I was going to start a similar thread asking about everyone's pets. As in what sort of animals have/do you keep.
My list is long and varied. Dogs, cats, turtles, fish, a blue-tailed lizard, a packrat, chickens, and horses. I'm sure I'm leaving out something.
Anyway, pics:
Carmen. Our current cat. She's grown considerably since this picture was taken.
Monty. In the basket on DH's bike.
Vrka. I still miss this one. Perhaps the weirdest psych of all our pets - she'd been abused as a pup and it really showed. Really sweet to family, and the most trainable dog I've ever had. This is the one that I would bike with. A long leash, a high guts/brains ratio, open trails, and we were happy. No pics of that, though, sorry.
Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
