Wee Beasties In the I Compute Naked thread, mygothlaundry linked to her flickr stream. I stalked ..er.. clicked on the link and found this:
Mr Bill and Oliver - separated at birth?

Yes, this is permission to post your pet's (pets?) pictures. You know you wanna.

Hmm. My dog is old.

Ah, she did something creepy & stalkerish with my photostream! At last, at last! /snarkiness. Hee. Help yourself to my pictures, world.

Oliver is adorable. He looks like Mr. Bill but not as much as the cat who lives down the block. I swear, he is completely identical except black instead of gray. The first time I saw him I really thought Mr. Bill had mysteriously dyed his fur; it was one of those reality warping experiences.

My kids.

My late cat D.C. My two current cats - who are on my desktop, remember, from the other thread? - don't rate their own flickr group yet because I'm a cheap bastard that won't pay flickr for "pro" access.

Brand new dog: She just adopted us today. If nobody claims her, her name will be Cookie from now on.

That dog is kyooot, Doohickie.

The dooperkins:

Fifika Difika Bifika Wifika: Fiffy for short

Edward Elizabeth Hitler: Eddie for short (unbunch your knickers, he's named after Ade Edmondson's character from this show.)

Our flickr stream insists almost entirely of pictures of these two.

Right. Housebroken, though, is something else altogether.

Barney! No, not the purple dinosaur, but the best dog on earth.

wow, that's a big dog.

posted by dabitch 08 June | 12:26

Who, mine? Naw, she's just fluffy. 42 lbs. If she was much bigger, I couldn't handle her properly. She's juuuust right!

My old buddy. Just passed away May 29.

I have to leave my baby with the ex...

posted by Schyler523 08 June | 17:20

I'm sorry, Carbolic and Schyler. Losing or having to give up our pets is awful.

Schyler - I have pictures of my beasties in a Molson Canadian box. What is it about cats and boxes? They're as bad as kids. Buy all the fancy toys you want, but give them a length of rope or a box and they're good to go.

Deborah - Thanks. It was somewhat expected. 10 years is pretty old in Mastiff years. I'm taking it well but thought I would shake it off completely. I have to apologize to the people I made fun of when they took days off from work when their pets died. I didn't miss work but I did have him cremated and he now resides on my coffee table. Completely insane. I would have been okay with just burying him in the yard but that wasn't a possibility (180 lb dog). I just couldn't get comfortable about not knowing where he was.

my winston tribute
i loved that photo - i can see why you miss him

posted by dodgygeezer 08 June | 18:16

Dodgy - I'm touched!

posted by Carbolic 08 June | 18:28

How sweet, dodgy!

posted by deborah 08 June | 18:50

deborah- I still have hope that this will just be a separation, but i have been known to delude myself from time to time...

Right now she is very happy that Shelby is home from St. Louis, and is content with freaking out in the suitcase.
