and her little dogs, too... This is the puppy, Boo. More to come!

JaySee · 01-07-2005, 01:49 AM

This is Boo Boo - she keeps me fit.

A normal amount of exercise (as an alcoholic must be careful not to go mad) keeps me fit in mind and body .... well ....sort of :elephant

They are so cute !Sorry to say the oictures of my cat's are still in the camera! Sammy Gato and Oreo.I love um!

My old girl Muffin.
A collie cross.
This is her ten years ago. She's a "senior" now

Don W · 01-07-2005, 07:03 PM

They are all so cute. I can read Muffins mind. " And they think this is their bed." I'll post about our dog MacKenzie later. She was rescued from the streets of Porto Rico, by a group called " Save a Sato", they have a web sight you might want to check out. We've had her 3 years and she's still not fond of the snow. Before taking her out it's like dressing a kid. I put her coat on, then we have boots to keep her legs from cramping from the cold. Then she has poor eye sight, so we had to get "Doggles"
( sun glasses for dogs) so the sun and snow won't further damage them. I must look as crazy as I feel walking down the street, and sober to boot. Don W

This is Shadow. Rescued from the pound about a week before she was to be put down.

This is Chopper. Rescued from the side of a highway last winter.

They're very good listeners, and constant companions. They're great for fighting of loneliness, and they get very spoiled.

This is Bodhi.We found him a year and a half ago wondering in the middle of the street lost and alone.
He was just a tiny puppy then.
Bodhi always knows when something is bothering me.He always wants to lay in my lap and kiss my face ! LOL
He keeps me busy,he is a very very good friend!

One of my cats, I use as my avatar (I have two cats, brothers). I'll use aliases with them...let's just call him "Barney Fife".

He really was sticking his tongue out in the original photo...I just animated it and fiddled with the background a bit.

Attachements will work if your pic is not too big.
An online free host, like Imageshack, will work too.
