Happy Christmas...from my gang!

jaleely · 11-27-2011, 05:15 AM

I'd say Happy Holidays to you all...but the theme really was Christmas

(Oh but happy holidays anyway!)

Bowser (of course)
Daisy the beagle
Saphie the ball python
Violet the rose hair tarantula
Dragon the red eyed crock skink
Chocobo the cockatiel

LOL

Bowser looks pleased as usual. LOL...cute pics though

Very cute pictures! I wonder if Bowser was thinking: "If I let momma take pictures of me in this Santa outfit, maybe I'll get lots of presents for Christmas!"

Bowser has perfected the look of the dogs on the SPCA adverts!! I can just imagine the voiceover...'my mummy used to feed me, walk me, play with me but made me wear outfits that made me very sad...if you can pay just $5 a week it will save animals like poor Bowser from wearing costumes for peoples entertainment!'
Cheer up Bowser, Santa Paws is on his way!!!

I gotta say, even tho she human is horrified by spiders, that a tarantula in a santa hat is the cutest thing ever... not to mention one named violet! haha!

You're crazy, hahahahahahahaha

just curious....does Bowser or Daisy go after the other critters? Do the critters go after them? Can't get this picture out of my head with everyone on the living room floor at the same time....My money is on Saphie to be the victor.

LOL Henry's mum, hubby and i laughed and laughed at that analogy! hehehe He's such a spoiled brat. He was just sleepy. But yeah, sad he was wearing a costume too *LOL* he'll live!

Barney's Pal...Daisy is totally oblivious to everyone except Bowser. Bowser is curious, but very easy going and sweet with everyone! I have photos on my facebook of him with a praying mantis on his nose, him checking out spiders (Violet is a very docile sweet girl that someone was going to LET GO...basically do die out here in this weather, and I said i'd take her.)
Bowser really wants to play with the big snake, Jasper. He's a 4 foot long ball python. He's not that interested in Bowser, but Bowser gets so bouncy and excited when Jasper is out. We have to watch him to make sure he stays away actually just in case he sticks a big paw on Jasper or something *lol*

Okay, so the only real dilemma we have is that Bowser thinks the bird is some kind of squeaker-toy *lol*
Took a while to teach him NO when she would try to fly. We thought one day he'd jump up and chomp her (oh yes, jump! He liked her that much! lol)
They do reasonably well right now.

Jasper would like the bird too, actually *lol*

We monitor pretty well and only let the real trustworthy animals near each other. The snake that is with Bowser in all the photos is Saphie (Sapphire) the same one in the hat.

Edit: Bowser (and Daisy) are very tolerant of our rescue operation. We have 11 snakes, 10 "bugs", 1 lizard, 1 bird, and tons of saltwater, and freshwater fish. Most everyone I do keep away from the dogs actually, but when I can mix'em...how can i resist the photo opportunity? buwaha! Bowser is so gentle. The only thing he's ever been afraid of is my friend's horse. Just a bit too big to get friendly with, so we stayed away *lol*

Thanks for sharing those pics....what a wonderful crew you have!

Wow Bowsah has LOTS of critters to play with, love 'em all decked out for Christmas. My Dad has a cockatiel named Spike, Annie likes him but I wouldn't dare have them out together on the floor.....she has a strong hunting instinct

We had a schnauzer years ago that would tolerate as Spike would pick the hair between his footpads while he was asleep, lol. Spike is getting up there......at least 20+ years old.
