    Pic of Smokey and Sweetie.  Of course this was taken a while ago, and they are full sized now, but still act like the inquisitive kitties pictured here!

    This is so sweet.

    Those little tiny homes that folks sometimes live in have always intriqued me.  We have a friend whose son lives in one that is on wheels.  It is parked on their property.  It is so tiny and yet seems surprisely comfortbale for him.  Your cabin looks like it was built with love. -- Cynthia

    Oh!  Such pretty babies!!  :).   Rick's sister is trying to give me  a 9 wk old gray kitten, but I'm just not ready for one yet.  I can barely handle two fish!!   I do wish I could snuggle up with one tonight though and fall asleep to its purring....  :)

    Going to try this...

    Here is my motley crew:

    Buddy - my little red pup I got in 2005 from a home health patient (backwoods family, had about 15 dogs) whose dog had pups - I loved him and watched him from the time he was born. The dad said, "You better take that pup if you want him. I'm going to knock him in the head. We can't feed him." Say no more. Buddy is supposedly part dalmatian, chow, blue heeler, etc. I've got a baby pic and grown up pic of him here.

    image

    Rascal is the little Jack Russell that we acquired at a campground in Oklahoma on our way to Texas. He had been dumped there. He was sprayed by a skunk and reeked to high heaven. We took him anyway. This is him getting ANOTHER bath to try to get rid of the smell after we got him.

    image

    Varmint is the tortoiseshell kitten that showed up on our back porch half starved. My husband named her when she crawled up his leg and adopted him on the porch. She is lounging in the top of the cat tower in the living room now... life of leisure.

    image

    Smokey is the gray one - she was brought to me very sick, eyes glued shut, pneumonia, after her mother was killed when she was five weeks old. She was a fighter - we got her well and she now lives a life of leisure as well.

    imageimage

    Juliet is the cream colored cat with the darker markings - she is 15 years old and now diabetic, on insulin twice a day. She is spoiled and lives a life of leisure and eats Fancy Feast because it's low carb.

    Spud was the beautiful yellow cat we lost two years ago and still miss terribly. He was rescued as a kitten in 2001.

    image

    Taffy was the tiny yellow kitten Spud brought home (his mini-me) one day - when we opened the door to let Spud in, Taffy followed. She was very sick. We tried everything, took her to the vet, got medicine, fed her with a dropper, named her, but she only lived two days. Broke my heart. I never found out where she came from.

    image

    The last one is my daughter, her husband and son in a photo booth in November the day we got results that her cancer was "stable." Happy family! Just had to show them off too.

    image

    Sorry I posted so much and so many pics - this has been a much needed diversion for me!

    P.S. Edit: Where did my photos go??? Oh... I missed a step - inserting them! Fixed now.

    My dog Toko-

    who loves boating but sinks when he falls in the water.

    Any other pet pics out there?   AA

    I love him!

    Toko is a cutie! Looks like he is into boating.

    Beautiful kitties!

    The look like they have a hard life, just like my cats! If they only knew how good they have it!

    Oh I love this post ... a good distraction

    If we did not have our little dog in our life right now life would be much harder.  Your dog boating is a great picture!  And these beautiful cats that folks have ... our cat Tiger lived to be almost 20 years old but he was never very affectionate, but I think he did love us.  We rescued him from the woods behind our home as a kitten. 

    Here is part of our menagerie Sweet Pea and Squiggles.

    They are so cute!

    I used to have a guinea pig named Rosie. I miss her, too. They are very sweet.

    Maxwell is so cute

    He looks like a baby! I love him. Thanks for this thread about pets. I forget how much they bring to my life and lately have taken them for granted and probably ignored them with all the stress. This has been good for me, seeing everybody's pets and stopping to appreciate my own.

    Here a really historic one...

    ... That's me and my pony "Donna" way back somewhere in the 1970ies. I got her as I was 6 years and she 7 weeks old (my grandma had to raise her by bottlefeeding her) and we spent 16 years together. Then she got ill and my (grand)parents had to decide to put her down while I was away doing my exams.So I got that news only afterwards and could not say goodbye.

    I still miss her today :-(
