It's Flic... Jul 13, 2007

...that is, cop in French, don't ask me why.
Small, streeter, bad eyes, half left ear. She was almost dead when one of my sons rescued it hidden in a warm car engine. Lovely. Veeery independent. I hardly see it.
The dog is Simón, white labrador. Cute as he could be.

I'm being guarded against them ;-) Jul 13, 2007

Gypsy, our big, beautiful 3-year-old German Shepherd (or Alsatian, if you prefer), is lying at my feet as I type this, protecting me from the felines of the neighbourhood...

where the geckos roam Jul 13, 2007

No feline assistants here, although my old feline friend Tassu - now 18 years old - is still going strong (if being deaf, complaining a lot and sleeping 22 hours a day counts as going strong) back home at my mother's place.

The animals best represented in my house are the small geckos (jing-jok in thai) that hang out on the walls and sometimes run across the floors (yes, even in the upstairs living room..) around my house. The baby ones are actually kind of cute. The adult ones not

The animals best represented in my house are the small geckos (jing-jok in thai) that hang out on the walls and sometimes run across the floors (yes, even in the upstairs living room..) around my house. The baby ones are actually kind of cute. The adult ones not so much, but as long as they eat mosquitoes and thereby reduce my chances of catching dengue fever, I don't mind.

Cagliostro Jul 13, 2007

My 2,5 years old cat. He like my shadow: never too far from me! Sleeping on the desk, on the printer, on the scanner...and whenever I print something, he looks into the printer waiting for the sheets coming out, then tries to take them:)

Pupuce Jul 13, 2007

Hi Tuliparola,

You're right: I'm a good and happy slave
Pupuce is an affectionate name usually given to a dear person (boyfriend/girlfriend or to children by parents).
"Puce" in French is a flea; so "Pupuce" could mean a very small create to protect and cuddle.
And I must say it perfectly plays its part
Have a nice week-end.
Cheers,
Catherine

Clarisa: arena = Sand, but Rin? Abbr. of RinTinTin?

Catherine: Pupuce does this mean something or just onomatopoeic? I guess you are a good slave.;-)

My black cat = Tamira
My calico cat = Vida (because she gave birth to 8 kitten)
My tabby male cat = Micky (or Mausmann) - He was a stray cat and thought that his visits would be of temporary nature only therefore I did not choose a fancy name. Actually I would prefer a Japanese or Spanish name.

Regards
Steffi

Pripps Jul 13, 2007

7-year old tabby named after a Swedish brewery and more of a hindrance than a help when he's feeling affectionate (or hungry).
