Dogs! Then and Now.
2 small, short-coated puppies with fur that's mostly a golden brown colour. As the dogs are part Yorkshire terrier (plus Chihuahua and ShihTzu) they have patchy black fur (mostly along their backs). Same dogs as adults, sitting on a bed with a blue cover. Left is Sam, a plump golden dog in a red sweater, and left is Ricardo, a skinny, paler gold dog in a turquoise sweater. They are looking to their right/camera left, and grumping because of the sweaters. Me cuddling Ricardo on the bed, while I rest my neck/face on my hot water bottle. I'm a late 30s brunette with brown eyes, Ricardo is a terrier mix with golden fur and goofy features. Me, cuddling Sam on the bed. I'm under a pink and purple Indian patchwork blanket and my hair's red; Sam is looking at the camera with his back towards me as I scratch his neck/shoulder/chest area. You can see Sam's lovely brown eyes, golden coat, and white face/chest markings.

He's a croissSAM'wich (that makes sense if you know about BK"s breakfast menu and you recognise Sam even when he croissants himself...)
Small terrier mix dog curled into a fluffy golden croissant shape. He basks in my love atop a bed with sheets, pillows, blankets, etc in various colours (mostly pinks and purples) and he will rise like a loaf once his heart is nice and toasty.

And the pets in our menagerie:
Excellent close-up of grey/black tabby cat with pale green eyes. I can't tell if that's Bonnie or Yoshi, but I think it's Bonnie. Action shot of our 2 fluffy terrier/ShihTzu/Chi mixes (Sam left, Ricardo right): small golden dogs, running up a grassy hill, under a blue sky, and in front of a teenage boy who's ecstatic that he's going to be an hour or more late to school. Mid-30s white woman with longish red hair attempts to focus her eyes on the ball python (Beauregard) waggling himself around near her face; she wears a lilac vest top, natural-looking makeup, and a Pride necklace (pan/bi if you're curious). Early 30s brown-eyed brunette man with glasses enjoys his bath (nudity and bath both out of frame) as the striped grey/black felines, Bonnie and Yoshi, explore the sink behind his head.

Pictures of Amanda's Assemblage, Manda's Multitude, Pandolio's Pirates, in other words our family, beginning with the humans:
Late 30s woman and early 30s man with teenage kids. Left to right: young teen lad with hazel eyes and wavy brown hair, next to mid-teens lass with pale blue eyes, light brown hair, and red ear defenders; behind them, brunette man with curly hair and glasses; finally, brown-eyed brunette woman also with curly hair. All photo subjects are white, looking towards or into the camera, and more or less smiling. Outside on a sunny day, a late-teens girl wears a bright blue t-shirt, navy blue cardigan, a pink/black striped bobble hat, and red ear defenders as she sits on her mum's lap and looks softly into the camera; her mum's hair is dyed an extraordinary shade of orange-red, and she's sporting oversized cats eye sunglasses with tortoiseshell frames, as she rests one cheek against her daughter's back and smiles into the camera. Early 30s brunette man with brown eyes, glasses, and curly hair stands in an arcade wearing a blue hoodie and red t-shirt. To his right is a preteen boy with longish dirty-blonde hair, wearing a yellow/white long-sleeved raglan tee and playing the 2p drop game; to the man's left is a young teen girl with ash-brown shoulder-length hair, a wildflower-patterned sundress, and a very intense expression as she watches the 2p game. Aged 40ish brown-eyed woman with medium-long, wavy auburn hair tries not to smile as she narrows her eyes playfully at her mid-teens son, who stands to her left. Judging by his delighted, slightly open-mouthed expression, he is laughing and probably just said something cheeky. He has wavy, medium-short brown hair, hazel eyes mostly closed by the laughter, and the very respectable beginnings of a decent moustache.
