    She's gorgeous.

    Here are our two dogs watching Cosmos kitten having a wash on the stairs.

    Minstrel kitten is a bit older and a bit wiser and a bit more cautious.   She likes to watch the birds out of the window - can't go out till they've had their jabs.

     Obelixx, your 2 dogs watching Cosmos Kitten. Is the one closest to the stairs a golden retriever?

  • ObelixxObelixx Posts: 30,087

    No.  Close.  He's a Labrador.   Rescue dog with issues but very loving and playful with us.  Just doesn't like anything or anyone new till he's got used to them and finds kittens worrying.  He'll get over it.

    Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

     Obelixx, oh, his coat looks like a goldie.

  • ObelixxObelixx Posts: 30,087

    His coat is short and gingery and sheds.  His origins are unknown.  We adopted him after he was rescued by our dog trainer - been living indoors all his lif with never a walk or even house training and was thought to be between 2.5 and 3 yrs old.  She and the vet think Labrador.  

    He's a big baby, even now after 4 and half years with us but loves his walks and long runs off the lead and playing with Rasta and cuddles and games with us.  Just not sure about kittens yet.

    Clarice - a fine collection of contented looking cats and dogs.

    Busy - Bonzo is the bottom one.  Rasta is the Wheaten terrier type who adores kittens (and their food) and likes to mother them.   When we rescued her she had a 3" thick mat of felted hair under a crinkly top layer and had to be shaved.

    She soon blossomed tho and has been a steady 17 kilos for the last 8 years.  The hairdresser likes dogs with moustaches but Rasta's had to go cos she's a digger and was always filthy.

  • Thanks Obelixx?. Wow what a transformation, and so very thin....(hard to tell on the first one) but I bet it was a great relief to have all that off! Beautiful dogs ??

    All great pets.

    I was walking one of our dogs up the road where we live, and saw a dead cat on the pavement. When I was walking up to it, it was lying on its side and I thought, that's strange why isn't it moving, then I realised it was dead.l don't know who it belonged to.image

  • Hello everybody , after seeing all these wonderful pets I thought you might like to meet my little dog .

    Her name is Poppy and as you can see she is a Westie. She is a lovely little dog and likes nothing better than to be out in the garden with me , particularly on a sunny day , she is affectionately known as "assistant gardener Mcdougall ". She is 12 years old though sometimes behaves like she is 2 . Typical Westie , she can be full of mischief and very playful , but she is a delight to have around .  image
