We currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats.
Doggoes:
Bailey Boy - 15-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer/Border Collie mix.
Oscar Lee - 5-year-old Black Laborador mix.
Buddy J - 6-year-old Chihuahua
We lost 2 senior dogs in the past couple years (a 17-year-old dachshund named Zoey Elizabeth and a 13-year-old Pomeranian named Charlie Bear).

Here Kitty Kitties:
Oreo Cookie - 12-year-old black shorthaired ... recently diagnosed with cancer in her shoulder, but doing well
L'il Smokey - 11-year-old gray shorthaired ... biological sibling of Oreo, but from the next litter ... she looks like her father.
Piper - Grey tiger calico foster cat
Swayzee - calico foster cat
We are fostering a friend's 2 calico cats because she was living out of a semi most of the time.

We lost Oreo Cookie's littermate brother Gizmo Franchesco (Gizzy Franks) 6 years ago. He had neurological issues from a fight with a coyote. He was also black. When we first got them they were 6 weeks old, and Bailey Boy thought he was their kitty mama, lol. He took great care of them when they were tiny kittens.

We lost the orange tiger kitty, Sunny Alexander, in 2021. He and Oscar were best friends.

I have a boxer/pibble mix (or at least that's my best guess -- he was a rescued stray wandering around rural North Carolina) named Darwin. At 15 years old, he's blind and deaf and incontinent and needs help getting up and down the stairs (hence the harness in the photo), but he's taken good care of me through the years and was the world's best wingman when I first met my wife, so I do my best to keep him happy and comfortable like the good good boy he is.

I don't have a picture at the moment, but we also have a tortie cat named Phobos. She aspires to be an elegant, graceful, deadly apex predator, but she is in fact a complete goofball (albeit one who is extremely adept at catching mice and delivering them to us in the middle of the night).

Does Phobos deliver the mice to your bed, the floor by your bed, or the walkway you take way too early in the morning (when it's still dark), lol?
Over the years since we moved in next to a junkyard, we have all 3 delivery methods by different cats. But L'il Smokey likes to play with them ... and if they stop playing back with her, she leaves them where they stopped ... watches for 5 minutes to see if they change their minds ... then goes back to her spot on the table.

She usually drops them -- still alive-ish -- on top of us while we're still asleep, and then chases and plays with them while we frantically try to catch them.
