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?
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?

Captain Q approves. 
Here are two kittens I am keeping of a 4 kitten litter I saved from living a
life as feral cats; named Tenshi and Quark. I found them while feeding some
feral cats. They were too young to capture right away, around 5 weeks, so I
pre-socialized them on the outside with wet food and playing with a cat favorite
toy, the fake bird on a string and stick. Had to do it at night as apartment
management disapproves of feeding the feral cats. Took some night vision video,
that I have not gotten around to editing yet.
Just noticed that the picture is rotated the wrong way, will leave it as is,
because it amuses me.
Regards,
Captain Q

Looks like they've got a good life, now.
How you brought them into your life. I gotta say you're a very patient man,
Quinton
Very cool names, too!

We still have three cats and assorted reptiles and amphibians in our house!
Our two black cats were rescues from the shelter when they were kittens. They
are supposed to belong to my teen daughter but they follow me around the house

I remember you having a big family, Frank. 15+ years... he must of been a major
part of the kid's growing-up years. How'd they take his needing to be
put down?

We won't tell! I signed something once, to encourage local spay & neuter
programs over a candlelit spaghetti dinner for frisky furballs, but

my ID pic (just much older).
Here's one for John:

So sorry for the loss of your pet. Or should I say family member. Death
touches all in different ways. When it comes to a pet it lingers with you for
ever. But time does help to think of the companionship and the love between
the two of you and what was added to your life.

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
