My Buddy

I'm sad to report one of the 4 pugs Fu Manchu passed away peacefully in his sleep. He was 9 years old. Here is a picture of him at a party, telling a joke about a giraffe who walked into a bar.
He was going to make a return visit to Florida next month, even though it's Brutus' turn. He was so well-loved by everyone who met him and well-behaved that I cheated and made an exception, after my uncle suspected Fu Manchu was my favorite and I didn't think I had a favorite.

And this is Kimberly Jujubee.

These are some bunnies that had their mommy hit by a car, so I fed them and helped them grow big and strong.

It's so sad that Fu Manchu died.

BtB, I am sorry to read of the loss of Fu Manchu.

[Story]

In a world where bad news is a constant..

..figured this would be appreciated.
(Sept. 8) - A stray pooch who got a helping hand from a Canadian family more than repaid the favor when he saved the family's 2-year-old son in the Yukon wilderness.
The British Columbia family, whose name was withheld at their request, took the yellow dog under their wing after encountering him on their trek through the bush. The scruffy-looking mongrel had porcupine quills sticking out of his snout, and the family tried to help him by pulling some out, The Globe and Mail newspaper reported.
Last Thursday, as the parents were setting up a trailer in the evening, their 2-year-old son, Kale, disappeared wearing only a T-shirt. News of a missing boy triggered a full-scale search involving rescue professionals and many local volunteers.
Rescue parties located Kale more than 24 hours after he vanished. With him was the stray dog, who had kept the little boy warm by cuddling with him during the damp, cool night and protected him in the bear-infested woods.

"Kale"?

Back to topic, I have a YouTube for kitty cat people who are missing their animal (mine's 1200 miles away). Click play and let the great Gazoo administer his purr therapy.

If mankind could live up to our dogs, we'd be a better species...

A few weeks ago Spencer decided the Eames chair was his and his alone. I could never get as comfortable in it as he could so I let him keep it. He's very pleased to have his own chair now...

 

[ThesFlishThngs]

Spencer looks like he's asking for a two-handed, surprise tummy scrumble!

 

[Grant Fan]

ok I am going to share now

Here is my dog Bear (he passed 3 years ago my parents got him for me when I was 7). I addopted him and he already knew his name I wasn't goign to change it.

Here is my kitty Jitterbug (he was poisoned by the kids up the street 2 years ago)

and this is Bogart (yes like Humphrey) He is 5 now and he is the sweetest boy ever (he is technically my mother's but he prefers me)

 

[ThesFlishThngs]

Grant Fan, BtB, (and all other Flers who have lost beloved animals pals), so sorry about that pet-shaped hole in the heart.
This is my darling Torix (and my daughter), who was poisoned by the most bigoted, horrendous white trash neighbors I've ever had the misfortune to encounter, not long after the photo was taken. I'll never forget him.

Congrats on the pug. Missy sounds like a cute name.
Naming your pet should not be left to strangers.

Here is our pug Miles. He is six months old.

Miles is a beauty! Congratulations!

 

[Fletch]

Grant and TheseFlishThings: It is very sad that at this late date there is still such deeply instilled prejudice against cats. Usually it's folks with feudal instincts about their property, but most of them wouldn't dream of shooting a dog who wandered over the fence line.

 

[ThesFlishThngs]

You're right, Fletch. These people, when I met them, bragged about how their dog would roam several blocks away, looking for cats to kill. I caught their two children siccing the dog on my cat one morning; a cat who was lying in a chair on my porch. I shudder to think what beasts those children have probably grown into all these years later.....
