Probably what she is thinking in this rather confusing photo
The mice (Zoe and Tilly) were cleaned out today. Maisie loves staring at them, and headbutting the glass to try and eat them. As you can see, Tilly has the \"am I bovvered?\" attitude
and Zoe is slightly more timid, hiding in the igloo... sorry about the glare, the photo is taken through glass. Makes a cool scene though and Maisie\'s eyes look positively evil!happy painting

Here is another picture through a tank (technically perspex not glass, and cleaner than mouse house).Originally posted by finn17
Hard to get any results through glass
Comet in the middle, 4 years old and the largest of the fish. Tamsin (so called because she is a Bristol Shubunkin and my cousin Tamsin lives in Bristol) on the top left, who broke her fin whil swimming down the filter tube. Top far left is Ernest, the newest, puniest fish
You can see four minnows if you look carefully... they are identical, so don\'t have individual names one more pet photo to go after this!happy painting

Ok, final pet photo
This is Freddy, my green tree frog, sadly deceased He is sitting on a bromeliad. His sister, Coco, was very shy so I don\'t have a good photo of her. They were very close to my heart, so it\'\'s nice to have photos to keep their memory alive They were so cute when they ate crickets in one gulp
happy painting

Gin:
My kitty has grown up now, she was one year old on 6th August Her eyes are no longer blue though ??? apparently they change colour once they go out of \"kitten\" phase. She is still a kitten at heart though, very playful and friendly, her character hasn\'t changed at all She has grown a fair bit since those pics, but she is still very petite (not like Finn\'s sabre-tusked battle cat ). Here is another pic:
She was angry with the camera then... :] She is a very strange cat, and prefers mouse muesli and fish food to her own cat food lol If I leave the lid off either, she\'s in there straight away, gorging on tasty sunflower seeds, nutritious wood pulp, pungent fishy flakes...
happy painting

Here\'s my Griever back in September. This was taken the day after he checked out of the ICU for his spinal injury. He had shaven bits on his back from where the antihistamine and pain patches were and also had a masking tape tail brace attached so we could hold his back end up while he tried to walk. (Thats what the rope thing under him is) He was so zonked out he just slept and slept for about a week.
And now here he is today standing and stuff woohoo!! He still sits funny and can\'t cock his legs to wee, but at least he can walk
I love my little man

Zordana: Way to go girl.
Way to go girl.Thanks guys. I\'m real proud of my little man.
When the surgeon rang me and told me his injury was actually inoperable I was heart-broken. His disc had ruptured so violently the fluid had actually entered his spinal cord and was causing the pressure damage from within so they couldn\'t do a damn thing.
He\'s such a strong fella that I kinda knew he would pull through, even if only for his mummy (he\'s a total mama\'s boy).
So we left him in the capable hands of the vets and nurses in the ICU and they monitored him and did physio for a couple of weeks. He started showing small signs of recovery in the second week, moving his left back leg slightly and then when he dribbled a wee wee one morning we were totally ecstatic. Shortly after that they allowed him to come home. He still couldn\'t walk, but he could wee and that was the main thing.
He\'s about 80% mended now and still getting physio from me daily. He still can\'t control his bowels properly, sometimes he does a little poo without realising. So half my day is spent cleaning up little nuggets, but I don\'t really give a rat\'s arse, I\'m just glad he\'s home and okay
We also had to put our mattress on the floor so he could sleep on our bed with us (he can\'t and shouldn\'t be jumping).
Apparently the disc rupturing happens a lot with small dogs, so you shouldn\'t really let them jump about much. Normally it can be fixed surgically and they are ok in 80% of cases. Griever was just unlucky in that regard, but thankfully he pulled through
The real crapper was that my hubbie went into hospital with pneumonia on the night Griever decided to explode his back, so I was a mess for a while there, as you can imagine. lol
It\'s all good now though.
