I used to be very anti cat (grew up w dogs), but I wanted something furry and the fish weren't doing it for me anymore Wink

Spunky was my husband's birthday present when he was 12 .. (she's 14 now, total bitch), Aggie is a hurricane katrina rescue (v. shy, skittish, but totally loveable), and Poe is our newest adoption (this is what happens when you volunteer at a shelter Tongue

... she is funny and TOTALLY naughty!

Casanova - He's not our horse but my daughter loves to visit him and go riding. After riding we have to basically strip down and bag all the clothes and shoes before getting in the van and then we have to take showers as soon as we walk in the door - other wise my youngest reacts big time!

That is so cool. My house would be full of animals if there weren't allergies. I volunteered in a shelter in Converse Texas for the summer back in 1989 - I fell in love with all of the animals there and wanted to keep each and every one of them.

These aren't mine, but since I'm the resident photographer in the neighborhood I get asked to take photos a bunch: Here's an 8 week old Boston Terrier named Angel

Your cats are so adorable Tricia! DD keeps asking me when we're getting a cat now that we have our puppy.

Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson

Thank you! I use a AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm for most of this type of photography. It's a great general purpose lens! I shoot with a Nikon D70.

Very nice. That's pretty comparable to my Canon 10D and 20D. That lens is wonderful for those wider-angle close-ups, too! Big grin

This is when we just got Daisy, she could not be trusted off leash yet. Now she's very good.

I notice that when I pass dogs like yours around my neighborhood my pace during that quarter mile is pretty fast... Blush

Our first ferret Bud (as in a flower bud), she's no longer with us....well, unless you count how she's buried in the back yard ( beyond the fence and 3 feet down). Undecided
