Sibling rivalry: Our Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger, warm and toasty inside my studio, while his brother, Barley, who lives across the street with Call Me Wesley's sister, does his best to beam his famous "look that kills" in toward the very oblivious Ginger. :eyes:

[livetohike]

1. That's a great shot!

Here's Cindy playing hide and seek with my husband on the King's River in CA:


Murphy on one of our favorite hiking trails:

[Heidi]

3. Cindy and Murphy are _gorgeous_!

Thank you, livetohike! (And I love your username, gf. :thumbsup: )

[livetohike]

5. They were both "pound puppies" - hard to see anyone giving

them up, but I'm glad they were there for us to adopt :-).

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

2. Barley looks pissed

My fat boy obie lounging on some boxes
:hi: Heidi :hug:

[Heidi]

4. Obie has a beautiful kitty belly, doesn't he?

How's he liking Missouri by now?

Nice to see you, my friend! :hug:

P.S. Yes, Barley is perpetually pissed. He was born in our house and since he only lives across the street, his kitty-sonar brings him to our door every morning. Here's a shot of Barley at my patio door when he was younger and a bit less angry.

[Guava Jelly]

7. Looks like he's smiling

All three of the cats are adapting pretty good to missouri life.

[crim son]

46. Angel looks a lot like my favorite cat of all time,

Etheldread (we called her Edie). Sadly she was killed by a car when she was only two years old. And before you yell at me, she was living with my parents at the time... I had moved across the country to Boston and given her to them.

[jus_the_facts]

68. Aww...RIP Edie....

....my Angel is goin' on 17yrs...we've had her for the last 7 years...rescued her from the adjacent apt. building's roof one winter...and the other two Brutus and Natasha were also strays...found them starvin' and would have frozen to death if I'd not brought them in from the bushes outside...all my babies were thrown away...they're my only children and they own my heart. :hug: :)

I have one and she has a tad of a weight problem - Large Marge. My big baby.

[Kerrytravelers]

9. My little furkids!

Pitter-pat in one of his many windows. They are "his" windows, he makes that very clear.


That's his little neighbor buddy on the other balcony. They will sit and stare at each other for hours.


And sleeping upside down.


And playing peek-a-boo.


Apparently, I'm boring.


A deep moment of quiet reflection and complementation.




AAAGGG! I forgot my favorite cuddle pictures!





Sniffles keeping guard of the kitchen.


And Sniffles being cradled like the king he is.


Sniffles has this thing about flowers.


... and shoe boxes


... but Santa hats? Not so much.


But, he doesn't mind taking a picture by his birthday cake (and we don't mind eating the cake!)



AAAGGG! I forgot my favorite cuddle pictures!

[LeftyMom]

Jesus, haven't you subverted marriage enough already?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. It's all part of my homosexual agenda.

[LeftyMom]

21. I can't help it! I was born this way!

Also--I WANNA SEE DA BUNNEEZ!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

61. She's an albino leopard gecko.

I have three leopard geckos. They're all shown on my hand in one of the pics. The females are albino and normal, and the male is a high-yellow/lavender. The lizards in the bottom pictures are bearded dragons. They're brother and sister.

And here are the bunnies, chilling in their outside "playpen:"

Elfie, the fat-ass bunny...

They're all adorable William Bloode!

:D :hi: :hippie:

[William Bloode]

26. Why thank you very much..

:hi:

[Gato Moteado]

30. i gotta ask,,,,how did he get the name puddles?

nt

[William Bloode]

32. From the numerous puddles i had to clean up when he was a pup.

His name has actually been bastardized into poodles now. The reason for that is that, despite being 90lbs of fearless bulldog i still talk to him like a baby. His full name is Tiger Pee Pee Puddles.

[Gato Moteado]

33. i was afraid that was the reason

;)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

19. Daisy, the smallest doberman in captivity.

OK, so she THINKS she's a doberman. I ain't telling her different...

[Jamastiene]

20. Here are my babies.

Sunday Girl as an infant


Sunday Girl as a 14 year old cantankerous old woman. She likes to scratch us every now and again so she can pick our skin out from under her nails and nibble on it. :P


Here is Domino looking out the window.






And here is the boy, Yogi, who gets into everything.

[xchrom]

22. yogi always has that ''you call me?'' look on his face.

they are all very, very cute.

[Jamastiene]

25. Thank you.

He is what my aunt calls "a momma's boy" because he follows me around and tries to do whatever I am doing. All my cats do that, but Yogi sticks to me like glue. When I go to bed at night, he sits at each window for 15 minutes each "on the lookout." Then he sits in the doorway to my room like one of those gargoyle statues you see at entrances to buildings as if he is guarding me. Of course, if a loud noise comes along, he runs and hides behind my legs. :rofl:

[Gato Moteado]

31. here's my cuddly, affectionate...

....fer-de-lance:

http://i16.photobucket.com.nyud.net:8090/albums/b13/vegematic/terciopelo_1625.jpg

here's my pup:

[crim son]

48. I'm not a dog person, but that is one cute puppy!

I want to hug him :loveya:

[Gato Moteado]

51. well, she would love for you to hug her.....

....that photo was taken about 6 years ago when she was probably about a year old. she's probably almost 7 now, though i don't know for sure as i got her at the pound in austin.

she's incredibly smart. our beloved andy stephenson used to come over to my house and roll around on the floor playing with her for hours. she, like the rest of us, misses him.

[crim son]

57. I knew she looked like a wonderful beastie.

I never knew Andy; came on board (under a different username) just before he went into the hospital for his surgery. He had a kind face, and so many followers here that I know he must have been a very good guy.

[Mutley]

34. Rogue

Here she is then




And now

[zanne]

41. What a beauty.

Is he a full Shepard?

[Mutley]

43. She's a Keeshond mix.

And thanks. She appreciates the compliment. ;) :hi:

42. Keela! Noah & my australian shepard!

She was found near a freeway with her mom and sibling. Keela jumped into the car, scared crazy, but her family ran away. We reported her to the Humane Society as being found, but nobody ever claimed her. So, we asked them how long they could hold her for at the shelter and they said "only a few days and then we'll have to let her go"...basically have to put her to sleep. Well, Noah and Keela really bonded and he decided to keep her! So, she's spoiled and happy as can be! I'll post two pictures: one of her when she was a puppy (when we found her) and what she looks like today!

[crim son]

49. Another truly beautiful dog.

I may have to rethink my "no dogs" stance. There are some gorgeous animals on this thread.

[Carla in Ca]

62. How about A Beagle?

This is a photo of Jean. This pic, and the story of how we almost lost her earlier this year, is in my journal.

And the second is one of Benny. I need a new one of him because he's starting to grow very quickly. edit: typo

That's too cute! The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger would _kill_ me if the thought of dressing him as a ladybug ever even crossed my mind. :rofl:

[Rhiannon12866]

55. I have two small dogs and they are in my sig,

Hopefully now within DU guidelines... ;)

My little guys are Meneken and Jack, eight pound wonders, Brussels Griffons, remarkably, from rescue, 13 years and seven months old, respectively, both very dear to me. :loveya:

And I love cats, too, especially my beloved Rhiannon, who I lost in 2001, after fighting the good fight, and far too soon. ;(

[SPKrazy]

69. Here's a Young Picture Of My Sheltie

This is Keltie the sheltie

[Rhiannon12866]

72. What an adorable puppy!!!

I love shelties and yours has such a sweet face... What a cutie!:loveya:

I actually think they make puppies this cute for a reason, LOL, since they can be such a trial, at least my Jack is, going through a biting phase, and I've asked both my vets what to give him for teething, but he still prefers to gnaw on me... *sigh*x(

Here are my guys:

Meneken:loveya:


Jack:loveya:

[SPKrazy]

76. Meneken And Jack Are Cute Guys!

Are they both on a boat?

It looks like a life vest on Jack?

I had a Dalmatian once that went on a boat with us and when we threw the ski rope in the water he just jumped up and dove in. I had to jump in and literally save him because while he could swim, he had practically no body fat and was sinking and scared to death.

I still laugh though when I think about that because he just was so reflexive in jumping in.

[Rhiannon12866]

80. Yup, they're both on a boat, taken this summer.

They spent a lot of time on my friend's boat this summer, especially Meneken (I didn't adopt Jack until the end of August), and he just loved it, was better on the boat than on land, LOL. He previously belonged to a very wealthy woman, who died, sister-in-law of Barbara Bel Geddes (Miss Ellie, on "Dallas") so my friend speculated that he may have been used to yachting...;)

My neighbor's Newfoundland swims, and my first cocker once swam in Lake Champlain. But I put life vests on my little guys, especially lively Jack, since I have no hope that they're "water dogs." Fortunately neither of them ever fell in. The ducks there are bigger than they are...:D

Your poor Dalmatian! They aren't water dogs, either... A fire engine, maybe...:evilgrin:

And that's also Meneken's winning photo that earned him Nestle Pet of the Month for November. :woohoo:

[SPKrazy]

81. His Only Trick Is Charm!

No, Dalmatians aren't water dogs. They were bred some with sporting dogs, so he probably had some flashback to his retriever genes or something and felt he had to go. He did love to chase tennis balls, etc., and the end of the rope looked like something to chase I'm sure, he just took off and jumped in the water though without even hesitating. It kind of freaked all of us on the boat out when he did it.

He was pretty young then, only about a year and half old or so. He died in 2005, well actually he had horrible back problems, and then must have had a stroke because he no longer could stand and when you tried to stand him (all in one day this happened) he would end up falling down after trying to stay up for about 10 feet going to his left. So he was euthanized that day while I talked to him and petted him, but I can't imagine that he would have had any quality of life, and he couldn't stand up to even go to the bathroom or eat, and I wasn't going to hold him up while he peed.

I had a cat once that was hit by a car and the vet had me giving him bladder medicine and manually squeezing his bladder 3 times a day over the litter box. That lasted 2 weeks. He got so he would start gagging when I walked in the room (medicines) and he wasn't getting any better so I had the vet euthenize him.

I hated both of those decisions, but having animals means that you eventually get to deal with those kinds of things unless nature takes them first.

How did I get to talking about this? Oh yeah, you had a pic of a dog that you lost, Sarah with the bows.

They are playmates and tag-team trouble makers.

And, our sweet 19 year old cat, Coco.



We also had a hedgehog for a while, but Zoodaughter sensibly decided to give him to a friend:

I got him from a rescue last November...

[ironflange]

82. This is Myshra

This shot was taken at least 20 years ago. A tiny fuzzy white cat with a little grey cap. She's long gone now, but no cat can ever match her sweet nature. Your lap would never be unoccupied for long. She would catch birds, butterflies, and dragonflies, but never seemed to hurt them. She'd just bring them into the house and let them loose. Moths were another story, she loved them, especially the big fat ones. I found her outside the door one morning with a little dead garter snake next to her. The look on her face was a combination of pride and wonderment at her finding such a strange and exotic creature. Had I ever seen anything like this?!?

I still miss her, always will.
