Pets: Post a picture

[boldikus]

This is Nino. After 16 wonderful years, we had to let him go last night. Sad times.

[Nrthwnd]

^ sorry for your loss. he looked like an awesome wonderful cat!

and that little "tattoo" on his nose....very cool. sleep well, Nino.

[boldikus]

Thanks, Bill. And yes we always loved his nose.

[Nrthwnd]

^ Your cat lived to an awesome age! I just passed my first "stress test" with Stella, as being an "outdoor cat,"

the average life expectancy for such a cat is....6 years. Stella's now at 7 years as of June, and she knows

what raccoons are, and to only observe them from afar. Still, we have had coyotes in the area, and I just worry,

as any "parent" would.

I may have posted this earlier. But..... whatever. She doesn't care. Pose!

Sorry to hear about Nino, Boldy. He looks like he was an awesome cat.

[Nrthwnd]

We recently discovered, that Stella has a new "nest" outside,

where she enjoys curling up in it, and taking catnaps.

Looking over the west side of our front porch, you might catch a glimpse of her.

Much closer. And there she is, all curled up! Taken today, 5:30 pm-ish.

This kid is walking the only type of pet I ever want...

 

[CaptainUnknown]

The first time my cat has cuddled me in months.

[Nrthwnd]

^^ I loved that! And I remember them being sold at our PNE, years ago.

I wanted to get one, and then use it, as needed. But I missed the chance.

Recent pic of our Stella.

Spent the weekend at my parents house looking after their cats while they're on holiday. Or maybe you could say the cats were taking care of me...??

[prozach626]

My wife and our boy. German Shorthaired Pointer. 70 pounds of pure energy with the need for constant attention and exercise.

[Nrthwnd]

^ Name? ^ Looks like an awesome dog.

 

But his look is saying...ARE WE DONE NOW can we go now, can we play now, hu huhuhpantpantpantpleeeeeeaze???

 

[prozach626]

Haha. It took a lot of work to get that picture. He doesn't sit still very often. His name is Greg. We chose that name, because we thought who the hell would name a dog Greg?

[Philrad71]

^ LOL!

 

The friend that I went to visit in Seattle used to have cats named Bob & Chuck when he used to live back here in Western NY.

[Nrthwnd]

^ & ^^ I think, that the next female cat we get, in keeping with our

"S" names policy, we're going to name her Sam ~ for Samantha, obviously.

[prozach626]

I'm a pretty big fan of people names for animals. My brother/sister in law named their dog Kevin, which they got a short time after we had Greg. Sam would be a good name for a cat.

[Philrad71]

Now that hardly anyone names their children names with normal sounding names anymore, might as well name our pets with them.

 

Humans rarely name their kids Herb, Randall, Jenny, Karen, Todd, Joan or Ernest anymore...all awesome pet names now. LOL

[Nrthwnd]

Saw this, made me laugh, decided all you dog owners need to know too.....

[DoinItForTheFame]

Here is a picture of my awesome puppy!!!

 

 

Oh. Wait. That's right. My partner says NO to having a pet.

^^ Meh, Michael said that originally too...then Bacchus happened.

The day we picked him up.

Mr. "There is no way in HELL that we're getting a dog!!"

 

This is the same night that we brought him home. LOL

[Nrthwnd]

^ He's so cuuuuuute!

[Philrad71]

^ I don't know what I would have done without Bacchus in my life during the past two horrific years.

 

Dogs really ARE great therapy, I don't care what anyone says!

[Nrthwnd]

I honestly think, that if my partner 'went' before myself, I would

probably switch to a small dog, for attention and love. We've both

been cat people for several decades now.

 

My current thought on the subject.

[Philrad71]

^ I could see you with a small dog, Bill...Chihuahua's certainly have an interesting personality.

 

It's like one of those dogs that you have to own versus seeing someone else's. They are EXTREMELY loyal to their owners, so when you see someone else's Chihuahua and all they want to do is bark at you and try to bite you when you turn your back on them...they don't do that with their owners - unless you try to take away their food - but that's how most dogs roll.
