And I didn't count all the fish, so I'm thinking that evens out. You win in volume by a long shot, though.

If it makes you feel better, technically, nearly none of those are 'mine' apart from one cat and four fishies. It's my dad who keep attracting them. I swear, he can't say no to anything, not to animals, not to plants, not to broken although maybe interesting, useful bits that keep amassing in the basement... And if my mother hadn't said "it's me or the bugs" twenty years ago, I'm sure we'd have scorpions and tarantula's all over the place by now.

I didn't feel bad about it. I was actually enjoying the contest and was wondering what other animals would turn up.
Your mother made the right call if you ask me... bugs... *shudders*

You can do a few things with half an acre. Nevertheless, that's nearly a whole farm you had there, BoP.

I like how you felt the need to qualify that one sheep as crazy. I bet it was the one that had lazer eyes...

You're not half wrong there, Sarah. It was certainly the inspiration for the laser-eyed sheep.

As requested, Pixel updates! He's now 9mths, figured out that he can jump on the bench, so does it all the fuggin time >.< and still hates being dragged around on his leash. Ah well.






This is his 'venus human trap' pose. And it works dammit. >.< Scratch meh belleeeh..... scraaatch meh belleeeeeh... *chomp*

Kyaaaa~! Pixel! He's cute ^_^
Give him a nice tummy rub for me 'kay?

And thanks for uploading. *beams*

By the way, in that first picture he really looks like : "I own you and we both know it. You can struggle all you want, but it's futile. NOW WHY AREN'T YOU PETTING ME?!?"

I browsed back a bit and I don't think I've posted pictures of my sisters rabbit and our dog.

Aagje (the rabbit) isn't interested in Binkie (the dog)... They play well together though.


Binkie in our front yard. He's 2 years older and a lot more grey then he is in this picture though. He's 12 now.

Gawk! Cuteness factor has gone up again! THREE cute kitties on one page!

Lady R, the eyes of Rose in the second pic kinda look like those eye-buttons. (okay, this does make sense if you have a grandmother who makes cats and uses glass eye-buttons for the eyes >_<)

Mitzi the compukitty... has a nice sound to it

Whoa... you're right about the glass eye thing, especially in the bottom photo.

Compukitty is when she's being calm... Mitzi's a wild kitten. The other evening there were crows going crazy outside all through dinner and finally a neighbor came by and asked if that was our kitten in the tree and sure enough, Mitzi had climbed all the way up, to just below where the top really narrows, of the taller-than-our-house cedar tree next door and the crows were upset because she was mildly stuck right where they wanted to roost for the night.
And of course now that she knows she can climb down said tree on her own she wants to do it again... silly kitten.
