You are certainly knowledgeable about snakes and have been so informative. I thank you for all the info you are providing. Fascinating!

Your Dog is a little beauty!
We are not allowed wolf crosses in the UK,which I think is a shame but oh well.
Your's looks a little little girl!

Thank you for posting all that info about snakes. Learned a lot from it, and it looks like im not the only one!

i had no idea some "played dead," and certainly look the part too! i love learning new things

Though, i must say, the blues and coloration in the rainbow boa are still incredibly striking to me.

My cats, Teddy and Smoochy got thier new beds today, so I thought I'd share a couple of pics....I think they approve! the pics are kind of big....

Here's Teddy

She unfortunately passed away yesterday afternoon. If only she made it across the road before that car came speeding past.

Beautiful cats - couldn't see but a bit of Teddy but I can tell
he's wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

I am so sorry for your loss - I like to think they crossed
the Rainbow Bridge into a wonderful land for animals.

Yeah, I guess I like to as well. More so now anyway.

My Zelda and her baby, we named B.B.
We lost Zelda not long after this picture, but B.B. inherited all her doggy qualities ♥

"MY Quail"



I feed them.I let them roost in my trees.
somewhere between 60 and 80 of them.
They are not too fearful of me, compared to others.
I have yet to touch one, can't get that close.

Do they count as pets?

I also have two beautiful dogs.

Leo, the Akita/LAb mix



And Abby, the Vizsla/Lab Mix

Wow an Akita Lab!
He looks great,I bet he needs lots of exercise and jobs.
Abby looks clever and happy as well!
Good job SD!

Nothing cuter than a dog and a kitten or cat. I have
a Basset Hound and got a new kitten for him last
Fall. The day that kitten met Moe he jumped on
his head and they have been best friends ever
since. The cat stays in the house and worries at
the front door while the dog is out doing his thing.
Thanks for the great pics!

reply to post by Forevever


How beautiful! Thank you for posting them!

reply to post by Rising Against


OMG....I hate to hear that...bless her little heart.

reply to post by spacedoubt


Cool! You should name him "Dan" ....get it?

reply to post by Forevever


So sweet! I love pics like that! What kind of dog was Zelda? She had such an expressive face

reply to post by spacedoubt


Those are gorgeous dogs....kind of look like Labrodors....

reply to post by StealthyKat

Zelda was very sweet (I always said she was bipolar though)
she was a Collie - a rescue - she never quite seemed to get over her ordeal - was very skittish - but yes, very very sweet - I miss her every day
Thank you ♥

Leo is a Genius.
At least by dog standards.
He's learned to open the fridge while we sleep, and help himself. We actually have to lock it..
When he's hungry, he opens the pantry by pushing on it until it pops open, then brings a can of dog food to the wife.
Lays it right on her lap. I mean, these cans are amongst all types of other cans of human food...He knows which ones are his...He's a bad boy. Love him to death though. As ornery as he is..
