THE ZOOLATRY FAMILY

My pet family ~ the Zoolatry family ~ past, present and extended ~ 
has been filled with animals ever since I can remember, from my earliest childhood days until now.  
Cats, dogs, birds, fish ~ hamsters, more!  Each and every one special, precious.
  For many, there are no photos, they live on only in the "album of my mind", 
but they still live on for they each added something to my life 
and for that I am forever grateful.  Today, we share a few.


Our Granddogs.
Smiling Sammies, Samoyeds Chewy and Fiona.
Black Labrador Dougie Dog.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Xander.
It's always fun to visit my grands, and at the same time
enjoy these amazing grand-pets!


Maggy, Mary Margaret, the Magster, Magoo, Mags.
My Himalayan tortie girl, an angel now.
My heart cat.  Love you always, Mags.


Zoey, ZoZo, the Zoester, Toofy girl.
Our blue point Himalayan little clown, now an angel.
Poppy Vic's special girl.
Hey Zo, hope you and Poppy have having fun together,
up there beyond the rainbow ... I sure do miss you both, love, Mommy!


Pip, Pip Squeak and TK, Tiny Kitty.
The most special, the best kitty furriends ever ~ why?
Because they owned my most special and best friend ever.
I had the joy of knowing them well, even living with them for
a short time, traveling with them, vacationing with them.
Pip and TK are angels now.
I miss them both, I loved them both.

Thank you to all the many animals who have been kind and good
enough to share their lives with me.

  3. We can have such great capacity for love when we're around our fur babies. I wish humans felt that way about other humans in this wacky world. I love seeing all the pictures of your fur family. You've done such great artwork this month I'll be sorry that August is over for more than one reason.

    Yes, over a lifetime that is a whole collection of furry family we loved to live with!
    Xander has such lovely eyes.

    Hugs,
    Mariette + Kitties

  18. I loved seeing all of these photos. A few of them I am blessed to have known from afar (from reading your blog), but I also loved seeing those that I didn't know! All of those pets were/are so lucky to have you and your family members and I know you feel lucky/blessed to have had them! xxoxo

  19. So many wonderful pets in your life. I remember long ago when TK and (Squashie?) used to blog. I can't remember the other kitty's name but it was something like that.

  20. Beautiful is so many beautiful pets and every single one of these is gorgeous and I do wish that my eyes were the color of mag's eyes. I love the way you put them on the newsprint because they are indelibly in our mind just like the ink is on the newsprint. I only have a photo of one dog before 1984 when I moved here and that was the dog we had for 16 years before I got divorced in 1980 and I only have two pictures of him

  25. How very beautiful!!! You know that the album of your mind is also the album of your heart:). We knew Zoey, Maggy, and Dougie best, but we have come to know the others through you. The memories of our beloved pets sure do help make our lives wonderful.

  26. Ah, yes, I too have a lot of pets that are only alive in my mind's eye as the saying goes, a lot of goldfish, one who lived for quite a few years...2 canaries, 2 budgies, and two dogs...as well as many kitties of my extended family, and friends...and of course our 6 kitty angels and one notable MJF! (At least there are a few pics of those...

    A lovely heartfelt post, Miss Ann. Your angels are precious and cherished forever...and the others are sure to live on that way too, forever and ever! But hopefully not yet...not for a long time...
