she keeps me warm when i am cold

and gives me lovies when i am sick

what more can i say

she is the best

love you stella the dog

she sees cause for joy everywhere and reason for restraint nowhere

she accepts my love

she forgives me my faults

she keeps me on my toes and reminds me to roll with it and come out the other side (albeit banged up a bit)

she shares my heart with derby

love to tucker

(leshshel -- i truly hope i didn't hijack your thread and you intend it to go in this direction!)

My cat sleeps on me since it's cold. Feline hijack on the thread.

Another feline highjack!

I have four willing heaters in my bed at night...completely portable...

I get approval/disapproval on dishes I have prepared...

I fall asleep with a chorus of purrrrrrrrs every night of my life....quadraphonic-harmonic?

And most importantly...in their eyes, I am never dull!     >^..^<

Even though I've only had two of my girls for a limited time..

They fit right in with my two older pets...

One acts like a doofus when I'm sad...

and the other gives me kisses...

We're one big happy family...

I love my fur kids.

by all means every one is welcomed to spread the love for there animal on this post.

Your cat is cute in your icon by the way Linda! I need to get a new computer so I can upload some pictures of my baby! Is your cat a Ragdoll breed?

Thanks, Shannon.....and you are looking at my Snowshoe, Jack Frost.  The photo was taken of him at 4 months and he was full of the devil and you can see it in the photo!  He is 2 years plus now.

Hope you can get a photo down-loaded of your grey tabby soon....would love to see him..... what is his name?

I love my dog because no matter what the weather, she makes sure I get my walks in.

Even though she's a rowdy dog, at Thanksgiving she was very respectful of the older blind and deaf dog we were visiting, while still whipping up on the puppies when they needed it.

I never really knew,

The day I brought her home,

That she would rule the roost,

A princess on the throne.

She gives her kisses freely,

And while she loves me dearly,

I wish she'd only hear me

when I shout NOT THERE! so clearly.

She started an addiction,

So far it's up to 7.

They greet me every morning

with enthusiastic praise

and greet me every evening

when I come home from work.

They act as tho they love me

unconditionally they say,

But don't forget our  cookies

and then we want to play.

I love my dogs.

Kathi........great little way to honor your four-footed friends!
