Pictures of my pet/s

[Clive Symes]

Picture of my cat, Prince, a couple of months before circumming to feline aids, contracted as the vet said in Namibia before we brought him down to CT. Was sad to see him deteriorate  so quickly.

[SandyB]

Been through the whole gamut of pet ilnesses .. Sylvester our one male till he was debollocked had  feline clap , hepatitus  and any other "socially " transmittable  ilness ... worse was the  group of  feral female cats that adopted us when we moved in initially ... there was a rogue  gene .. carried by  the dominant male in the area .. their noses wold literally rot off .. a form of herpes ... not nice .. I had to put down 3 with  the same thing .. hectic antibiotic treatment would keep it at bay but eventually i would come back with venegance ..  but as always i always spoke to themand told them that there was nothing more i could do .. invariably they gave me the nod and allowed me to help them  to kitty heaven ...

[Clive Symes]

Know exactly what you mean. Nice to have found a vet that cares enough  to not even charge, just helps when he knows that all thats left is pain and  no quality of life.
Prince was given to me already named Princess, until we discovered a set of nuts and promptly changed the name to Prince.

Buried him deep in the corner of the garden, Planted an Alexander Palm  ( Renamed, at least in our garden as a Prince Alexander Palm) over him.

Over the past 25 years have buried a number of "companions" and it does'nt get easier.

Yes Clive or garden is a veritable ' pet cemetry "  all interred with their blankies , bowls , leashes or whtever belonged to them ...  and yes it never gets easier even  i do the whole journey each time  at the vet  out of respect for their unconditional love ...  and yes  for what i felt for each one ..

By the way Granny D .. I req uire Morags birthdate . for her vetinary records ...

[SandyB]

Help !! Granny D  I'm sure that a Tasmanian Devil cub got somehow mixed up in the litter of  pups ..  what I got  was supposed to be a scotty  what has  emerged  is a creature  that shrieks and howls just like a Tasmanian devil ...  you  dont  even  want to  hear it  when she throws a shitfit  over any old thing ...  more  so  if  she does not get her way ... or  feels  slighted
No  only  joking  she an  absolute pleasure .. just  very  feisty  .. probably   why  you recomended her to me .. i enjoy the high spritedness , so does Tina .. they  got a shinbone each .. start of the luverly stew I made .. looked at them and well gently fired the bones with a bit of meat left on in olive oil  cooled down and well they  still chewing away  after  removing the marrow and meat ...

Got a pic of the Tasmanian Devil and Tina doing tug 'o war with one of Morags toys .. amazing Tina has regressed 10 years ..

Sandy, Im waiting for Mike or Pete tell me that someone has discovered all these animal graves in the garden at 26-12th Ave in Oranjemund. With the cats ducks rabbits etc I was running out of space to bury pets.
As you say each in its blanket and or box.

Someone is going to be spooked into thinking all kind of ritual went on.

[SandyB]

Clive ..  my garden the same  ( strange rituals )  ..  I'm right now sitting with the Morag on my lap .. so strange .. I gave Tina a bath this afternoon   3 weeks a bit long for Yorky  x dog  she now all fresh .. the Morag still has her  scent .. now part puppy / mommy  and yes  slowly getting  riper by the week , but i will leave the bath for her till she  more grown  up  and not  need the pup scent  as defence ...

[SandyB]

Morags latest adventures .. have not posted pics lately  but realised how the little tyke has grown .. she used to have a hideyhole in the garden  ,, this morning saw er trying to get in ..   .. realisation ...  anyhow Dr Bertie ..she foraged in my  bag i take to work and found my Olive tabs ... got the container open and  cos she likes green stuff .. ate a few .. needless she did not require her second deworming  session  ... she had a major  cleanout ..  was drinking tons of water  and  dropping snowcones  like mad ..  her  now settled recent stools have not a trace of worm ..  I put her collar on for the first time today .. she now  sulking .. well if she wants to go for walks out of the lane area she gonna have to get used  to it ..

@ Sandy - Morag's into herbal meds hey?  Good doggy! 
Well I'm glad it did good anyway.  Talking about they Olive tabs - found my oldest girl kitty (Mia) stripping the leaves off my Bonsai olive tree with her teeth the other day.  I was not amused!  Well, I just took the plant away - can't blame her, she seems to know when she needs something - very often does the same with my herbs outside, especially the Lavender, Mullein and St. John's wart.

Bertie

Jy is nou wel 'n dokter en nie 'n veearts nie, my een worsie is geopereer op haar ruggie, R9 500 later, maar weet jy wat, dit is die geld werd, want ek het nie kans gesien om haar uit te sit nie, sy het siek geword net toe my sus oorlede is. Sal fotos neem en hier plaas. Sy is tans op 'n baie streng dieet, is oorgewig maar ek kan sien sy het al heelwat verloor, die lyfie neem nou vorm.

Yes Bertie a good deworming she had .. the vet just laughed . when i told her yesterday  ..  anyhow i got a few snaps of  pisspuss    cuqui  as we were sitting in the lane sunning  ourselves ... she has grown .. coat is changing and she getting the brindle ..  now  got  beautiful  eye make up ..  grey eyebrows .. a  sort of silery gold  in the undercoat ...
observe  the length of the  snout  getting nice and long  .. i tease her and say " who'se  got the  big mouth ?? "  and if one  pans up one can see the  coat  undertones ... save and put into  any other program and   then zoom in ... 

[SandyB]

Yes and  before anyone says .. Tina  is on a diet again  . she has become  Blossom Broadbeam again  .. i spoilt her  a bit with food  since the  Morag arrived .. with  the obvious consequneces .. now that  all is  settled in nicely  her daily intake being   slowly and gently reduced .. she lost  almost 1 kilo already ...

Beautiful.  And all looks so happy together.  Must say, that little face says "mischief" to me!
