??? Never heard of a "Motorbike" pooch. She's a Wheaten Terrier an Irish breed. Due to a significant difference in weather between the Green Isle and Golden California, we tend to keep Cookie in what is called a 'Puppy Cut', much shorter hair than you'll see the average show Wheaten.

Armando that is a beautiful dog!
Also your images are really good.
And yes - I do exactly the same with mine - it is great to have images of our animals - looking back over the years - obviously they pass on, but one never forgets the bond you had with them.

@ Armando- Good stuff ... Schnauzers are great.

@ Elsa- Good looking Boxer. Sad that he is gone. I suspect you and he had a great relationship and life. It is obvious that he's been photographed ... repeatedly ...

Here are Chai and Mocha, both lolling about as cats do.
They were supposed to be sisters, but have totally different sizes, shapes and fur. So who knows?

[1] Chai, shorthair tortoishell, 7 pounds, slim oriental body type and tilted eyes.
Chai likes to sleep in her little fleece bed under the table lamp.

[2] Mocha, medium-longhair calico with white tuxedo & mittens, 11 pounds, big and chunky with a very long tail.
Mocha has worn herself out stalking toys and playing in the packing paper.

[3] Mocha has very long whiskers and eye brows.
This a crop from a snapshot because she wouldn't let me get that close with a lens.

Nice topic and amazing shots ;)

Minoes is my oldest cat, she is now 11 years with me, after I picked her up in an animal shelter. She is cute, stubborn, eats everything, adores cucumber, mushrooms and paprika. And she purrs very very hard which is basically the only loud sound she can make.

Here is an example of a motorbike dog although it may not be what Jacques had in mind.
These are just some vacation snaps of a cool Westie who rides with his Person on her motorbike (or whatever that is called).
