That is indeed her job
I am considering moving when my lease is up in November...I can have a cat if I don't have carpet. It is the double-whammy that is the problem with my allergies. So if I can find a place that has more bike storage, no carpet, where I can ride somewhere without having to drive my bike there, AND save a little on rent (oh, and I can't leave the county since I work for the City) then I will move.
Guess I am not asking much, am IOh well, but it would be great to be able to have a cat again...
Finally.
Say hello to our most gracious reigning queen, who hasn't deigned to tell us her name yet. She's about 2 years old, and has spent about a month at the shelter. She was found running between cars and trams in "Thereses gate" and was nicknamed "Mother Teresa". Which is probably not going to stick. She's confident, social, a headbutterand talks to us when she's lonely or bored. Her favourite pose is sprawled out using the maximum amount of space at the least opportune spot. She's extremely friendly, and will start purring and kneading her paws at the drop of a hat, but she's not excessively needy or neurotic. She's also very active, lithe and playful with lovely glossy fur, so she was probably treated very well wherever she came from.
We're in lurrrrve.
And on a sadder note, I am so thankful to have a cat right now. I had a huge "breakup" with a friend who basically unjustly accused me of lying, so I'm feeling pretty heartsore right now. A purring cat calms the soul like nothing else.
And here she is:

She is so cute. Stop making me want a kitty even worse than I already do.
These aren't my dogs, but here are some photos I took. I'm trying to get good enough to sell them (people like to pay for good action shots of their performance dogs).
the whole link is at the bottom. There are a lot of them, so if you look, use the fastest approach you can!
Here are a couple of my favorites

We recently adopted this little senior citizen sheltie boy who is a special needs dog. He had been sitting in a shelter for a month when a Good Samaritan saw him and promptly moved him into a rescue.He was terribly underweight (14 lbs!) had a bad tooth
and was very stressed. Hubby saw him on Petfinder and fell in love with him. His hearing is almost gone and he has vision loss in one eye but to us that makes him even more special. He just had a cancerous tumor removed and is doing very well. From the very start he fit right in with Niki and Kali and it was as though he had always been a part of our family. We love him even more with each passing day.
I just want to hug him, he's beautiful.

Way to go Sundial. I volunteer at an animal sanctuary in town that houses primarily older, discarded dogs, and helps educate people how to take care of (and not throw away) their dogs when they get older and develop "needs," as they are usually considered "unadoptable" and instantly put down if/when they end up at the pound or shelter....but often still have plenty of years of life and love in them, and can teach us a lot.
Thanks for rescuing that guy...he's gorgeous!
