Show us your pets!

Maxwell and Jack are beautiful, and so well groomed. My English Cocker Spaniel is a complete scruff like me. Doesn't help that I do his hair myself so he looks like a muppet. Still my boy though. He's a blue roan but greying now as he's 10+

And I love the radiator belly's eyepatch!

I also groom Moo (don't tell Maxwell I called him that) and Jack. That being said, they are pretty wash and wear. No haircuts.

English cockers are beautiful dogs. I am such a spaniel fan!!! Your little muppet man is loved, I can tell and I bet he thinks his haircut is fabulous!! Gotta love our old guys. Maxwell is almost 7 and Jack is 5 1/2.

Hehe Mica looks quite comfortable in her "cooling off" position. Too cute.

They are now 8 but they look the same as when they were three.

Here's the birthday boy! This morning he shared a celebratory can of tuna with is feline housemates, and this evening they'll be having a catnip party.

Calling today his birthday is kinda arbitrary-- his mother was one of our many street cats. But just before Halloween 2001, something happened to his mother. So one day, this scrawny, starving kitten walked up to me and my dog in our yard, and said "help!" Moses came into the house, had a big meal and some water, got hissed at by my cat, sniffed by the dog, and never left. The vet said he was born at the end of August, and he might have died of starvation in a few days if I hadn't taken him in.

Now he's a very big guy, and he's going to make sure he never risks starvation again. For a fixed male, he has strong maternal instincts-- when Joe joined the household a few years ago, he still wanted to nurse. This little kitten would latch onto Moses' non-functional nipples and go to work, and Moses would just lie there with a blissed-out look in his eyes...

Happy Birthday, Moses!

And, Beth, your cats are gorgeous. What a pair!

[RubyTuesday]

Awwww...... Happy Birthday sweet boy. What a sweet face!

So today I adopted a 14 week old kitten, who remarkably looks like Moses in the post above. I'll get a new photo tomorrow, maybe. She's currently in the guest bedroom, trying to get settled. Tomorrow I'll let Calypso and .... meet. Her name from the shelter is Yelena - which I think needs to change.

She and her litter mates were turned in to a no-kill shelter, then fostered for 4 weeks in the Pets for Prisons program. I have a log from her Foster Mom. She seems shy, is usually hiding when I've gone in to check on her, but I can coax her out after a couple of minutes for some petting and play.

Then when I get home the organizational part of my brain kicks in and I remember that I'm supposed to go on a business trip the week after Labor Day. oops. Have to make boarding arrangements for Calypso and Her - or may leave New Kitty at home and ask my neighbors to check on her and just board Calypso (we still have that pooping outside the litter box problem , so I don't want her to be left home when I'm gone). New Kitty is a proper lady, and uses the litter box.

Here's Mica demonstrating how to keep cool. Of course she's going to be hot, hanging out in an unairconditioned kitchen on a day when the temp reached 94F while her person was making jam....

Love Mica's random splashes of black!

They are beautiful, how do you tell them apart?

I'm a newbie here but thought I would share the 'kids' with everyone.

Meet Astro! Hes a real sweetie. Then... theres Georgio. He loves hubby, but hates me, unless I have food and he wants a bite. In which case he will fly to me and sit on the back of my chair until I give him some, then he leaves! Otherwise he just bites me.

I've never seen a corgi with an all white face, what a handsome boy!

Thanks! We hadnt either. But he does have a 'corgi' personality.

[skywalkerbeth]

Thanks for the compliments on my kitties! Sweet sweet girls.

Cecily is fluffier and chubbier than her sister Ophelia.

Love the videos!

Haha, you HAVE to just love Quakers! I have a little girl...Olive (not because of their color, but when we first got her we didn't know if she was a girl or a boy and named her Oliver).

Cute bird, though I hope he doesn't bite TOO hard

I am really not a dog person, but there is just something about a Corgi or hound that just makes me smile!

[meggers113]

Corgi! What a cutie! I have two pembroke corgies, Cephiro, the red and white, and Eva, the tri-color.

While looking for a good pic, I realized that they're sleeping in most of my pictures of them, otherwise all the camera catches is a blur of fur.



I hope the picture upload works, this is the first time I've tried it!
