They are all lovely cats Aleta.Max is very handsome.I love his bushy tail.My 4 year old son thinks he is lovely and said can we get him out of the computer. 
I have a blue point Birman that looks very similar to your cat on the right.

Hi Ellen,
I was born in Freeport but I haven't been back to the usa for 35 years as we decided to live here back in England.All my dads side of the family are in the usa although my mum was british.

I'll play too :dance:
1.My birthplace is Long Island,New York even though I have lived in the uk most of my life.
2.If I could move anywhere I liked North Yorkshire is my favourite place especially around Goathland(where they film Heartbeat)
3.I worked as a postlady for quite a few years before I had my last child.

Many a time Debbie I have ended up in someones garden with my horse being traffic shy and when trying to avoid the traffic  taking me where she was not supposed to be going
You look like you had a great day out Lynette.The horse looks very behaved too.It makes me cringe to see you riding in shorts though as I used to try to when it was hot in the summer but the stirrup leathers were always nipping my legs so I had to wear jodphurs and it used to be so hot in those.I used to ride daily before I had the kids-I loved it.

He is a really lovely bear Karen-he has the sort of face that makes you want to pick him up and give him a big hug    
I love your avatar bear too

I am sorry to hear of your loss Eileen.At least you have the thought that you gave her 16 happy years.
We nearly lost our 6 year old irish setter just before xmas with a twisted stomach.Our doberman woke us in the middle of the night whining and he wouldn't shut up.We called the vet and they said to keep an eye on him and we went back to bed but the doberman still wouldn't shut up so my husband took him to the vet and we found out that they can die within an hour from this condition so we were very lucky.It is amazing how your other animals know that something is going on because as soon as my husband left the house the dobie went straight in his bed and went to sleep-if it hadn't been for him we could have lost our dog. He is on the mend now and getting thoroughly spoilt.

These puppies of yours are great Krista and this one is no exception.I think he is my favourite so far    
Laurie :hug:

I had to laugh when I saw this one Tami :crackup:
Laurie :hug:

Making bears can help to take your mind off things and spending money- that really helps
Laurie :hug:

They are lovely little girls Kerren.I hope all goes well and she can come home to keep her sister company as they must miss each other.Lots of :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Luckily Jane and Aleta started the party as I didn't realise it was today.I have been so busy and haven't even had much time to make bears
Carry on with the party as I am off to have a nice soak in the bath-I might pop back in later-my poor fingers need a rest as they are not used to all this typing and my eyes need a rest with all this reading
Laurie :hug: .

I like your philosophy on cleaning Tammy-what a great excuse-I like excuses where cleaning is involved.
Laurie :hug:

Hi Sarah Jane,
Merry Xmas.It is 20.45 pm here in the uk.Have you finished wrapping your childrens presents up yet.I have a large family like you and HATE wrapping presents-when you get past 30 or so the novelty wears off.
Laurie :hug:

Hi Jodi,
I am sure a party must be more fun than cleaning  :bday: We have already had choccies ,cookies and bubbly.
Catherine Antwerp looks a lovely place and that  cathedral looks stunning.
Laurie :hug:

Hi Catherine,
I think blokes are harder to buy for than women as there are a lot more things that women want than men so there is always plenty of choice.
Laurie :hug:

Tammy those cookies look lovely-I could quite easily try them all.It's a pity I just can't quite get to them
Laurie :hug:

Hi everyone and merry xmas.I'll have a choccie even though I have just had a mars bar-theres always room for more
