this is Ollie, our foster dog. So far we have moved house since we got him. Just have to change our phone numbers now and we can keep him *evil grin*phone 026.jpg

My (20yo) son wanted a husky but I said "No. You'll leave home in a year or so and I'll be left with a husky to look after for 15 years. Get a foster dog, then we can give him back". So we got Ollie, for 6 months, about 9 months ago lol. His owner has NEVER phoned to ask after him, has only been to see him once (after I encouraged her too). We fell in love with him by about day 2. Can't imagine our house without him now. Best dog I've ever owned and that is saying something. He is just happy all the time. His owner says she definitely wants him back, and she has two children who love him so obviously we'll give him back but we'd keep him if we could. Which, of course, is exactly what I didn't want to happen and why I suggested fostering *sigh*

This is him feeling sorry for himself when he was a bucket head, and then asleep on my bed.

Heyah! Apologies for my delay in reply, (I've not been here for a while) but Thankya!
Just to explain Skeezix, he's known for being a "feline fashionista", blogging at http://mousebreath.com, The Cat Blogosphere and his own site http://www.skeezixthecat.com. I learned of him only after he went to Rainbow Bridge tho, from a blog on his passing by another cat blogger, Max, in his brilliant "Psychokitty Speaks Out" blogs on http://www.psychokitty.blogspot.com (I'm a big fan of Max's ebooks also). Both great, funny reads if you're interested :)

Yeah, that was an interesting bunch haha. They were called the kitten clan and were made up of three litters. Lucky for me only 5 were bottle fed, the rest were lapping when they came into care, I couldn't imagine bottle feeding them all at once lol
I try not to have that many litters at once because you tend to have more then one mumma's boy/girl and you run out of space on you for nap time pretty fast haha.

The most I had on the bottle at once was 9. I had a litter of 5 who were 3 weeks when a litter of 4 who were 1 day old came in. The 3 week old kittens were still on 4 hourly feeds and the little ones were on 2 hourly feeds with feeding on demand during the day. So every second 2 hour feed was for them both. Once you feed, burp (yes, you have to burp young bottle fed kittens) and toilet them all the next alarm would go off. Lucky they grow up really fast hey? :)

I am going to stop now lol. Too much cuteness hahaha
How about I end off with some kittens bottle feeding. They were not due for a feed and had already had a bottle but were very insistent so I caved, as always. <3 Faith is the kitten who drinks second. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151158600770963&set=vb.206538926051706&type=3&theater

I love Bentley and Bubba!! We never had kids so our cats will be our babies until one or the other of us is no more.

Awww thanks. My son is 20 now and hardly ever home. The other half travels a lot for work and is in the USA as we speak. So my babies are my life. I also have a rainbow
Lorikeet who barks and tells dog to shut up lol. It's a bit of a nut house here.

I used to have a silver tabby cat just like Bubba! Her name was Samantha...

Well Bubba is a little psycho. He likes nothing more than to hide down the hallway and pounce on you unexpectedly. Also he never meows, he's a talker. It's like little words come out instead. He slept on the foxtel box for months, he loved the heat and no matter how many warm spots I made him he just kept going back
Lol
