Hi Fernando,

It is a funny picture ;) You don't look too excited to be a reindeer!
I think David (Katana) should have to post one of himself in a similar novelty garb!

Its only fair :)

David? :D

Regards
Gene

I was sad i wasn't having any calls :shrug:


Yeah, why not ?
C'mon David, show us what you are worth:D .

Fernando

Not ganging up on me .....are you ?? :( .....

Fair enough ....( :eek: )......I'll see what I can do :p

Regards David

thanks bill! seriously, they wouldn't hurt a fly. they'll lick you with reckless abandon tho.


oh, and here's Rajah, our not-so-little lap dog:

and Pickles, the designated house 'cat':

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...r/b0ec2045.jpg

They are wonderful dogs that have gotten a bad rap .
Nice pups Ron . :)

it wasent my intent to start an uproar :(


and gonzalo, the alano is a mastiff, albeit smaller than the mastin espanol.

it seems both the alano and mastin espanol where used in the conquest of the new world, but the evidence (the existing molosser/mastiff breeds in the former spanish empire in the new world/canary islands, all of which are short coated and strongly resemble the alano rather of the huge somewhat shaggy coated mastin) points to the alano being in wider use than the mastin.

i also wasent trying to say the spanish were any more brutal than any other colonial power, i know that the same kind of warfare was common in parts of europe.......its just that the spanish wardogs are more "celebrated" if you like, than those of the english, french, dutch or others.


again, no intention of causing offense.


anyways:

some interesting reading on how the spanish dogs in florida/georgia influenced later american dogs

Well here we have my 'animal army'


http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/107_0156.jpg


Sky and Barney .....Barney is a 'failed' military 'black project' in genetic splicing of a Ewok and dog ......not particularly fearsome but he gets quite agitated when he sees an Imperial storm trooper. ;)

Sky is a 2000 series K9 attack model ( this model has the electronically enhanced vision), from the year 2234, sent back by the 'machines' to annihilate mankind ....so far she hasn't done a very good job.....I think her 'programming' is corrupted ....unless her true mission was to lick mankind to extinction.

Then we have the 4 commando cats ....each with its own 'specialist camouflage' for differing terrains, Harley (black cat) is particularly useful as a Ninja / Night-time infiltrator, the fourth cat, 'kitten' was out on a 'secret op' ......so missed the 'photo call' :rolleyes:

continued next post...

Charlie 'piggy' Guinea Pig is extremely dangerous and in between missions has to be caged.....was once demoted to the 'Catering Corp'.....but ate more food than he prepared

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...107_0150-1.jpg


Tilly 'bomber' budgie seen here in her flight simulator.....provides air cover ....either 'pin point' accurate 'droppings' ......or all out 'shock and awe' ....especially after a large meal :eek:

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...107_0160-1.jpg



And finally.....our sub mariners ......3 Goldfish ....code named G1, G2 and G3 these operatives are pretty fearsome.....for fun... they pick fights with Piranha and antagonize the occasional 'Great White'......perhaps I'm feeding them too much protein :shrug:

Did have a tarantula ....unfortunately it died shedding its skin.....so the 'Armoured Division' is now defunct. However I did keep his 'armour' after a previous 'shed' .......still frightening enough for the ladies....and arachnaphobics........this 'old soldier' still doing his duty ...even after death ....now there's loyalty :cool:




Land, Sea and Air ....want a war .....bring it on :p :D


Regards David

thanks.
yup, sad really. they're the latest versions of what the dobermans and GSD went through in the past decades.

btw, i couldn't believe how big ridgebacks get til i saw my friend's dog. they're pretty awesome as well!

david,

it's coming people!

my warrior, Blue, is faster than yours - and better armed!

Here are my two ,sweet, doggies, my kampilan guards!
Who wants to try to get the kampilan with bare hands, may have it without paying (kamp is in swap forum) .....:D



Maurice

A severe case of doping
 

Forget the dogs and the cats :shrug: .
Just look at this (partly off-topic) bipedal :eek: .

wow, you have beautiful dogue de bordeaux and a bull terrier!!! what are their names, maurice, and how old are they?

Hi Ron,

They are not more beautiful as your dogs...

The bordeauxdogs name is ,Denzel, and he is 6 years old.
The bull terriers name is ,Bullit, and her age is 6 months. So still a little naughty girl...

Regards,
Maurice

That is such a great clip!
Thanks for sharing :)

War dogs, cats and other critters??
 

Me and my mates is ready for all eventualities!!

David "inspired" this post. (!)
The first two pics aren't mine, but fit right in.

Picture 1, Infantry;

Pic 2, watchdog corps.

Pic 3, Missy "search and destroy"

Pic 4, Chemical weapons detatchment.

Speaking of shoplifting ...
Look what hapenned in a supermarket in Aberdeen, Scotland, with an unemployed seagull.
She enters the shop, after checking that the keeper is looking in the opposite direction, and grabs a packet of chips.
The amazing thing is that she picks up allways the same brand, 'Doritos Cheese'; comes out, opens the packet and splits the contents with her bird friends.
Observe the difference of speed when she enters and after comes out the door, with the stolen product.

Ha ha !!
I used to put my groceries in the back of my truck ....
Not anymore .. :)

Fernando my friend!
I was going to post this myself when I got the chance to hunt the clip out on youtube.

Isn't she a fantastic little bird?
I live in a seaside town in an important breeding area for the sadly declining Herring-gull (like the bird in the clip). They are cheeky and love to steal chips, burgers, and anything they can from unsuspecting holiday makers in the summer.
Sadly there are those here who hate them, and many of each years new babies are killed (often deliberately) on the roads after coming off of the rooftop nesting sites as they learn to fly.

I have saved many over the years, well those that I could :( Nursed them back to health etc. Two are still daily visitors to my garden for some warm brown toast! They recognise individual people and I can easiily imagine the one in Scotland having a favourite flavour of crips!

They are smart, funny, subtle and complicated. I would rate their intelligence as very high. They can live up to 30 years.

One of my favourite creatures and probobly the thing I like most about living by the ocean.

Would you care for a few thousand of ours .......... please !! :D

SEAGULLS ARE SURVIVORS IN A CLASS WITH COCKROACHES SO I CAN'T SEE THEM BECOMING EXTINT UNLESS EVERYTHING ELSE GOES FIRST.
PERHAPS THEY HAVE MOVED AND CHANGED THEIR HABITS SO NOT AS MANY ARE TO BE FOUND IN THEIR OLD HAUNTS. HERE IN OKLAHOMA THOUSANDS CAN BE FOUND PICKING OVER THE NUMEROUS LANDFILLS PERHAPS THEY ARE EATING THE SCRAPS FROM ALL THE FAST FOOD JOINTS. IF SO WITH ALL THE CHEMICALS IN THOSE FOODS WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE GIANT OBESE SEAGULLS IN THE FUTURE. :eek:
I DO LIKE SEAGULLS AND ENJOY WATCHING THEM FLY BUT THEY CAN BE VERY CHEEKY AND CANTANKEROUS BUT WILL BE YOUR FRIEND IF YA FEED THEM. :)

I REMEMBER ONE FORUM MEMBER USED TO HAVE PET POSSUMS I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW IF YOU ARE STILL OUT THERE WITH THE POSSUM POSSIE. :D

LOL, they are adaptable for sure. They'd be in serious trouble otherwise.
Where I am they certainly couldn't survive on the remaining stocks of mackeral, herring and sand eels that genuinely were their staple diet when I was a kid. I remember watching them fish in the summer amongst huge shoals of mackeral and herring just offshore, but there just arent the fish in the coastal waters now.
They are now on the RSPB 'amber' (declining) list in the UK. 'They have suffered moderate declines over the past 25 years and over half of their UK breeding population is confined to fewer than ten sites.' (quote from RSPB website).


I'm suprised now that this thread has expanded to 'all' animals that nobody across the pond has mentioned Raccoons?
They are pretty much the cutest ninja bandits of the animal world!

Pests
 

Raccoons = Rabies here; destructive beasts that will move into your house via the chimney or gable end vent .

Coyotes (fearless) that average 60 - 70 pounds .

All on this tiny cape less than 2 miles wide . :shrug:

Thems some mighty big Kyyotes y'all grow up there. Wiki says they generally average between 15-46 pounds.
If i were you Rick, i would stop feeding 'em. ;) :D

They are Red Wolf hybrids . :eek:
The Winter den is 150 yards from the house; the Summer den is about twice as far away .
Conservation land . ;)

(spoken in hushed whispers)....tonight on Cape Nature Backyards we will be exploring the habitat of coyote/wolf hybrids at Rick's place. Oh no, there goes Rick's barbequed sirloin steak down into the summer den...
Well yes Jim, that is to be expected, it is a part of their natural hunter/scavenger nature after all....

Ever think of domesticating them and selling them to the tourists. :rolleyes: :D

How sharper than a serpents tooth ...... :rolleyes: :shrug:

So this is where everybody went!

Behold the Acme hover-dog Model M-78 (bottom) and the prototype Model X-2 (top).

The former has a very low (aerodynamic) drag coefficient. Note how the said hoverdog folds back its ears, and legs and tail tucked close to the body, for a more streamline performance.

PS - Found the pic in Reddit :D

:D :D I must enlist some... :cool: .... to add to my 'army'

Regards David

!Hi Rod, nice to know from you! Yes, she is a Blue Heeler, and she has three puppets, now about five months old. The father is another Blue Heeler from a friend. I don´t have pictures of them right now, thus I did not post their´s. I like this kind of dog. The other is a chow-chow with very bad temper...but not with me.

The belgium shepherd in fact is an excellent modern war dog, and a very useful companion for a police man. I like them better for such purposes than it´s german counterpart.

What about war mules? This sweet thing killed a mountain lion
