Pet Portraits - please post them here

As I've written before, we're a host family for 'Barking Mad' an alternative to kenneling for people going on holiday/vacation or away on business etc.

Snoopy was with us (for a second time) for 13 days up until last Wednesday. She'd just been for a swim in Loch Lomond.

Great shot Donald. I love the use of negative space and the gaze.

We are in the midst of a Federal Election campaign here in Oz so everything is pretty quiet work wise. I am off on a two week break starting Friday night so I thought I would post a couple more of the cats to keep you amused while I go a fill my photo stock library.

Mack


Missy (full name Mischief)


Mack & Missy

Thanks Juniper, they are a couple of characters and they have never had a fight. If Missy torments Mack too much he just lays on top of her and squashes her. We hear her squealing for him to get off.

Lovely colouring on the cat. Is it a special breed?

I moved this post from NSCP as it's an animal, not a human! But I think Juniper had deleted it during the move.

Oh, Thank you, Rob! Sorry my post was in a wrong place. (I just thought it WAS, but could not focus, where... )
Sipsu's breed is unknown, we call it just "domestic cat", which is true both literally and naturally: he never goes far away from home although has chanche to do it. He's homecat.

No problem Juniper. I think I moved it as you deleted it, which is why it's under my name above.

Your cat and Peter's are natural models.

This is Kellie.

She is Head of Security. She and her Cairn Terrorist Cohort Buster patrol the perimeter of their backyard on constant vigil. Ever alert for Sneaky Snakes, Evil Doves, and of course Public Enemy #1, The Deadly Squirrel.

Needless to say they would feint from fright if they ever actually came face to face with one of these dastardly demons, but you would never convince them of that!

Although, for security purposes, they do not like to be photographed (undercover work, you know), I accidently caught Miss Kellie in one of her seductive Glamour Poses.

[Juniper]

AAWWW what beautiful eyes... and such a brilliant nose!
And a very good shot, I think.

[Loose Canon]

Miss Kellie thanks you, Eva-Marie! As do I!

And at the same time is grieving me over putting out what she thinks is a crappy photo of her (Diva!), and compromising her undercover work with all the squirrels that watch this site! Said something about bad lighting and BedHead! Too shallow DoF or my focus was off (her shnoz), and some WB problems! Next time I’m giving her the camera to shoot me in my Happy Seductive Glamour Pose! We’ll just see how bad things can get!

But that is on me! Kellie has a Spirit that is incomparable. How she heads the Dept. of Security and keeps Buster in line is beyond me.

She is the best loved and most loving puppy I have ever known. But for the love of God? Please don’t tell her I said so! It’s all I can do to resist the eye thing as it is when she lays on the schmooze!

This is Kellie.

Great photo and commentary, Terry!

I've written before of the fact that we 'foster' dogs via an organisation called Barking Mad.

Well, their national HQ has come on to me via the local franchise holder, wanting to use this in new national poster. Which is nice

ps - This is a different Snoopy to the black lab Snoopy that I posted a couple of weeks ago.

Congrats Donald (again)

... and as you were just pointing out elsewhere to Wendy, you got yourself into all this!

Well done,

[ScoutR]

Congratulations Donald: I have a feeling there will be more to come for you. Great work!

Oh I thought you had had him in the cotton wash cycle.

Congratulations on the photograph but more importantly good on you guys for making time in your lives to care for these animals.
