That is an egret, I think, taken with my ancient little digital camera. I am lobbying for a new camera and even picked it out. Just waiting to have money to get it, ha!

Anyway, this was taken on one of our trips on the boat.

Who knew?!

Check out the my 'sister blog' of joyousness!

Just missing Tracy something Fierce and posting a few good things over on my other blog of joyousness this evening. :)

I have pictures of my fish I caught on Tuesday, July 15th, and a rundown of all the wonderful things I have made so far at my bakery job as well as the recipe of what I cooked in a slow cooker this evening so that I could have a yummy dinner with my Husband and not have to run to McDonald's or the like tonight.

I don't know if Tracy knows how much she is missed, but I guess she will when she returns from vacation in the next couple of days.:) I consider her one of my best friends, heck I don't have many friends, so this is just going on Tooo Long and I will be so Glad when she is back!:)

So, I'm done posting for the evening, I'll see ya later!:)

Tracy's post reminded me of this picture!!:)

She has a cute picture of a kitty willing to work for milk. Well, that reminded of what happens when there is a farmer kind enough to answer the request! (I think this came from an email!:)

Have a great and blessed day, Blogger Land!

Love,

Tart

Quick! Look at June 30th's 'Pug A Day!' widget

Spread the Love...

Special Treat for You! Fantastic Animal Sites: French Bulldogs and Maine Coons/Polydactyl Cats

Okay, I've been busy. I admit to having OneStat on my blog, it's free. It has this odd part about it where you can see the top rated blogs in the universe. You may remember me going off about the 'Turtle blog.' On second glance, I realized one reason it's so weird because its the only American Pet Blog on the list, and that's why I clicked on it. I recognized my country, but nearly all of these blogs including that one are in many other languages anyway. Now that it's #3, you can't miss it.:( Are you prepared for the turtle invasion?

I got curious about all the others. Most are from the 'Netherlands.' That would probably be because OneStat originated from that country, so no wonder it has tons and tons of blogs with the Netherlands flag. It's a healthy experience, just learning whose flag is whose. There is also a Belgium flag/blog. I may have mentioned before what a kick I get from other countries just 'hitting' on me. I think its very cool.

Well. I found two very special blogs in my journeys on that chart that just blew me away. They are not originally English sites, but both let you choose your language right away (look for the U.S. flag) and you can enjoy them in near English. Their flubs are cute too. I appreciate that they try so hard in some cases to write so correctly.

Check out http://www.codichefay.nl/uk/ or Franse Bulldog Kennel Co Di Che Fay's for utterly adorable pictures of the very cute French Bulldog. Oh, I just giggled with delight, these little sweeties are just the cutest! I have respect for their copyright and I won't steal pictures from them, so I invite you to see for yourself!:)

I had to check out the Maine Coone cat site that caught my eye. http://www.ormedons.com/ Ormedons Maine Coons & Polydactyls - click on the eliptical American flag for English. Polydactyl cats are those born with at least an extra digit, the most famous are the ones walking around Ernest Hemingway's home in Key West. It gives them big, fat, sassy feet!

I still think about my most beloved, and this site made me cry for how beautiful these animals are, and how much I'm reminded of my special One that's waits at the Rainbow Bridge. This site is exquisite for graphics. I recall a photographer that once said he had only taken pictures of three ugly cats in his entire career and he had photographed thousands. I've never seen an ugly cat, almost all possess a witnessable beautiful soul and the one's on this site are no exception. They are utterly beautiful and took my breath away.

I hope you enjoy these!:) I will take a look at others over time and share with you. I will probably go ahead and link both the Bulldog site and the Maine Coon/Polydactyl site here to the links on my blog, as it would be an honor to be associated with them.

Welcome to the Jungle!

I really do have a cat and a dog. They know they are not simply 'cat,' 'dog' but Siamese and Pug. It's not that I'm some kind of elitest, it just happens to be true. Okay, we treat them like furkids but I couldn't imagine it any other way!

I have not published pics of them, at least not for a long time, and so maybe you should just enjoy that I have broken down and now present them here!

Okay, Okay - These are not mine! But they ARE Alpacas and I really, really want some. They are sweet and mostly silent, like cats. Within 5 minutes of this picture they were swarming around Husband, nose to nose and really had him surrounded. It always happens. I work so hard to get a pet in our family, and they end up liking him the most! Sheesh.

Reese kitty, Siamese cat extraordinaire. If you are impressed, go online to the Siamese Cat Rescue and get yourself one! We had good experiences with them. He's so beautiful that I am sure he would do well in real competition. He is even neutered so well that it fooled a vet tech at my vet, at first. But neutered cats can only be entered in the Household Cat division which I'm sure he'd win, but he is so people shy, I think he'd hate it. He has red-eye in this pic, in reality he has gorgeous blue-blue eyes.

See more of his coloration. He's really perfect - black arms, tail, ears and face. Almond/white body with perfect color stratiations. Oh and did I mention Mr. Man's fangs? You can't see them, but they are there. He has killed two mice and we have boasted and bragged about him everytime. We really are proud parents.

Emma dog! This is my Pug baby. That 'look' is her begging for a grape. I had video and it was so cute because she spits out the grape because that's how she plays with it! I love her, I love her! There's a curly tail hiding in back too. Both animals are too smart for their own booties!:)

Paddy-Pug! She is cute as a dickens! This my Mom's Pug standing here with curled up tail. Those are water provisions for Mom's long journeys in the RV and yes, Paddy is there for everything! That funny round toilet-looking thing is Paddy's water dish - it will not fall over! Great for little travelers.

Oh yes, we end this with Paddy. She is like Emma but different, she looks more like your average Pug, basically. I love this pic because this is a typical insolent face she makes, it's the stubborn look. I did photoshop this pic. She had typical blue-eye, a common picture condition for young Pugs because the back of the retina is still so wide (my vet explained, 'cause Emma had the same problem). These are our sweet babies, enjoy.
