Thanks! Yes, Buster and Crystal are the king and queen of the lot, although Kali (the corgi) is the true queen since she runs the house.

Thanks popcornpiggie! You should tell your parents a corgi is a big dog trapped in a little dog's body, lol! They really do have more of a big dog personality.

I love doggies but cannot have one at the moment. We have two puss carts as well as a house bunny, five piggies, a hammie and a tarantula spider.
Thank you for sharing, they are lovely.

oh such lovely babies! I love the white cat. I've always wanted an all white cat...oddly I have a solid black one and her black and white sister. I also had 2 gray tabbys and an orange cat...plus a yellow(fawn) and a black (white ticked chest) dog - so with the TSW, lemon agouti, chocolate and buff GP's I think I have at all the possible colors of fur on my clothing!!!

Thanks, Jeannine! Crystal is a Turkish Angora I adopted when she was a year old. All these years later, I still can't believe her previous owner actually took her to the shelter because he didn't want her. We had an all black cat named Shadow (very original) who died 2 years ago. We found him right before Halloween when he was about 6 months old. We found Ellis (the gray and white one) on the side of the highway at night when he was 3 months old. Quite amazing, if you think about it. He's such a lover boy and I think it's because he's so grateful. Buster we found from a newspaper ad (yes, he's that old, lol). I've always wanted an orange cat and some day I'll adopt one. You seem to have quite a colorful animal bunch! I love your cats, dogs and piggies.

Buster reminds of a cat my friend had when growing - hid name was Muffin -lol- but he was so regal and sleak I loved to roll the crab apples under the parked car and watch Muffin chase after them.
give your senior kitties lots of kisses from me, and tell them that there are 3 of my kitties Willie, Charlie & Cloe waiting to play with them when its their time to cross the rainbow bridge.

I love adopted shelter and 'found' pets - they really do seem to know you saved them.
I've only had short hairs (cats, dogs, gp's - maybe there is a pattern), does Crystal need a lot of brushing? My dog could be brushed till the cows come home, she loves it so much and gets jealous if someone else is being brushed.
My Cloe was gray and whenever I wore black I swear she made a b-line to rub all over me. If I wore gray she ignored me.
Do you ever notice Harley's nose change colors? Mushka has the same color nose and I swear some days its more pink and other days more brown.

Crystal doen't need too much brushing, but I have to brush her more now that she's old, because she sleeps so much. Several times she's gotten really mattted, especially on her belly. She's pretty good about letting me cut out the mats, but it's a long process.
I swear, animals do know when you're wearing black! I have lint rollers everywhere, even in my car, because one of us always ends up with fur somewhere, especially in the winter.
How funny that Mushka's nose changes color. Does it have to do with the temperature? I've never noticed Harley's changing color. I do wish Golden's noses would stay all black, like when they're puppies. They're so cute.

Why use a regular size water bowl when you can use a giant one instead? Sill cat's always in there when I need to use it!

oooh toilet water is nice and cold!!! - lol
When my Charlie got older he had a hard time grooming his back end; he would get mats on his butt (back upper thighs to be correct) and I would cut them out. He was a short hair but it still looked all funky. If you had messy hair it wasn't 'bead-head', it became "Charlie-butt" - lol
I have not been able to figure out Mushka's nose color change, maybe it gets a sun tan? weird, but I have photos to prove it!!!!

We had sulfur in the water at the last house, and if not flushed, the toilets got a bit smelly. We wanted to use those drop-in sanitizer/deodorizers, but couldn't because there was always a furry nose in at least one toilet, lol. Had to keep the toilet bowls extra clean, too. They do love the fresh, cold water so much better than any stagnant water in a bowl on the floor. Never tried one of those recycling water bowls. Maybe they work.

Kali loves to cuddle, especially when it's cold! Harley loves, loves his babies and will spend hours licking them. Time for a nap with some of his babies!

Dogs make the best feet warmers! Indy loves to lick too - if its not moving she will lick it...the GP's, the cats, the couch, the floor, the walls, your pants...

Haha! Kali's a licker, too. It drives me crazy when she licks the couch, but she loves to do it.
