Claymaniacs - Introduce Your Pets!

[Prissy]

Shadow and Sandy are good about posing if you take the picture fairly quickly!! 

Frankie,

I love seeing pictures of Jack and Tuffy!  They are so cute in their bandanas.  Love the bones on the bandanas.  Thanks for posting the picture of Gumbo, Rice, and their "big" chicks.  They all seem to have the same coloring.  Great to see the ducks, too.

Pepe,

Shadow and Sandy are good company for each other.  We have never given them stuffed toys to play with and I think that's why they are good about leaving things alone, like the stuffed Christmas toys and the ornaments on the tree, and gifts, too.   One of our friends gave me stuffed dog toys for the dogs, but I hesitate to give them the toys.  I don't want to start a bad habit.  They do have rubber squeaky toys and a rope thingy to play and chew on, but they don't have that much interest in them.

  Tammy!

Prissy - I am always impressed with your dogs and with Sammy -they don't seem to mind the camera at all - Jack and Tuffy don't take good photos, and they may never do that - they are scared of the camera. You are right about the stuffed toys - our dogs have to be watched around the granddaughters' stuffed animals and dolls, and I've had problems with my Santa pillows this year - there is no way for the boys to tell them from their toys, so the pillows have been placed way up high this year!

[Tammy]

Geez! I wrote a long post and my computer shut off.. 

Prissy,
I have always loved the way you decorate your home.  The openness of your home is awesome.  I wish I had a big family, kitchen combo great room.  Shadow and Sandy look lovely in their new Christmas attire..  We bought Ping and Zoe new fuzzy colloars with bells.  I'll try to take a picture of them today with it on.  I had to take it off of them yesterday when the bells started to make me go a little crazy..

Frankie,
The boys look adorable in their Christmas bandannas too..  They look so sweet, calm and innocent..   The hens you posted look like the wild ones Joe and I saw all over the place in Bermuda this year.  I'll have to post pictures of them.  It was so strange to see them everywhere like we would see squirrels.

Pepe,
It's wonderful that you took Alli in and made sure that she will be taken care of if anything ever happened to you.  We know that you are going to be here for a long time though.   I wish more people did that.  There are so many animals in shelters when their owners pass away and have no family to take care of them.   Isn't it wonderful how Alli had given some new life to Pepe after the loss of Maggie.  I'm glad he has a new playmate and 14 years old, that is awesome..

Joanne,
It amazes me how Shadow, Sandy and now Sammy look like little models are so statue-st in the ways they pose..  Too cute!

Here is a link of Ping and Zoe from June.  Beware of the sickening baby talk that I use when I talk to them.   Ping is at the end squeeking her balls.  When Ping got sick and started feeling better I took all the videos I could of her so I could remember her healthy.  Well she is still going strong and I feel blessed.  I say my prayers to Saint Francis for her every morning without fail.  I also added Kayla to my animal prayer list.  I have loads of other sickening baby talk videos of them.  It's funny because I was watching a video of someone talking to their animal that way on Dog Whisperer and decided to check my videos out to see if I sound that bad and low and behold I did.   I even have ones where I am worse.  I am going to have to tone my doggy talk down..

Here is the link if your interested on seeing the girls.  Ping's fur is kind of funny in this picture but it's grown out.  The vet thinks it was from the ethanol treatment they gave her and it went through her system and in this picture it was at the point of growing out.

TAMMY great pictures.  I couldn't get the voice to play though so didn't get to hear your baby talk.      Yep we are bad at this house to calling ourselves mom and dad to our pets.  I really hate that word in a way as they are more companions or good friends.
I have trouble watching UTubes it will start and than stop than start and stop for good.  I think it is because I have a double firewall on my computer.  So happy to see you posting here. 

[Tammy]

I thought I would post some pictures of last night at my house of the girls before and after my party.  Everyone is sleeping now.  Today we are heading to my folks for a big Christmas celebration. 

Me and the girls before the party...

Merry Christmas to all of my Pet loving friends..

TAMMY, great photos, keepsakes for sure.  Didn't know you got a new kitty, he is a cutie!!! We gave my puppies, Pepe and Alli there presents yesterday afternoon and they are more fun than anybody to watch them open the gifts as they try to get the paper off.  It took them a good half hour to unwrap everything they were really exhausted by last night and still look they are kind of out of it!!  We took a couple of wrapped toys across the street to a couple that got a new boxer puppy.  They were surprised that we give Christmas gifts to our companions.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

   Just got back from a two day visit to sister/family in Beaumont, Tx.  and I love all the new adorable pet photos! 
Prissy---Sandy and Shadow with their Christmas photos are so cute.

Frankie---Jack, Tuffy, ducks and Gumbo's family are darling.

Tammy---Ping,Zoe and Milo are so cute too.  Glad to see them  here again.
JoAnn

P.S,--Sammy was a goodboy.  He was a good car traveler both ways of the 6 hour drive each way.  He also behaved himself in Beaumont.

Thanks!  Our cat is Milo and we have had him for about 18 years old.  He is always hiding in closets, boxes.  He loves it in there.  I think I posted pictures of him awhile back.  He is the last of our three cats.  Sparky died this year at the age of 20.  Milo is an inside cat but loves the outdoors.  He snuck out one day and we couldn't find him for two weeks.  New neighbors down the street posted signs on telephone polls that he was living under their deck.   We called up and it was him.  We were sooooo happy.   I never tried giving my dogs gifts with the paper on.  That must have been cute.  Here is a picture of ping after her getting new presents that were treats.  She was determined to have more..   Click on the little pictures to make them bigger.

Ping still at it..

TAMMY, well Milo feels good that I complimented him thinking he was a young kitten.    I know that  one had passed away.  Great pictures!!!!  Yep we have always wrapped our pets Christmas presents.  Put a little paper around and twist the ends, that is the best part for them is to unwrap them!!!     

JOANN, so glad that Sammy made the trip okay and charmed all the people he met!!!  He is so sociable have you ever thought of making him one of the companion dogs?  That probably isn't the right word, it is the dog that you take to nursing homes and hospitals.  I have met some in Pet Smart stores with their tags on them and I was told the owners of the dogs have to take them everywhere so they stay people and children friendly.

Prissy!  What beautiful magazine covers for Tammy - I know she will love them.

It must be at least 80 degrees here today (if anyone is still fighting snow, I apologize!  )

It is so warm that Tuffy found the first turtle of 2009 - and Jack has been working hard to take it away from him:



Tuffy thought that getting in the pond would make Jack go away:



But finally he just decided to out run Jack:



This turtle is small by our turtle standards, but it is early in the year. The boys ran around with it for a couple of hours, but Lewis finally took the turtle away from them - and now they are collapsed on the couch. (And the turtle is fine!)

[Pepe]

FRANKIE, those Yorkies are fast runners aren't they!!!  How funny they are!!!  Looks like they had quite a entertaining day!!!!!!!!!! 

PRISSY, Tammy will love those pictures .  I wish she would post more, hope she shows up soon as I know she would love to see herself and her babies on the dog magazine covers.

[Tammy]

OMGoodness!  I have been real busy this past week with family and uploading videos and pictures that I just got around to seeing this. 

Prissy
Those are awesome.  I feel bad because I never got back to you with pictures you asked for but you did an awesome job.  Thanks soooooooo much.. I love them and I'm saving each and every one of them...   Thanks again!  

Frankie
I envy you with that 80 degree weather.  Look at your little guys with that turtle.  That is the funniest thing..  Does the turtle come through okay?  Your little ones are adorable. 

Pepe
I will have to try that wrapping paper trick next time with the girls.  I hope they don't eat the paper.   They loved their toys and my sister got them a new one too.


It's funny but Ping and Zoe were all snug a bug in our bed this morning so I couldnt resist doing some close up shots of them.  Zoe is on the left and Ping on the right..

Tammy - really sweet photos of Zoe and Ping (as always!) They have such sweet little faces. The turtles always make it just fine - they close up their shells until rescue comes. Lewis usually takes the turtles away from Tuffy right away, but today Tuffy was really fast  They have just gotten baths, since they went into the pond, so that should make them sleep the rest of the evening!

[Prissy]

Tammy,
I'm glad you enjoyed the magazine cover pictures of your photos.  I love the new pictures of Zoe and Ping, too.


Frankie,
I tried some different magazine covers with your photos of Jack and Tuffy.







And Pepe, this is the only picture I have of your Pepe.
 

[fhmmany2]

Thank you, Prissy  I am going to print those for the boys' scrapbook.

[Pepe]

TAMMY, love the pictures of Ping and Zoe.  The way they lay so close to each other you can tell they love each other so much. 

PRISSY, love, love all the pictures on the magazine covers of the pets.  The things you do make this thread so much fun.  Love the picture of Jack and Tuffy  on the TV guide!!!  I have to take some pictures of Pepe and Alli.  Alli is on the move all the time hard to get a picture of her.

FRANKIE, yep you can show Jack and Tuffy they are famous now, they are on the magazine cover.
