| I'm in and out in a very few mins. (been a long, long day) but I am taking nutmeg's (Michele's) advice and starting a thread that doesn't hijack Frank's (or push us over the edge on the discussion side) so we can brag on our pets! Go for it--I want to see all your pets! I'll post more pix of dogs and Ragdoll kitty when I can!! |

| Oh, Dan--*Crash* is adorable as a pup and an adult!!! Love his face--his eyes are adoring, obvious of the one behind the camera!!! I am not able to post pix yet! My computer has SERIOUS issues we are trying to resolve. We're thinking I have a trojan buried deeply and is preventing upgraded virus programs from downloading and scanning! Sigh! Right now I'm using hubby's laptop! Michele--we're waiting to see your *other* loves, too! :o) janice |

| Heard a mewling coming from the ditch several years ago. Found a tiny, terrified Manx kitten. He would peek at me from under large hosta leaves and want to play. It took about two weeks to get him touchable. "Munch" isn't so little anymore. This is Munch, post-catnip. (Does anyone ELSE hear The Grateful Dead playing? lol)  "Pris" was a feral kitten we fed outside. Coaxed her inside one cold, winter day with food, and when the door closed behind her she freaked out. She went on to live in the basement for several months, exclusively. Only saw her when I used a flashlight behind the furnace...you'd see two terrified eyes. THANKFULLY, she used the litter box from day one. Since the cat food bowls sit right next to the door to the basement, I made a new rule. If she wants to eat, she'll have to come up to the top of those steps and eat with Munch. (He just wanted to play with her, nonagressive.) She would grab a mouthful of food and fly back downstairs, food falling out of her mouth the entire way. Almost two years later, she's probably as normal as she will ever get. She's completely touchable and plays and purrs, but you can only pick her up for 10 seconds, max. (At first, the efforts resulted in her screaming like she was being skinned alive. Now, just a mild whimper, lol.) I did manage to get her into a cat carrier to be spayed. The vet said he did NOT have a good time. I would have liked to have seen him get her out of that carrier.  Munch lets everyone know that she is his property.  He isn't kidding around.  Munch doesn't know how much more of this hot weather he'll be able to take...sigh.  |

| here is a combination of two pictures to show my aquarium, there are to vastly different lights in the tank, so that explains the contrast.. I have a lot of Clown Loachs in the tank..but they often hide as is the case with this picture. On the left are 6 big silver dollars i have had for years. there are some big fancy Plecostomus (hiding as well). leaning against the back are BIG pieces of flagstone, I drilled and made the holes in them for the fish to go through. I udsed to keep a lot of African Cichlids, and they love the rock, and the ph of the stone. The tank is 2 feet tall 8 feet long, and 2 feet front to back.. It is right at 240 gallons.

| Meet Choco! (pron. CHAW-ko) He's a 3 1/2 month old Papillon. He's about 6 lbs and if he gets to be as big as his mom, he'll top out at 14 lbs... a bit big for a Papillon. Very smart... knows about 10 commands already. Not a yipper, but an "alerter". Pretty much fully potty trained, but he's not fully trust-able yet. He chews on things he's not supposed to... a bit of a challenge when you have a 5 year old girl with Barbies, My Little Ponies and fairy costumes! To my surprise, yesterday with 17 strangers and 3 folks he has only met once, he really only barked at the first guests and he didn't jump up on anyone after Paul (whom he'd met before). I'd like to get another Papillon too. We'd adopted Choco's littermate, Chip, but he was a little too aggressive and over-active for our family, so he went back to the breeder after 12 days. Choco is a perfect fit!

Bianca the Bunny Hunter 
Bianca takes her work seriously, stalking bunnies, looking out of the windows while in the house and demanding to go outside if she sees one. While outside she places herself in a strategic position where she can see all of the gardens and will immediately spring into action when confronted with any small furry brown movement. She's not available for rental. Sorry. Steve |

| Beautiful dogs. And I love the cat next to the bowl. Needs a caption - 'I can't believe I ate the whole thing." |

| Some seriously photogenic dogs in this last group! Melissa, VERY cute dog. Steve, it's great your dog controls the rabbits. Mine hasn't caught any yet and seems more preoccupied with the squirrels :) cyn427, Clouseau is a really attractive mix. I think if I saw him I would have brought him home too. Great looking dog!

| Here is my youngest rescue girl, Ladybug. She is a 3 y/o Miniature Schnauzer. She came into my rescue two years ago on the 4th of July and we bonded like super glue. She is just mama's baby! |

 My companion Amber. I have to work on photographing my aquariums. My favorite fish are of the Neolamprologus Pulcher complex that are called Fairy Cichlids from Lake Tanganyika, Neolamprologus 'Helianthus'. Love your aquarium Leafwatcher: which African, Malawi or Tanganyika? My Julidochromis transcriptus "Pemba" would love your caves. Les |
