I love the lighting on Tess, the way her whiskers show, and the personality in Maizy's photos,
Enjoy

Here's one of mama's little baby! http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=144352&cat=500&ppuser=67482

[sandygb]

Well....I just gotta have that posting bonus of Becky's, so I'll be back with my layout!!!!

[dapupsmom]

Oh, this is right up my alley! I'm not called da-pups-mom for nothing! Ummm...does my hubby count as a pet? It takes about the same amount of touble, whoops, I mean time, to take care of him, as it does the pups.:D

[Maikku]

Yay this is right up my alley. Kitty lo coming right up......

[PacificTonz]

Oh yeah - I love your challenges and my fur babies are one of my favourite things to scrap, can't wait to dedicate some new pages to them....off to start working on it

[joannknnrd]

Okay, here's Lily!

[ArcaneFaery]

Where's Cheechongfun? Someone's gotta tell her!!!!

[webfrau]

Do dead pets count too? I'm a bit short on live ones.

[sandygb]

ROTF....Oh Julia....your comment probably wasn't intended to be funny, but it did make me laugh.....

[PacificTonz]

Here is my layout of my fur baby Mocha (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=145705&cat=500&ppuser=64671). She is such a personality but she generally doesn't take good photos as she always looks a bit bedraggled and stunned. Her 'twin' Simba is the poser, hence he has twice as many photos and layouts.

[dawn-in-nz]

Here's my first LO - I'm sure I have other photos somewhere, just can't find them! In reply to your query Julia - I've used photos of dead pets but mine just don't last longer than a few years at the most - you'll see why in a moment!

[pspcandee]

Thanks so much ladies....what a neat surprise this was. But what I really have loved is all of your nice comments on my lo, and the relationship my wacky animals have with each other. Aside from my cockatoo and the the two sweety pups in the pic, I also have a cat who's HUGE, three times the size of my little dog in fact. The bird and HER are friends too. She'll chase birds outside but for some reason, I just don't think she realizes that Ootie is a bird...lol. It's not uncommon for all four of them to lay together on my bed sleeping, and that includes the bird!! She lays all snuggled under the fur of my Chow and goes right to sleep. Weird huh?? That I'm trying to get a pic of but they hear me turn the camera on and everyone scatters...lol.

Thank you again for picking me randomly...hehe.

[MarsOlson]

pspcandee I'm so glad you liked the beautiful backpack by Becky Soto. She donated it to OddsnEnds as a posting bonus. :)

Wowie thank you. I've only just found this after being away in Australia for a few weeks then coming back to find out my foot was broken after all (I did it on the 4 Nov but no one thought it was broken until I finally had an x-ray).
I'm now trying to move around with a very heavy Moon Boot (now I know why they are called Moon Boots!) so this has really made my day and indeed my xmas - thank you. :clap: :yahoo: :dance: :santa1: :tup:
