At This Dish Is Veg, we love animals—of course. From needy basset hounds to playful kitties, we are happy to share our homes with a variety of furry companions.
Eric and I have a full house with three daughters, one dog, and three cats. The cats—2 feral and 1 stray—became part of the family one-by-one when they decided to make the forest behind our house their home. (I’ll take this opportunity to remind everyone the importance of spaying and neutering your pets.) Not willing to watch the kitties go through a cold NE Ohio winter, we opened our door and our hearts.
Bev and her family adopted a Rottweiler, Duke, from the Humane Society nearly two years ago. "We chose him because we read that large, black, older dogs don’t tend to get picked and he had been at the shelter for a long time before we brought him home," said Bev. "He’s an amazing dog, who has made our lives richer for being part of it. He’s also going to be transitioning to a vegan diet soon which I’m very excited about!"
JL and her husband have two cats. "The oldest Matisse, is Daddy's girl and only deals with me if he's not around," said JL. "Therefore, I offer you [a picture of] C.K. the youngest, a total Mommy's girl. She helps me blog."
Of course Ricki was happy to share photos of her "girls" who are often showcased on her blog, Diets, Desserts and Dogs.
So without further adieu, here are some photos of our furry family members:
