That's terrible!

On a related note, a friend of mine has a rather grouchy grey tabby that fought off a coyote once.
Her name is Millie and she hates just about everyone. Scary cat.

Fought off a coyote? Holy shit. Them things're tough as hell. I lost a cat to a coyote once.

I should post a pic of the sheltie we had for 14 years. He was so big, people thought he was a small collie.

Post your pets? Won't they get stuck in the mailbox?

The above post had to happen some time or other.

Ginger's brother is way over sized and is offten mistaken for a collie (his name is Bear) Ginger is around 14 inches tall at the sholder, while Bear is 25 inches tall at the sholder. That's a big sheltie.....

oh and what Peppermint said.. "DOOO EEET!!!"

The right combination of alcohol and boredom helps...

But I do wish I had a pet. Was almost going to get a golden retriever... but that fell through.

This is my bunny, Nibbles. She died recently, but she was a very good pet and she'll always be in my heart.

She was such a sweetie.

I'm quite surprised that it took as long as it did.

ok, as promised, here are the pics of all my pets:

from school-

my fishies, Kurt and Pitr (not pictured, Hank)

the silly birds that moved into my window

one of my loyal squirrel hench creatures, seen eating the oreos that I smuggle out to them regularly

back at home:

our cranky old cat Smokey Joe, known to take down phesants and tree foxes.

our year-old female cat Frodo we adopted, missing is a picture of her mother Kirara, I couldn't track her down today. the two of them look just like each other (actually Frodo is a bit bigger) and while they fight over dominence, typically get along great. nothing quite like a mother cat play fighting with her offspring.

our GIGNORMOUS dog Jack, left in my mom's car one Sunday night five years ago and part of the family since.

some of my mom's chickens.

and finally, drumroll....

our newly adopted puppy Guinness!!!

aww....

Was she an inspiration for character?

perhaps I should clarify what I mean by "tree foxes". I am not refering to a new species of fox that lives in trees, I am refering to "tree" as a verb, as in chase a fox up a tree and then prowl about the bottom trapping it.

I was wondering that too. I loves M. Smokie

I actually got Nibbles as a present a whilte after I created C'est la Vie. Monsieur Smokey is based on something else I do have though: a stuffed bunny.

Named Smokey.

Smokey looks just like Monsieur Smokey except it's way more beat up and it doesn't have a beret.

That's awesome you still have your stuffed animal.
I still have my white stuffed cat (which appears in the comic briefly.) It's name is Snowy. Why do we always pick such silly names for our poor stuffed animals?

Smokey is probably one of your most hilarious characters. He wasn't originally going to be in the strip, no? But I'm really glad he made it in. He really sets off the protagonist well.

It seems to me that a lot of us own cats that may be cousins of each other.

You know what's kinda ironic...

I have one plush animal in my flat.
It's a rat. (those who read mcDuffies know why that's ironic)

I got it a long time ago and I think it's the coolest toy ever because, who'd ever think of making a plush rat?!?

Haha. That's awesome.

My favorite teddy bear wears a pair of glow in the dark boxer shorts. Also, I used to have a plush sea urchin. Beat that!

My ex and future roommate has five or six of those and they're going to be sitting around my room looking at me next year.

Aww, those are cute, Pillywiggin.
