My pet

[emilyg]

1. Handsome kitty.

[begin_within]

10. Thanks.

I'll tell him. I'm sure he'll just look at me with a smirk as if to say, "Yeah I know." He's extremely extroverted and affectionate with anyone who will pet him - almost like a dog.

[RoyGBiv]

2. Franky ...

ROXANNE!!!

[oshyposhy]

Dillinger likes to sing too!

[begin_within]

[Catshrink]

37. Is Trina a doxie?

Her face looks like my wiener's face even though mine is red. She's beautiful.

[Inchworm]

[begin_within]

16. Can I be your catsitter?

I would spend hours playing with them and when you returned from vacation, they would all be cuddled up all over me, even the one that wouldn't come out from under the bed initially. They would look up at you, but wouldn't get up to greet you, for fear of losing their prime locations next to me.

[oshyposhy]

62. Sure, but none hide under the bed.

The will all sleep on your head and around you one the magic electric blanket.

[zanne]

104. Lucy Fur!

Great name!

[bluedigger]

7. Don't ask!

It's delicious!

[begin_within]

17. Looks like a fun and adventurous dog, the kind to take on trips

[bluedigger]

60. She's pretty game

for adventure - good car doggie. The pic is from her first trip to the beach - Gulf Shore in MS; she was about 7 months old. I think she's eating a dead crab. :rofl:

[driver8]

23. What a great looking dog!

What breed(s) is (s)he?

[bluedigger]

61. Thanks driver8!

Cleopatra Marie is a Catahoula Leopard mix. I have no idea what the "mix" is - she pretty much has all the characteristics of a Catahoula, according to this site, anyways. http://www.catahoulaleopard.com/homepg.htm
"The King of the stock dog breeds, most enduring... stamina is their middle name... CATAHOULA LEOPARD STOCK DOGS outwork and outfight all other breeds of stock dogs when protecting their master, livestock, and property. They are the largest and most aggressive of the cattle dogs, bred to handle wild cattle and hogs in the roughest, most remote country. Catahoulas will also hunt coon, bear, or whatever else they are introduced to. These dogs are not good city dwellers... they need several acres to roam to be happy. A farm or ranch is really their element.

Catahoulas are bred to go and find livestock in swamps, hilly canyons, thickets or forests, or mountains. They will trail, nose to ground, but prefer to throw their heads up and "wind" their prey, taking the shortest route to find, gather up or bunch, and circle and bay the quarry until their master
can reach them to take control.

Preferred size from 20-26", weight 50-90 lbs, with a few individuals larger although most males average 60-70 lbs in lean working condition, & about 24" tall. Short haired, long tail, natural flop ear (like a Dalmatian ear), they come in every color of the rainbow, but are best known for a blue/grey base with black/liver spots ("blue Leopard"), tan legs and face, white toes and chest. Many variations on this general pattern. Spots occur in all colors. Blue/glass or parti-colored "marbled" or "cracked"eyes are common in every litter. Often a dog will have eyes of two different colors."

Cleo's a good little city doggie for now, though! State Dog of Louisiana - not on AKC.

[driver8]

71. Very interesting -- thanks for the info!

I have heard of the breed, but I didn't know anything about them.

I just noticed her right eye is different colors -- very cool!

[BrklynLiberal]

99. She is a beauty. What nice white teeth she has...

18. Seriously, I am the world's best cat sitter

Your cats would be in love with me by the time it was over, and I would give them all equal love time and play time.

[zanne]

105. Your cats have the best names...

Bella and Ed. How can you miss?

[Bertha Venation]

looks like a happy family, soleiri

:hi:

[mth44sc]

19. here is my gang

[begin_within]

21. Those are incredible photos

The emotions really come through and the detail is outstanding. I wish I could go and pick up each one of them and love them individually for about 30 minutes each. Then start over again.

[Peregrine Took]

91. Here's Pip!

DSCN0441x.jpg

[Peregrine Took]

93. What did I do wrong??? Where's my Pip??

[BrklynLiberal]

101. Did you try to paste the actual picture?

You cannot do that. You have to upload the picture to www.photobucket.com and then post the link address from there.

[BrklynLiberal]

100. Incredible pictures of gorgeous furbabies!!!

[zanne]

106. I just want to pick up the grey and white one...

And give her a big smooch.

[begin_within]

22. All beautiful, thanks. Which one is the alpha cat?

[justabob]

44. definitely Gus

aka Augustus Maximus :) He is definitely the boss.

[zanne]

107. I'm in love with Coco....

You better hide her.

[justabob]

118. lol

she stays hidden much of the time. She is very big on cabinets and the top shelves of closets. :D

[driver8]

25. Buddy, the mutt.

[begin_within]

29. Buddy is beautiful.

[krispos42]

26. My kitteh, freshly bathed

[begin_within]

30. and probably hating you at the moment,

but then loving you again when she's dry

[Catshrink]

35. That looks like one pissed off kitteh!

Are your arms clawed raw?

[krispos42]

38. I managed to escape unscathed

She actually jumped on my lap for "rubs" a few minutes after this was taken. Much to my moist chagrin.

She hadn't had a bath in a few years, so...

[Catshrink]

41. I never bathe my cats.

Guess that makes me chicken. Glad you survived the ordeal!

[krispos42]

94. Normally, I don't either

Hell, I used my Suave on her...


But she had major stinky pee butt, and I simply couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't deal with it herself, so...



It's been years since she's had one. :-)

[BeachBaby]

27. Me with my big pillow, Natasha.

She's a 180 pound Old English Mastiff. And a big baby, too. :)

[begin_within]

31. Wow. That is one impressive dog.

And just a bundle of love I bet.

[TZ]

32. awww what a great picture!

hey- don't forget to send me those pictures of me with Natasha....:hi:

[Catshrink]

36. Beautiful pup!

I saw a mastiff and his human taking a walk and stopped my car in amazement. I had never seen a dog that big and had to be sure it was a dog and not a little pony. His feet looked like hooves. Does he sleep on the bed? Is there room for you?

[ThatsMyBarack]

79. That pooch looks like she drools a lot!

How old is she?

Good lookin'--and the dog ain't half-bad either! ;)

[TZ]

80. having visited and met Natasha...

let me just say about the drooling thing...uh YEAH! Thats how you know she likes you..she slobbers all over you...:rofl:

[SoxFan]

97. Holy crap! He qualifies as livestock!

What a big mushball!

[BrklynLiberal]

102. Wow! I just saw a lovely English Mastiff in the Vets office on Monday.

Her name was Catherine, and she weighed in at a bit less than Natasha, but she was only 8 months old.
They are so gorgeous!!!!
That dog's Grandfather weighed over 300 pounds!!!! My jaw dropped to the floor when the owner told me that.
I knew they could be big, but I never knew they could be that big...

[zanne]

108. You're both beautiful. nt

[Withywindle]

136. I LOVE the great big dogs.

My parents are Bull Mastiff fans. Not as huge but still...respectable. THeir last one, the late beloved Holly, thought she was a lap dog. Literally. You'd sit down to watch a movie and she'd come up and plop down on your lap.


Now they have a puppy. They named her Camille. I said, "Like the hurricane?" They hadn't thought of that at the time but now they're like, "yeah, like the hurricane." :D

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

28. Here ya go:

[begin_within]

33. That is cute!

Does this dog realize he/she is a dog?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

34. No. No, he does not. And he would take great offense at your suggestion.

[begin_within]

43. Then I'm glad I asked. I assure you I won't mention it at all.

[NYC_SKP]

134. Bearded Collie, mixed breed, whatchagotthere?

My GF has a Bearded Collie mix, looks just like pic on the left.

[lizziegrace]

39. My friends.

My late best friend in the world, Adam. He died a few years ago.




Gracie





Widget. The sweetest cat that ever adopted me. He's almost 16, losing weight and coughing. I don't know if he's long for this world, but in the meantime, he's happy, playing and eating well. I love him so much.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

40. Adam had a very kind face. I'm sure he was a wonderful companion.

[lizziegrace]

42. He was selectively intelligent ;-)

He was one of my sister's show dogs. He was so special that when the time came for him to retire, she wouldn't let anyone else have him but me. He was Lelapin's shadow. She used to put him in her red wagon and pull him around the neighborhood.

on windy, cold days, he would stand on the hill with his face into the wind, just taking it all in. You know he would've loved to live near the cold ocean in the UK.

Thank you for letting me go on about him. He was sweet, funny and gave the kind of unconditional love you rarely find in this world.

:)

[begin_within]

45. They're all beautiful

Adam was just stunning.

[lizziegrace]

46. If I was a single guy

he'd guarantee I'd be a chick magnet. ;)

:rofl:

[lizziegrace]

47. Seriously. if I'm ever able to get a dog again

it will be a small shepherd of some kind. Having Adam as my first and only dog pretty much guarantees that.

[begin_within]

52. And you can just see in his face that he was happy and inquisitive and gentle and playful.

[Sheltiemama]

89. Oh, Adam was beautiful!

What a sweet face and gorgeous coat!

[Blarch]

48. Ringo ....

[begin_within]

53. So beautful... a type of Siberian Husky or what?

[Blarch]

59. Yup. All Huskie, just red hair.

[ScreamingMeemie]

49. My heartbreaker, Mr. Merlin...missing 3 weeks now.

I am giving up hope and I miss him so much. He was MrG's kitty and I think the move may have been too much for him.


and Jessie




and Licorice--she lives with us now

[lizziegrace]

50. There's not a day that goes by

that I don't think about you and Merlin.

:hug:

I'm so sorry he hasn't made it back.

[ScreamingMeemie]

51. Thank you...

:hug: I just want him to come home but I start thinking that that won't happen.

We'll have check your boy's pedigree against Jessie's sometime; they look so much alike.

I updated the post with her picture. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

54. Jessie!!

Could you PM the breeder information again? I promise to put it in a safe place this time.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

55. I will!

Give me just a couple of minutes. :)

[lizziegrace]

57. Take your time

:)

[begin_within]

56. Aww. I'm heartbroken too.

I'm so sad about Mr. Merlin. But at least you have the other two.

[ScreamingMeemie]

58. I've walked Jessie around the neighborhood in the hopes he

would catch us, or us him.

He is almost 16 and I miss him so much.

Thanks bob.

[Sheltiemama]

64. Jessie's a beauty.

And poses for the camera, I see.

[lizziegrace]

66. Sheltie's are the best dogs

:)

[Sheltiemama]

88. I totally agree.

I've had Shelties since 1979, with a few months between their passings. I'm just not happy without them.

[LT TX]

63. White Boy and Buster

Both were strays. White boy came up to my husband when he was stopped on the side of the road and Buster was hanging around my office. They are both wonderful pets. White boy (original name, huh?) is about 8-9 months, so I think he is going to be a large cat.

White Boy:


Buster:

[begin_within]

65. I love them both already

[LT TX]

67. Thank you! n/t

[NYC_SKP]

135. Do they post on DU much?

Or share an account/identity or write solo?

:hi:

[Ikonoklast]

68. Here's the entire pride

Hobbes, my son's 14 yr. old. All the other cats love him, he's like the grandpa of them all.


Marble, my son's ferocious female Tux. She thinks my son is her boyfriend.


Jeff the Cat. He loves everyone.


Mutt-Mutt, Jeff's littermate. He's a big softie.


Missy and Mu, our latest additions. Their momma is a feral that lives under our deck.

[SoxFan]

70. Mutt-Mutt looks a lot like my Pip

[begin_within]

72. I wish I could come over and love all of them right now

[SoxFan]

69. The Girls!

The Lovely and Talented Pippy Cat!


Brianna, Queen B!

[begin_within]

73. Both so beautiful

[Withywindle]

74. my wicked Madimi.

Your cat is awesome - if I ever have room to get a second, I'm biased towards black kitties.

[begin_within]

77. She's beautiful

and look at that balancing act

[Withywindle]

137. Aw, thanks!

(I say it because she won't)

She LOVES to climb that old futon frame. It was easier before she went so literally pear-shaped, but....

:loveya:

[redqueen]

75. My kitty...

[begin_within]

78. Great photo

I want to rub her neck

[redqueen]

87. She's wondering why I stopped petting her.

I was trying to get a pic of the top of her head. She has a neat little pattern there.

[seemunkee]

76. This thread needs more dogs

My big goofy Bean


and the little princess Luna

[SalmonChantedEvening]

82. Daisy hanging with her best pal, and former arch enemy.

My niece's stuffed kitteh. :rofl:

[Ladyhawk]

86. LOL...I posted my parrot's arch enemy before I saw this.

Very cute. My parrot still hates towels, except for the green one on his nest box.

[Ladyhawk]

84. Once again, my parrot:

Here he is fighting his arch-enemy: the Evil Blue Towel.

[begin_within]

90. That's cute!

[Ladyhawk]

95. Thanks! When I posted the pic, I gave him another towel to destroy.

He climbed down one of my hand towels to attack it. :)

[backwoodsbob]

92. little bear the wonder runt

she was the runt of a litter of BIG shepperds.The first three weeks or so we had to put all the other pups in a box so she could eat.

Now she runs the house.

and her miserable when she was a pup

[begin_within]

121. Many times the runt makes the best pet.

They are very loving. My cat was the runt.

[tabbycat31]

96. my Tabby

He's at my parents house right now because of my car trobule, and I won't see him until after the innaguration so I'm missing him right now. He's currently 15.



guarding my other pets, or if you ask Tabby his next meal

[begin_within]

119. I love that first picture.

Reminds me of how my cat often stays

[tabbycat31]

122. thanks

Tab is often posed in strange positions. I just have to remember to keep my camera on my bedstand.
I have a lot of cellphone pics of him but I dont have a cable to upload them to my computer

[begin_within]

125. My cat does this thing where he buries his head face down in the blanket

I don't see how he can breathe, but sometimes he just puts his whole face straight down, and all you can see are his ears and neck, and he sleeps like that.

[Mugu]

98. One of my sister's doggies.

He's getting old and jealous of the puppies that are being brought home.

Christmas day 2008.

Fall: "From my throne above Herr Fischer's garden, I survey my kingdom on an autumn evening."

Spring: "It's summer. Cut the grass already, ya lazy hippies!"

Smokie who loves to help me post

Sophie the goofball...

with good taste..

[begin_within]

127. They are beautiful. I would have a hard time telling them apart

but they are both beauties. That's so funny when they demand attention by simply sitting on your work.

[TZ]

128. yeah they are sisters.

and for a long time *I* couldn't tell them apart..now, its a bit easier..most of the time..:)
