My boys Tom and Jack. 8yrs and 9yrs.
The horse is my thoroughbred called Bundy. He's 23yrs old, the human equivalent of 92yrs old. Needless to say, he isn't ridden all that much anymore.
All were taken in Auto mode.

And here's Pep, a 17yr old kelpie/cattledog cross.

JJJ all your pets seem retired!! nice photos too

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #4 03-12-2006, 12:21 AM

Yeah, but their both quite perky for their age.
Bundy gallops down for his breakfast and dinner, and sometimes throws in a buck or two.
Pep, well, she trys to caper about and play frisbees, but has to have a little lie down afterwards.

Great pics Jeanette! Nice to see some of the family!

Bundy the horse looks good natured, as do the other animals.

Perhaps there could be an 'astro- pets' section to the forum

Excellent pics - you have inspired me to take some pics of our two pups.

Cheers Petra

Nice photo's Jeanette. I hope that I will be that good lookin' and just as frisky when I hit the 92 year milestone.

Cheers

Bundy's been there and done that. He started as a race horse, then competed in camp draft for years before going off to teach beginners to ride then teach dressage to more advanced riders. I'm lucky to have been given him.

Nice pics JJJ, you they sure look like you (the kids that is)...

Nice pics.

I only have the one pet, my Terrier cross, Jessie.

That's her in my avatar. She's a lively little 8 year-old who goes everywhere with me, even out under the stars.

She's fascinated by the laptop screen when I'm out planetary imaging.

She got out of the house and run over about four months ago. Her pelvis was broken in three places and for a day or two they weren't sure she would make it. She needed some pretty serious surgery to put her back together.

She's now up and about ... jumping up on beds and couches almost as well as before the accident. In fact, she was up tottering about within about 3 weeks.

They're amazing little creatures

nice looking cat, does it have a name?

handsome looking kids too

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #13 03-12-2006, 05:46 PM

I think the cat was christened Hannah when we first got her. But we've never called her anything but puss, kitty or that darned cat. We got her from Animal Rescue.

I love the little terriers Matt. I had one myself nearly 25 ago. Tilly would come to work with me. I worked at the glaziers and she worked next door at the produce agency killing rats and mice. She was paid in dog food.
After work, I'd saddle up and ride for miles down the beachfront and through the parks. Tilly would follow me everywhere. She was as fit and trim as a greyhound. If she tired, I would sit her in front of the saddle so she could enjoy the ride. Thanks for reminding me of her. Wonderful memories.

I see the cats different as other domestic animals,
as I was a child they were to me like friends,
now they are for me like children....

here you see grandma, mam and child
(Susi,Sissi and Silbi)

ving (David) · #15 04-12-2006, 09:15 AM

ispom · #16 04-12-2006, 08:01 PM

Today I have only the Silbi,

in the picture above he was a child only, 6 years ago.

His grandma was died meanwhile, his mam overrunned, a deadly car accident
