Art anyone?

[samssimonsays]

Oh that is awesome and Yes... I had a really nice one but just doesn't take photos hardly anymore. The shutter button is no longer wanting to do it's job. Very sad for me. One day I'll have another.

Pumpkin was special. HE picked me over my friend's little girl.

Originally a "barn cat", he looked very similar to a Turkish Van cat. One of the photos I can't find, shows his tail, which is like the Turkish Van cat.

I was single for several years after I got him, and he became my "guard cat". The one bathroom in the house was on the second floor. When I had parties, he would sit on the landing half way up the stairs, and growl if someone wanted to go up to the bathroom. One time a friend's son stayed over night, on the sofa. I was wakened up in the middle of the night, to him calling me, saying Pumpkin wouldn't let him go to the bathroom.

Another time, he was sitting in the middle, of the living room, and someone came up to the front door and knocked. Pumpkin actually growled like a dog!!!

When I met DH and he started coming over, Pumpkin would growl at him if he sat next to me on the sofa. When I was sure that DH was here to stay, I told Pumpkin, as much as I loved him, if it came down to who got to stay, it would be DH! Amazingly, Pumpkin calmed down and started letting him pet him. Not too long after, he started sitting in DH's lap, and all was well!

Sadly, when he was 10, he suffered a massive aneurysm, which left him blind, deaf and paralysed in his back legs. Our most humane option was to put him to sleep. I cried for days after that!!!

Oh no I'm so sorry!!!

Growing up I had a similar story. My mom had a Siamese before meeting my dad. He hated my dad Lol. So I came along and they were worried about him with me because he'd attack my dad and so on. Only liked my mom really. So they brought blanket home with my smell and he laid on it and wouldn't let my dad touch it! Growled just like that! When I was a couple months old I Guess I stopped breathing and my mom called an ambulance and he laid next to me on the floor and wouldn't even let my mom near me. She finally got him locked away and then while I was hospitalized he sat in my car seat and would growl at every one. He also would corner my cousins and the dogs. He wouldn't let them through from the kitchen to the dining room or vice versa. He'd sit in front of the bathroom door and not let people out of it. He was kind of a jerk but he was my guard cat Lol.

Purplequeen IS great!

I am due july 13th, @Devonviolet! Pumpkin was lovely! This cat is my hubs grandparents cat, a rescued stray they called Missy; its a boy LOL. He is a peach colour!

Samantha, the camera I use is an oooold canon digital rebel, one of the originals. Its getting uo there in age, doesnt take poctures in quick succession for long anymore. I use a long lense without a stabalizer which means 90% of the pictures taken are crap. I was lucky, it was hubbies camera when we got together and i took t over. He prefers to do wildlife and landscape photography. Learning filters (as you have) is an exceptional art, and can certainly pull pictures from the brink. Same thing used to be done in dark rooms.

Congrats Sweetened!

WOW! That's quite a story! Aren't animals amazing? I have a friend who has a Teacup Chihuahua (she weighs only 2-1/2 pounds), that has saved his life several times by alerting him or his wife that he had a medical emergency (stroke, heart attack and diabetic coma)!

That's awesome, Sweetened! How exciting! Only 3 more months! Is this your first? Or do you have other children? I won't say kids - I KNOW you have those!

 

[Sweetened]

Bahaha. Yes our first! No other children for us.

 

[Pioneer Chicken]

Yes! Love to draw and take photos!

I'll post some photos one of these days. I love all forms of art, from carving, to painting, to drawing, to graphic design. I've done t-shirts, logos, business cards, helicopter decals (UH-1A, UH-1B) and more. Mostly I just draw for my daughters, and did some concept designs for custom window frames while in Canada.
