  Well, not strictly my pet. Her name is Stray (because I refuse to name her).
A pretty rough family moved away and left her behind around six years ago. Since
then she has spent most of her life on my bed or on top of me.


  I would really like to see more pics of our member’s pet. What do you think about
showing or introduce your animal companion to the BL membership here on the forum?

She may not be your pet, but judging from the pic, she sure looks like a well
loved family member. Thank you caring and saving this beautiful baby.

She's lovely!

I think Stray is as good a name as any other. It's a reminder of where she
came from, and your role in taking care of her

Thanks, Stu

I suggest a new forum subtopic, under Off Topic: Pets

Anecdotes and/or pics of your pets? Maybe of interrupting your lego work or other
mischief. Or just an introduction of your nonhuman companion, new or old. What
your pet did today

Even though we don't have furry companions (son's allergies) we really
enjoy animal pics and stories. Think most do, evidenced by it's popularity
on youtube.

What do think? Think there is enough interest to warrant a sub-topic in the forum?

I think it's a great idea! I love my fur family, which has grown into 6
dogs and 1 cat, all rescues from terrible conditions. The only place off limits
is the Lego room, otherwise they rule the roost.

Awesome! Much respect Darcy, for taking-in and caring for so many rescue animals.
Placed your store on our favorites list, I like to support people such as yourself.

I've gotta know, though How does the lone cat fare among the 6 dogs?

BTW, I really like your store's Splash page, beautiful!

-Cory

Thank you Cory! LOL, as for Kita Kitty, if anyone ever told him he wasn't
a dog, he'd probably be devastated.

  He's been with dogs since he was a few hours old, vet said he'd never survive and the kindness thing would be to euthanize him, yeah, wasn't happening. While we humans did the feeding,
dogs took care of the messy part. Now he's a healthy adult and a full blown member of the pack.

I love this! He is beautiful, and you are beautiful, Darcy! (regardless of my
bias, my youngest sister being named Darcy)


  Uses the doggy door to potty, no kitty litter here ewww, and doesn't leave the fenced yard. Fears no one, except my 4 lb, Chi, but everybody fears him, so no surprise there.

It's always the smallest ones! It's the "Napoleon complex" for dogs

Back to your original suggestion, I'd like to reiterate, I think it's
a great idea. I learned more about some of my fellow members in 1 day, than
I have in the 15 years I've been here. Obviously everyone here has a love
for Lego, but your pet idea is a great ice breaker. Most members only come here
when they have a question, problem or complaint. Your suggestion would give
interested members a place to take a break, especially from sorting (sigh), lighten
the mood a little and get to know each other a little better.

A beautiful cat. Great job saving his life. Never give up on saving a life.
I got a kitten at one day old and saved her.
John P

Is that her in your profile pic? Looks like she feels very safe & content, thank
you for saving her. Wish more people would realize their lives have value and
learn to be more responsible.

Animal rescue has become very important to me, especially with the shelters being
overwhelmed and the number of healthy animals being euthanized every day. Not
to mention abuse cases/dumping happening in record numbers. Personally, I know
I can't afford to take on anymore and still give them the proper care they
need and deserve. So myself, and a bunch of others in the same situation donate
each month to pay the fees for at risk animals in a local kill shelter. Once
the fees are covered they become eligible for free adoptions or to be pulled
by a rescue. Not ideal by any means, but we're able to save some. Just
a thought to anyone who might read this, there are ways to help, you can advocate
to raise awareness, donate to your local shelter, foster, if you see something
say something, adopt don't shop and above all else spay/neuter. Now that
I sound like an infomercial I'll stop talking.

Darcy

All good points, Darcy.

John & his wife, have been committed to helping the homeless cat population in
his area for some time now. He is what I would call a warrior of that cause.
For cats anyway.
