One of our cats.

I have 2 new kittens, they are brothers. We call them the twins. Oh, but do they have 2 very opposite personalities!
Calvin is so laid back and likes to sleep alot and he never gets into trouble and likes to be picked up! Then...... there's Oliver. OMG! He never sleeps and is into everything he can get into! My husband has nicknamed him "Mr. Horrible" because when we pick him up he cries and squirms around to get down like everything we do is just so horrible!!!!! They does have something in common...they are both so cute I could just eat them up! And I love them both just the same!!!!

Meet "Alfie", my hubby's new life long friend



May be a door stop, but way too cute to use as one. :). so he sits on the table at the side of my dear husband. Hope he looks after the real one as good, when he gets her.

I have to admit Alfie is about the most adorable door stop I've ever seen.

I had to share this.

I've just gotten up and come throught to the computer, which is upstairs overlooking the front of the house. My dogs were with me but Max runs up and down the stairs bringing me toys.

Suddenly he is barking, his vicious there is something there bark. I look out, the street is quiet, nothing around. He is still barking and growling, but now a little uncertainly.

I go over to the window and look out. Now I can't stop laughing. There on the driveway is

wait for it

a red balloon, inflated and rolling around.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my dog, my protector is saving me from Balloons!!

Our puppy is much larger then the image of him earlier in this thread, yet he is always real cute. I am so thankful today that he is alright. Bleeding and scrapes on his paws are cleaned and healing, and an abrasion and small gash on his leg healing. He managed to escape from my one of my children who set out to walk him, and doggie literally went zoom off the porch, down the driveway and a mile away down the street and through some difficult brush. His leash got dragged the whole way.

We all chased after him, found and caught him safely, and then my son had been handed over the leash again with puppy on it, and what do you know but the damn leash broke to pieces and he escaped again.

I caught him and am so glad to have him home, safe with us. This doggie is really amazing!

But, I was some kind of' a scatterbrain afterwards, patient but stressed out and very chatty, wanting answers, as this is the second time I've caught him in the last few days, and he runs right into the street with cars; This part is just Terrible!!!!!!!

AND my buddy!

Shadow

 

[The Albatross]

I will have to try to find and remember my account info for photobucket to share pics (blank at the moment) but our animal companions are a never ending source of distraction and pleasure. They are:

Boomer (the elder tom feline)
Clara Belle (the elder female feline)
JoJo (the junior tom feline)
Nicoal, Grace, and Elsa (two adoptees and a feral rescue the next day... felines, I call them "the Three Sisters" after a mountan formation in Oregon)
Crystal (feral female rescue and the baby of the family)

Jesse (german short hair/beagle mix rescue and my most devoted canine)
Daisy (basset hound pound puppy I found her after my dad died - we had shasta daisys growing in the front yard of our home and one of my childhood dogs was a basset)
Bodine "Bodi boy", a rescue American fox hound, from our fish camp. (Our beautiful problem child... too smart for his own good and when he's bored prone to eating furniture - an 1800's English chaise, 2 rocker recliners, a low boy chair, a love seat and a hole in the middle of my jute throw rug... so far).

Are you sure you shouldn't of named him "Chainsaw"?

Shadow is a rotten rescue. His mom ferel/bobcat mix, dad jet black ferel w/1 white boot. They lived in my barn/faundry when I lived in the country. Had a grass fire run through the feilds burned down 2 barns and hay barn, was cleaning the mess up when I would hear a "meep". I meowed back to get shadow tennis ball sized fur ball with closed eyes. Not sure how he survived the fire.
