I admire your courage - a serious thread doesn't stand much of a chance up here the last couple of days.

I sent the photo of your "desk accessory" curled up in the sink to The Kat Lady - she appreciated that very much. Bandit is usually trying to help her type while Shadow sleeps on top the monitor - nice and warm up there.

Here is mine...out for a stroll...yes, that is a baby chicken riding on her back...she must be a vegetarian...(actually she loves chicken - LOL!)


She likes to take over my lap when I'm on the PC...sometimes likes to crawl on the keyboard...

 

[KellyTheChef]

Both of those pics are adorable!
Janet- how in the world did the cat get a baby chick on her back?!?!?!?

 

[letscook04]

I can't believe that your cat lets the baby chick stay on it's back. LOL

My daughter had a mom and dad chicken that had a baby (Flower) she named it...the cat we adopted 6 months prior from the shelter at age 11...she is such a sweet old kitty. Well, Flower was out playing with Sammie (Flower was 9 days old)...hopped on Asher's back and they hung out for awhile...I have a few pictures of them. This one one "the cutest pet picture" at my work picnic last year...

 

[janetupnorth]

Oh, the sad part was a fox got the chickens a few weeks later...so we got the babies shown on the left in that picture...they lasted until fall then a cougar got those...we're done with chicken for awhile...at least through winter...

Aww how sad! My aunt and uncle & their 5 kids are very involved with the kids' activities, and what started out as a 4H project, ended up with a "chicken farm!" ....I think they have about 16 adult chickens now.... but yeah, they have had problems with foxes..... my cousins were SO upset!

 

[letscook04]

OH so said!! You have cougers roaming around??

Considering where you work, that's quite an accomplishment!

 

[Chef Kearns]

foxes...cougars...where the heck do you live girl? What kind of wilderness... My goodness. I wouldn't be worried about the chickens I would be finding a realtor!

 

[jenniferknapp]

OH so said!! You have cougers roaming around??

I forgot to comment on that....SCARY! I couldn't live there!! I am freaking out because I think I have a bobcat behind my house (darn snow, you can see all of the tracks!!)

 

[janetupnorth]

We have 1 cougar that showed up recently...been spotted within a 5-10 mile radius in our area...usually only deer, bears and the silver fox that has been around. The cougar was a new thing this fall...scared me a bit when I saw the prints in the first snowfall...we've also had a bobcat spotted too... I hope our "wonderful" DNR takes care of them...KG would understand my sarcasm there...

We're just in the "normal" northwoods of Wisconsin. Near Rhinelander, not really "in the boonies" but animals get out of their "normal" area a lot it seems...

 

[janetupnorth]

Considering where you work, that's quite an accomplishment!

Why, thank you...I suppose it is...lots of "pets" around!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

You just need to have your bosses make a big enough donation to Diamond Jim's funds to get it taken care of.It worked for Dennis Troha.

It worked for Dennis Troha.

They'd probably rather go hunt it themselves...they are quite "scarce" around here during hunting seasons (the bosses that is...)

So Carolyn, back to your baby, er desk accessory...

What is his/her name?????

 

[janetupnorth]

...and I bet you can't buy that one with all your free office supply points, coupons, etc. LOL!

Here's DH's desk buddy:

The drawing in the background (green and yellow) is me. I was a model for the art department in college.Yeah- I was a nude model. What's it to you?

Is that why it is "partially covered"????

 

[chefann]

No, it's partially covered because DH was too lazy to put a new hanger in the wall, and used the one the previous owner had there. And that's the only place the bookcase fits in the room.

 

[janetupnorth]

What kind of husband won't take the time to put a new hanger on the wall to see his wife naked?????

 

[chefann]

Um... it's not exactly photo-realistic. It's yellow and green, for Pete's sake! And it's mostly back and leg.
Nothin' good.

Yeah, I suppose that puts a damper on it...

So Carolyn, back to your baby, er desk accessory...

What is his/her name?????

LOL - her name is Suki. You remember when my Great-Aunt was killed in the car wreck right before Thanksgiving? Well Suki was her cat. When she died, Suki went to live with my Great Aunt's brother, Uncle Morty. A few weeks later there was a fire in Uncle Morty's building and they were evacuated. Uncle Morty was to be living in a hotel for a few months while the building was repaired and Suki was sent to a shelter. There was no way we were leaving Aunt Marion's cat in s shelter so we had her shipped down here and she's been with me ever since. She has taken to me like a lifelong friend - she sleeps practically nose to nose with me - I love her so much!!

 

[chefann]

She's pretty. Sorry about hijacking your thread, Carolyn.

Aww....I wasn't here until the end January - sorry to hear of the family tragedy...that was our year in 2006 - 5 deaths in a month including my dad and aunt...

So glad you could adopt her and she loves you....
