I love that brindle boxer Laura! I guess I better get cracking on setting up my scanner. I hope it works with W7X64 since this thread is all my fault, according to you!

Laura,
He is Beautiful!!!
I live with two cats, my husband has the two dogs at his place (I live in an apt., he's got over an acre of land). I've attached one of each cat, Grayce (gray tabby) and Daphne (white) and a couple from when the pups were visiting. Autumn is the 'blue heeler', Serenity resembes their dad, an 'aussie shepherd'. Thanks for letting me share!
PS-Laura, you are a Very talented photographer!! I love your deviant gallery!

Sadly our two ferrets have passed on. But in their prime, they ruled! Two of our dogs ( not shown as both have also passed on ) would play with them. The big dogs didn't want anything to do with them.

Cool Idea, Laura & Augie!
Laura, your Boxer is gorgeous!
I have my birds outside, but I also have
a house cat inside.. She is 13, and
never has been outside. I figured as
long as I had her spayed and declawed,
she wasn't going to turn into a SAILCAT!
She is a lot of fun too. Still enjoys playing
She does get to watch the birds thru the window

Time to play:

Aww Tim, I love Jessie! Here's my sorry pics from 20 years ago, it's all I have left now and my Paint skills are non-existant. Sorry folks.

Chani loved to be carried everywhere in that basket for some some reason and in that very position too. Then when she'd get hungry, she'd get out and do the leg rub thing which meant I'll trip over her if I don't feed her NOW!

Daisy was a good companion except she got easily bored when I was at work. You may notice some of the chair's guts exposed by her right ear. This was her 'I didn't do anything bad look'! She went out for a poop one very cold February evening, -30 or so and when she didn't start barking wanting to get back in after 30 secs., I saw her laying down in the snow. Vet said it was probably a heart attack. A great protector.

Sheesh... now I gotta go take new pics of our 5 dogs... Between a Chihuahua, Mini Poodle with 3 legs, a Golden retriever and 2 Golden Retriever/pit bull puppies (my babies) we have our hands full... puppies turn 6mos on Sunday

Here we go, pictures of my beautiful cat. Ladies, Gentlemen, and others, I present to you:

Casey the Cat, Divinely Supreme Ruler of the Backyard, Defeater of Bulldogs and Persistent Pesterer of Chihuahuas:

Hey Mimsy, Didn't you tell her the mouse is on the outside of the PC?

hehe...well, it couldn't possibly be MY fault.

@Gypsyblood ... thank you very much for the compliment. Unfortunately for everyone, Oscar seems to be my favorite subject. Your animals are gorgeous. Truly. What beautiful green eyes Grayce has.

@Mims...love that pic of her putting her paw in whatever that hole is that looks like it accesses the innards of your machine.

lmao...glad you explained that one picture, augie. I looked at it before reading and was wondering why you had duct taped your poor kitty up. Cute pics

Every time I see people's cats, I want to get another. I miss my Sachi.

At one time, Laura., we had two horses, five dogs, two cats, two ferrets and a chicken.

We are now at the point where we are no longer replacing any of them when they pass on.

Oh, the mouse was long dead by that point... mauled, manhandled, and thoroughly killed.

It's a skeleton system where I put old parts that I think might work, but I'm not sure, and I don't care enough to worry about it, so it's nothing I'd miss if she nukes it. Most likley, she saw something shiny in there... Casey is very enthusiastic about capturing shiny objects.

Thats a beautiful cat Mims

Having an awful time with my pictures-----

This is BooBoo in 1965, he was a biter (not my family) and was always on quarantine so finally gave him to a public health nurse who loved him as much as we did. She brought me a box of candy after having him for a while.



This was Mechiko our Akita @ 4 months


Sheba, smartest dog I've ever seen. I asked her if she wanted to go to the store with me, I pulled the seat froward so she could get in the back and noticed her mouth looked funny. I asked hypothetically aloud, "whats in your mouth" she backed out of being half way into the car and dropped a doggy treat on the ground then got in the car. I don't know how long I stood there with my mouth open. I'm sure she thought, "what's wrong with her mouth"


Lady (Sheba's dog) she turned up around Thanksgiving in the 80's, we went as long as we could not feeding her, thinking she would go away. It was like 2 days, think we buckled on Thanksgiving. Every time she did try to go Sheba would stand sideways in front of her not letting her pass, Sheba's dog

Each one was special, love and miss them all

[Speculant]

LauraR...your photos are simply awesome, you are a very good photographer!

Here are some pics of my Bichon Frise "Missy":

(longer hair)

I wish that I could have a cat (because cats are awesome), but my dad is allergic to them. I've suggested the idea of a hairless cat, but somehow my parents don't like that idea...
