Gorgeous cat Al.

We have 3 rescues....one came from Spain of all places. Looks a bit like Ripley...perhaps she has some Spanish roots :)

I just recently adopted a 1-year-old cat named Ripley.  However, she seems to have turned into a liquid.

As long as she doesn't turn into an Xenomorph you're safe.

For gaming : Old World, DCS World, Distant World 2 or any other game with World in the name.

Looks like Ripley is striking the Playboy feline centerfold pose.

Cute cat. We rescued a puppy recently and he also has the ability to turn into liquid.

Well done JH.

Gotta go "Rescue" 👍

Stunning dog . Very photogenic !

Very handsome little pup!

Adorable dog stuff

Mrs. wanted to foster dogs as a "bucket list," sort of thing.  So far, we've only let *one go to another family like fosters should as I'm the stupid, fat, softy who just can't let that happen (have had 5 up to this point - most of the kept ones were seniors who we spoiled until they passed).

Love dogs, but am a horrible foster parent.

*-Seriously, that dog was an asshole.

I'll take an asshole dog over an asshole human any day.

Fucker was fully on the "bite that guy when he isn't looking," route and that was not going to change, but I dig what you are saying.

^Hahaha ok that's a problem

Yeah, and I hate it.  I get along with animals and children as a rule, and to have a dog take a large dislike for me was off-putting.

Can count on one hand-ish the number of dogs that wanted a piece of me and that guy was one of them.

On the plus side, he was adopted by a couple and had a good life up until one of those brain eating water-born parasites claimed him around two years after he was adopted.

-okay, the last bit there wasn't  a "plus side," thing in hindsight.

Uhh...yeesh.

Are you sure it was not 'playful nips?'

After our Rottie died we got a Swiss Mountain Dog - little bigger than a Rottie but smaller than a St. Bernard. He's a giant dufus at about 125 pounds and totally spoiled and I have a love/hate relationship with him. He's 7.

He gives 'playful nips' that we learned from breeders are just really how he shows love. Never breaks the skins, literally just a nip letting you know he's there and he loves you.

Good points.  Coming off a deployment, my +\- for stuff was off but damned if that dude didn't want a piece of me.  Playful nips I got/get but lunging bites from my rear...well...

Put it down to wrong place at wrong time for all involved, but I'm certain dude would have bitten me if I hadn't been similarly aggressive in return, but I'm not proud of that.

Latest male adpotee has an aggressive biting play bit that I'm fine with as he shows his boundaries and I respect that and we both go to our corners just fine.  Guy will seek me out to play with/be around and we're cool.

That's what you get when you call your dog Fucker 8).

^Is it Father's Day for you every day?

It's taken me two days, but I've finally worked out what you mean ;D
