I do like Daddy looking after his tired out Alsatian.

Cute
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Apparently, my dog also could have did a better job at posting this pic. :-)

how's this one? [flickr]

This might seem kinda lame, but I got teary eyed looking at that pic.
That is a full blown HappyHug, the doggie is soooo happy, he has an almost human expression. Looks like he missified daddy ^^

Well I just read today that Maine Coons follow one around and are 9-18lbs in size, so it's possible Grace is part Maine Coon, neat.

Purebread male Maine Coon kitties often go up to around 25 pounds.
Depends on the breeder. Lori's brothers are getting to the 19 pound range right now.

They are my favorite breed of cat. Most adorable and beautiful breed I know.
They are incredibly intelligent and very inquisitive and attentive to the one they are attached to.

Mixed breed or not that still sounds like Grace, I've had to baby lock all the cabinet doors She could get to, as She liked trying to open them or to just open them part way to get attention, really annoying, their effective too and yeah sticks like glue to Me works here, so She could be part Maine Coon. Those are some big ass house cats, lovable though, but still big...

One of Lori's Maine Coons, Leo, figured out a long time ago how to open most of the doors in the house by pulling down on the lever type door handles.
His brother Ty will then follow him.
One of their favorites is a guest bedroom that is always closed. Lori has to keep a TV tray in front of the door so he can't get at the handle.

If guests are over and we need to use that TV tray, it does not take long before Leo is back there and pops the door open...LOL.

And, I was going to tell my friend Victor that it had been a long road, a very long road, the sort of road that needed a 64 block engine, [nah... My buddy Mark would tell ya, a genuine hand man with the motion of mechanics] Victor new the b roads, them broads weren't so bad, nah, I love em, control a thrill in a dress, nah, all English clothes for me, my view was 'Mr Shoes East coast', my friend Victor new the mods in the situation when at the end of the day, they would be 'denying' all involvement, these hands ain't pleasing most, it's a russian example for me. My gal Kenzie was on patrol, she was the most reliable foot agent, clean with the gridmen, tallying the night watchmen in the neck of the blood wasn't where Krypton was leading, I true though, man they hurt them flagrancies.

I just looked up the wiki on Maine Coons, the one that is most prominently named is a Captain Jenks who was a black-and-white Maine Coon of the Horse Marines... So I think Grace is actually a Maine Coon, Hot Dog, I stumbled on to a good one then, a real keeper, not bad for $10.00 and yeah some gas... The colors of Maine Coons are mentioned Here.

Love to see them, Monday. Does that mean you will be growing a forest of Eucalyptus for them in your back garden?

As anyone knows I am not the "Wet Rag" sort of person, but I think people should be aware of the hazards of close association with our dear neighbours of the field and forests. Racoons!

@ Celt - Thank you. I am well aware of the dangers associated with raccoons. Eric is in charge of doo-doo removal, when there is need, and it has happened a few times. Fortunately, most of the time they poop someplace besides my backyard. I don't know where they go and I don't want to know where they go!!!

@ Scarecrow - LOL!
