Ugly! But loved!

Let's see your pet.

Part of the crew in an old pic from my "horse days"

2 Queensland Heelers, Foxie and Marie.
Front and center is Ready, a Who Knows Terrier (Did somebody say "ugly"?).
These three and a couple of more could control a 150 horse herd without any problem, worked whenever asked, and never complained.
The black lump in the back was named Trash Can. She was very skilled at dumpster diving, sleeping, and getting stepped on.

Bless Their Souls.




If any of you want a picture of your pet(s) put up, feel free to send it to me and I'll add it to the thread.

Do me a favor ...
Give your "best friend " a hug tonight !
My Great Dane was taken by cancer 2 weeks ago. But "Shadow" will always be in my heart.

Luckyshadow, I have been there and have cried alot of tears over lost pets that are actually family members and friends more than they are animals, this is in my mind as well as theirs. My condolences.

It may cause another tear but the web page below is a favorite of mine.

Sure- but can any of them pull wire through crawl spaces for you?

Dern Joe, you describe your dog using the same three words my wife uses to describe me ... you been talking to her?

I, and my best friend, beg to differ. Correct that, I beg- cats never beg!




This is Motzie.

Re to a previous post...My dog's name is Holly as well as we found her right after Christmas 1994.

From NORCAL

Dog= bad. That's why we frownon 'dog-legs.'
Cat= good. The more the better. As in, Cat 6 is better than Cat 5.

Of course, Mice are a big help in pulling wire. Batwings are useful for hanging conduit and MC. Gorillas make something that also eases wire pulls.

We're not electricians...we're zookeepers!

It appears from a TV newscast today that somewhere in the midwest, a mad dog bit an AHJ Inspector. After being given anti-serum injections, vitamins and treatment for shock, the dog was allowed to go home.

Thanks Roger when my Dog "Holli" bouvier des flanders Passed away 2 summmers ago someone sent me the same poem.

And of course still miss her at times as She was with me for many hard years of trying to build a business.

Found: 1 Cat

This one forwarded via Joe Tedesco, with the Cat's name, Domino.
The member didn't include his own name, though.

Please Claim Your Cat!

There's a one eared cat across the highway from us (we think it's a brother to a stray we took in a few years back) that we have named Vincent.

Roger

This is Alex, he was adopted about 5 months ago , he is five. Still trying to teach him to fetch parts off the truck, every time I send him for some 1/4-20's he keeps bringing me 12-24's....

The one-eared cat is mine! She got skin cancer on her ear recently, common with white cats.

Oh yeah, she'll have a dog for breakfast.

Gideon.

Is Alex a Chesepeake(sp?) Retreiver??

We are not sure what Alex is, the people at the shelter said he was retreiver/something. He has a lab head, retreiver coat and an irish setter color. Its funny when my girlfriend walks him because they are both redheads, not the plastic type.

Chesepeake retreivers look alot like Alex, generally very strong swimmers and aggressive hunters. Good duck dogs

Is that why the Canada Goose looks a bit wary?
Alan

D*mn it Reno, your cat is violating the building code again! Do I have to write him a citation or what?

...cats these days......

:-) Ryan! Would you believe me if I told you she was the 'audible signalling device?'

From GFretwell]

Just remember with dogs, you are family, with cats you are just the hired help.

ok how do i post a pic of my girls ?????????????

Rhiphi, e-mail the pictures to the Webmaster or any of the moderators and they will post them for you.

Roger

Rhiphi's buds.

OK Joe,
Try and get 2 cats in the same place at the same time when you have a camera with you.
But here are my cats:



Minnie to the left (the mother cat) and Mickie (the young boy) to the right.
You might notice that there is a tree missing in the pic and a lot of saw-dust lying about.
I had just got rid of an old Cabbage Tree (no Alan, it doesn't grow cabbages).
It was threatening to fall on my house in the next best wind gust.
Somehow my cats love saw-dust and what did they do after they'd rolled around in the saw-dust?.
Like most cats, they went to bed, my bed as it happened, it took me 3 days to get rid of the saw-dust.

I hope you had the timber planked up and put in stick Mike, worth a good few dollars in 3 or 4 years. There's a rumour going round that you too have caught the 'woodworking bug'!

Alan,
Personally mate, Cabbage Tree wood is practically useless as a constructional timber.
It is too porous as a wood to do anything with.
It takes ages to dry and it suffers from serious shakes and buckling once it is dried out.
Oddly enough, the Maori's in New Zealand used to eat it in a soup.
The tree itself is hollow, but in the younger trees the core is soft, almost like cooked rice.
By the way, what's this about a "wood-working bug?"

Mike, a little birdie tole me you made a nice coffee table for your sister. That's how it starts mate, tingly nose, sneezing, then an urge to make a coffee table- next thing you know you're addicted to tool shops and are planning a workshop bigger than the house!
Cabbage-Tree wood sounds a bit like Elderberry, with a pith core and useless hollow trunk timber. You can make a cordial with the flowers but the fruit is only fit for birds and amateur wine making. I have so much timber planked up and in stick from windfalls I hardly know where to put it all- currently 2 large walnut trees, 2 cherrys, a chestnut, oak, alder, a scots pine, burr ash, sequoia, cedar, plus some laurel and box for turning.
JHC!! The RAF just buzzed the house at zero feet, 2 Jaguars and 2 Hercules! Either WWIII just started of there's a joint excercise on! I'm outa here!

Alan

Oops! Forgot something in thye e-Mail! The cat's name is Mikey, a male marmalade tabby (or Tiger, or something.) Also have a grey Tiger/Tabby. TYPO CORRECTION: "This isn't a dog, but he comes over to me every time he sees a wire, hears the word "wire," or, "electricity. This is him holding a piece of UF insulation that he was playing with, but, like most cats, he got bored, and went to sleep."
