Post your Pet or animal Pics (Part 1)

Poor sick doggo, suffering from a sudden onset of ‘Idiopathic Vestibular Disease’, aka ‘old dog disease’. He’s stumbling around dizzy, and has to be carried outside to do his business. Hopefully he’ll be back to his old self in a few days.

Taking care of our friends’ dogs while they’re away for 2 1/2 weeks. Hunter on the left and Ginger on the right:


We think they’re Jack Chis? They visited with us four times before the big stay. Visit #2 resulted in a dog bite, but they’ve had training since then and they’re the most lovable little dudes.

We’re all having loads of fun and will be sad to see them go on Sunday. :cry:

So they’re not using the shelter to get out of the rain. It’s turned into their morning nursing station. I’ve seen the mother get up off the ground and go to the shelter specifically to nurse her kittens. I’m just glad that they’re using it.

You should call a shelter out to do a Trap Neuter Release on them so you don’t have hundreds of kitties.

Well, we’ve given it a lot of thought, but it’s all easier said than done. The fact that the kittens aren’t weaned means it’s still too soon to fix them. But once they are weaned, they will probably scatter to the four winds. Capturing them won’t be easy. I don’t really know if a shelter even offers the service, but I guess it couldn’t hurt to ask. I can say that the number of kittens has dwindled. When we first saw them, there were 5, and now there’s only 4. I keep telling myself that a neighbor caught and adopted it, because any other alternative is too hard to think about.

The kittens are still young enough they can be acclimated to humans. The mom not so much by now unless she is already okay with humans.

They are equipped to deal with that and if they can get them all they will keep them with mom till they are ready. The kittens would be adopted out and mom will get released back in your yard and you can tempt her into at least trusting you with some kitty food.

An arty shit shot of Mona, thanks to my finger slipping in front of the lens.

I’ll provide some arty shits of Mona the next time I have to clean out her tortoise mansion.

Photography Competition

About the competition

The Royal Society of Biology annual photography competition invites amateurs to submit photographs on a particular theme.

Find out more about previous competition entries.

Photography Competition 2019

Capturing movement is the theme of this year’s competition. Life on Earth is constantly changing, and we invite you to photograph nature in motion.

You might wish to explore the locomotion and migration of animals or the growth and colonisation of plants and fungi. Your photograph could depict the act of flying, hunting, playing and swimming, or the bones, muscles and other biological structures that help perform these actions. We also welcome entries that explore this theme at the cellular or molecular level, illustrating the dynamic world only revealed to us with a microscope.

Oh, he makes sure I do every time I sit down… he’ll come and plop next to me or sit on my lap. He wasn’t too into being loved when he was younger, but he’s coming around in his old age…
