My Celeste would probably not agree though. She has been busy catching bugs though.. for an older girl she can pounce real fast when she wants!!! :)

Ladystardust, our ragdolls do not play much either except on a few occassions like Christmas time, or with fresh catnip plant. Alphy's markings have gotten darker since I saw the last pics of her and has the usual ragdoll coat of fur now.

This is a picture of the pet tarantula I have at school. Her name is Rose, since she is a rose-legged tarantula.

Darth, who LOVES spiders, wanted to see a picture!  :rofl; :rofl;

Rose is at least 8 years old. She just keeps eating crickets and getting bigger.  :bow;

Actually I've been having quite a time with my cats lately.  Akbah, (the one on the right) was diagnosed with diabetes last November.  (And a whole raft of other things, he was one very sick cat).  So I learned to give him insulin shots. But he was still sick, tired, lethargic, thirsty and thin, all symptoms of unregulated diabetes.  So in January, I went back online:  I learned to test his blood glucose by getting blood samples from his ears, which was a whole adventure and a half.  And I found a feline diabetes discussion board (of course!)  I learned that he needed low carb wet food (not the dry food my vet had changed him to).  I took him off dry food, followed their tips for which wet foods would work, and they helped me wean him off insulin.  He's been "off the juice" as they call it, for two weeks.  Once again discussion boards were an amazing source of support and useful, timely, relevant information.

Rose is really quite big. When I see tarantulas in the pet store they look tiny.  :rofl; :rofl;

"Willie Otis"  Willie for short...

2.5 year old English Lab, fox-red, Always rescued before, but this time we wanted to get one from a pup...He is absolutley the best dog ever, hands down.  Listens, stays in his yard (yes even tho we don't have a fence), smart bugger, plays dead, shakes, speaks big and does steady with tons of fruit-loops on his nose.  Only issue is he thinks he is a lap dog...yeah, nothing like a 75 pound lap dog  :clap;

I will upload a pic when I get a chance...

my english lab so far is missing a few cards from a full deck to be considered smart. He sometimes listens, but even in puppy classes the trainer has problems with him.  I hate the jumping up on people part and the turning back on him does not help when it's other people you are more concerned about,
Hope you can upload pics soon.

Bailey looks like a dachshund.  I'll be getting one soon, myself.  The darned "ornamental iron" gate man has been 3 weeks since he promised us a bid on 3 gates.  I can't get a dog until I get new gates, and I'm losing my patience.  I lost my dachshund last summer, and I still miss her.  She died during the night, halfway in her doggy door, and half outside.  The secret with dachshunds is get older models, they're mellower, and of course, females.  The males tend to bite.

OMG my 15.5 year old Min Pin that I adopted when she was 7 is shutting down.  Refuses to take any more pills as of last week.  I took her to the vet to see if she had a bad tooth (ones that are left).  She is blind and can't hear much but my little Min Pin's shrill bark which starts her barking.  But, now she won't eat and threw up what she did eat.  Luckily she poops and pees in the bathroom so I can clean that up.  If I take her outside she does it too, but when I'm not around she goes in there.  Unfortunately she pukes wherever and I cannot deal with that much longer.   She is in her bed covered up sleeping.  I called her real Mom who lives in CA and we told Pebbles she didn't have to live like this anymore.  I hate this!   :'(
