Admittedly I’m no expert, but I actually think that these two are different species! The one in the front has a yellow bill, which would make it a great egret, while the one in the back has a black one, which makes it a snowy (or a hybrid of some kind maybe?)
I was on my way home from hitting the farmer’s market and Costco and the wine store on the bus today — there’s a bus stop right near Costco and the wine store for the bus that stops 20 feet from my apartment, yay! — and I ran across this sassy little kitten. His name is Toulouse, for Henri Toulouse-Latutrec of course, and he is three months old and was on his way to the vet for some childhood vaccines. He was pretty calm, thanks to some kitty drugs, but definitely wanted to go exploring.
I am not sure I have ever seen a Coton de Tulear who wasn’t all white before. Olive is a 6-year-old tricolor coton, according to mom, but apparently all her brown faded out. I know dogs go grey (like me!) but I didn’t know just one of their colors could fade. Weird!
Umi (6) is awesome: a story in five pictures. No need for hovertext or captions for this one, the pictures tell the whole story.
I didn’t get this beast’s name and details, but I do remember that I said ‘That’s a baby bat!’ and his mom said that that was what she called him, so obviously I’m not the only one who noticed the resemblance.
This is Jeviz! He’s 11, and is a full standard schnauzer, just schnauzing up the place.
Turkeys are large!
Willie is only 15 weeks old, but Willie is, as dad says, already ‘getting kind of big for the backpack’. Willie is going to be LARGE!
Wandered by the ‘yoga with puppies’ place last Saturday on my way to the Farmer’s Market and caught sight of these two having a Moment.
Poor Stevie (3) was quite thoroughly nommed on by another dog recently. She got several stitches and the cone of shame. Happily, it has not changed her attitude one bit!
