OMG those pups are sooo cute! Of course I don't think I have ever seen an un-cute puppy.

Well we had a snow day today...so the girls were in all their glory running around the yard playing, rolling around in and eating the snow...it's fun to watch them try to catch snow flakes or try to decide which ones to chase...

Here they are playing tug o'war with their ball.

So true. Sometimes I think about how bad it is going to hit my wife and I when our little guy passes away, but then he pushes his little tennis ball at me and we play. He has given us so much, and I will always be thankful and grateful that he has been part of our little family.

Plushie or Fluffy can work! (Pluisje is the Dutch translation of the Harry Potter Cerberus-esque dog Fluffy, so that would link immediately.)

Ohhhh that bunny. Just wanna nuzzle noses with it. Cute Wilcosu. Can't wait for a name.

I lost a grey lop-eared rabbit last year. Ol' Roy. I rescued him from some unsavory folks when I lived in Chicago who were feeding him cat food and probably crack smoke. He weighed 1 and a 1/2 lbs and was about 70% bald. Got him back to health quick. Ended up 5 lbs (that's big for a coney) with a beautiful silver coat. He was fantastically litter trained and very trust worthy about chewing. His hutch door was never closed.
He lived out his days fat, happy , and hoppy. to the ripe age of 11 (really good for a rabbit) One of the best pets I've ever known. He passed happy and quietly of old age. I still want to do something romantic with his ashes, but every time I look at his lil' urn on the mantel, I just can't let him go.

But I have more friends too.

This is my BIG boy, Blaster!

To quote Han Solo, "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good BLASTER at yer side, kid."

when the lion lies with the lamb. My first daughter was under 5 lbs when she was born. Blaster weighs 15. I love this photo. It was their first meeting.

This is Sissy.

Compared to Blaster, she is a dainty little dame. I swear here paws are the size of nickles. What she lacks in size she makes up in F-youitude.
she has a neat back story. She is a Frank Loyd Wright barn cat. In Spring Green Wisconson is F.L.W's personal retreat and experimental homestead called Taliesin. It is now a museum and school. She came from a litter born in the barn there, from a friend who works there. She is as graceful as Wrights designs.

Great thread Shakijaki! It's nice to talk about things other than robots with you all.

I've been meaning to give this thread some attention all week, but it's been a bad week for foruming

Thanks for joining Cobro! Sorry to hear about Ol'Roy, but it sounds like you saved the little guys life! Way to tug on the ol' heart strings

Love the kitties, especially the pic with your wee one :lol:

Sorry. I was so cute drunk, I just glossed over that.

Wish there was a translation. What language is it? I'm guessing Slavic of sorts?

Bunny's are the best. Get ready to have your heart handed to you.

he's a little cutie, though still a bit shy. he's used to me now and since yesterday he dares to come out of his cage by himself

Well it would appear my vision is as bad as a rabbit's! :lol:

I dug up some pics of Roy. Here he is joining us for Thanksgiving dinner.

I have two dogs that I'll post up (edit this) later after work. And two tarantulas which, I wasn't sure people would want to see. I know there are a lot of arachnophobics out there.

I currently live in a 425 square foot studio with my wife. I love animals, but we don't really have room for pets. However, I have convinced my wife that we will, space permitting, have 2 cats one day.

Until then, behold! My former cat (who stayed with my folks when I moved to the city), Thai. RIP as of 2013:

Also, he got stuck in a bag one time:
