An extremely silly e-mail conversation about a missing cat and someone who absolutely refused to do a proper poster . . . http://www.wtry.com/pages/missingmissy.html
Here ya go, Tsering! This is our common wild rabbit in the Southeastern U.S. This is an Eastern Cottontail Rabbit. I took this picture last week behind my drugstore, about 2 miles from my house. They are solitary animals that RARELY group together, but tend to live as individuals.
Meet Eric our brand new Border Terrier puppy!! He's 9 weeks old and we picked him up last Thursday after years of planning to have a dog and checking out breeders etc (we like planning!! ) Holly our cat and Eric tolerate each other fairly well so far. Holly is the boss and a hiss or an evil stare is enough to send him running for cover.He's hillarious!
Before the RAS picnic in Greenwich, Hanny and myself wandered around Mudchute Farm on the Isle of Dogs and I took some pictures:Mudchute Farm
