Post your animal photos!

All animals. Any kind of animal. Big, little, fluffy or squishy. Rough, smooth, scales or feathers. Gigantic or microscopic. Even the human animal.

Must be your own photo, please.

Whether you've shared them before or not - post your animal photos!

Because - animals, dammit! (and it's something fun to do while we wait for the contest to start)

They really wanted me to go away but that didn't stop them.

But she had good innings! She was 13 when she died, which is pretty old for a big dog.

I have a lot of good memories!

And the Polar Bears!

And furry friends who are pets

Our dear departed Tanya and Mouse. I swear Mouse thought Tanya was his mommie. Taken years ago
in the house that burned.

Simba and Mouse together not long before Mousie died in 2009.

We rescued Snowy not long after Mouse passed away. She thought it was pretty fun to have her very own kitty--Simba--but it took him a while to warm up to her. Simba joined his brother, Mouse, at the Rainbow Bridge in 2012.
Here are Snowy and Simba enjoying the warm spring sun on the deck in 2012.

Tried posting this earlier from my cell phone but for some reason it cut the size in half. No clue as to why, as the link is the same.

Thor remains skeptical of the claim that the '49 Studebaker is all original parts and paint.

But he could exhibit a look.

The lady who owned him had to be hovering around 80. It cracked me up that she named him Thor.

At the LA County Fair the summer before last. It was a big deal because he was born during the fair. I want a baby donkey! I'll take real good care of it. He can sleep in my room.

I like rodents.

Alligators are fascinating! Best viewed from a safe distance, of course.

The can remember threatening (mean, scary faces) human faces and pass that knowledge on....even to their young. Who will also consider you a bad person.

Very smart birds.

Have seen a pbs documentary about them.

'Mine' are too skittish/flighty to enable us to exchange threatening expressions. DARN!
