Pet pictures!

It’s a good thing there are bars to protect Irving.

Yeah. The Guinea pig is completely unfazed by the cats, but they aren’t sure what to make of him. They are fascinated by Dean, but I think they’re a little scared of him too.

I thought Bob was looking very refined this morning:

Bob has got ‘noble’ down pat

A very dignified canine gentleman indeed.

I believe I have mentioned that Tikva is a burrower. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: She can always find someplace new to hide. Like inside a rolled-up yoga mat.

That is a pretty impressive burrow.

Someone has recently decided that hanging out under my auxiliary desk is a cool idea. Personally, I welcome the company.

Well-ventilated, eh? Penthouse life can be very glamorous.

Zoey very elegant. Shadow is… not

Bob, hogging my end of the couch - he’s harshing my ass-groove.

I took this right after a game of Crazy Eights (running him around like a maniac in the back yard).

This is Linden. He’s a three and a half month old lilac point Balinese. He weighs 3lbs.

And this is Poe. He’s a just barely four month old blue and white Maine Coon. He weighs 7lbs.

This is them together - look at the size difference!

And before anyone asks, the vet said Linden is average size for his age. Poe’s just ginormous!

You are an elf rich in kitties. Gorgeous.

Yes, my two are Maine Coons, or overweight mixes, and now all other kitties look tiny to me!

“In these stressful times …”. Yeah, yeah, I know. But it’s true. Pics like these genuinely make me feel good, like a stress reliever. As a confirmed dog lover (and, all kidding aside, kitties make me feel good, too) I especially have to give big kudos to Luna and Bob, shining exemplars of their species. Both of you guys are so lucky to have them. I’m tempted to consider another canine adoption myself, but I would have to be a responsible dog owner as I always have been and right now there are various logistical problems in the long term.

All the pet pictures are great. Really interesting to see how many have something other than a cat or dog as a pet.

I don’t think I’ve seen too many dogs lay with the one paw/leg crossed over to the other side like that. Poor thing must have just collapsed due to tireds.

Absolutely! The cute dog/cat/pet forums over at reddit have kept me sane! I especially love r/aww, r/kittypupperlove, r/animalsbeingbros, and the ever-popular r/corgibutts. I had a corgi and they are definitely as cute from the back as they are from the front.

You have to be careful though, because often you’ll see posts about pets who have just gone to or are about to go to the Rainbow Bridge. So I usually cry for a while every morning when looking at the pics. But I enjoy reading about pets that are so loved.

Too. Much. Fun.

Can we do it again, huh? Please? Soon? Like right now?? I’m all rested!
