OK, I wanna see everyone's babies pups or kitties as when you got them. Like if you got them as a baby or from a rescue the day of or around that time. I think it will be fun. I will start.

Awww! Puppies! Kittens! Does it get any better than that?!
OK here's one of Jerry on his first camping trip at about 6 months old, right after we adopted him. When dusk fell he was so afraid! Who would have thought he would grow up to become such an outdoorsy pup?

The first picture is of Maggie on the day I met her at 10 weeks old. In the second picture she is probably about 12 weeks old, trying to show my shoe who was boss.
No baby pics of the quad pugs. Tani was 10 months old when I got her and Obie was 4 years old when I adopted him.

Cuteness alert....
The last one is my all time favorite picture of Gus and Murphy. Murph was about three months old.
Kathi
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
