Post a picture of your pet

I think he jokingly meant going to the effort to make portraits of your dogs instead of taking a photo

Could be, just the way its worded I thought I had done something wrong. As for the paintings that is on of my hobbies, I also do portraits of people.

Theres no shame in enjoying creating paintings.

Here's the story of Silus the one eyed cat.
He's a stray who lives with Sally a friend of ours who takes in homeless cats. One day Sally said out of the blue did we want to adopt a cat? We had a chat and thought it would make a nice addition to the family so we went to her house to pick one, and the one we liked was Silus below.

We arranged for Sally to bring him down to our house at 12 o'clock the next day so we go home and dash out like new parents to get all the cat stuff you would need. 12 o'clock came and no Sally and Silus, half an hour went by and still no Sally so we rang her to see what was wrong.
Sally said she put Silus in the back of the car and was halfway down the road and started crying as because she just couldn't let Silus go..
So there we are with all this cat stuff and no cat! What to do? The food bowls looked a bit lonley with food and water and no cat so we made a quick decision and dashed to to Mijas to an animal sanctuary and ended up with two cats instead of one because there were so many there to choose from!
Amie and Rosie came to stay but we still see Silas our near miss!

Bless! I was supporting someone who was volunteering at an animal sanctuary and ended up coming home with our three cats!

Not my pet but while we're talking about rehomed cats, this was Malcolm, he had one working eye and only three legs, and couldn't walk very well:

I should warn you that it's a bit of a weepy

Charlie.
We have had him since he was a pup and got him from The Dogs Trust.

He lays down like this most of the time.

Drink problem?

Drink problem?

Damn my slow typing!

I don't have a pet but I'm feeling left out of this thread so here's one of a spider that I walked past a couple of years ago ...

And here's one of a friend's dog taken on a walk over the local hills ...

There are plenty of cats out there needing homes

This is Millie, My 1 year old Red Border Collie. I got her from the Wood Green animal shelter. Her mother was rescued from Ireland, and after a couple of weeks was found to be pregnant. Millie was the only one this colour. She looked like this when we got her. See below

At the risk of offending potsy and other CC cat owners - no way - I am definitely not a cat person!

If I had a pet it would be a mad dog. Not mad as in 'likes to eat strangers' but mad as in 'has loads of energy, and is a real character'!

But, since I knew that I'd have been as unreliable as a pet owner as I'd have been as a parent, my not-to-be-owned dogs were lumped in with my not-to-be-born children many years ago!
