Christine Animal Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 It wasn't Lisa but a lookalike I put on once Anne. She died in 1976 and I still had tears when I put the photos on this morning. I know how you must feel WJT and it is still so recent. [kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 From the photos it looks as if you are in some lovely lush countryside in the Sarthe. (Cooperlola I mean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Sadly a bit too lush for the poor ponies who have to be confined to a tiny paddock all through the spring and summer - much to their chagrin! Then I had to explain to the mayor who had had a complaint that they "did not have enough grass" as to all the resulting health problems should they be allowed to get fat.btw I should think lining the boxers up for a photo is the least of their problems. Lovely pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 The first of these was taken just as the sun was setting behind her. Her name is Celé and she is named after the River Celé between Figeac and Cahor. We used to go there for loads of our holidays in our former life...[IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Celesunset1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Celdesktop1.jpg[/IMG]She is the biggest dustbin on this earth!!!

Anne, you are right about sometimes one being a bit more special. I do love my little one to pieces but will always have a hole in my heart for Leo.[:(] Megan was beautiful, I do hope Tresor can help heal yours.

Christine Animal Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Yes, poor Anne lost some of hers not long ago too, but she had Utopie, Maggi (Cerise) is having Trésor. There are so many adoptions, we're getting mixed up, hope there will be many more! Anne you saw Ambre in the Vendée, did you see the other Dane under the Vaucluse thread, she's a beauty too.That first one is a photo extraordinaire Jonzjob and Temperdu's black cat.

WJT Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Christine, I was just coming back to edit after going into the thread on Tresor. Of course it is Cerise [:$], I feel stupid because I did know better. Anne, sorry and I am sorry for your loss, I do hope that Utopie brings you joy.

Dick Smith Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 This is my favourite ever cat, Trotsky, photographed about 1972. When we were students Julie sent me off with our last 5/- to buy cheese, so that we wouldn't starve. On the way I passed a pet shop, and there in the window was a little ball of orange fluff, covered in vomit and poo, far too young to have left her mother and shivering. Well, it was no question, and the cheesemonger lost out (we ate bread for 3 days). With a lot of TLC she grew into a very delicate, but incredibly affectionate cat/alarm clock (cat people will know the type). She got lost twice, once under a prostitute's bath and once in my sister-in-law's garden. She lived to 14, but by then her hips were going, and after a lot of treatment (no cheese again) she got a bit better, but a lout up the road let his dog off the lead to chase her. We never saw her again, and I think her last hours must have been bad, but we'll never know. None of our other cats ever came up to her, except Castro, but that's another (sad) story.[IMG]http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/dick_at_aulton/richard010.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tresco Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Salty Sam, that is one cheeky dog (and you put the covers on him/her, too).Dick that is a great story about Trotsky, who looks very startled in the photo.Of course the incidental details that we speak of when talking of our pets got my attention. 5 Shillings worth of Cheese was quite a lot of cheese in those days, and you and Julie were quite young when you teamed up.[:)]I'm really enjoying seeing these photos people are posting; all of them.

Dick Smith Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 There may have been a loaf of bread involved as well. Julie and I have been together since about 1968 (She'll kill me if she reads that - I'm supposed to know exactly).I haven't got any pictures of Castro, but he was a beautiful, black and white longhaired, gentle, neutered tom, he was Keir's pet, and they loved each other with the sort of passion that only a 7 year old and his pet can have. One evening there was a kerfuffle in the front garden (we thought urban foxes) but in the morning we found Castro dead by my car - he had jumped up onto the bonnet and an old-style wing mirror had cracked his skull on the vertical line. Keir never got over it, but he now has two insane Siamese to play with! His next cat was an insane menace, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 1986Sol in Spain after we rescued her severely injured on the road, but still able to wag her tail [IMG]http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a269/lavande/Sol1.jpg[/IMG] and back in the Perche after one of her two hip operations, which enabled her to have a long and happy life with us. She was nothing but gentillesse and discretion. [IMG]http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a269/lavande/Sol2.jpg[/IMG] Just found these two Winter 1986/87 of Sol, now standing and still wagging her tail, and Sol and me (by the magazine it looks as if I was intererested in photography at the time!).

chris pp Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 The first photo is our only current dog, this is the one that we "liberated" earlier this year, she's hunting mice in the photo, yes, this is the dog that keeps the wildlife under control.[IMG]http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q73/unautremonde/Personal/Missy-hunting.jpg[/IMG]This photo is the sharpist dog that I have ever had, now dead. Just for the Welsh contingent, he came from good working stock on a Welsh sheep farm, just toooooo clever.[IMG]http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q73/unautremonde/Personal/CHIP.jpg[/IMG]Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 That's a beautiful photo Chris of the one you have now and and what a beauty she has become. I seem to remember she was very undernourished when you got her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
