    HC, your cat is the most beautiful cat I have ever seen:) I will always remember the very first picture I saw. I thought it was professional, so you probably took it. It was beautiful.:D

    Aww... thanks, JD! :) I just took another one that I absolutely LOVE! My new camera is fun to play with and Zazzy loves to be the center of attention! :)

    Want to see it?

    Too cute, is he pretending to be a lion with all that fur around him :D

    To him, it's not pretending! He was stalking me today when I was making cookies... I swear, he thinks he's a jungle cat. Probably the Lynx in him, but golly! I have to get him a new pair of shoes. That's it. Or a ball.

    Yes, he's a nut. :) But I adore him!

    My camera battery is on the charger as we speak!
    I'll try and get some pics tomorrow morning (about to head off to bed in a minute)

    He looks a bit funny at the moment because his ears are taped! It comes off in a few days ;)

    Thanks HC :D

    I ended up taking a video of him because I just couldn't get a good photo! I'll post that on Youtube later today and put a link here ;)

    My camera washed out his color too. His body is dark grey/slate and his hair is a combination of jet black, gold and tan.

    He is cute, but the crest still freaks me out. Chloe goes for ears and chip Tues.

    Good luck Chloe!

    I'm not allowed to chip him until 5 months, the breeder thinks it's cruel before then just because they are so tiny and the needle is so big :D

    One word for the breeder - anesthesia

    Like when they put him out to do ears?
  • Feb 18, 2010, 05:41 PM
    shazamataz

    Yeah... it's fine for a larger breed like yours but I feel kind of funny about doing it to a small breed. He will be chipped eventually just not yet ;)
    Cyrus only weighs 2.5kg (5.5lb)

    What kind of dog is that? What did I miss? 5.5 lbs is little and he looks really big for a puppy.

    But... Ohhh so cute:D

    Shazamataz, very cute doggy, what kind is it?

    Historianchick, nice pics of the kitty :)

    He's a Chinese Crested ;)

    I just took a ton of photos out in the backyard but something has happened to them.
    If anyone knows anything about cameras please help me!

    Shazzy, a long time ago, when Sydney was still a baby, I worked for a few months at my Uncles business, he does chipping. His partner is a vet.

    Here in Canada shelter dogs are chipped when they are adopted. Jasper was 4 months old when we got him and he was chipped. I got to go in back with them (because they know me) and he didn't even flinch.

    Not that I'm telling you to do it now, no harm in waiting, just want you to know that it's really not as bad as it seems. The needle is big but if the vet is good they won't feel it. Really. :)

    Oh, also, he's freaking adorable and I'm not usually a fan of the Chinese crested. Yours is too cute though. Congrats. :)

    Mum gets hers chipped before 8 weeks, when they go in for their last vaccination, I've seen it, I know it's not that bad, but I still feel mean somehow :o

    And thanks Alty, it's funny, every single person who has seen him (even pet store employees) have said "What's wrong with his ears" followed by "He's not as ugly as I thought they were" :D
  • Feb 19, 2010, 12:08 AM
    Alty

    Well he is a cutie. I love the fur around his paws, makes him look like a clydsdale (sp?). ;)

    He's really a sweet looking dog. I can't wait to see his ears. ;)
  • Feb 19, 2010, 04:10 AM
    Unknown008

    I thought that his ears were a crown :eek:

    I find your dog somewhat strange... =/ I guess I'm not used in seeing furless dogs except at certain parts...

    OHH he's SO CUTE! What kind of puppy is he? And why do you put his ears in tape to make them stand? I've never understood that. Is it just for Aesthetic purposes?
  • Feb 19, 2010, 04:28 PM
    shazamataz

    The tape is put on their ears just to help them stand erect.
    You don't actually crop this breed (Chinese Crested), you just have to strap the ears up when they are puppies because the muscle isn't strong enough to support their ears yet, and if you don't do it they can flop down.

    This is close to what he will look like as an adult, similar colors anyway

    Not a breed I'd ever choose but he's still cute. :)

    He looks kind of like a girl ;):cool:

    He'd freeze if I got him. I live in Canada, he'd need a snow suit to go outside in the winter.

    Even my beagle can't tolerate the cold. He's the first dog I've had that I actually purchased a sweater for. I'm so ashamed. ;)

    My dog can't stand the cold here either.

    Shazamataz, he is very cute, I didn't mean what I said as an insult :o

    Don't worry, Shazzy is really easy going. She wouldn't be insulted. She will get revenge though. ;)

    Is it a tiny puppy? I think I have seen something like that, but they were all really tiny, like a toy:confused:

    Yeah I told my boyfriend that I wanted one, over a text after I listed the others, and He said "i thought just one was enough for you!" HIS mind was in the gutter. I sent him the picture of the deer. :rolleyes:
