    Regulars to the post a pic thread will remember the many many series of photos that I'd posted of our Max. He went to the rainbow bridge aged just 5 and a half with leukemia. I had real difficulty choosing a photo for this but his cheeky smile made me choose this one. It actually made me smile and sad at the same time picking a photo for anyone who wants to see more photos (and to get an idea of how hard it was to choose a photo ha ha) take a gander at this video I made at the time :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34hxM4F3dJM

    Great vid IP. Very very sad... But at the same time, shows just how much he meant to you.

    The 'sandy-faced' pic at around 2.30... Cracking photo. :)

    RIP Max

    This is my husbands cat, Fatso Catso. I'm not supposed to call her that but ye won't tell :D She is modelling a suit from Penneys Boutique. It is a suit for a medium sized dog. I stupidly thought it would fit her. As you can see, it barely goes round her.

    Age: 3 months

    I recently found a pack of 3 tiny little santy hats in a euroshop for €1 and just HAD to try them out (they're perfectly hedgehog sized!) on Auri. She was a most gracious model when it came to me fiddling around with the hat on her head, although she wiggles her snout around so much anyway that it just kept falling off. This is her best shot.

    I also have a shoggy-sized christmas tree that I'm itching to have her pose next to :pac: :D

    OMG that is hilair! I wonder did the makers of the teeny tiny Santa hats ever foresee the uses they could be put to? :D

    Hi all,
    We're into the last 24 hours of the qualifiers now!
    By this time tomorrow (Saturday 20th), we will have our 8 finalists selected, and we have some VERY strong contenders in most categories.
    However, we have a couple of categories that are undersubscribed.
    They are
    Category 1: Golden Oldies... c'mon everyone, let's get our senior citizens involved!
    and
    Category 6: Group Shot... We have a serious front-runner in this category, but not too much competition... if you have a great pic of all your gang together, post it quickly!

    I'd also encourage everyone to look through the thread again, and get your thanks in if you've been holding off!

    Until tomorrow, enjoy the last day of voting and looking at all the lovely pics!
    :):o:)

    Been trying to get my group shot for a week now :pac: I'll give it one more go tomorrow lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,809 ✭✭✭Frigga_92


    This is the best I could do. I have Christmas collars and hats for them all but they were having none of it :pac:
    This is pretty much the set up in our house, puppies on Duke's back and Cherie keeping a watchful eye from afar.
    We are very lucky that they all get on so well.

    she'd managed to nick her ear and we couldn't stop it bleeding. This was our attempt to keep a bandage on the ear - she wasn't impressed:D:D

    Well if category 1 is a bit low, here's one of the last photos of Isabella we ever took. She's about 2 in this one, which is ancient for a hammie!
