I am going to be out ofthe loop until tonight, so I will put this up now rather than later. Our first guests remind me of the grumpy old men in the balcony in the Muppets:
Suzu and Maddie dare you to pet them.
My sister sends in the next picture, of her friend’s cat Ernie:
Ernie apparently ate too much for breakfast on Christmas morning.
IF your pets have not been featured yet, don’t worry, I still have them and will get them up. If you haven’t sent yours in, get ’em in.

My first cat — Stormy (RIP little dude) — was a black long hair — looked like a black Ernie in that pose. Kind of sad to see. Better get out of here before I pull a “Martha Alito”.

Hee hee…Suzu and Maddie are neat! They look like good pals. Is it just me, or do Schnauzers always look like they should have a little bowler hat and walking stick?

What kind of dog is Suzu?
Krista
Suzu looks to have some Spitz lineage…they tend to be distinctly fox-like.

Ernie looks like he has the capability to fry computer parts at 10 paces.
Nikki
Suzu is damned beautiful. I was wondering what breed she/he was as well.
my cat
Ernie looks like a party animal on the day after.

Is it my imagination or is that the longest cat I have ever seen?
Krista
Love those guys. If I ever win a boatload of money, I’m buying those Muppets and building a balcony for them in my living room.
Sine.Qua.Non
Suzu appears to be between a
Norwegian Buhund???

Suzu looks to me to have some Shiba-inu in him.
(BTW, Shibas are incredible escape artists. I’ve seen pix of one getting over the top of an eight-foot fence and my own Shiba/Akita mutt is a great digger.)

Ernie looks part cat. It’s always amazing how long and relaxed a cat can get. They can sleep in a tightly curled-up ball, or a long, stretched-out line.

I’ve been fortunate to have Suzu in my life for about the last 6 years.
She is a Shiba Inu, a breed from Japan, related to the Akita.
They were used to hunt small game in the underbrush, and ‘shiba inu’ is sometimes translated as “little bush dog”.
