Petburbia: Buck the Mellow Musher German Shepherd

4/11/2019

Minnesota Pet Portraits Dog
"I'll always guard the needs of young, old, all of the most special people." 

At 103 years old, the nursing home resident thought most of her adventures where behind her, then she met Buck. 

A solid 75 pound German Shepherd, Buck could easily be intimidating with his intense eyes and athletic build, but he's an amazingly empathetic fellow who knows how to calm and encourage people from all walks of life.  

Minnesota Pet Portraits Dogs
Buck started early, visiting his first school at just 12 weeks old. He enjoys working with special needs kids, budding readers, and the elderly.  

And when Buck noticed that 103 year-old had grabbed his leash, he took her and her wheelchair for a ride she never expected and would smile about for days.

Petburbia: Major the Blue Great Dane

"Big or small, I love them all."

At a svelte 140 pounds, Major, the Blue-coated Great Dane, may look imposing, but he's truly a gentle giant (most of the time).
Major works as a therapy dog reading with children at the library. His calm nature and extreme patience make him well suited for the job. It also helps when he's dealing with other Great Danes his family fosters.

The best example of Major's nurturing nature shines when he's dealing with the abandoned kittens who wondered out of a rhubarb bush and adopted Major as their Mommy. He happily accepts sandpaper tongue baths from these tiny creatures whenever they offer them.

Just be careful when it starts to snow. Major loves wrestling his humans into the snow banks and turning chopper mittens into chew toys.

Petburbia: Spencer the Yodeling Yardbird Schnoodle

"Call me an outlaw. Call me a protector. Just don't ever call me late for dinner!" 

Spencer the Schnoodle, a cross between a Schnauzer and a Poodle, may look all fluffy and innocent and cute. Behind those honey colored eyes lurks the intelligent mind of a willful criminal. 

Most days Spencer happily guards his living room window barking at passersby and squirrels, but there are times when he feels a tiny bit rebellious. Several little incidents led him to attending a sleep-away obedience school. 

His worst offense could be considered a federal crime. He once ate three books of stamps. (What else was he going to do with them. It's not like a dog can write!)

Petburbia: Pickles the Blotched Tabby Cat

"I do it my way, and that's the only way to do it."
Minnesota Pet Portraits Cat
Her family had planned to buy cucumbers when they visited the farm stand.
Lucky for them they found an adorable kitten and instead of making pickles they adopted the tiny tabby and named her Pickles.

This classic or blotched tabby uses her stripes to camouflage herself under the piano bench, where she likes to keep lookout over her family. Pickles once ran on her hind legs, hissing and batting at Grandma to let her know who was in charge.

Despite her humble beginning on the farm, Pickles does enjoy the finer things in life and will only drink fresh water provided on command.

Petburbia: Cat-Cat the Masked Marauding Norwegian Forest Cat

Minnesota Pet Portraits Cat
"Don't let my silky, soft fur fool you. I'm a fine tuned hunting machine!"
Minnesota Pet Portraits Cat
Cat-Cat chose her own name. She just wouldn't answer to anything else when her family brought her home from the rescue center.
And why not be proud of her feline fabulousness. She's the only cat in a busy house full of adults, two kids, Indy the Australian Shepherd, and a Russian Hamster.

Although we'll never really know her background, Cat-Cat shares some of the features and fluffiness of a Norwegian Forest Cat.

She uses her calico camouflage to her total advantage as a super hunter who once tried to bring a live bird into the house. She's also part ninja, and once stunned a rat by bopping it on the head.
