Fun Stuff > CHATTER
We love our pets!
Carl-E:
Oh, man - that's what this thread is for! Beautiful animals. We have an all black cat as well, nearly 16 years old now, starting to go blind. Regal as all hell.
Oh, and Mishka's man thing? Our golden retriever Max had the same issues. Thing is, we had him from the age of 6 weeks, he was never abused by anyone, but I was the only man he wasn't scared of. He was OK with boys up to about pre-teen, but once they were teenagers, he was wary, and men were a real point of fear (along with thunder and gunshots). I personally think he could smell the testosterone... or something.
I still miss him. I finally brough the box with his ashes in from the car yesterday, he'd been riding under the seat all winter. We'll probably scatter them at the lake when we introduce Lillie to the glories of swimming this summer.
Nikolai:
Yeah. Anytime I go to the field for a week there's always a couple-hour re-acclimatization period with Mishka, even when I bribe her with treats. I'm interested to see how she'll react/if she'll remember me when I get back.
My wife has a thing for fostering kittens, which is actually perfect for me. I love kittens, but hate (for the most part) cats. I call it "renting kittens". The first time we fostered with Mishka, we were definitely wary as to how she'd react, but it turns out that she's a natural-born momma for all species. She groomed and pooped Sasha, and would pick her up and carry her around the house. I'm fairly certain that Sasha thinks she's a dog; even when we leave the cat food where only she can reach it, she prefers Iams.
When they're not fighting like cats and dogs, Sasha spends most of her time like this.

Misha looks somewhat like an Akita we had growing up. Somewhere my mom has pics of her playing with some pug puppies. Darling.
Nikolai:
We're not entirely sure what breeds she is. There's obviously husky in her, but the rest is as mysterious as why she prefers to pee on the carpet five minutes after she's back inside.

Those two are so cute together!
