IMG]

[Mutley]

3. Pretty kitties!

Look at Zephyr hidin' back there.

[Haole Girl]

5. Yeah, he's a nut...always trying to hide! nt

[barb162]

9. oh she looks like 14 pounds

very pretty cat!

[Haole Girl]

27. Thanks

Yes, she looks big, but she is only 11 lbs. The rest is all fur!! She is the incredible shedding fur machine!!

[barb162]

40. It's amazing how much they can shed. I have a longhair male

who looks very similar to yours. Until October or so, they seem to do nothing else but shed

[IsIt1984Yet]

2. Your pup's pretty! Here's Cooky:

[Mutley]

4. Thanks. Cooky is beautiful.

:D

[blonndee]

35. Ooh a pitty pup!

I love Cooky! What a beautiful dog.

[IsIt1984Yet]

45. I just fell in love with your white one... and that big hunka love GD

All 3 of yours are gorgeous!!

:loveya:

[smokey nj]

6. I don't know how to post pictures but I will provide you with the.......

names and ages of my kitty babies.

Willie is 20
Screech and Skid (the twins) are 9
Cosmo is almost 6
Milo is 4
the baby, Peanut is 3

As soon as I'm no longer afraid of technology and the computer machine, pictures will be provided.

[Mutley]

7. I can tell you how.

Go to www.photobucket.com and sign up with them. It's free.

Once you get that, hit the "browse" button to choose a photo from your computer, and then hit "submit."

After the photo is uploaded, highlight the text box under the photo that says "URL", right click and select copy.

When you get to the "post" screen in DU just right click again and hit "paste." Then "post message."

Hopefully that'll do ya. :hi:

[smokey nj]

57. Thanks for the help mutley. I only had pictures of 4 of the babies

here they are.

[smokey nj]

58. I'm sorry the pictures are so big............

I scanned photos, and I didn't think they would show up that large. I also apologize for the quality, I'm perhaps the worst photographer in the world. Again, my apologies to everyone at DU.

[Mutley]

60. No, that's cool.

If you have a photo editing program there should be an option to change the size of the pictures. I usually use around 400x600 pixels. Or around there, anyway.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

77. Photobucket has a feature that lets you shrink your pics, under "edit".

It has 2 choices, 50% and 25% I believe, with pics that big, go with 25% first and see what it looks like.

You can click on the pic to see what the actual size will be.

[smokey nj]

81. Thanks, I'll give it a try,......

I'm a bit of a techno-phobe, so I don't like to mess around with things too much. I subconsciously fear that there is a secret button hidden in every website that will cause my computer to self destruct.

[Mutley]

83. Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

Oops. :D

[smokey nj]

90. I deleted them, they were still really big.

Sorry.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Okay...

Jessie and Merlin:



And the new kitten we just picked up for Poppy today... Meet Licorice:

[Mutley]

10. Beautiful!

And that kitten is So precious. :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. She has become quite attached to my daughter in 12 short hours...

She comes mewling up to her, kneading the ground, when my daughter walks in the room. :hi: Your puppies are so sweet.

[Mutley]

15. Aww. I love kittens.

:D

And thank you. :)

[blonndee]

53. Aw, totally kissable faces.

I love your kitty, but I really love little Jessie's face. Something about that collie blaze just makes me melt! Mwah!

[Heidi]

11. Your dog family is beautiful! Here is

The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger. :hi:

[Mutley]

13. I always love seein' pictures of Ginger, Heidi.

He's such a beautiful boy. :hi:

[Heidi]

24. Alas, though, Mutley, Ginger has become quite the macho cat

in the past couple of months. Our neighbor's male cat has been hanging around our place, and Ginger feels he has no choice but to stalk him throughout the night and howl/hiss at his every move. :eyes:

:hug:

[Mutley]

26. Ha! He's protecting you and CMW.

:D

:hug:

[Heidi]

31. Yeah, sometimes he comes to bed with this expression on his face

that says, "Geez, do I have to do _all_ the work around here?"

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. We had a boy cat named Sweetie...

He ended up being a 25 pound tiger striped Tomcat, with the biggest head I've ever seen on a cat. :hi:

[Heidi]

28. Hi, MrsGrumpy!

:hi:

Ginger won't get to 25 pounds. When he was about two years old, his vet politely took me aside and whispered, "Ginger is getting a little 'on the limit'. No more people food for him." He's not exactly lean and mean, but I don't want another lecture from the vet. :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. Hehehe...our vet tried that on us with Merlin (Sweetie's brother who

tops out at 28 lbs)...

We wiggled out by telling him that he belonged to my father in law, who let him eat people food. And we weren't fibbing. Try as we might, with all the trimming food in the world, we can't get him to lose weight. He's very healthy though. :rofl:

[blonndee]

37. Wow, what a gorgeous cat!

He's a stunner.

[Heidi]

43. Thank you, blonndee!

If you ever happen to visit us, don't wear a skirt, especially if you have lotion on your legs. Ginger has a "thing" for licking women's legs, and he finds lotion quite tasty. :hi:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

79. That is one fine looking cat, with a mischevious expression.

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Lucy

:loveya:

[Mutley]

18. She's so Purty!

That picture of her washing your beard is too cute for words. :loveya:

[Haole Girl]

20. OMG, is that cat licking your beard?

:rofl:

[u4ic]

22. Awww...is she licking your beard?

My bird used to love preening my eyelashes. I trusted him to do it. He never ever hurt me. :-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. She is

I still don't know if she's being affectionate or she's following some grooming instinct, but she does it all the time.

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. She looks just like the new kitten, Licorice, that we gave my father

today:

[Heidi]

34. I lovelovelovelove Lucy!

Oedi, she's just gorgeous, and she looks like she weighs hardly anything. Thank you for posting these photos of her. Lucy's definitely one of DU's most beautiful cats! :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

52. Okay, I'm beaming

She's goin', "Yeah...? Well, she's right."



Oh... she also says, "Tell her I weigh 8.2 pounds and it's very well distributed."



Yup... that's my cat, all right. :eyes:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

106. We love Lucy!

Beard-licking...... :rofl::rofl:

;)

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Rogue is beautiful!

What a happy friend he is! Lucky you! :pals: :hi:



And here's mine...

Seneca!

[Mutley]

21. Aww, Seneca is beautiful.

:hi:

Thanks. :D

[Whoa_Nelly]

30. Thanks! She's a rescue dog

Have known her for almost a year, but adopted her a month ago. (She was being kept for me in another state.)

We're doing great! :hi:

Seneca at home

[Mutley]

39. Yay! A Rescue.

She's lookin' happy. :D

[Whoa_Nelly]

47. And already spoiled rotten!

As she should be! :D

She deserves it...she's a real sweetheart. She's 10, and am making sure she has the best for the life she has remaining..hopefully, 5-8 years more ;)

[blonndee]

41. I love Seneca's happy face! He reminds me

of my Jimmy boy. Is Seneca part border collie?

[Whoa_Nelly]

61. Thanks, blonndee!

Do you have a pic of Jimmy boy? Would love to see him!


and...Yes, Seneca is a Border Collie mix. Unfortunately, a previous, and mean, owner purposely cut her tail mid-joint.

Now, she's happy, and am going to make sure she stays that way for the rest of her life :)


Seneca, acting like the cool dog she is..all over a new bed :D




on edit: Note to self...Use SpellCheck!

[blonndee]

64. Oh, I'm sorry about that

and sorry I called her a "he." Interestingly enough, someone did that to my Jimmy (who is a BC mix, too)! He has a tail that's about 5-6" long! Not like a Rottie stub, but a tiny short little tail. Poor little guy, but I laugh at him all the time because he literally stands on his head when he's happy and wags his little tail at me. I call it his little goat tail.

I so wish I knew his history, although he seems VERY happy now. As does Seneca, I'm sure!!

edited: to clarify that my Jimmy is a BC mix

[blonndee]

17. Ooh, now you got me started.

Frankie (aka Frances Lynn):



Eddie:



Jimmy:

[Mutley]

23. Aww, they are so precious!

I love Frankie's big black nose. :loveya:

[blonndee]

29. Thank y ou!

It's kind of the camera angle, but she DOES have a big black nose! :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. Jimmy has such a happy face...I can "feel" the smile!

Adorable doggies! :hi:

[IsIt1984Yet]

48. OMG, I am in love!! I love their names, too!

:D

[blonndee]

51. LOL thanks! I always say they sound like part of a bridge club: Frances,

Edward, and Jimmy. :) Although Frances is the only one I named--Eddie and Jimmy had names at the shelter. Frances did too, but she was a puppy so I felt like it was "okay" to rename her. LOL

[blonndee]

32. I love his big old ears!

What a cutie pie.

[Mutley]

42. Thanks.

:D

[reyd reid reed]

36. Twist my arm....

Waggles...she's literary and likes to play fetch. Thinks she's a dog:



Then there's Cookie...Psycho Kitty, Jr. She's the spitting image of her mother. In every way. A more insane cat doesn't exist, but she worships the ground my youngest son walks on:



Velvet, who has the tiniest little meow. The only one of them that wears a bell because otherwise, she's so quiet it's scary:



Patches is eighteen years old. Older all but my oldest son and going through baby withdrawal. She got so used to them when the kids were little and I was doing daycare that now I have to keep a baby blanket handy for her to sleep on:

[Mutley]

44. Yeah, it's such a hardship posting pictures of our furry babies, isn't

it?

Your kitties are beautiful. Is Cookie a tortie?

[reyd reid reed]

49. I'm tellin' ya,

it's Torture.

Yup, Cookie's a tortie and the strangest kitty I've ever had. She has a passionate crush on Waggles and is constantly in her face.

Literally.

[Mutley]

50. I think torties are all crazy.

My parents' have a tortie called Funky, and she's the weirdest cat I've ever met.

[Madrone]

54. Part of my crew -

OTHELLO





IAGO





NESHAMEH





BODHI



Missing:

Poncho the Cockateil
Jr. the Sugar Glider
and
Jekyll, Heidi, and Spencer the ferrets

[blonndee]

55. They're all gorgeous

but I think Othello is my fave. He reminds me of a kitty I used to have named Ivy. But ALL your crew is just beautiful.

[Madrone]

59. He was my first cat EVER. First pet as an adult.

Sadly, he is renal failure so although he's doing well it's only a matter of time. :cry:

I've seen a number of pictures of kitties that look just like him as well .... it's kinda weird!

[Mutley]

56. What beautiful fuzzies!

How does the doggie get along with everyone else?

[Madrone]

63. My dog luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrves kitties with all of his being.

He's still having trouble understanding why the feeling's not ever quite mutual. ;)

He's great. He respects the cats, and knows that Iago is the only one that will let him get some licks in with a minimum of protest so he usually confines his affection to that cat.

He loves chasing the ferrets all over the house - he gets ferret obsessed sometimes during those moments. Mainly I worry he'll step on one - not that he'll ever hurt one purposely. Once he cornered one of the ferrets and next thing I knew he lifted his head up and had a ferret dangling from his lip. He was very slow and deliberate in movement and completely at a loss for what to do about having a ferret attached to his face. :rofl: He never retaliated or got more "wound up" - which I was briefly afraid would happen. He likes being a tattletale - he noticed me yelling at the ferts once for flinging their litter out of the box and around their cage - now anytime they do it he launches into loud barking at the ferret - then runs and "tells" me they're being bad before running back to bark at them some more.

The bird he pretty much ignores (it's not tame, so it doesn't come out of it's cage really) although when Poncho flew out of his cage once and I had to go find gloves to pick him up in another room the dog watched him intently but never moved. He also poked Poncho in the chest with his nose once, when he (Poncho) was perched in the door to his cage when I opened it to refill his water. Just a light poke.

He likes watching the sugar glider - but since gliders are nocturnal there's not much opportunity for interspecies bonding there.

[Heidi]

62. You named a ferret after me?

;)

Your family is lovely, Madrone. :hug:

[Madrone]

65. This is funny, because I thought of YOU when I posted her name.

:D

Jekyll and Heidi are littermates, given to me by someone that didn't want them anymore - and who later became a friend. I guess he originally named them Jekyll and Hyde .... except Hyde ended up being a girl. Spencer was given to me by the same person, who found him alone in a pet store and just couldn't leave him there. Spencer is the last name of the man I got them all from - and I knew he'd be very touched by getting the ferret named after him.

[Heidi]

66. What a coinky-dink!

I turned out to be a girl, too. :rofl:

And I _love_ that you named the other one Jekyll. :thumbsup: We have kois named Trotsky, Bob Dylan, Shamu, Winky, Pflotch and Jumpy. :P

[coyote]

67. Here's Ted

[blonndee]

68. LOL!

I see you're another one of us pet freaks! How cute!

[Mutley]

72. Look at that cat!

That's fantastic. :thumbsup:

[Roon]

111. It's a smoosh face!!

I love smoosh faces! :o

[NV Whino]

69. Boston

I have finally been approved as a proper kitty mom and will have two new kittens next week. Gawd, I had to fill out a 3-page application with personal references, my vet and promise I wouldn't allow the coyotes to eat them.

[Mutley]

70. Aww, how pretty!

Such beautiful eyes.

Yeah, it can be easier to get a job than to adopt a pet from a shelter, can't it? ;)

But it's all for the good.

[In_The_Wind]

71. Miss Frodo

[Mutley]

73. Joani, what a beautiful bird!

I love those guys, but I've always been afraid I wouldn't be able to properly take care of one. I've been told they're higher maintenance than a dog.

[In_The_Wind]

74. Thank you, mutley. She is worth every bit of care I give her.

You were told correctly. They are more sensitive to toxins and climate than other pets. I almost lost her a few years ago to a respiratory infection. I worry more about conditions for her than I do for myself. That's why she stayed home this summer but she will be with me in South Florida this winter. I just have to find the perfect place to rent. :)

[Mutley]

75. You're in Florida now, right?

How's that going?

[In_The_Wind]

94. The local breakfast special is Grits & Grunts.

I'm loving it! I also have more new ink.

[u4ic]

98. I was hoping to see Frodo!

She is a beaut! :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

100. I'll be cuddlin' with my featherhead in about two weeks.

I really miss her!

:hi: :loveya:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

76. Here's some of them:

Elijah


Elijah and Hanako (when Hanako was a pup)


Keegan the puppy


There are others.

[Mutley]

78. I just love your dogs. They are so cute.

That doggie life-vest is adorable. :D

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

80. Thank you. He's a regular salty Jack Tar, he is!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

82. Rogue is a cutie pie, how old?

[Mutley]

84. She turned three in March.

Thanks. :)

[auntAgonist]

85. Rogue ..

My Rogue:



My Rogue and his little pal (partner in crime) Rascal



King of the castle, Blackie



Finally, the keeper of hearth and home; Tarn

[billyskank]

86. Tarn looks adorable!

:loveya:

[auntAgonist]

91. He's a big baby, but ..

I have no doubt if when we're out walking late at night, someone should try to harm me, Tarn would do his utmost to protect me. He is adorable and very sweet by nature.


aA
:hug:

[Mutley]

88. They're all so pretty.

That's too funny that you have a Rogue, too. :D

Tarn is awesome!

[auntAgonist]

92. I got Rogue from the local no kill shelter when he was only

just a tiny little thing. Someone had found him in the engine compartment of their Chevy pick up truck after having driven with him there for a few miles. Luckily he was unscathed. The people at the shelter named him Chevy, I thought he looked and acted more like a 'rogue' to me. Hence the name.
He's a huge cat, all fur, all PURR and very loving.

[RoyGBiv]

108. Old Pete

Petey passed over the Rainbow Bridge on 07/07/06

This is him in his favorite sleeping spot, taken a couple weeks before he died.



I don't know if I believe in fate or whatever, but the next day, while a co-worker was coming to work, he saw a little, white kitten trying to cross 23rd St in OKC near downtown. It would have been a suicide mission. He decided to stop and pick the little guy up, not really knowing what to do with him, but knowing he couldn't just let him die in traffic like that. He knew about my Pete, and seeing how distraught I was at work that day, he thought he'd ask me if I wanted to take care of him. Just a little guy in need of a home.

I don't feel exactly right about taking on a new friend so soon after Petey left my life, but maybe it's what Petey wants. He was a stray at one point himself, and his having been out on the street so long before he found me was basically what killed him (feline leukemia that took two years to present itself).

So, here's little guy, whom I'm not going to ask about his name until I take him to the vet tomorrow to find out if he's healthy.

[driver8]

109. Good for you for giving that little guy a home...

I think Pete would approve.

We had to put our Border Collie, Cody, down last summer. It tore me up even though I knew it was the right thing to do.

Two weeks later we adopted Buddy from our local shelter. He needed a home and we needed him.

Keep us posted.
