Pets, Photos and such Options

My parents recently unearthed this picture and sent me a copy, so I thought we could share pictures of our pets and maybe share any amusing stories about them. This little guy was caled Ollie. We took him in after a family over the road got him from a rescue centre and they said he wasn't getting along well with the dog they already had. He came with his name and it seemed kinda cruel to change it since he knew what it was.

He also came with a huge appetite. While at the house of a family friend, he decided to jump up on the table when no one was looking and dispose of a plate of sausage rolls and most of a victoria sponge cake. He was noticably fatter... you could actually see that he was fatter... and threw up about 5 minutes later because his body just wasn't designed to take that much food.

Shame he came down with a cancerous tumor in the end... he was only 8 and since he was in such good health (he'd still got as much energy as he had the day we got him aged 2) other than that, I reckon he'd have hit 11-12 no problem.

Oh Kayla - I think he is the most precious looking little kitten I've ever seen! Even cuter than my sisters grey tabby, Sir Jeffrey.

Well, here is one of our smartest and best pets that we ever had (and we've had 15 dobermans at different times who are smart as whip dogs but this little handful actually had them beat streetsmarts-wise) Actually this is a pic from Google cause I have pictures of Blujie on my hand but cannot scan them in right now:



She fell out of a nest one spring near our birdfeeder cedar tree and we waited all day as her parent flock frantically tried to feed her and get her higher on the branches of a bush. Around sunset my hubby said "It's either the cats tonight or us." So we went out and caught her and she lived for four years in a golden cage (door always open) in our music studio. She grew up thinking she was people, that us two were her flock and even ate what we ate rather than birdseed and consequently was a bit smaller than this picture. She even ate fried chicken (uggh ... cannibal bird) but chinese rice was her favorite food.

Her grave is in a beautiful wood carved chest below the cedartree with a bluejay pinwheel spike in the ground and I also have a resin bluejay in front of my powderroom mirror in her honor. Gone but never forgotten, Blujie
