ha, well i can't take the credit for coming up with that name. it's a name of a cat from the cartoon "Top Cat". he just reminded me of him, i suppose. Smile

The cat, Dickson (named after a character from the game Xenoblade):



The dog, Bidu (named for the dog in Monica's Gang; pronunciation: Bee-Doo):



Both of them (although Bidu is hidden in the shadows):

Aww. I was also wanting to recommend a pets and animals forum, sad that it won't be an option. Between the special interest aspect, the service animal aspect, and the general focus on pets with autism, it feels like it'd be really good if it can be formed at some point.

However, at least lots of cute pictures! To add to them.

Here's Ada. She's my ESA cat that I got December 31st. She's a year old. She's named after Ada Lovelace.



The other good picture of her I have is




I had lots of pets growing up. This one is Churchill, he unfortunately died a few years ago (he was put down when he stopped having quality of life). He was the one which was most my cat. In this picture he was in my room during junior year of high school.

It would be nice to see some discussion on the wider aspects or care of pets here too - their feeding, training, wellbeing etc. plus any useful tips other members may have.

QFT. I think I asked for such a forum some time back. For some of us animals are our only family and friends. I read one article not long ago about how horse riding can improve children and adults with autism and other disorders. Thought it was an interesting since as one who use to take a class on horse riding, I found a lot of truths to it for me personally.

I don't have pics to post here because they aren't hosted anywhere, but I have two wolf hybrid dogs, Saban and Baily, a giant flemish rabbit called many names, thumper, Bunny Foo Foo, Mr Bunny Rabbit, Man Eating Bunny, Rabbit of Doom, an outside cat named Ozzy, and a python named Monty.

In a few months or more may get a pet and would like a small dog. Do like cats as well. In the past when I was growing up we had a lhasa apso and she was a good companion.
In a few months I may pet sit so may hold off on getting a dog. In the past did pet sit for a friend and took care of a cat and a lizard type of animal who ate bugs every few days. Really do not want any cold blooded animals as pets.

These are my ducklings, Jack and Jill! Very Happy
They look redder than they actually are because of the brooder light. Also, I had fun editing it in Photobucket. The options they have are pretty cool, although not as effective as Photoshop. I had to put my computer back to factory settings and haven't gotten around to getting everything back together.

Anyways, enjoy!

I had a cat named Tammy once. Well, she was long gone, but she didn't really left me. She left me Tia her new born kitty.
-Tammy-- I'll always keep her in my heart.
