That dog has such a sweet-natured face.

Yea, it looks like he's smiling a lot of the time

The mouth looks like he's smiling and his eyes and the rest of his face looks so at ease and happily comfortable in his own skin.

Here's Buddy enjoying the summer.

Great looking dog, and nice camera work too

My mother took those shots. Sometimes she's really good and sometimes she's really off. Buddy has grown up into a fine subject able to rescue most any shot, it seems. I thought he was plain as a puppy, but I think he's pretty handsome now. And that white mane is some kinda glorious, especially since they don't have to do any tricks like blow-drying it to make it look that way.

Im now really tempted to get another for Poppy, we had two springer sisters who kept each other company last time before they were poisoned and it worked a treat. We bring her buddy up almost every day to play and she has a proper smile on her face.

Her sister will be staying for a month in August and her owners have just told us they are getting a divorce. No idea what this means for the dog as i live in the middle of the Caribbean and neither of them are from here. I would jump with open arms to take her sister to be with her though, if not we will look in the States id imagine

Them together.

Heheh awesome pic! They look like they are having great fun.

Gizmo has been sick. He threw up all the contents of his stomach (3 giant puddles) then some bile. Then he drank and ate a bit. I let him eat hoping it would stay down. He threw that up. Then I got a bit of sleep (this was at 3 am). We were woken up by him throwing up a bunch of bile this morning. I'm about to take him to our vet, they open at 9 am, but I'm just... So worried.

Probably just ate something bad or has a stomach bug... I wouldn't be too worried. If he's real dehydrated from the lack of keeping anything down, the vet can give him some fluids.

Also, update on my cat Bolt (the anemic one that was given a few days to live 3 weeks ago).

I took her to the vet on Tuesday to get a blood test. Vet was surprised she was still alive and had so much energy. Turns out her hematocrite levels are up (not quite to completely regenerative levels)!

Bottom line is that we'd need another test to see if the levels are going up or down... if they're going up then she's regenerating RBCs on her own, if not, then it's only a matter of time. We won't take her back unless she looks sick because the damn blood tests are like 130$ for the complete chem analysis he always requests. But I'm actually quite optimistic now because she's been continuously improving..

Life #1 - gone...

8 more to go!

Good luck to both you and Snoopydance.

Yeah, good job all the fighters and cute pets itt.

I have cleaned up far too much bile/puke/regurgitation to last me a life time in both cats and dogs. They have a very "sensitive" stomach that is quite happy to throw it all back up again if it does not agree with them with enough goo on it to look like they missed a trick in Ghostbusters.

Hope it all turns out fine Snoopy

This is Buck. And he likes to F-eed on everything in sight, especially acorns and ants. We got him in late May, and he's about 4 months old now.







Attack of the killer ant! He attacks the ants and sometimes they bite him on the snout, and refuse to let go.

Cute fella. Great terminator eyes in the last pic. "He has no fear. He has no remorse. And he absolutely will not stop eating bugs."

Great looking lab

Realized on a trip to MN this weekend Ruxin is actually a cat

Today we took charge of our dogs sister for 5 weeks. we got her at midday and i can seriously say that now 11 hrs later is the first time they have stopped running around after each other. I managed to build a poker table, have dinner and a few glasses of wine in that time.

This could be a long 5 weeks

Underexposed kind

Been a while since I took pics

Category 4 Hurricane blowing outside, trees falling on the roof. Sure we will help out (another time)

Dexter snapped at the vet the other day... absolutely shocked us, because we've never seen a shred of aggression out of him. After we got home, my wife immediately went online and ordered one of these:



Poor guy looks like Hannibal Lecter!

Was he getting a stool sample collected or something?

Is that the cat with 8 lives left? Without that muzzle, it looks like he's trying to get rid of his 2nd one.

Our new cat (who isn't so new now, and is about 5 months old) eats anything. Like, ANYTHING. We had a bbq a couple weekends ago and a small bowl of chip crumbs was left out; gone the next morning. Couple days ago we had pizza and walk into the kitchen to find him on the floor gnawing on a full piece he had grabbed from the counter. He had also taken the toppings off two pieces that were still on the counter. Oddly, we haven't noticed any digestion issues, but it still can't be good for him.

Relationship with our old cat is tepid at best. He (the kitten) has given her enough hell that she growls and gets agitated whenever he gets too close to her, even if he's not in attack-everything-that-moves mode (which is most of the time). It's not constant hissing and fighting anymore, though, which is nice.
