until my then-girlfriend cought her. My sister took her in and did her best to take care of her. However, nowadays she’s quite attached to me and loves to lie on my lap (she is there right now).

Last, but not leat, this is Diego Guillermo, my cat. He was part of the pack on my street and, as I was playing with him and taking pictures to find a home for him, we developed some attachments. He waited for me at my house’s doorstep when I was getting back from work and even learned to enter my room through the window to sleep on my bed at night.
So, we ended up adopting each other.

This is Luna, our 5 years-old Siberian Husky:

Luna was six months old and had reverted to being feral when we took her on. I took time off of work to personally dedicate time to training her. Despite being a husky, she now has perfect recall and is “snap trained” which means she responds to different numbers of finger snaps to perform specific actions, e.g. 1 snap means “Go ten feet in the direction I’m facing”, 2 snaps means “Sit in place until directed otherwise”, and 3 snaps means “Come here and sit down until directed differently”.

Luna is trustworthy off-leash and always maintains a 6 foot perimeter around me when we go for walks. She’s also REALLY fast and always catches the ball before it can hit the ground, even when throwing a fastball!

This is Ponyo, our 13 years-old Bagle (Half Basset Hound, Half Beagle):

Ponyo helped me to train Luna on “how to be a dog”. Despite her age, she loves playing ball. She’s not trustworthy off-leash and takes all commands as suggestions, unless the word “Food” is incorporated, in which case she becomes the sweetest and most obedient animal on the planet. Her previous owner was her breeder who had unfortunately passed away, hence why we got her. Ponyo spends her days lazing about on her perch on the couch and seeking out cuddles from our two littlest daughters. The kids nicknamed her “Nana” because she is always picking up (food) after them when they make a mess.

These are Maryanne and Daisy, they are 12 and 7 years-old respectively. Both Chihuahuas:

And this is Turkey, our 5 years-old Chihuahua and the only boy dog of the bunch:

Maryanne, Daisy, and Turkey were my grandfather’s dogs until he passed away last year due to Pneumonia complicated by COVID, at which point my father passed them on to me on my grandfather’s behalf. All three of them are very energetic and are really good at riling up the other two. They have yet to figure out how to evade my youngest children though, so are forced to accept cuddles throughout the day as a result :stuck_out_tongue: .

All three are the quintessential “lap dog”. If you sit, they will jump to your lap, no amount of training I’ve put them through has broken that habit, but nobody in the family is upset, because it’s a remnant from when they would sit on my grandfather’s lap to watch TV, and that’s a nice memory.

Well, we adopted this mongrel greyhound, I think she and their 3 brothers were abandoned because a pure greyhound got pregnant by a street dog. She is very lovely, and tender, and love to have her belly scratched:



And now that is autumn here with the winter coming soon, we have a problem, because she hate cold, and is always stealing our blankets:

But overall, I think she’s happy with us and love us

Her bed is aside our bed:

And she love to put her head in it:
