Me and my fur-kids

Hi my name is Sha. I'm 22 yrs old and I live in VA. My sister and I have been roommates for several years now and we have 4 dogs and 2 guinea pigs between us. Our fur-kids are very important to us and we spend most of our free time with them.

Introducing the fur-kids:

Dogs (in order of adoption): Rhiley is five yrs old, Bandit passed away May '08 he was almost 12 yrs old, Little Bear will be turning 6 in December, Madelyne is 4 yrs old, and Lily just turned 8 yrs old.


Guinea Pigs: Shiloh and Citrine. We got them in October '08- they are still babies (about 4 months old).



Rhiley is the first dog I have ever had- I got her when I was 18 yrs old (once I moved out). My Mom's allergic - but she loves the babies and comes to visit all the time.

Rhiley was adopted on Nov 16, 2004. She had just turned 1 year's old when I adopted her, her birthday is Nov. 9th.




This is Rhiley. She's a dachshund-spaniel mix.
I took this picture about 3 weeks ago - she's laying on my bed.


My sister actually saw her first, with my boyfriend at the time - I was at school, so when I got out of school she and my bf at the time were in my school parking lot and were like you have to see her - we know you will love her on sight! They were right. My baby girl is precious.




Bandit (our old man). We adopted him June 25th of 2005 (he was 9 yrs old) and he passed away May '08. He was my Mom's favorite. Bandit was actually kind-of a bargaining chip. After my bf and I broke-up I needed a roommate. I told my sister if she wanted to move out with me we could get another dog. She moved out and a few days later we found Bandit at a local PetSmart waiting for adoption. I saw him first and was like he's sooo cute! But I was worried about him being older - we had originally been looking for a dog around age 2 (like Rhiley at the time). But, Michelle (my sister) was smitten with Bandit and he went home with us that day. He was the perfect choice for her. He was quiet and sooo sweet - Michelle loves to read and he was fine with sleeping all day next to her.

Bandit on the sofa, he was a beagle-blue heeler mix.
