My sheltie Loki is in the front here. I've had her for a year now after my friend found her shivering in the pouring rain out in the middle of the suburbs. I adopted her shortly thereafter.
My cat Monkey is the star of my avatar of course![]()

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I've only ever had 2 cats at the same time once in my life, when I took in my Mum's cat when Mum died. My cat, who truly ADORED me, but hated all others, and thought she owned the house, was not happy. (that would be an understatement)
I always said how envious I was of people who have cats that get along, who even can be in the same room together.
Well here are Maeve and Finbar in their new "kitty condo", which was their treat with our income tax refund.![]()

Reesha~ thanks for taking in a frightened little sheltie. They are sooo sensitive and smart as a whip and I know you'll be repaid handsomely for your rescue efforts.
Skhill~seniors are the best! They fit in so well and have weathered so many trials that life has handed them. They can serve as an inspiration when the going gets tough.
I love threads like this! It's the only time I get to show off my pets, since I can't exactly take them for a walk in the park.
FinFang, my first & friendliest. He's in my icon : D
Amel Boy, the only one who likes me & doesn't like other people
Thanagar. Very opptomistic (as in, "that might be a finger, BUT IT ALSO MIGHT BE FOOD!)
Moss, big slow lump, and my biggest at 54" and 3 pounds (and still growing!). He's my embroidery-buddy, and will sit calmly on my shoulders while I do needlework.
Cardassia. Holy terror who bites & flails around when picked up.
Sappho and Stick Mantis. My friends named them : )
(oh, since this is a non-reptile-savvy form I'll mention I DON'T feed live prey items to my boys; they all get mice from the freezer that have probably had a better life & more humane death than any meat I eat)

I used to house sit for a woman who owned a couple of snakes - such beautiful animals! and so much character, one of hers used to enjoy escaping and hanging in doorways or wrapped around her statues
We rescued our little one almost two and a half years ago - after a whole list of issues with the previous owners the Rangers helped us 'steal' her legally
She was malnourished and had a number of quirky issues as a result of ongoing abuse
She wanted to stay with us
And who could say no to a face like that?
My DH would have massive heart attacks after seeing the pictures of you snakes. He's terrified of them, but they are gorgeous and I love the colors.
I have a cat named Bandit who thinks he's a dog. A friend of mine found him over a year ago when we had some -20 degree nights. she opened her back door and found him shivering. She gave him to us as she couldn't keep him. He "helps" when I quilt as you can see.
I also discovered I had a stowaway under my deck a couple of weeks ago when I heard some rustling. I made the mistake of feeding her and she keeps coming back. I'm not sure if she lives under there full time or has a family elsewhere since she doesn't look sick or starving. She's fairly friendly so she's not feral.
I've told her that she can't come in my house when she made a beeline for the open back door today. She just rubbed her head around my legs and when I was tinkering with my bike today she helped herself into my lap. I refuse to name her so I don't get attached but I think she's already done that.

Meet Jens! It has been two years since we had a pair of Schnauzers, so far Heidi is not in love with the puppy energy. She likes him if he will just calm down. Tortilla is also just fine until he starts being a puppy. I expect the girls to put him in his place soon.![]()

Here's another photo of Little Jens from his breeder, this was taken over the weekend. He was pretty lonely last night, I think he missed his littermates. My Mom is adopting one of the lady's other Schnauzer puppies but he is too tiny to go home. He will be ready soon.
