Another beauty! :mrgreen: That definitely looks like he runs the show LOL!

He's really a beauty. Very nice pics.
BTW do you know the best about cats?
You can't make them to do any useful things. They just do what they want to do.

the monster as a puppy

Awwwww, what a cutie!

What a beautiful cat! I think all cats believe they are the most beautiful and wonderful cat ever!

Yes!!! A Monster Cutie!!!!

Have you seen Dwina's showing of some of her favorite pets :P :P in the gallery !?!

I just saw Dwina's pic! :mrgreen: So adorable! Though I still don't know which one is Paddy and which one is Kerry! :lol:

I totally agree, Lori. Two beauties but who is who?!?

I believe that Kerry ( the lighter coat) is in the front and Paddy (with a bit darker coat) is in the back. When they are standing together Paddy is slightly larger than Kerry.

Thank you Cricket! :mrgreen:

Yes thank you Cricket for this information. I will try to keep in my mind but i'm quiet sure that it won't stay there for a very long time.

If I could have dogs right now, these would be mine......
I spent an amazing 3 days volunteering with the dogs at an animal sanctuary. These are two of the dogs we had for sleepovers in our hotel.

GINNY
She is just over a year old, and has recently been returned to the sanctuary. At first she was really nervous and skiddish, but Ginny got over that really fast, and turned into one of the cuddliest and most affectionate dogs I have ever seen.


MASON
Mason is 8 years old, and has been at the sanctuary for 6 years. It absolutely boggles my mind that such a sweet, wonderful, and extremely well behaved dog has not found a home!


I hope that my life circumstances will change soon, so that I can finally get dogs. If either one of them is still available when I get to that point they will be mine. Please keep your fingers crossed that I can get "my" dogs soon.

And Suz, what about your new job?! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I can bring my pets to work

I hope that will happen for you Suzanne...I cannot imagine my life without dogs in it.....if both are still available how would you choose? Or could you get both?

That would be really, really hard! I hope that I would be able to take both should that happen. If I couldn't, I would probably choose Mason just because he has been there so long.

You are so sweet, Susanne. If I had the chioce between the two I couldn't decide either.
I will keep my fingers crossed that everything changes the way you prefer.

Whomever you may end up with...whether it be Ginny or Mason or both....or perhaps another homeless dog in need of some love and attention they will be very lucky to call you their caregiver and friend.

Thank you guys! You are very kind. I can't wait to get my dog(s)! Life will be so much better!

You have to take a look at this.
I found two videos and I promise you every cat-caregiver will know about these situations.

I don't have a cat but I do enjoy watching my neighbor's cat's antics. Those are priceless!!

Arrival of new "pets :shock: !"



Hummmmmmmer ! &&&&&&



Usually Bluebirds, this year swallows, maybe I can get a better picture when they emerge !

WELCOME HOME COCOA

Cocoa was our third sleepover dog at the animal sanctuary we volunteered at about a month ago.



Her story is a really bizarre one. She was a Katrina rescue dog, and has been at the sanctuary since. A few months back a family called and claimed she was their dog, and that they had had her since she was a puppy for 8 years. Due to circumstances (new baby and new dog), they would only be able to keep her outside. However nobody ever came to check on her, or make arrangements to take her home.

One weird thing is the fact that everyone who has seen her at the sanctuary (including the vets) is convinced that she cannot be more than 5 years old (most definitely not 10). Plus, the family only identified her from a picture. I honestly believe that she cannot possibly be their dog. But whatever the case may be, the family has finally agreed to give up the rights to her so she can be adopted into a good home.

I am very excited to say that she will be my friend's newest addition to the household, which already includes two Chow mixes. Cocoa is scheduled to arrive on Saturday. I am flying out to Jersey to help introduce her to the other two dogs and get her settled in. I can't wait! She is such a wonderful and sweet dog!

Now if I can only figure out a way to adopt Mason and Ginny (see earlier post).

Awwwww, rock on Suz!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Bethany, how are your birdies?

Wonderful story about Cocoa :P , Susanne !!!

And, Lori, the birdies are soaked, lots of rain here! I am going to try and get a pic when they start to leave the nest :lol: :lol: :lol: !

That's a really weird story about Cocoa but I'm sure your friend will give her the home she always dreamed of :lol: :lol: :lol:
I still will keep my fingers crossed for Mason and Ginny

I have a feeling Cocoa will be very happy with my friend. She is as crazy about dogs as I am (if that is possible )


Thank you! That is very sweet of you!

If Mason and/ or Ginny are no longer available when I can get my dogs it would mean they have found there forever homes with good owners. It would be bittersweet. But in the end the most important thing is that they are happy. The people at the sanctuary are really nice about keeping me posted when I ask about the dogs. Such a lovely place!
