Part Time Pet Hall of Fame

Over time I've had the pleasure to make the acquaintance of some wonderful part time pets - they all end up with a special nickname from me - you can meet some of them here:

The Ozzies

Katie and Sophie - Daylesford

  

This is "Katie the Matie" and "Sophie the Lophie" collectively
known as "The Tailwaggers".  Katie has a heart the size of
Texas and well Sophie would just loaf off as soon as your
back was turned and go find dead kangaroos bones to bring home

 

One needs one's futon for lying in the sunshine

 

They would beg their way in promising to keep me company, 

then all I would hear is snoring by the fire

Jelly Bean - Hepburn Springs

 

This is "The Bean" - she is a hugger girl that likes to help with the computer

 

Every princess needs her beauty sleep

Funny thing was, this sofa was empty the day she arrived,

by the time she left she had more blankets and pillows than I did!

Ellie - Bermagui

Thunder and Jadore - Gold Coast

Their folks had gone off to Bali to get married so we 

decided we'd get our fascinators on and have a special 

wedding dinner and send them a wedding message with photos

 Thunder the Wonder took to the whole
fascinator thing well and posed beautifully and 

seemed a little disappointed when he had take his off

Jadore the Princess seemed a little less impressed with

hers and it disappeared as fast as her dinner

There was also Freddie the exotic blue fish but he

refused to have anything to do with fascinators and was

content to just go round and round and round his bowl

Dunolly, VIC, Australia

Madge and Max were my only buddies 

in Country Victoria - they didn't say much 

but hopped in morning and night
and did a good job of keeping 

the lawns mowed.

Izzy and Blackie - Adelaide

 

I called her "Izzy Whizzy Lets Gets Busy" - but her favourite thing (well apart from walks) was sneaking onto MY blanket and leaving HER Snoopy blanket for me!

Her third most favourite thing was tummy rubs!

Blackie liked to lie in the sun and was happiest when left alone.
Funny thing was Blackie wasn't black.

The Americans

Sylvie - San Jose

 

"Sylvie McGilvy" - the "let me find the best and sunniest 

spot in the house and lie in it" gal

 

She was such a loving gal - she had to be in on everything.

She made a great iPad stand - she would sit a top my knees

and help write newsletters (yeah right - sleep more like!)

 

I had trouble convincing her she wasn't leaving with me!

Sophie and Marcel
San Francisco

 

Marcel the Par-cel - such a gift

He'd had surgery but outsmarted his

first smaller cone and ripped open the stitches,

which meant he was cone-head for the whole time

with me - don't you just love his ballet feet.

 

Sophie the Yoda Master

Straight out of Glamour Salon

 

Office Pals .... eventually

Read their story here

 Here's Marcel helping me set up the video for recording

Duke & Daisy
Washington DC

Daisy Di - very regal!

Dookie Doodle - the "Ma Num a Nah" cat

The Canadians

Donus - Sechelt BC

 

"Donus the Bonus" - that ear was always lop sided - so cute!

 

I even had to mind a Hamster called Hammy 

he loved his hamster ball I got him

-oOo-

Batman- Vancouver BC

 

This is "Batman the Catman" - he lives in Vancouver 

but he's from France originally, so he only speaks French

 I used to call him "Oui Oui" and "Bon Oui" when he was 

especially good because that's the only French I know!

He is the master at hide and seek
