Clementine & her poodle friend are too impossibly cute!

what is it with cats getting in cobwebs & then just wearing them like some fashion statement? :lol:

The critter's finally growing some of his shaved fur back.

I just adopted these two cats from a local shelter on Wednesday. I have never had cats before.. they're awesome! :)

Jeff, she's a beautiful kitty cat... and oberon your two rescues are adorable - they have such pretty coloring...

Wow!! Tropicdiver!! That is the CUTEST photo i've ever seen!! :D

Sweetpea

Bernadette!! I LOVE your dogs, they are so gorgeous!! :D

Sweetpea

I'm so proud of you for adopting!! You're a great person for making that difference in those kitties' lives!! :icare: And they are very adorable!!

Sweetpea

very cute kitties, oberon!

cats are indeed awesome, once you have them, it's really hard to imagine not having them ;)

I've always had and cared for dogs and horses (for about 15 years). My family used to have cats, but we had to stop getting them because they would always get eaten by carnivores nearby (especially coyotes). Farm life in our area is rough on smaller pets. But we did rescue eight dogs over that timespan, four of which lived to be 16-18 or so before they eventually died. Two of those four were abused by previous owners and had permanent injuries.. but still lived a good long life and were extremely loyal to us, especially my mother. I wanted to continue that tradition with cats.

So when I moved to Boulder I made sure to get a pet friendly apartment. Then I went out to get two cute kitties from a shelter... because I felt that a dog would be unhappy in an apartment, especially since I work 8x5 and am the only human resident. For that reason I got two instead of just one.

The calico (or tortie/white mix) is 1yr, female, & her name is Lyra. The tiger tabby (or brown tabby/white mix) is 2yr, female, & her name is Star. I picked names from cosmic objects as per my fascination. And yes I love the colors. :)

Star had kittens and she was at the shelter for over two months, apparently. I dunno why no one else adopted her.. she's really friendly! Lyra was only there about 12 days. She's been harder to coax. I hope with time she'll come out of her shell and be like the cat I met before adopting.

I just love the color debates that go on at shelters. I used to work there, and people were always confused (including us employees) about what all the colors were. :D

I'm gonna adopt a new doggy soon, since i'm moving back in with the rents and they just gave one of their dogs to my brother (they have a max limit of two little dogs and two big dogs :p ). I'll post pictures ASAP.

A couple of animals I've recently saved from death-by-cat.

Am I great or what?

^^ Yes you are :D

Say.. what is a thrush? My dictionary's got nothing :(

Look! I'm feeding it chewed up nuts. Probably a mistake on my part because it kept coming back every couple of days for weeks after.

I could be wrong, but I think this one is a Song Thrush.

aww, hedgehogs are cute!

Oh it's a bird! I see it now :lol:

My loves
 

Tsunami & Majesty

WOW, beautiful kitties, especially the one on the right! Ilove that patchy siamese look, and fluffy is ALWAY in with me. ;)

oh gosh!! cute cute cute kitties!! :D

Sweetpea

You are my hero :icare: :thumbsup: It's small acts of kindess like this that go far in the world!

Sweetpea

She'll get used to you. The kitty we rescued was always fairly friendly, but didn't start cuddling with us for a bit.

again, kudos for carrying on the tradition of making a difference! The world needs more people like you :icare:

Sweetpea

This is my radar dish. It's a little hairy in this picture, but has been shaved down recently.

Patches the Wonder Dog after some minor surgery last year.

Hey nice one Dano.

One time I got mixed up with a lampshade during a party and looked alot like ol' patches... :D

LOL...yeah, I think a LOT of us have gone that route.
:D :D

Awwww, poor little guy! He's super cute!!! :thumbsup: But i'm a dog lover, so i'm totally biased! :D

My Buddy
 

Here's my "Buddy". He's a 5 yr old silver Toy Poodle. I bought him from a breeder in Central Texas. You can find her online at http://www.poodles.net.

Buddy @ 13 Weeks
 

Here's a couple more shots of my poodle - Buddy. He's a silver toy, born in 2000 making him 5yrs old. One is of him setting on top of a bucket and a towel, and the other is of him and I.

Buddy - aka - Patrick's East Texas Playboy
 

Here's a few more shots of Buddy in various poses. I get a lot of suprised reactions when people fidn I own a poodle, But, they're great dogs, smart, don't shed, don't eat much, and just want to be near their owner.

My aunt and uncle used to breed poodles for a living. They're one of the most intelligent dog breeds I've encountered.

Jeez Bernadette.. your dogs are scenic!

I've always had such a difficult time taking a photo of my poodle because she is so darn black. It's hard to get any contrast and see much in the way of features. I took her outside in the bright sunlight (wanted to try out my new B&W ND filter), today, and had some luck. :cool:
