The happy thread...
Ok, the forum is starting depress me a bit - to many sad stories about stupid people hurting innocent animals.
So I figured I'd make a "happy thread" for all of us to post cute & happy things - stories - pics - etc.
I'm not saying we need to stop posting the other things, I think that provides education and awareness, we just need to offset it with some happy stuff too.

I'll start... Who doesn't like looking at sleepy pups?

The Ahi pictures are too precious.
I will repeat myself for the nine millionth time, I love your pack.
No tea for the knitting party? Knitting always has to have tea :-)
It's the Shibas and Shikas that cause all the problems - the Akita just sit on her.
----
This is what I wake up to, it always makes me smile (you should hear the snoring, that makes me laugh)
And this is how Miko sits. I think it is hysterical. She is so gangly and silly looking right now.
I need to get a cute one of Moto now.
Miko is really cute! Her muzzle is getting a lot lighter, huh? She is very pretty. I think all Shikoku have that silly lazy sit.
----
Miko gets bigger and prettier every day. She still has some puppy fur on her head. I can't wait to see her in her full adult winter coat. Probably not til next year I suspect. I also have never met a lickier dog than Miko. All she wants to do is lick you, any part of you, and she is unrelenting. She is almost affectionate to a fault. But I will take smooching overkill over a cranky pup any day.
Introducing...Shinra! My Iguana
He's not very photogenic.
Valentine HATES the new cam & tries to attack it every time, so all the pics I have of him look like this;
Sephiroth looking pretty
Mesa; the youngest. EVery shot of him is SO dramatic
I had taken some pictures of some nice fluffy blue clouds that were pretty happy, but they didn't come out so well. I will try again tomorrow! ~
The picture of Valentine attacking the camera cracks me up. (Btw, is he named after Vincent?)
What a big fuzzball!
And with his siblings. Geesh, he is so much bigger than the others. No wonder he is growing to be such a big boy. Already 22 lbs at 7 1/2 months.

Thanks Kyla!
Lol, yes,
Shinra from Rufus Shinra FFVII [ Giant Green Iguana ]
Valentine from Vincent Valentine FFVII [ Normal Grey Cockatiel ]
Sephiroth FFVII [ Whiteface Pearl Cockatiel ]
Yuki from Gravitation anime, also means snow [ he's all white ] [ Latino Cockatiel ]
Lulu for the lulu from FFX [ though ours is a boy, we thought he was a girl when we got him lol ] [ Normal Grey Cockatiel ]
Gackt named after a famous Japanese singer [ Pied Cockatiel, though he's not show quality, he has grey on his face that disqualifies him ]
Mesa is named after myself & my sister. My other nickname is Mema & my sister is Sarah. So Me + Sa = Mesa. My dad named him. [ Pearl Cockatiel ]
We mostly tend to name off video game characters haha. We also had Cloud [ ie; Cloud Strife ] though he's passed on, & Dahlia [ named after a cool song by the band X Japan ] who is also no longer with us.
Though I've decided to pick a more "real" name when I get a dog
And Jessica, who couldn't love Piglet, really?!?! What amazing dogs!
Osy - thanks for sharing! We had birds when i was little - good memories. I always wanted an iguana, but my mom refused to have anything in the house the dogs might be tempted to eat/kill (even though my room was upstairs and unaccessable to them - i'm pretty sure she had a thing against scaly creatures...)
Kojichan - How adorable!!
----
Osy - Your Iguana is amazing! I had an Iguana when I was in high school but I couldn't get him to eat - I tried everything. I eventually got in touch with someone that had several Iguanas and he suggested I let him have my Iguana since he was such a picky eater. This guy said he was very comfortable with that situation since he had 2 other Iguana that were very picky too. I gave him to him and he immediately started eating - the same exact thing I was feeding him! WTF? I guess he didn't like me.
I got to visit him a bunch and he seemed a lot happier w/ him and his other Iguana buddies - so I was happy even tho he hated me.
----
At least he went to a good home Brad, & you got to visit
My Boy's really feminine looking for a male iguana though. & small. Typical male iguana should look like this;
Amber, quite a few of the relatives are cmpletely terrified of him. They remember him when he was only a few inches long so when they see him now they're always, "WHAT have you been feeding him??" lol~
Jen and her knitting partners are pretty funny.
Also,
BEAGLE BEAGLE BEAGLE!
They came in as a stray pair, they are really sweet, hyper as hell. Adoptable as of yesterday, I named them Bonnie and Clyde and the kept it!
Osy - my husband wanted to name kitsune Sephiroth, but after seeing what he looked like, I promised him when we get a black dog we'll name it Sephiroth. And I broke that promise with Hachi, obviously. Oh well, no FF names for me!
the pic of (vincent) valentine is hilarious, I literally LOL'd!

Well since my computer got a virus a few months ago and I lost ALL of my pics b/c I didn't have any backup files (I'm a superstar), these are the only pics of Tsuki as a young pup I have left. And I didn't do a birthday thread when she turned a year (in June) so this is a good a place as any to post them (because they make me happy!):
AWESOME pics!!!!
