Clydesdales are my favorite horses ( & not because they pull the Anheiser Busch wagons in the commercials either MG --ehat beautiful cats !!--I think all pets are beautiful !! ( unless you have snakes or rats as pets )

Clydesdales are from Scotland (named after the River Clyde) and are the smaller brothers of the Shire Horses from England. The breeding does get a bit mixed up. There are just some colors that are not allowed to be shown at shows if it is a Shire Horse.
EDIT: Beautiful cats Metalgoddess!!!

Thanks all but, Lana, just one horse. The one in front. Mama behind her isn't mine. Saffie lost her "baby belly" quite some time ago, and she is much redder than this picture shows. As for clydesdales, check out this one....baby about 12 hours old kept at the same farm where I keep Saffie. Nothing prettier than a baby horse! If anyone cares to know what a Jack Mule is and how BIG these animals get, here a picture that puts it into perspective. HUGE! Especially the head.

Udo, this is mine. Saffie. Even better than riding her, I love BRUSHING her. Talk about taking away the worries of the day. When you are dealing with an animal this big (as well as all the others that typically roam around in the field where I keep her) you certainly have nothing else on your mind! Picture is a bit old as it was when I registered her. That is her mother roaming around her. Saffron is about as big as she is now. VERY fast horse.

Thank you all for your kind comments!
And having a horse is very nice and pretty much of a challenge.
I started horse riding at the age of 36 after meeting my wife (finally the woman of all - no, beyond - my dreams!). She had been riding for over 20 years.
I got totally hooked because a horse is ALIVE. When you hop onto your motorbike the machine does what you what it to do - always reacting in the same way to the same conditions. A horse - well, I always say a horse is only a person anyway - reacts the way it FEELS. Like we do. Going to the stable and meeting up with Spirit is always very cool because he'll show you immediately how he feels (tired, excited, even pissed off).
Of course I'm in charge - I have to be because giving him that feeling makes him feel secure with his surroundings. But I'm not gonna beat the shit out of him if he's having a bad day. Then we "talk" about it and just take it easy. He learns to trust me and I learn to be patient (I'm still a bit of an excited kinda guy...)!
It's a great experience - I love it. |

Sort of an odd situation, though, as I keep her on the farm of the person who sold her to me some years ago. The woman who sold her to me raises horses but her business is with Jack Mules. She is in the running for the largest ever, btw.

You know me, I am a Detroit city-boy. I wouldn't own a horse if it weren't for this unique arrangement. Great horse, though. I love taking her out for trots whenever I get a free minute.

Udo, this is mine. Saffie. Even better than riding her, I love BRUSHING her. Talk about taking away the worries of the day. When you are dealing with an animal this big (as well as all the others that typically roam around in the field where I keep her) you certainly have nothing else on your mind! Picture is a bit old as it was when I registered her. That is her mother roaming around her. Saffron is about as big as she is now. VERY fast horse.

And having a horse is very nice and pretty much of a challenge.
I started horse riding at the age of 36 after meeting my wife (finally the woman of all - no, beyond - my dreams!). She had been riding for over 20 years.
I got totally hooked because a horse is ALIVE. When you hop onto your motorbike the machine does what you what it to do - always reacting in the same way to the same conditions. A horse - well, I always say a horse is only a person anyway - reacts the way it FEELS. Like we do. Going to the stable and meeting up with Spirit is always very cool because he'll show you immediately how he feels (tired, excited, even pissed off).
Of course I'm in charge - I have to be because giving him that feeling makes him feel secure with his surroundings. But I'm not gonna beat the shit out of him if he's having a bad day. Then we "talk" about it and just take it easy. He learns to trust me and I learn to be patient (I'm still a bit of an excited kinda guy...)!
It's a great experience - I love it. |

| Thanks Jeanine. I always try my best which is pretty easy because Tina (my wife) does the same - it's give and take and we cherish each moment together and never take anything for granted. We've been together for over 7 years now and it still works. |

That's beautiful Udo. Thanks for sharing your beautiful animals with us. Sounds like you are a wonderful husband as well.

LOL, I had a male Aussie for 13 years, the best dog I ever owned! Loyal, trustworthy, obedient! The greatest dog in the world! What a pleasure he was to own! He was around as an old fellow when my child was born and he took to her like he was second mama!
My Bella is female, and, apparently, it makes the difference. She is nothing like Maxwell! She rebels on me all the time! I have tried about everything! It does amaze me though, she will respond to a male voice just like that! I love her but she is a handful and has epilespsy. Poor girl, I could never admit defeat, so I will just have to keep on with her until she finally gives me the reigns! I know she will as she matures. Maxwell was very destructive as a baby too, but he grew out of it by about 3. Long time to wait for the perfect dog, but I know she can rise to the occasion! As long as the love is there, anything is possible! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by devils_child from Tuesday, October 28, 2008 10:21:13 PM)

All us Aussies are crazy... hehehe pets included. I had a bluey (Aussie Cattle Dog) called 'Bindi' when i was little. He used to love tearing the washing off the line...
he ate all my school dresses, he also ate through an entire queen sized mattress..?!?! My mum got so annoyed one day she strung up a huge bag full of water on the washing line...
so predictable Bindi went over to the line and proceeded to tear it down... He got drenched...
it was one of the funniest memories of my early childhood. In the end we had to get rid of him, i think having a bluey requires alot of time, love and devotion...
they get bored so easy.
They are beautiful dogs though., Bella looks like a sweety.. I know they are very loyal dogs also.. and can get a bit protective. (Quoting Message by spapad from Tuesday, October 28, 2008 5:55:44 PM)

Oh, excellent! Thanks for the heads up on the Kili review. I'll check it out later. I did quite a lot of research on it and read it to be just as you describe. Not a technical climb but just slow and strenuous. Many claim that you should be doing some serious stairmaster exercising with a bunch of weights in a backpack just to prepare! PRICE was the main problem this year. As a direct flight from the US was so expensive, I even looked to getting a ticket from Brazil. Nope, out of range. I do hope to make the trek someday, though.
Athens Marathon? Wow. That would be amazing. I am looking at Chicago in 2009. Been to the city many a time but, like they say, nothing compares to seeing it on foot! Let me know how it goes.
I'll try to post a pic of my horse when I am able.

And as for the KILI - go for it - it's not much climbing although it is very strenuous. The altitude sickness almost stopped me but my wife actually kicked me in the ass so that I made it. I've done a review on my website if you're interested (in English as well). It's a great experience - a challenge!

Kilimanjaro this year (airfare was too much...maybe next year) and now this....I also own an Appaloosa! Her registered name is Saffron but we call her "Saffie." She is now three. Beautiful animals you have there.
SCARY similarities, though! Good thing I have two dogs and not cats!

I'll try to post a pic of my horse when I am able.

I like cats, don't get me wrong, but they do put me into serious respiratory distress. And cats seem to know who is allergic. My cousin's cat jumped up and nosed me, nose to nose one time and within 10 minutes I could not breath and my nose looked like roudolf.

Gets whatever he wants? Yeah, you got THAT right. However, do notice the piece of plywood I have clamped in the stairs to the left of him in that photo. That is to keep at least ONE room safe. Hairy devil ate one of the plastic clamps the day after I put that up to keep him from jumping the stairs as it is baby-gated off at the bottom. Oh, what a funny guy!
Like Kiko, the bird in my pic, he is essentially a rescue dog. Just walked up my drive one day. I have thanked him many times since for having "picked me."

Really? Took me about an hour with absolutely NO contact with the cat at my friend's house to set me off. Any idea what type of bird sent you to the e-room? No question, they do kick up some "fluff." The birds constantly preen and when they shake, it sets off a mini dust-bomb!

German Shepherds are such beautiful animals. They were my favorite breed when I was a kid. The only problem I have with them is the many health issues that may come along with them. If you can get a healthy one, boy are you lucky.

thank you everyone for your sympathy. and thanks for the advice joedraper. the only pic i have of him is on the computer. i guess i could try to print it out. it is the same one i posted in this topic about a year or so ago. its on page 25 or something. i think the mama cat has about 2-3 weeks to go before she has the kittens. we have decided to keep an orange one if she has one, because if i keep one that looks just like his father, i would be expecting his father all over again, because i had him since kittenhood too. so im getting one that dosent look like him at all and i will take your advice and just accept him as a pet since there will not be another frito.
new puppy arrives on sunday.  |

Hi SS, have you got a photo of Frito? If you do then you should make up a flyer/poster with his photo on and post it all around your neighbourhood. You never know if someone thought he was lost they could've taken him to a shelter or maybe even kept him with them at their house. I hope that you do find him. I always thought running away was far worse than a death because if your pet dies, you at least have some closure. Try to accept the new kitty as just that, a new kitty with his daddy's legacy but no expectations other than being a good companion for you. Enjoy the new pup when it arrives, my new one has caused havoc and I'm loving every minute of it! lol... He's doing well at puppy school and has mastered sitting down for a treat... still not perfect on potty training though but we're getting there. I seriously suggest puppy school. It's made life easier for me and I'm understanding my puppy really well. At the end of the course they do a show/ ceremony and get a 'graduation' certificate at the ceremony.. Can't wait to show off my little doggy lol.

| my cat frito ran away about a month ago. i was more attached to him than any other pet i've had.he was a cat that acted like a dog. he came to me when i called him, hassled when he was hot, drank out the toilet, slept by me at night. he got my mom's female pregnant so i am going to keep one of his offspring. but im afraid im going to be disappointed. it won't have his dog-like personality. and i have good news too. we are getting a boston terrier pup. |
