The black one is Annabel Lee (named for the Edgar Allen Poe poem). She is queen of our house. We just got Vladimir (the Russian blue) a couple weeks ago. Annabel hates him and I think prays that he'll go away soon, but they're warming up to each other. I love those little brats!!
Annabel will be 3 in March and has much disdain for everyone, however, she does get frisky when we bring out her sparkly pom-pom balls. (She would be mortified to know that we have a video of her when she was smaller, spinning round and round after a feather-stick.) I think she was royalty in a past life.
Vlad is only 6 months old and has so much life. I've forgotten what it's like to have a kitten in the house. He has three modes, sleep, cuddle, and CRAZED. He's a lot more affectionate than Annabel. He's sort of like a frat boy. "Hey, black cat, you wanna play??" "HISS SPIT GROWL CURSE!!" "Okay, cool, maybe later." (Repeat 10 seconds later.)
Sorry, I have a tendency to go on and on about them. I'm not ready for human babies yet, so I talk about the furry ones incessantly.

Annabel is gorgeous!
To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

Thank you!! She's a really great cat, very talkative. We think she's part Bombay, because her legs and tail are shorter that most cats and her face is more rounded.

They are beauties! Yep, give 'em time, and they'll be best buddies. Really. Probably. Well, you know cats, who can say...

That's what everyone keeps telling me. At first I got upset and would cry when she got ugly with Vlad, but now it's a source of entertainment. He keeps trying to bodyslam her. Fool cat. He'll learn that it's the girl who's the boss. Just like with people. Originally Posted by Lise

That is freakin' hilarious!!! I have a 10 year old Pomeranian and a 3 month old Pom- they act a lot like that--- Kasey ( the coffee cup Pom pictured some pages above) gets in Gizmo's face to say hey lets play- you look like my Momma- what's that pretty long hair on your tail- wanna play- wanna bark - come on let's bark, okay then I'll just yap . . . Gizmo says GRUMPH -get outta my face and let me nap- -
But they are so cute when they come in and sit side by side to wait for treats . . .A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

OK, it's a bad picture but here are my babies - Zeus is the dark one, a border collie "mamma's boy", 10 years old, and the other beauty is Xena, my 8 year old elkhound mix, with one blue eye and one brown eye. She's a great mouser, too.

The dog on the right in the picture in this post http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showp...1&postcount=11 lost her battle with cancer yesterday. Cassie was almost 13, and I'd had her for 8 years. She was my last foster dog from my days of doing cocker spaniel rescue. She got along so well with my other two dogs, and was so sweet compared to my two rambunctious boys, that I just had to keep her.
After thoughtful words and advice from Lisa SH here on the board and from my wonderful dog walker, I finally had the courage to take Cassie to the vet yesterday to put her out of the pain and misery from her mast cell tumors. My extraordinarily compassionate veterinarian made the ordeal bearable, and I'm so grateful for that. But even so, as dogmama said a few weeks ago, it sucks.
Here's a picture of my adorable Cassie resting inside the fireplace, her favorite spot.

Oh, DivingBiker, I'm so sorry to hear that.
It's always so hard to lose a pet. But understand that you did the right thing. Cassie isn't suffering any more.
I'll light a candle tonight to guide her to the Bridge.

Our deepest sympathy, divingbiker. Mere words are so inadequate, but take comfort that Cassie is at peace. Possibly our greatest act of love towards our beloved furry companions is giving them a gentle passing at the time of their greatest need.
Gentle journey, dear Cassie.
Much alofa,
