Show us your pets!

....but it's so hard to imagine loving an animal the way I loved him.
It really helps to know that other people feel the same way about their pets.

But love you will. Maybe not exactly the same way, but our hearts have an amazing way of finding new ways to love our furry and feathered companions.
When I lost Samantha, and then Caboose both to cancer (L and R in the pic below), I never thought I could love another cat the same way. They were with me for over 14 years, thru thick and thin, good times and bad. I was devastated, and I still cry after 10 years.
Yet after they earned their wings, several stray cats adopted me, and I learned to love again. Was it the same? No. Was it equal? Absolutely. Equal but different. You'll see.

thanks PN. I think you are right. I had a coon hound that I lost very suddenly before we had Tyson. DH and I waited 2 years before we adopted the big palooka in the photo. Once he was in our lives we wondered why we waited so long. And, yes we loved him equally, but differently.

We are looking forward to our next pet when the time is right.

OK so this is really geeky, but my kitties now have their own MySpace style pages on Catster....

I had to register and set up a page since I wanted to send an email to a kitty I think may be my little Shio's brother so I figured what the heck I'll set them both up with their own pages.

found out my little one is a Chartreux - I'd never even heard of the breed until I got her and researched silver kitties. The breeder that confirmed that she is a Chartreux thinks someone probably was doing some unathorized breeding and when they couldn't sell the kittens (not that they wouldn't be allowed to sell them, but no one will buy one without papers) they took them to the shelter , but in the end it means that I got her and shes a real sweetie.

Miso is the lynx point siamese and Bento is the blue point
I don't know what I would do without them.
