Here they are, my babies. Ariel has silky sepia-grey long hair with fuzzy light grey hair underneath. She's a fluff ball. She's also a scientist, with a concentration in gravity. She causes things to submit to gravity, and observes them very closely. She jumps down and sniffs them carefully to gather more data. Then she walks away, no doubt to write up her report. This first picture was taken when she was pretty young. They're both about 17 now. Isaac is my snuggle-bug little guy. I got him when Ariel decided to take a stroll outside without mentioning it to me, and was gone for 7 awful days. When she was found, she'd lost 20% of her body weight. She *runs* from open doors now. She despised Isaac for about 6 months, tolerated him for about 2 years, and they adore each other now. They are my littlest hearts.

My baby, we adopted her when she was 6 weeks old. That was 6 years ago. She actually she thinks she is the mom to the 5 of us, it is hysterical.

Here's my two, Casey (Bullmastiff) & Brittany (Cocker Spaniel). Here's the two of them in their chair. Casey is 4 1/2 months old in the first pic and just turned 1 yr in the second. The last is Casey when he was just about 2 years old. Of course, at 140` lbs now, Casey has outgrown the chair and poor Brittany is just too old to get in it.

This was a challenge. Rats do *not* sit still well. He made it for the camera, so I quick got the shot. Believe it or not, this was the best one of about 12.

I love this thread! So many beautiful animals, and some that are just plain loveable.

Here's my furry group:

Leia is our blue-eyed girl (it's hard to get her to look at the camera). She's a Siberian Husky we adopted from a shelter in Missouri eight years ago. She's sometimes my training partner - when I can keep up.



Dharma is eight years old. She's our little Miss Priss - seldom lets the guys touch her but she's in my lap all the time.



Finally our little goofball, Snowshoe, is four years old. He sleeps in the bathroom sink a lot. We'll walk in when it's dark, flip on the light, and he'll look at us - "What are YOU doing in here?"



Ah, the hair, the wet kisses . . .

Here are my kitties exploring my then brand-new bedside table. Mira is the Siamese-type thing on the bottom, and Ri (short for Orion, but alas, a fierce hunter he is not) is on the top. He's very sweet, but kind of a wuss. They have two states: running around like crazy and sleeping. Most of my pictures are of them sleeping.



I got them separately, but they are only about 2 months apart in age. They're about 2.5 years old now. They still play like kittens, and do have their tiffs, but mostly they seem to like each other.

Ri + mice = bliss

Ri looks so much like my Isaac in that bottom picture!

The "Cute Overload" site is great !! I suggest everyone take a look at "unusual animals". All beautiful animals! Thanks for the link.

Have a great day!

He does! Isaac has beautiful green eyes. Ri's are orange/gold...just like the rest of him.

I love cats. Mine have never shown any interest in sinks, however. Ri has this love/hate relationship with water, and likes to play with the water dish until he splashes himself. Then he hisses and runs away. He might kill me in my sleep if I tried to put him in a sink...I might test this anyway.

muahahahahaha....

Yes, Isaac does have beautiful green eyes. Ariel's are that pale yellow. A leetle bit spooky sometimes. Especially when she gives that penetrating, full-on stare, as in the picture! I think she's a very old spirit.

Isaac re-discovers running water occasionally, and it's as if it were the first time he'd seen it. "WHOA! Faucet! HEY! Flushing toilet! Cool, man!"

Of course, at 140` lbs now, Casey has outgrown the chair and poor Brittany is just too old to get in it.

Last winter, my brother-in-law (who thinks I am an idiot for treating my dogs like children) built a set of carpeted steps so my two older dogs could still get up into their favorite chair.

peanut use to fit infront of my computer, then moved on to a chair, which she still thinks she can fit on, but she basically owns the love seat. casey curls up just like peanut does. maybe we should get them together.

If you don't have a handy brother-in-law, they now sell steps at Linens N Things. I have been considering them for our Maggie, but I honestly don't know if she would figure them out. She is a bit slow but we love her just the same.

This is our girl Echo - she's 9 months old and quite the mad dog
