Another type of Vintage - long time companion furbabies

Great photos. Makes me miss my 3 pound babies (all 3 are gone): Lulu (orange tabby - she was about 13 and had possible IBS), Penny (blue and white tabby - about 16 [old age]) and Midnight (black - she was about 8 and contracted FIP).
I would love to get another pair, but we want to travel for a few years and don't want to worry about cat care.

I'm a sucker for pet photos and stories. Especially since it gives me a chance to show off mine!
Here's my favorite picture of my two big boys together. Pookie and Pumpkin. We lost Pookie last year at age 14 (IBS that probably led to cancer). Pumpkin is now 13 and is in treatment for large-cell lymphoma, but the prognosis isn't very good even though he has responded to treatment. Just loving him while I have him. They took very good care of me.

OH...now I'm sad...I just lost my "Star Baby," a few weeks ago. Here's a pic of her (Top) and also her sister, "MJ," aka "Wiggles," (below.) I also have a new pup, "Lucy," but no pics of her yet. Will post soon.

Tammi I really think she barks at the machines because she sees me playing with them and in her little mind should be able to play with them to. I did but a head down on the floor to see what she would do and she tried to play with it like it was another little dog. It was so funny to watch her reaction when it would not play back. She just sat down beside the machine and looked at it like what the "H" is wrong with this thing. She did keep her eye on it and I think she was waiting for it to move. It was a hoot.

I don't know how to load photos on this new computer yet, so I'll just tell you about one of my 5 dogs. Molly is a 10 year old Golden Retriever that some idiot abandoned in the summer of 2010, she was 5 then. She has been the sweetest dog ever, knows no strangers. Unfortunately she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, has a large vascular mass on the left side of her neck; she not in pain right now. She's not eating but 1/2 of her usual dinner and is getting thin. https://www.flickr.com/photos/391684...57638104137516 Sharon in Texas

Posting pics is the same on all the platforms I've tried - click the button I circled in blue and upload. If the photo is too big, it will give a really non-intuitive error message - resize it and repost. Easier done on a PC or a Mac than say an iPad. It works this way on all of the devices I use which run the gamut of PCs with Windows (various flavors) and Linux, Android, and iOS (i.e. iPhone/iPad) so I suspect your photos have gotten too big and you're getting errors because I know you've posted pics in the past?
Molly is gorgeous! I have a soft spot for the larger breeds. I don't know how people can treat them so badly and abandon them. She's very lucky to have you!

Hey Cindy, I didn't mean for the thread to make people sad. I will say that the hurt does fade but the good memories remain. For months, I was a wreck when I lost Gizmo but now I only smile when I think of her. MJ looks like she found a mud puddle to play in. I do want to see pics of Lucy too!

melmerr1, your dog may not have had a stroke. there is a disease called "old dog vestibular disease". It's a balance
problem and more common in older dogs but can happen to younger dogs, too. one of my dogs had it and that's why i researched it. her head leaned to one side and she walked with a stagger. the good news is it goes away by itself and causes no permanent damage. you can google it to get more information.

I am still having trouble uploading photos that are apparently too large and don't know how to reduce them, so can't show you my Tucker as quilt inspector. However, here he is in fabric, and the picture that inspired the block. (The preview shows them too large... I will find out what happens when I hit the "post" button...)

Yes, we've lost a few along the way. Every one we've ever had were dogs (or cats) that someone dumped on our doorstep. Within the first year after we built this house in 2000, there were an additional two that were literally dumped on our doorstep. One was part poodle, part maltese, and was the sweetest little dog I've ever known. We lot "Little Bit" in the China contaminated food mess about nine years ago. He was dark gray, light gray, black, brown -- a little bit of everything. He was attacked and severely injured by the dog up the street. It cost us over $1,000 to get him healed up. Little Bit was the smartest and most obedient dog I've ever had. The next rescue was little "Buddy" who survived the longest of the three we had -- he had a malignant grown close to the heart and despite the expenditure of quite a few $$$$$$$, and many tears, we couldn't save him. I have pictures of them somewhere around here, but I've got so much of my Aunt's junk (stuff) dumped in my house I hardly have room to walk through it. If my back ever gets better (please God) I'm going to get rid of a lot of this stuff (junk)! Whatever, LOL!
