[madeline_con]

1. 2 cats outside f-ing...

but they're not ours.

[NoSheep]

22. is that a haiku?

:7

[madeline_con]

39. the syllables are about right.

:)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. One cat lounging on top of his big scratching post,

the other dozing by the computer, like this:

[Reciprocity]

3. Welcome to DU castiron.

Wren is grooming herself.

[BattyDem]

4. My dog is sleeping on his "blanky" about 3 feet away from me.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[castiron]

7. thank you! gettin into the swing....

my doggy has a blankie too. only it will do for laying on.

[koopie57]

5. one of the dogs is licking my toes

nt

[Patchuli]

6. 16 year old fat black cattie asleep at my

feet under the computer desk (she's safe from other two cats there, they like to play Kato with each other), 12 year old cat sleeping, 5 year old cat playing on floor to ceiling cat tree and banging it against the wall. Dog in bed in garage chewing up his toys.

Life is good. ;-)

[castiron]

9. awww doggy..... what sort?

[Patchuli]

15. Sweet cross-bred mutt

Golden Retriever and German Shepherd. Poor baby got attacked in our garage tonight by some irresponsible neighbor's HUGE German Shepard and a mutt. My poor dog is on a long lead and these dogs just came in and jumped him. I came flying out my door screaming like a banshee and the neighbor was yelling and chasing the dogs out of here. Then the dogs' owner comes down the street with leashes. I told her your dogs just attacked my dog. She says "Well they got out of my garage" like that makes it OK. No apology or anything. I said "Don't let it happen again." If my husband had been here, he would have brained the giant dog with a rake. I hate when people are careless with big scary dogs! Meanwhile, Lucky is exhausted from defending his castle. He's only about 50 pounds of pup...

Life is still good though!

[castiron]

16. well, big day for the pup, then -- glad all is well.

[DELUSIONAL]

8. dog on lap

and one cat is waiting for his daddy on the back of a chair. The youngest cat -- well he just turned off my computer. He learned this trick -- I thought the first time it was a mistake but he knows what he's doing.

He thinks I spend too much time on the computer -- and I should be doing something for him.

Really smart cats are both a joy and a pain in the butt.

[Gloria]

10. Slick (minpin) is curled up on the rocker to the left of me;

Tico (chihuahua) is curled up in a slumber bed on the floor in front of the bookcases which are in back of me.

Toro is asleep in my mother's room in his bed, under a baby's receiving blanket...

[Wapsie B]

11. tropical fish

are swimming peacefully in their tank.

[WCGreen]

12. Sylvia is sleeping on the top of the back of the couch...

Fenny is prowling around, looking for something to do....

Floyd is, well floyd was named appropriately, you figure it out...

And gretchy, the big slow tabby, has a guilty look about her, like she was doing something she wasn't;t supposed to do....

Sylvia, I think, is dreaming of the marshmallow she scammed out of the bag and licked and played with until I caught her....

Another night at the WCGreen abode.....

[castiron]

14. Ha, and it's funny how the scene changes constantly, except

there is a constant to every night here: the boxer dog sleeps.

[WCGreen]

17. Isn't it like that.....

They change about every two or three weeks, find a new "best" spot...

And then, they are gone....

They sleep in the bed, all four, in the winter.....

Welcome aboard, it's fun and addicting....

[Historic NY]

13. My cousins fiancee dog Aussie Border Collie is sprawled out

keeping watch over me. My Beta fighting fish is too busy looking at him/her self to care about me.

[iconoclastic cat]

18. All five cats are crashed out on the carpet.

The sisters are snuggled together. The rest are just lumps.

[ahem]

19. Several fish swimming, three cats sleeping, and one cat standing on her

hind legs and tapping my arm with her front paw. She wants my attention. She almost always does that while I'm on the computer. As soon as the petting stops, the tapping begins again.

[castiron]

20. my newish kitten jumps from the floor and rushes

to my neck to hug me and purr like a crazy cat and then completely attack my pony tail. I don't imagine this will be okay when he is full grown.

[Skittles]

36. my cat Clancy does that

if I keep ignoring him he actually "waves" a paw at me :D

[NoSheep]

21. maltese with new haircut-looks pretty scruffy, asleep as usual. Cat-zzzzzz

[enigmatic]

23. The kitty is passed out on Mrs. E's recliner

After a nice kitty nip buzz...

[City Lights]

24. My biggest baby is purring on my lap and alternating between

cleaning my arm and watching smilies or sig lines he finds interesting.

[kodi]

25. all dogs asleep

kodi is sleeping in "her" room, my library room.

abba is sleeping on the kitchen floor.

aja is sleeping in the hall way.

dr j is sleeping on the couch.

luckie is sleeping on the recliner.

little bit is sleeping on my bed.

now, i might be able to sneak a snack without them begging, but i wont count on it.

[Flaxbee]

26. The two "original" cats, those who moved with us last year,

are conked out on the bed, with the door shut so they don't have to deal with the interlopers, who have shown up since we moved to NC. The two grumpuses who don't mingle are Tom (orange male tabby, total love bug) and Clarisse (psycho mostly white-with-calico-tail female).

The interlopers are four: Ivan - an enormous, 20 lb (all muscle, no fat) tuxedo we adopted after the hurricane of the same name blew him into our yard last year; Novi - a stray momma kitty (now spayed) who showed up three months ago looking for food, and then two of three of her kittens. Novi's a lovely tortoise shell girl with golden eyes, and she's asleep next to me. Ivan's on the pink-polka-dotted living room chair. The two orange girl kitties (one orange tabby with white paws, she's named Ingrid, and one long-haired orange tabby named Tallulah) are climbing up the draperies in the living room, doing their best to shred them. And the third girl kitty Novi brought us (I called her Hedy) was adopted into a home where they worship and adore her. I miss her, but think she's fine. She was a GORGEOUS gray long-haired tabby. I hope she's asleep in the location of her choice in her new home.

And, anyone who wants to adopt two orange sisters (5 months old), please let me know! I want them to go together, if possible...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

27. My desert tortoise is sleeping

I build it a little shelter in the living room and lay down papers beneath it for its morning tortoise business. It likes to sleep with something right over its head. It spends much of the day sleeping, when it isn't eating massive amounts of greens, sunning itself, or patroling my backyard looking for something I haven't figured out yet (probably a girl tortoise).

[Dave Reynolds]

28. Dog is here by me,

playing "keep the cat flat on the floor", his favorite game.

[Gemini Cat]

29. Cats: locked out of my room.

CATS! Probably up to no good, because they are locked out of my room.
CATS. On occasion very very bad!}(

[mockmonkey]

30. The Zoo

One Hermit crab is digging the other is hiding.

One Turtle basking the other swimming around.

One cat sleeping on the floor by the TV, one laying on the couch with my SO. Another is being annoying in the litter box, doesn't bury just paws at the plastic side of the box (for about 5 minutes or until we scream "Enough Already!") The last cat must be up to something bad somewhere. Climbing up the curtains is her latest evil delight.

The Goldfish is quietly swimming and I'm glad the Parakeets are alseep.

[Draill]

31. Smooshinator (cat)

is sleeping next to me. I don't know what the other two cats are up to, I should probably go check. Too dark to see the fish, I imagine they're swimming around as usual.

[Draill]

32. Dupe, sorry

[TheCentepedeShoes]

33. Dog is on his rug

next to the bed. I can't sleep, but he didn't want to get up with me.

[Rhiannon12866]

34. Both my guys are waiting for me...

Sara is in the kitchen, waiting to be fed, as always. I'm worried about her, since she had trouble getting up the steps. I may take her to the vet for a check-up. Meneken is lying on the couch, watching me. He is on a diuretic, and had a leaking episode. This is new. I just took him out, but too late. So I'd at least better call the vet. Oops, he's barking, calling me! It's always something with my guys.:shrug::loveya:

BTW, Meneken attended the candlelight vigil in support of Cindy Sheehan with me last night. He always expects to be taken. And, as usual, he was so good that he made a great impression. He was quite a conversation piece, LOL, and we made several new friends. As I always say, liberals love animals.:D

Sara:


Meneken:

[Skittles]

35. My cat Clancy is sleeping in my suitcase

he has been sleeping in it since I returned from Chicago Sunday :o

[TorchTheWitch]

37. puppy doing his bathmat imitation

next to my feet... man, I really need a camera for the bathmat imitation alone.

Must have exhausted himself after trying to yank his tail off his butt for the past hour.

[khashka]

38. Just gave the little bastard his insulin shot

Always gets his blood up. Apparently the TV must die. Cat versus TV - who do you think is gonna win?

Khash.

[yellowdogintexas]

40. surprisingly, none of them are in here with me, Usually if I am

on the computer,they hear me typing and come to hang out near me or to annoy me. No cats to be found right now.

[Lindsey]

41. My little critter, Jewels Tyler, is running around the house like she's

the only cat in town - hey - in her world - she is. She is normally very high strung at this time of the night and then she settles down to cuddle with me when I turn in. She's a precious angel:-)

[deadparrot]

42. Kitty walking across the keyboard, trying to get my attention

so I'll let her out. Will go do that now, seeing as I am her slave.

[evlbstrd]

43. My dog is cowering at my feet, afraid of the thunder.

[Akoto]

44. My lab does that, too!

She's so afraid of the thunder. If you're outside and hear even a little rumble, she immediately retreats into the house and clings to the nearest person.

We adopted her from the pound, so we don't know what the root of this fear might be!

[evlbstrd]

46. She also hates fireworks.

50 pounds of adult dog becomes tiny puppy again.
Mine was adopted, too. And we know she was abused. But she's the sweetest dog I've ever had.

[MisterP]

45. dog sleeping under table, hamster running in wheel, budgies talking,

pigeons laying eggs, doves vegetating

[GoddessOfGuinness]

47. Wolfgang is dreaming...

Waffles is on my shoulder.

[ironflange]

48. The three cats are closed up in the basement

The two fish are slowly drifting about their bowls.
