Visiting with sweet little Popoki this week! This girl LOVES her treats, and here she is licking her chops after I spoiled her with a handful of yummy snacks. She is SUCH a special girl. 😽❤️

Well it's an end of an era for us, Peaches time was up tonight 😥

It's been over 19 years of loving her to bits but age and illness caught up, so will see her next on the Rainbow Bridge.

Gonna be off for a few days, see you all soonish.

Count the dots! We spent some lovely time with dalmatians Herman and James and learned a lot about this beautiful and versatile breed.

Do you think they glow in UV light because of their true white fur? 👀

This was my cantaloupe; yet it was not to be. Penelope found it and helped herself. Who could blame her? Good job little girl!

Penelope, looking self satisfied for finding and eating her melon I had been saving. 🍈

#FlashbackFriday to 2019 and look at that attitude! He was such a cocky little sprite, so sure of his place in our pack - and our hearts. He was right, too.

One more from this set of the little one for now.
He's ten-ish months old and I couldn't imagine being without him. In six months he's been to the vet more times than our two other cats in two years combined, making him our most expensive cat, but we'd do it all again. He's helped heal our hearts after loss and he's such a sweet, sweet soul. Even if he does like the taste of wool a bit too much. <3

A lowlight image of a young green-eyed orange fluffy cat laying in a large wooden basket. The basket has a waffle weave textured blanket and half-knitted cream colored blanket in it. Next to the kitten's head in the left third of the image there is a skein of yarn. A strand of yarn from the skein is strung across the cat's body and he is making eye contact with the camera, as if he has just been scolded for playing with the yarn.

#cat #catsofmastodon #petphotography #cozy #photography #yarn

When he was a kitten I couldn't give him enough treats to make him stay in the basket. Now he thinks it's the bees knees. As I type this I am watching him sleep in the basket, basking in the afternoon sun.

Does it count as #fiberfriday if I am *meaning* to #knit, ... right after the little one is done with his nap on my #wip?

I'd love to say the reflection was on purpose but it'd be a lie. The lazy weekend continues with some cozy cuddly goodness.

A fluffy orange tabby cat gazes out a window. In the glass there is a reflection of the cat on the left third of the image.

One last post for #caturday today-- His ruff is really grown, while he's grown into his ear furnishings. His sisters chewed off his whiskers in the shelter, but now they are quite fabulous.

We are so pleased to have Cortez, he has truly enriched our lives, and is a great playmate for his siblings.

Two side by side images. The image on the left shows a young orange tabby kitten with downy-looking fur and a pink nose. The kitten is looking into the camera lens from a laying-down position. He has short, stubby wiry looking whiskers and long ear-fur. He is laying on a gray waffle textured fabric in front of a large reed-woven basket.
The image on the right is the same kitten, aged six months older than the left image. He is making eye contact with the viewer and is laying on a blue waffle textured fabric. He has long thin whiskers.

This sweetie was found running in traffic on a major road and it was pure luck that someone was able to catch her. When no one came to claim her, we adopted her. That was 2012, and she's been with us ever since. I mean, come on, who could resist that face?

Close up of a reddish tan Brussels Griffon face as she stares into the camera. She's adorable.

He would put his little front feet on the rim of the basket and lean forward, as if he could make us go faster by sheer willpower. Oh, how he loved to fly. I always had him clipped in, so he couldn't fall or jump out. "Safety first," I used to tell him as he wiggled, waiting to get underway.

The morning light was perfect on the bookshelf and vase. Cortez thought so, too, so he hopped up on the podium I'd set aside and started to pose.
What a ham.

Shallow depth of field. A young fluffy orange tabby kitten with light green eyes poses in the lower right hand area of the image. His fur is rimmed in a soft halo of backlight. The cat poses in front of a traditional stocked bookshelf. On top of the bookshelf sits a white pitcher full of pink and fuchsia peonies.

A home library image. A bookshelf filled with hardbound books takes up the lower third of the image. Sitting on the top of the bookshelf, a white pitcher full of peonies takes main focus. Behind the pitcher the shelf is filled with vintage ephemera, and a white traditional bust of a veiled woman. A large mirror reflects back to the camera some green wallpaper trim and a white ceiling.

A blond dachshund named Sizzle gives his best “puppy dog eyes” to get a treat. Taken from above, Sizzle’s head is tilted down while his eyes look up at the camera, giving the illusion that he’s sad, pathetic, and terribly hungry. He’s none of those things, but his acting won him the treats, so the joke is definitely on me.

Flashback to the look Indie would give me whenever I stopped petting him. 🥺

He loved riding shotgun so I could give him pets while driving. This time we were stopped in traffic and my hands were idle, neither driving nor petting him, so he gave me this sad, forlorn look. You can almost hear the violins. 🙄 😂

He's looking over at the driver (me) with his head is bowed, but his brown eyes are looking up at me with a sad little expression, hoping it'll make me pet him. We're stopped in traffic, so cars can been seen out the passenger window behind Indie, as well as blue sky, clouds, and trees.

This dual cat photo/selfie came out exactly as planned. I was cat-sitting Poppy when I noticed she was intrigued by the shutter clicks of my camera. So I put the camera on the balcony ledge she liked to balance on, used a remote trigger app on my phone. Put my head between Poppy and the camera and the remote trigger in my hand and started clicking away.

This #Caturday I'm thinking of my boys and thought I'd toot a photo of them as kittens in 2005. I adored these two. ❤️ ❤️

Calven (siamese) lived to be 16. Milo (tabby) lived to be 17. I miss them every day. 🌈

BUT I just submitted an application to adopt 4-year-old siblings (brother & sister)! They are sweet as ever, and I'm hoping I'm chosen to be their mom. Wish me luck!! 🙏

Two kittens – a siamese with bright blue eyes, and a tabby with green eyes – sit next to each other atop the back of a chair. The siamese has his paws folded underneath him, while the tabby's paws hang down the back of the chair. They're both looking in the same direction (to the left of the camera) with an expression of great interest and concentration. They're lit from the front by the window they're gazing out of (not seen in the photo), and they're backlit by a wall of windows behind them.

Can’t miss out on #WhiskersWednesday! Here’s Popoki with her white whiskers, all ready for her closeup. 😽❤️

Closeup photo of a calico kitty with green eyes and white whiskers, looking directly into the camera with a curious, relaxed expression.

Surround-sound head-tilt, puggy style. 🙃 🙂

I can always count on Gigi & Calvin to provide the highest quality head-tilts in the city (dare I say county? state? I could go on). ❤️

Two pugs, one black and one fawn, sit beside one another on a jute rug. One is tiling her head to the right and the other is tilting his head to the left, and both are looking at the photographer.

Can't pass up #WhiskerWednesday, so here's Bella in all her curvy-whiskered glory!

I've been taking care of Bella for about a decade now. I only pet sit her a few times each year (her dad doesn't travel very often), but every time I visit she's as sweet and cuddly as ever. One of the most precious kitties I've ever known! 😽 ❤️

Close up of a tabby cat with bright green eyes and curly white whiskers. She's facing the camera but looking off to the left with a curious expression on her face. She's illuminated from the light coming through the window on the left.

It's #Mondog and Day 19 of #ArtAdventCalendar, so of course I combined the two!

Here's my good buddy, Kenai, back when he was a puppy. He's happily showing me the stick he found... he was very excited about that stick! 😄 🐶

This was the winning photo in a pet portrait contest sponsored by The Dogist & Sony, so I'm quite proud of it.

A yellow labrador puppy looks straight into the camera with bright eyes and a big smile on his face. He has a stick in his mouth, and his right paw is hooked over the top the stick as if inviting us to play with him.

Day 12 of #ArtAdventCalendar falls on #Mondog, so how could I NOT post one of my favorite pooches of all time??

This is my daycare buddy, Beau. I took care of him for almost 10 years and we had so many adventures together! He passed in 2020 and boy do I miss him, but his memory lives on the hundreds of photos I took of him. ❤️

Here he is doing his best impression of Superman. I think he nailed it. 😄

A brindle pied French Bulldog in a red & black winter coat sits stoically on a park bench. He's looking off into the distance with a serious expression. The photo is taken from below, looking up at him, and the background is a vivid blue sky with wispy clouds, grass, tall pine trees, and water & mountains in the distance. He looks like Superman ready to take off to rescue someone.

The looks I get from Sizzle & Olive when I need to walk them, but it's cold and rainy outside. 🥺 🥺

It's a wonder I manage to get them outside at all during the winter months. They're convinced the rain will melt them like sugar lumps. 🙄

Two blond dachshunds are cuddled up together in a cozy, sherpa-lined blanket. They're looking up at the photographer (that'd be me) with pathetic, sorrowful expressions because they don't want to leave the comfort of their bed to go outside in the rain. Major puppy dog eyes pulling at the heart strings. They are WORKING it.

Little Gigi and I wish all of you wonderful Mastodonians a very good night (or good day, wherever in the world you happen to be)! 😴 😊

A little black pug is sound asleep on my chest with her arm stretched out in front of her and her head tilted to one side as she snoozes.

Happy Caturday from my precious little fur-niece, EmmaBella (we call her Bella)!

My sister adopted Bella and her sister Beatrix (whom we call Trixie) 3 years ago, and they’ve ruled the house ever since. 😄😽😽

A calico kitty with golden eyes and white fur along her chest, arms, and half of her face stared at the camera with curiosity. She’s comfy in her bed as she patiently poses with a sweet expression.

Meet Calvin. 🐶

This is Calvin's please-may-I-have-a-treat face. 🥺

It is very hard to resist. 😖

A fawn pug with big brown eyes and perky ears stares at the camera, bursting with anticipation.

Throwback photo of my sweet Milo. 😸

His expression here is basically “you know I hate that camera… why is it in my face?” He never liked being photographed, but he was such a beautiful boy, how I could I resist??

Mr Crankypants has been gone almost a year now, but I still miss him every day. ❤️

Closeup photo of a brown & black tabby cat with white whiskers, an orange nose, a white chest, and bright green eyes. He’s looking to the left of the camera (straight at the photographer, me) with an annoyed expression on his face.
