This is Snorkle (her sire's name was Oceanfront so all of his get was named an ocean themed name) - she was having a blast out in the field - I realize the shot is...well...hazy and a little noisy, but I love it just the way it is, no editing no nothing...I captured her just kicking up her heels and having a good time

Aw, I am loving this thread!!!:mrgreen:
Manaheim,
Your cars are gorgeous. I wish I could have cats, but I am SOOO allergic, and even if I wasn't, well, my dog wouldn't allow it.:lmao:

Chewbecca, you've taken the most amazing pictures of your dogs.. I would argue award winning. . Submit them everywhere!!!!

And, mikie2084, I like Duke's ears 1000% more before his cosmetic surgery... Unless you're going to show him, I would have preferred his ears left alone... Sorry for the C&C, but those ears are really, really annoying now, but were really cute floppy.

Aw, thanks, stsinner!!


I hear people say this about dobes all the time. 2 out of 3 of the dobes my husband grew up with, had floppy ears. He prefers floppy ears.

I, on the other hand, prefer a dobe with a nice crop. Something about a crop makes a dobe look elegant and sophisticated.
I think floppy ears make them look too...hound-y. They just don't look like dobes to me if they are not cropped.
Now, having said that, if I ever got a dobe, I probably would not crop his/her ears. hahahaha. But that's mainly because I do NOT want to deal with taping and boarding up the ears so that they set right.

Darnit now I feel petsick (its like being homesick except that you just want the pets and not the wattle and dawb --- yes that is what my house is made of - that and oak)

Anyway I will have to trawl through my archive for shots - some of you have probably seen them already - but they are all I have atm:

1) Husky - Heidi 2ish years old now I think, and still an uncontrolable terror Endlessly jealous of our cats, endlessly wanting to hunt the ducks, geese, chickens - aw heck almost anything that moves - and responcible for turning a good portion of our garden into a series of husky holes. And yet she is very affectionate and hates being left behind at home.

if only it were not for the collar - the lead is at least cloneable - but that dratted collar!

2) Blacky - old around 10ish now I think . Wandered in a kitten and decided to stay - her early days she would scratch anything that got within range yet she stayed dispite hating us . 10 years on and she is now the adorable lapcat - it only took 10 years. And dispite being scared of her offspring she is the only cat who stood her ground againt the terror of the husky!

2) Popsy - younger that the one above but a few years - from her aboves first litter a small and adorable little cat - and only the other cat to come indoors now with the husky around (though she just climbs up the roses on the wall to get into the first floor )

This is Sharess - she was a rescue kitty we found 4 years ago.

We got Nissa from a shelter as a kitten. She's very devoted to my daughter.

Owww there's some really lovely ones here!!!
Here's my Cat, Rat and Dog!

 

[manaheim]

Thanks, Chew!

Over- beautiful husky! We've always loved those but never had the nerve to get one. So much work, and we're lazy. Beautiful cat to.

Syn- wow, your daughter is beautiful. Patient cat, too.

 

[manaheim]

omg tasha... that one with the rat!!!! What an awesome picture!!!!

EDIT: I was referring to the car/rat one... I've seen the cupboard one (I like that one too)

Thanks, you really should get one they are a lot of fun!! haha
Not sure what your kitty's would think though!!
Windsor it beatiful!

*Deadeye that is a cool picture is it a Chihuahua?

hehe, I used to work at a local pet store and I was always playing with the rats. They're really cool pets. I used to walk around with one on my shoulder to freak people out.

As far as what my kitty's would think... *if* the rat managed to survive long enough for my cats to realize he was a pet (my cats are deadly killers), Windsor would probably effectively roll his eyes and go "Oh geez, another one..."

Windsor has been through...

- 6 cats
- 4 dogs
- 3 ferrets
- 3 appartments
- 4 houses
- 4 towns
- 2 kids
- 1 wife

We call him the "Elder Statesmen of Cats", though my friend Jer just calls him "poopsie".

He's been through a lot, so nothing phases him. The only cats I ever see more laid back than him are the occasional barn cats I bump into. Talk about battle-worn.

Thank you! The photo is a few years old - my daughter is 9 now. Nissa still loves her and allows her to do all sorts of things to her - like put hats on her head. Gwynyth adores the cats and says Nissa is her best friend.

I can let you meet just my furry friends, but the feathery friend would get jealous....


First is Velvet. Got her maybe 4 years ago for the girls. She hangs outside keeping the mice away.

Next one has a little story. The girls who live across the road have quite a few animals. Problem is, they never take care of them. Our cat is fed outside and this male ventured over hungry seeking food one day. He's pretty much living on our back porch now. My youngest daughter, Emma, named him. He is "Emma's cat the neighbor cat".

For the feathery parts, this is Lola. Our oldest daughter wanted a dog. My wife does not like dogs, so she tried to compromise and got her a bird.

Very good at putting puzzles together. Smart bird....

The final and newest addition. Amy. After getting the bird, surprise surprise, my daughter still wanted a dog! So, here is Amy. She is 3 months old here in these photos when we first got her. She is now just over 4 months old.

She's a pampered little thing.....

This is Shadow and her 11 pups, yeap, thats right Eleven and only 8 feeding stations. We managed to raise all 11 pups and they all were within about 2 ounces of each other.

I have 3 boxers and big fat cat named "Lump"

They have teeth now and I'm not happy

 

[Chewbecca]

I wanted to add one picture of Ella. I love this picture, even though I cut off the tip of her right ear (with THOSE ears I have to be strategic when taking her pic to get both her ears completely into the picture!).
I took this with my Nikon D60 and the 18-55mm kit lens. I like to use this picture when people start bitching about how the kit lens isn't sharp.

Looks pretty damn sharp to me!
