Square Circle Forum

Our furry companions

Must be nearly over both the lead up to the trip, the trip and the jet lag now as I  reconnect with important people like our group on Ravelry  -  a fantastic troup of committed crafters.  12 months ago (LOL!) we started a discussion about our furry companions in Ravelry.  It is still going.  I am firmly of the opinion that cats far outweigh our doggy friends in the world of knitters/crocheters, but stand to be corrected.  It has been so lovely coming back to our two beloved cats - who, BTW, think they have died and gone to heaven now that we are permanently at home! 


It was deeply touching to see the odd animal in the shack settlements, greatly loved.  A bit mangy perhaps but adored companion none the less. 
One Go-go had a ginger cat that looked every bit as old as she did
asleep on her mattress on the floor and evidently her adored friend. 
Lots of dogs accompanied children running over rubbish dumps, but
seemingly just as loyal as you would expect anywhere in an ordinary
suburb.  We humans are so dignified by our animal companions.  So it
would be lovely to continue the gallery of pets and pet stories in this
forum too.  Hope you will join in over the months.  Sandy

Oh I loooove this....cats can be so mysterious and my Vincent's eyes can get big like that at night.  What a lovely poster this would make.  Oh, here's a cuteness overload to go with it:

And just to make sure the dog lovers are not left out:

  Awwwwww.  I just want to cuddle all of them.
