February 2009 Photo Challenge - Best friends

Best freidns sounds cool. maybe something like this?

What's on tap for this month? We did love/cuddly/kissy stuff last year Feb so....:shrug: ideas anyone?

LOL, I have no idea .....other than Valentines's Day and Groundhog Day, what else is February known for besides dirty snow and slush? :yuck: :frustrated: :rolleyes:

Feb birthstone is amethyst and the birth flower is the violet (and primrose) :shrug: what about a pets w/something purple challenge :laughing:

LOL.....there's a few members here that love that colour so will likely agree with you. :D

Or we could go with the zodiac signs.....

Any pets born:

January 20 - February 18 are Aquarius and therefore Water Bearers.

And, any born:

February 19 - March 20 are Pisces and therefore Fish Bearers.

or pets with their best friend? be it another animal or a stuffie?/toy?

oh oh melinda i like that idea

The best friends thing is a great idea,we'll see tons of cute pics:thumbs up

I like the best friends or the kissy smootchy idea as the 2 here like to kissy smootchy.

Best friends it is then - merging and changing thread title now.
many thanks everyone!

This First image is by MARTYnBENTLEY sorry I should have left this post unmerged but SOOO cute!

Our pictures are of Bentley and his Uncle/Mentor/Best Friend Marley the Yellow
Lab. He belongs to Bentleys mom's family. They've been best friends since Bentley was about 3 months. In the driving pics we're on our way for a swim at Buntzen Lake, Bentley and Marley's favorite place.

From the begining Harley has loved roxy, although feeling is not mutual, LOL

Beautiful pups, all of them!!!

Timmy and Tinka in one of their favourite spots.

Our cats have always been best friends with us (and each other) since we brought them home from the SPCA. We are grateful to have them :lovestruck: they are the best cuddle buddies . Noel is also starting to be Maggies buddie, Maggie will even let her have the bed :laughing: We're not sure who is friends with Sparkie yet (other than us of course) but I will take a pic as soon as I see someone warm up to her more. Enjoy :thumbs up .

Luvmypitgirls.that is such a sweet picture.:cloud9:

Thanks angeldogs, Kato is such a sweet boy, he took such good care of Abby, when she came to us. He was always checking on her and trying to comfort her. About a week after the amputation, Abby wasn't doing so good, it was like she had lost her zest for life, Kato wouldn't leave her side, he was always kissing and cuddling up to her, at night he would sleep beside her crate. He brought her toys, he even offered his Kong...his prized possession. Eventually she came around, and the two of them have been close ever since. He is such a Romeo, he takes good care of his "women".

Awwww LMPG's your very own Romeo & Juliet :cloud9: So sweet together those 2 are :lovestruck:

What beautiful pictures everyone! Looking at them makes me realize how much I miss having two doggies in the house, so I thought I would post some pictures of when Harley and Buster were best friends....well, they were never really BEST friends, Harley tolerated Buster :D

And after having my grandson with me for a week, Buster has a new best friend! :lovestruck:

Well you know, Buster could easily acquire a little 4 legged buddy:D

You have no idea how many times I have come close to getting another tzu....just not sure I could handle two right now :shrug:

You have no idea how many times I have come close to getting another tzu....just not sure I could handle two right now :shrug:

I hear ya. When I got Oksana, I'd only really just been thinking about a playmate for Vlad. When the vet said they had kittens in their kennels after taking Vlad for one of his vaccines, I wasn't sure I was ready for two. After I saw her, I knew I'd be bringing her home. When I came upon Maks and Kiska, it hadn't even occurred to me to even get another cat, much less two! And Czari, well she also just sort of happened. :laughing:

I guess when the time is right, it will just happen.

Thanks angeldogs, Kato is such a sweet boy, he took such good care of Abby, when she came to us. He was always checking on her and trying to comfort her.

Awwww i love those kind of stories.most humans could learn a lesson from Kato.

Oh these shots are unbelievably cute:highfive::lovestruck:

If you haven't already done so and you want us to consider using your pics for our upcoming newsletter to make your fur-monkey a star, then add your name to this thread.

And having her regular evening snuggle with Yeti.

Everyone's got such great pics :cloud9:

I love this thread! :lovestruck: It's the best!

Finally caught them near each other while resting.. As soon as I took the picture they ran away. I think they are embarrased to be seen cuddling together. I know they do it, I catch them sometimes, but it always ends when they know I've seen them!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3587/3300590148_b610fd0de0.jpg

:laughing: Cody's face is all "uh-oh she caught us now" :D those two are so cute cuddling :lovestruck:
