Santee Patch Furry Friends Gallery

Today is and it's put me in the mood to get together a gallery of Santee's furry friends.

I was going to start with a gallery of dogs in honor of their day, but I got a new kitten about a month ago, around the same time I got a new camera, so I have about a million pictures of her, and need to show them off. That, and not everyone's a dog person, so we'd love to see your birds, cats, rats, even reptiles!

I once helped breed and hatch a brood of bearded dragons, so I know even the cold blooded critters can be a member of the family!

So, if you're a Santee Patch reader, share some photos of your furry family members and let us know a bit about them in the caption. Just click the "add your photos & video" link under the photos.

And, if you don't have a pet, a great place to get one is with San Diego Animal Rescue. You can see SD Animal Rescue's dogs ready for adoption on weekends between 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Santee PetSmart.
