Pets seeking out another warm corner

[Moderator]

Dear Pet Lovers of Tom -

Even with breaking up the old

pets corner

into two pieces it is still a rather large and agressive lil K9. So may I suggest we find another comfortable corner for our pets of fur, feathers and fins and launch off again?

Best,
Dirk

This is Cooper Peady. I named him that because he was born and raised in a pipe that ran through someones front yard. Why is that relevant? Because there is a town in Australia where opals are mined. That particular town is named Coober Pedy which translates roughly into 'white man in hole.' See the connection? Cooper is whitish, more so when he was a baby, and he lived in a hole.

Anyway, I found out about him from talking with a lady at a thrift shop. We had both been looking at cat figurines. She asked me if i was interested in adopting one of a batch of kittens that were in dire straits. Fortunately, we were going through a drought then so the poor babies weren't washed away. But they desperately needed new homes.

The story was that some people moved and left their female, un spayed, cat. It's a sad story but had a happy ending as all her kittens found a home and so did she. And I was lucky enough to get my wonderful Peady boy.

He was so little that at first I had to bottle feed him for about a week. And he had no idea what life was like outside his pipe home so he was terrified at everything. I spent weeks holding him and snuggling until he felt more at ease. Now he loves being here and loves his two older brothers, Mr. Louis and especially Zachary Binx.



This is Mr. Louis. One of Cooper Peady's brothers. A friend of mine called me one day and said that she had found a kitten in her garage. The poor baby had been dumped in her neighborhood and was starving to death, literally. I brought him home and he recovered well. He loves to jump on our laps, flip his head upside down and wait for some scritches on his chin. Or to flop on his side and get belly rubs. He is almost invisible when he sits on that pillow.

The reason that he has a pink collar on is that it shows up better against his fur coat. He doesn't mind what color it is because he is color blind, lol.

So this is part of my family.

Superb photos, MCH. Always love to see fun photos of kitties. I have one of my own too. Kenan is her name and she has been here since 1998 but still acts like a little cat!

Thanks bunches Pry and Tracy.

I need to take a picture of Zachary Binx. I have an idea forming in my head as I type this, lol. Only, I have so many things to think about and do right now.

I'm so excited ! A local, very well known in his field, woodturner has handed me one of his beautiful but unfinished urns for me to add my carving and wood burning skills to. He also asked me if I could make 200 welsh love spoons, or Santa ornaments, as Christmas gifts for his clients this year. I have never made 200 of anything ! I'm not sure that I can do it. And they wanted to know how much I would charge them. I absolutely have no idea.
Clark makes urns for ashes be they peoples or pets. They are gorgeous. He has lived in the neighborhood for as long as I have and I only just met him a couple of weeks ago. I was driving by his house and saw that he was in his shop so I stopped and introduced myself. To my astonishment he was happy to meet me because he was wanting to talk to a woodcarver. Talk about divine influence ! It's spooky how God arranges things like this. I feel that we were pre ordained to meet at this time. I have only been wood carving for about two years but since I have a degree in scientific illustration I can accomplish more using this new technique. I love learning stuff.

Yes, I need to take a current picture of Zachary to post here. I'd like to see other current piccies of Who peeps pets ! Or pictures to go in the nature picture forum. Being a tactile and visual peep, I love pictures ! But I have to admit that I am not so fond of scratch and sniff. Ack !

Thanks again for your comments about my boys mug shots !

How adorable Pattie Ann.
She reminds me of a spitz that a neighbor had years ago. That dog was so friendly and full of energy.
