June 2009 Photo Challenge - Pets & sunbeams - Pets in the sun

Can't believe June is tomorrow, but it is.

Any suggestions for June that are good for both cats and dogs?


Thx - Marko

My first thought was water....but something tells me the kitties wouldn't appreciate that. :rolleyes:

Someone suggested last month (sorry can't remember who :o) to do "Pets in the Sun" and "Sunbeams" which would work for the indoor kitties. :thumbs up

Good one! I like that too :thumbs up

Love the pets in the sun Rainbow--great suggestion. :thumbs up

sunbeams work for me :cloud9:

or we could do the colour yellow :shrug:

Pets in the sun/Sunbeams has the most support so it's the theme of the month.
Merging suggestion posts now and changing the thread title.
Ok then who is posting first? Thx - Marko

Some of you will have seen this photo already, but it's my favourite picture of Charlie and he's lying in a sunbeam, so it works!

I might have posted this before, can't remember...

"remember to use plenty of sunscreen"

AHHHHHHHHHHHH.....Basking in the sun

EOF, aww, cute pic of Charlie .....just makes you want to rub that fluffy belly. :cloud9:

Melinda, I love that pic of Brina :D ....there is absolutely no way either of my boys would allow me to dress them up like that. :laughing:

3GirlsDad, lovely pics of your big girls. :lovestruck:

Rainbow, Poor Brina puts up with anything *L*

dad of 3girls....wow...gorgeous, I adore the first shot!!

EndofFashion...makes you want to get down and roll in the sun!

This is about 2 months old but one of my favs

This is as close as my cats will ever get to the sun...

Awwww, the drooly boys. :cloud9:

Joeyjoejoe, that pic is sooo sweet. :lovestruck:

JoeJoe: I love that pic :cloud9:

jjj...I love that pic too! :thumbs up

Here are my two...again...but mom is so proud LoL!

ok thats it, I want to find a sunbeam to go lay in!! great pics!!

Great start everyone - soooo cute.
Finally an easy photo shoot for Ziglet! I won't have to disturb his Royal Highness when i shoot this one. :laughing:

LOL Marko!!!! Ziglet might enjoy this photo shoot

Melinda- I think that may be a form of animal abuse:frustrated:... Guess she will just haaave to come and live with me now:D Pleeeeaaaaaaase! :pray:


Great shots everyone! love them all!

Very sweet pics, especially the bathing suit :laughing::laughing::laughing:

I am so glad to see other furkids in the sun. Ginger is not much of a sun dog but will swim. Hobo HATES getting his paws wet much less swimming but he has been following this sunbeam around the dinning room/living room practically from the day he moved in...

By lunchtime, he has followed the sunbeam all around until he can't lie in it anymore...this is one of my faves...

Nap-inducing sunbeams are the best! Aztec with his sleepy-face on:

The sunlight made it quite obvious that there were no treats in the treat-mouse:

I'll try to get some of Onnie :thumbs up

SCM- Aztec has such amazing eyes! WOW!

Diandpat - what a cutie patootie!!

We only have four windows in my little apartment and one of the biggest ones is the fire exit and the table is next to it. the cats always sleep on the table when we were away and run when we came on home cause i didn't like them up there. well i gave up and here is one i got of serena enjoying her beam. she's such a pretty cat.

omg what a great subject for this month, these pics are all so wonderful!!

Onster, daughter was not impressed when she came outside to see what I was up to and saw her 4 legged sister wearing her bathing suit *L* made me wash it 4 times before she'd wear it again *L* the visor is a doggie one so I was safe there.


babymomma *L* not a chance of her going to live with you!! besides, you'd send her back so fast, she's a very "vocal" doggie, not barking...but talking, complaining, grumbling, I've never had a dog talk so much, and that includes our late husky with his yodels *L*

Great pics everyone, this month's challenge is a big hit with the kitties!!!
joeyjoejoe- I absolutely LOVE that picture!
I will have to see if I can dig up some sunbeam pics.

Wow! What great pictures! Too many to comment on but I am in love with those Dogue de Bourdeaux :lovestruck: and love all the napping kitties :cloud9:

Below, Kailey and Rupert enjoying the evening sun.

Great pic LP but I gotta ask? Do you always have a camera handy when you hang out laundrey? :laughing::laughing: gorgeous as usual!

Awww Everyone has got awesome sunbeam pics :thumbs up

CClover I love Topaze's napping tray-bed that's too cool! :cool:

It's a No No to sleep on the Videotron ''machine'' and it's easier for her to see outside :)

I guess Kitty should of had SPF50 lotion on before crashing in the window sill. Please ignore the scratched up window sill although this one is in better shape then our dining room one. :yell:

and more Duffy sunbeam these ones at my apt :cloud9:

Love everyone's photos.

Here is one of Gerry in his magazine basket.

Great pic LP but I gotta ask? Do you always have a camera handy when you hang out laundrey? :laughing:

Not always but I do carry it on me frequently for those "darn, I wish I had my camera" moments :D.

Here's Jasmine intently watching a bird and resting in the sun.

Ok, new here, but want to play along. So how do I post pictures! Do I need to down load my pics to somewhere else first?
Just posted a few pics on my blog this morning. But would love to show them off here.

Awww Marko, the yawning pic is purrrrfect!!!! Love it!!

marko is your kit reaching for a real high c note? looks like a tenor really belting in out

marko is your kit reaching for a real high c note? looks like a tenor really belting in out

That would imply that he's actually expending energy. He's just yawning cuz he's tired from resting :D

Marko...your kitty's colouring reminds me of a triple choc cake...beautiful...perhaps it is just time to eat sups. :rolleyes:

I spotted Molly snoozing in a sunbeam this evening and couldn't resist.... :cloud9:

Newbie here! Here are some photos of my furbabies Baby, Bo & Majik :)

And a few more ;) Oliver, Lua and Sadie :)

I snapped a new one of Zoe last night enjoying the soft grass and a little sunshine.

Great pics of everyones pets. It's wonderful to see them all enjoying the sunshine that has been so lacking this cold wet spring. Here's a couple of Baxter and Bentley. Baxter shies away from sun so had to get a pic of him at dawn. :laughing:

Cindy

We finally have sun!

Love the pics everyone! Nothing better than seeing pups and kits enjoying the sun. :cloud9:

A few from yesterday :D Indie was trying to tan her belly! :laughing:

Here is a few when Stella was young (march 2009)

OMG! OMG! So many neat sunbeam shots! I've just skimmed through fast because I haven't been on in awhile. The one that really made me stop and laugh was Duffy's mug shot in the sun! Pure pleasure! This challenge thread is one of the best!

A shot of the gigantic bunny rabbit that lost it's way and ended up in my SIL's backyard....enjoying the sun and a carrot :D

Here is a few of Shaggy in the sun......
