I wish to welcome all Lens-Artists photo challengers and respondents to my new blog and my kind of excess.
Ahh, sorry, did I say pest?
PETS!
Without much overture, here is the pet photo story that wrote itself today. This is not my official Calendar 2018 post which is coming up, but when I was going through last September’s photos to pick my favourites, I noticed a bit of a red thread and the familiar cast of characters. Here they are. If you click on them, they will grow.

Our one and only pet. 
Neighbour. His pet status is dubious. I’m afraid they change them too often for that. 
Love interest. Her name is Ginger. 
Local thugs. 
“Yaaaawn. I heard you.” 
“Don’t let the looks deceive you. I’m a sweetheart.” 
“Hi, dog. You don’t scare me.” 
“Yup. See if I care.” 
“I’m new.” 
“My eyes are wide open to see you better.” 
“Can it be?” 
“Are you… Dog??” 
“Look at that.” “I say.” 
“I’m just going to lie here.” 
“And we are going to sit into the sunset.” 
“Are you talking to me?” 
“I’m going to eat this. It’s my prey. I’m a wild child.” 
“I’m going to sleep here. Humid and organic. I fit.” 
“I’m just going to sit here all royal like. Think Egypt.” 
“And I, I’m going to finish this if you don’t mind.” 
“We still can’t get over it. Dog!”

You definitely have the mind of a cat!

I realised I haven’t replied to this comment. I think I was too stunned upon reading it. 😀 I never had this hunch! I see myself much more of a dog person, including the fact that my Chinese horoscope sign is dog. But you can’t fool Susanne. 😉 Thank you!

Or Susanne is a fool. Or Manja is a cat in dog’s clothing?

I’m not even a dog person and I’m learning to love Bestia. Those three cats are familiar and your captions make me smile.

Hihi, thanks, Tina. He doesn’t care in the least though. He is curious about them and doesn’t trust them, but I think he likes to have them around.

Oh, they are? Who? The three cats? I wouldn’t know, I have never been around cats much (or had one at home). Thanks for visiting, K.

I’ve seen something hilarious: A man is petting a dog saying “I guess I’m a dog person after all”. Then the cat pulls the dog mask of its face and flips him a finger. 😀
