Post A Picture of Your Pets and/or Yourself

[Johnny Pneumatic]

Here is my pet golden gecko Midas http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-8/808504/midas009.jpg This is me. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-8/808504/me.jpg

The formatting is a little off with the picture labels. I can't tell which one is you.

What's that gecko doing to that mirror? :damn:

[viscousmemories]

Cute gekko porn. :yup:

[LadyShea]

I posted my furkids here (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=313&page=1&pp=25&highlight=pets). Those are somewhat old, but the dogs look the same just fatter. And Aurora's pink collar was traded for a white one with red hearts...she's daddy's :princess: .

I don't have any recent pictures of me...mostly because I haven't allowed any pictures to be taken of me recently.

[viscousmemories]

Oops, I just noticed the "and/or yourself" in the title. Didja know we already have a pretty active photo gallery (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1244) thread, SkepticJ? Might wanna post your pic over there if you haven't.

[Weaselboots]

I have the best pet photo but the bloody scanner is crap :fuming:

I saw on the other thread that Livius has :ferret2: YAY
We have two of the carpet sharks. Albino Demi aka Evil White Worm (if she had opposable thumbs we would all be her minions) and Guinness, cause he is black, cream and thick.
They are the funniest creatures, they make me laugh so much.
Will beat the scanner up so it works and post a pic.

[SharonDee]

There won't be any pictures of me because I'm very sensitive about my appearance. However, I love showing pictures of m'girls.

Here's Miss Lucy, who is deathly afraid of the camera flash (among other things). I had to sneak this one while Hubster held onto her.

Here's Nikki, who sees every creature she meets as a potential playmate. This is a rare quiet moment for her.

Awwww. Cute puppies. :)

[RevDahlia]

SkepticJ, that is one handsome gecko. He looks like the gecko who lives on our porch, except yours is much fancier. Ours is sort of an honorary pet, I guess; his name is McManus. There's also one who scoots around on our front window at night, who we call Fenster. (Multipartite lame joke.)

I don't have a digital camera so I can't post pictures of my pets, alas. In addition to the geckos we have a tubby little bug-eyed tuxedo cat with a disproportionately wide ass and a teeny head. Her name is Pie and she strongly resembles one of those early-60s cat clocks.

My pic is in the Photos thread; I'm a tall, oblong human with a rapidly expanding ass and a normal-sized head. I do not resemble any timepiece that I'm aware of.

[Godless Dave]

Translation: RevDahlia is a hot babe.

A beer-guzzling pic of me is posted in the mug shots thread. But here's Nissa, my baby:

Hot? Yeah, I guess it's a little stuffy in here. I haven't been a babe for about 24 years, though.
A beer-guzzling pic of me is posted in the mug shots thread. But here's my baby:
OMG, she looks just like Fish, my favorite cat of all time! Fish has exactly the same configuration of stripes on his forearms. Aw.

[Godless Dave]

No offense intended. From now on I'll use a less sexist term, like bootylicious chick, maybe.

I'll stop digging now.

I love Nissa's stripes, and her black paws, and rust-colored highlights in black, brown, and gray hair, and her white chin. Actually I'd love her no matter what she looked like.

[Godless Dave]

Nissa the hypno-cat commands you! Pet me! Dispense treats! Be still so I can sleep on your lap!

Hehe. I have to agree with Dave, you are a striking beauty.

[godfry n. glad]

This is Hobbes, currently the only household pest at Ravenswood.

He is a schmoozer and a snoozer. His favorite activity is eating fishy treats. His second favorite activity is synchrosnoozing with dad. He also likes to spend nice days pet-slutting on the front walk.

I'll look around and see if I can find any full body pix of me, so everybody can admire my orangoutang physique....okay....there. Me at Daikokuji in Kyoto. If I could provide you a profile, you'd be wondering why I'm smuggling around a basketball under my shirt.

I remember freemonkey being a striking beauty, but I must have missed RevDahlia. Where's her pic?

Awww, he is adorable. I had a kitten named Hobbes just before we got our pups, but alas, we took him back to Ohio during a break from college and he had a run-in with my mother-in-law's car. :( He was the cutest, fluffiest little ball o' fur you ever did see....:(


Anyway, I've posted this before but it's the only shot I have in digital form of my pups. Spike (the white/brown one) is a bit fatter and had a strange ear infection that made them wrinkly and folded, so he's a bit worse for the wear but otherwise the same. Koojo looks exactly the same; she's a girl who knows how to take care of her figure. ;)

Well, I've lost track of where I posted the pic of little Siren the day she was adopted from the Humane Society...but here she is a mere few months later chillin' with me on a slow and lazy day.

:relax:

[TomJoe]

I posted a picture of my Boomster somewhere else, but I'll put another picture of her here. Being a black dog (part black lab, part sneaky neighbors dog) she is tough to photograph (at least for me)... all I ever seem to get is glowing eyes and a blur of fur...

Hey, godfry, great photo.

...where are you in that picture?

Are those real bamboo handrails?

I'm a big fan of wandering off on nature trails and traveling to different zoos around the country.

I'm hoping to go to the St. Louis zoo this summer after a trip up to the cabins in Gatlinburg.

:tree4:

Alright, already...where's there a hiking smilie guy?

It wasn't the sexism of the term that inspired my snarky response, it was the blatant inaccuracy.

I love her too. She's making me miss my Fishie.

Just look for the guy in the red shirt.

Yes, those are real bamboo handrails. In the background is the bamboo forest that the Zen monks use for construction materials for upkeep on the Daikokuji (Great Pavilion Garden) compound. It's reputedly the most famous of the Zen gardens in Japan and the source of the raked pebble gardens. It's in Kyoto, Japan.

I don't care for zoos, but I do visit a lot of national parks and I'm a big sucker for gardens. Kyoto is replete with some of the most contemplative little public gardens and temple grounds tucked away in surprising places throughout the intensely developed urban area.

[Roland98]

Cute viscious beasts, Rollie. I'd be afeared for my life in your vicinity.

They do think they're guard dogs, unfortunately. Spike went after some kind of giant mutt at the vet once because it came running out of the office in my general direction. You could almost see that the big dog was amused at this little dog-thing barking and growling ferociously.

Hobbes thinks they look like right tasty little snacks.


Yeah, pretty sad when some of the squirrels are bigger than Koojo.

And you wanna see some snacks, you should've seen our puppies (this was at 6 weeks old; newborn, they were mouse-sized).

Awwwwww....a sampler tray. Hobbes says you really didn't have to... :wink:

Hobbes has been top cat in the neighborhood for some years now. It's only now that he's garnered a new male who's scrapping with him over territory. I suspect his reign is nearing an end...but he's eleven, so it's not surprising. During his reign of benevolent tyrrany, he's amused himself by taunting the local neighbor dogs (an Australian shepard and a Siberian husky) who are kept indoors during the day. I think he considers himself an artist...one who works in canine mucous on glass. He just strolls back and forth on the window ledge outdoors with that smug, "I'm outside and your not," look on his face, with the dog lunging at the window and covering it with noseprints and drool. Luckily the dog owners think Hobbes is cute.

Out of doors, when Hobbes meets a typical canine, he tries to act nonchalant. He was a street cat who adopted us, but I'd bet he shared a household with a dog, given his response to most dogs. If one does the little lunge and bark routine to get Hobbes to run, he doesn't run, he turns and stalks directly toward the crass interloper, causing considerable canine consternation.

He's gotten along reasonably well with the cavalcade of bunnies and was a real buddy to Hazel, our indoor/outdoor mini-lop.

[Skep]

Here's a pic of my little pal, Buddy. He's the bestest little doggie. I only wish he loved me as much as he loves his stomach. :D

Where do you live that you have large wild geckos living around your home? India? Golden Geckos are from Vietnam. Maybe what you've seen isn't a true golden gecko, or they've been introduced. I envy you. :gecko:

Alas, not India. Austin, TX. Our geckos aren't that large, maybe about three inches long, and they're more pink than yours. Also their eyes are brown or black, not red. I didn't think they were actually golden geckos, but there's a strong family resemblance. I should really get a digital camera, so we can compare and contrast.

They're so cute. I love the little suckers on their toes.

Sounds good. Midas is about 8-9 ins. long. I'll have to get a ruler up against him/her now. I say him/her because I don't know. Reptiles keep their "bits and pieces" inside you see. I'm not going to get tweezers and a magnifying glass to check.

His/her eyes aren't red, they just look that way in the photo. They are mid-brownish with little black specks. I don't have a lense good enough to take a photo that close yet.

Not suckers, something even more amazing. It's heavy on the science since it's a lab, so the terms may not be familiar if you're a non-scientist--> http://www.lclark.edu/~autumn/dept/
Maybe in about six, eight years you can climb the walls like Spider-Man, if you're into climbing that is. I love rock and tree climbing, must be the primate genes. :D

I'll be going to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (http://www.nps.gov/grsm/) at the end of March. A friend of mine hooked me up with a log cabin in Gatlinburg and I hope to take in as much of the natural beauty of the place as possible.

I'm a big fan of zoos and botanical gardens. Maybe I'll start a thread later on the pros and cons of zoos.

Here's is a pic of me at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans a few ago (I'm a member there and appreciate how much of the money goes to education and conservation efforts).

[Ensign Steve]

Here's me. I don't have any good pictures of my dog to upload right now.

I've been there, very nice place. I went in Nov. on the way back home(sort of) from Florida. It was freakin' freezing at this lookout tower we walked up to. The wind must have been blowing 20-40mph. I saw a black bear with two cubs and wild turkeys.

I've heard nothing but good things about the area.

:yup:

I'm hoping that the cold and miserable weather will have given way to spring by the time I get up there. The cabin does have satellite, a pool table and both an indoor and outdoor hottub, but I'd rather be able to get out and about...maybe ride a horse and just meander through the park area.

You bet. I spent four days there in May and burned a fair amount of film. I visited Kinkokuji, Ginkokuji, Nanzenji, the Heian Temple, wandered the Imperial Palace grounds (but could not get in to the palace), and thoroughly enjoyed Nijo Castle, the home of the Shogun for centuries. I had two years of college Japanese thirty years ago, and I was surprised how much I could pick up. I stayed in the HI hostel in eastern Kyoto, near the Heian Temple, and got around by subway and bus...it was surprisingly easy. It's very clean and safe. What I enjoyed was just wandering the city. It's a very busy and tightly packed city, but every now and then there are like single or double lots that are just solitary little Shinto temples...the torii give it away. Beautiful plantings squeezed into tight little minature gardens.

Kyoto is a special place and an international heritage site. I highly recommend it. I stayed in Osaka one night. That I don't recommend. Not because it's dangerous or anything. It's just stinkin' boring.

You got questions, fire away. I'd be glad to tell you about my experiences.

Sounds real decent. That's that place the Ronnie the Prez was talking about when he said that trees polluted, isn't it?

I went through it in the middle of the night on my way from Nashville to Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

I've seen the northern extension of the same mountains in the Cape Breton Highlands Natonal Park (http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/ns/cbreton/natcul/index_E.asp) in Nova Scotia. We were there in October, just as the park was closing up. The foliage was in full glory of autumn. I recommend that highly. (There's a HI hostel in Mabou, on the south end of Cape Breton Island.)

I also highly, highly recommend driving (or bicycling, for the hard core) the Columbia Icefields Parkway (www.pacificislandtravel.com/north_america/ canada/about_destin/alberta/icefieldsparkway.html ), that includes Banff and Jasper National Parks in Alberta. The Going-to-the-Sun Road through Glacier National Park (http://www.nps.gov/glac/photos.htm) in Montana is another highly recommended traverse. Either of these locales (and they are about 150 miles apart) has ample hiking and camping opportunities.

I'm beyond backpacking any more, but I'd like to try pack asses into the Eagle Cap Wilderness (http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/w-w/recreation/recreation-map.shtml) of the Wallowa Mountains near Hell's Canyon of the Snake River that forms part of the border between Idaho and Oregon.

I do more city tramping these days. Stuff like Kyoto, Samarqand, St. Petersburg, Ville de Quebec, Amsterdam, Brugge, Penzance, Halifax....that kinda stuff. I'd like to do New Orleans some day, but I dislike hot, humid places. I guess I'd have to do it sometime in early spring....You'd know, when would you recommend that a nor'wester who dislikes humid heat visit "the South"?

Come down Nov - April if you want to avoid the real oppressive humidity. That's when my parents come over from SoCal for the very same reason.

I don't mind the heat and humidity too much and rather enjoy the sub-tropical feel while adventuring around.

If you ever do decide to make the trip, godfry, get with me and I'll take some time off and show you some of the sights.

You're within shoutin' distance of New Orleans? Wow...watch what you say.

I can understand those who like the tropics, I'd like to be able to go to Bali and snorkel the Java Sea. But my body does not like it, my exploring tends to be temperate and edging toward the poles, rather than equator.

I'm currently trying to decide between a barge/auto trip through the Pyranees and southern France (Provence and Langedoc) and a hopscotch trip of tramping the cities of central Europe: Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest...and....I dunno, maybe some other city like Krakow, Ljubljana or Trieste. (Anybody have recommendations regarding Slovenia, Croatia or Bosnia-Herzgovina?) My girlfriend wants to do cruising in the Mediterranean. The Greek Isles and the Turkish coast do have a certain attraction....I can go in search of Mithras; visit the Temple in Eluesia and trod the cobbles of the Parthenon.

I wasn't looking for permission, but guidance.

I think if we have a lot of travel stuff, it's going to get very cluttered on that one thread. We can multiply the threads dealing with travel issues, but I was wondering whether we might not benefit from a subforum in Lifestyles specifically for travel.

Now, given that the activity on the one thread has not been overwhelming, maybe we just need to proliferate threads until such time that it would clearly be a benefit to add a subforum...or not.

What kind of a general budget was necessary to make the trip? Were you already comfortable with the area to make your way around or did you have a guide to assist you?

How did the general population treat you (especially in this day and age)?

What was the best moment you had on your trip?

So...to rid this thread of our derail, I've taken this to a new thread (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=38338#post38338) in Lifestyles.

Feel free to ask for clarification or pose additional questions.

Also, what kind of pictures do you want to see?

Yay! I have higher resolution pictures of my new baby pooch. Arf! Here's Caesar!

Edit: Okay, what the fuck! Nobody else's pictures get all pixellated like that when they upload them to the board. *pout*

Edit again: Good call, YB. Let's try it again.

The file sizes shown for those pictures are 29k and 34k, respectively. That seems a bit small for the dimensions they display at. Perhaps there is a maximum file size for attachments and the pictures loose resolution in the process? What size are the original photos?

[LadyShea]

They aren't pixlated for me. Damn, JD, is that a cute frickin' dog!

[Ensign Steve]

Yah, I fixed it. My 2nd edit and Ymir's Blood's post read in reverse order.

He acts a lot like Duck! He likes to greet me and hold my hand the same way Duck does. :)

What a great old girl Rosie was, Carla, and the Big Booper totally looks like the king of all he surveys.

Your new baby is squealingly adorable, JD.

I used to have a great picture of my dog on my computer, but I can't find it at the moment.

What was your dog doing on your computer?

I think we need to prevail upon liv to create a travel subform.

I'll see what she has to say. I'd hate to lead this thread that far off track, because when I get started talking about travelling, I can burn up bandwidth.


We don't need liv's permission to start a travel thread (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=38197#post38197).




I wasn't looking for permission, but guidance.

I think if we have a lot of travel stuff, it's going to get very cluttered on that one thread. We can multiply the threads dealing with travel issues, but I was wondering whether we might not benefit from a subforum in Lifestyles specifically for travel.

Now, given that the activity on the one thread has not been overwhelming, maybe we just need to proliferate threads until such time that it would clearly be a benefit to add a subforum...or not.

I made a similar suggestion once at II, but it was never implemented. There'd been a few threads about what to do in certain locations. I thought it'd be a good idea to have them all in one place where people could easily go look for information about a particular area of the world. One subforum devoted strictly to travel related threads is, IMHO, a great idea.

OK, back to the pet pictures, now!

Contrary to popular belief, my posts do not contain backmasking. :pbjnana:
