Hi all, I haven't posted much, but I have a request. My little Gabey has to go to the vet today and isn't very fond of vet visits, he has to get his summer shave ( he's a long hair who currently has some mats), and also has to get routine shots...so say a little prayer for him or send some happy vibes his way , AND ME LOL :) He makes quite the scene :rolleyes:

Robyn

Gabe says," Mommy, I feel naked without all of my furr...."

The vets get all kinds of scared animals in there.....So what if Gabe is high on the list! They are equipt for such situations, and they will be glad to take your check for services rendered!

Hope Gabe relaxes a little. Sure!;) ;)

Yes, it's "Make-over Thursday" for Gabe! LOL! He'll be sporting the "Spencer cut" when he comes out! ;)

I'm sure it is very scary for Gabe to get moved from his normal surroundings. I know how Butter fights me, just getting in the carrier. Good luck today. I know he will look terrific when he gets home!! :)

Now that's an idea I like!!!! :rolleyes: Wonder why Dr. Robinson wouldn't just file Butter's teeth down while he was under??? :D

:) never mind about that vet-visit !!
They are used to scared pets !!!
Just keep petting your sweet Gabe while the vet is doing his/her work , and it will be over in no time !!!:D

Success !!!!!!!!!!!:p

Poor baby :( I hope the vet finds him well.... How did he do?

OK, Gabe has had his yearly visit for his shots and his "shave and a haircut." Here he is before.....

Yup, that's my little cutie pie lion :)

He looks adorable, but that's probably no consolation to him, right?

How did he do at the vets? Okay? Not too much trauma?

OH MY - HE MUST BE HORRIFIED!


Just kidding. I bet he feels unencumbered, for sure! I saved the pics (thank you Pam) and will print them out!

He actually has this "been there, done that" look after the hair cut.....etc.

:D

Amber Lee... he has to be sedated for the grooming...so he's probably only awake at the vet's for 15 minutes total...

As soon as he's home, he's fine...

Oh, and he smells really good now too :)

We're both glad its over!!

I think that's a pretty smart looking do, Gabe! Spencer The Lion can comiserate, no doubt.

He looks like a little kitten in the "after" shot. So sweet.....how could he be mean??? I know, I know....I have one of those too. :D

Am I the only one that can't see nepsnapshot pictures anymore???:confused: Gabe is such a beautiful kitty (from his other picture on the other thread) but I can't see him here. Anybody??:(

AmberLee
05-17-2002, 06:16 PM
??? Before I could see both photos, but now that you mention it I can only see the "Before" shot and not the "After" clipping shot... Rats! It's a really great one.

Pam

Oh boy, don't tell me that netsnapshots is not allowing photo sharing any more. :( Woe is us Pet Talkers once again! :(

Pam,

That lion cut is hysterical!! He has a look on his face like "You looking at me????" He looks so much BIGGER with his fur. What a beauty!

Hey Gabe ~

Ya looked inna mirror since ya came home! :eek:

Hopefully, it'll all grow back in before winter.

As for the disappearing NetSnapShot.com photos ~
Gabe's photos link to a message stating:

"This item has exceded it's allowed link access"

Think that's puter jive for "It's been called up and viewed too many times". This must be one of the ways NetSnapShot.com is limiting their "free" site without charging money or totally eliminating the viewing of their photos on other sites.
Wonder if there is any way to reset or restore the photo for more off-site viewing?

Uhh-ooooh ~ Lookie what just happened to our lil NetSnapShot.com signature photos :mad:! Same darn thing - "Exceeded it's allowed link access"...

Guess it's time to hunt up another photo storage site :rolleyes:... This is getting tiresome to have to do every couple of months! :mad:

UppyDate: We just joined up with the http://www.imagestation.com gang - and uploaded our Thummies... Back in the lime-light for anudder cupla weeks! :D

Phred, thanks for the explanation! I just noticed that another Pet Talker who uses Image Station now has a red "x" in her signature. :( :( :(

Pam ~

Look again ~
Tuxluvr and Sara luvs her Tinky are both using NetSnapShot.com to store their Signature Thummys -
NOT ImageStation.

We just joined http://www.ImageStation.com and inserted the ImageStation photo locations in our signature ~
and WooHoo! Sig Pix again! :D

Wonder how long THIS will last?! :rolleyes:

Pam
05-17-2002, 09:46 PM
Oops! I thought Sara was an ImageStation user. Senior moment I guess I thought when I clicked on Properties I saw ImageStation or I must need new glasses. We are sure getting practice with loading lots of pics on different sites, aren't we! LOL!

Just realized what I did! (Thank Goodness because I thought I was losing it!) In the tuxluvr's post "Netsnapshots too good to be true" Sara says she switched to ImageStation but her signature had the red "x" and I was assuming it was a signature from that site that had also gone POOF! :D

Koxkahuman, ok, I admit I'm not big on geography. So where in the world is Costa Brava,Catalonia? Your Koxka is a real cutie and sounds like she has the Vet's staff wrapped around her little paw. :D

Hi,T&P Mom! I don't blame you for not knowing where Catalonia is.Is such a small place in that world!Catalonia is a mediterranean country between
France and Spain,with its own culture and language.We are under the administration of Spain.
Costa Brava is the north coast.The capital is Barcelona,where the Olimpic Games took place i 92.

The kitty in the picture is Palloo,I will post pics of all of them(one of those days...)

Hi,Auggie! It sounds like you got a great time
in Calella!Yes,I know Calella is only one hour car drive from home,although I prefer the north is more rough.Anyway if you never come again let me known....and you Lynnes...and you T&P Mom...and
everybody.
