We asked, NEXTnc readers came through.
Following are some of northern Colorado's most pampered pets... they've got everything from silk pillows to trench coats, to Doggles and a seat on "mom's" ATV. Click here to check out our story on how to get a pet and then how to spoil it rotten!
 SQUEAK

Squeak is probably the most pampered cat in the world. He has his own door and comes and goes as he pleases. The whole world is his litter box! He’s as silly as cats come. He chose his own name — he squeaked like a rusty door hinge instead of meowing like a “normal” cat.
 MONTY AND RALPHIE

Where does a 160 pound dog sleep? ..... Monty, left, and Ralphie share our couch. Yes, we sleep with them.
 PIG

Pig is a Great Dane who wears his own hoodie in the winter. And he eats eggs for breakfast when he visits “Grandma.”
 SAMSON

Samson the daschund rides along (with his Doggles, of course) on an ATV outing with his “mom.”
 SAM AND WAYNE

Our spoiled beagles, Sam and Wayne (incidentally, both are girls). They are wicked cute so they’ll make the paper, right? Right.

 CATFISH

Meet Catfish, our 8-year-old cat who owns the green chair from which she has decided to help herself to someone’s water. How many times does she do that when we’re out of the room, then we refresh ourselves from the same glass??!! No matter, Catfish rules!
 LUNA AND DAKATI

Luna, the German shepherd, is 3 years old and Dakati, the boxer, is 6. Here, they are sleeping on our guest bed, lounging around, which is nice, because they can be a handful at times together.
 DIESAL

This is my 1-year-old cat Diesal. Her favorite pastime is sleeping all day on her very own silk pillow, formerly my silk pillow.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | Hola Amigos! I'm Sandra. I like to believe that people are 70 percent good and 30 percent dumb. I'm stickin to that story. Reading this blog might make you want to be good, but probably just dumb. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!

| | My name is Michelle Turley and I'm 28 years old. I live in Severance with my hubbie, Brandon. We have 2 dogs and a cat. We enjoy camping, four-wheeling, and just being in the mountains. I like to cook, clean (go figure), flea market, and play poker. I have so much to say about poker... | |
