Stars are notorious for spending time with their pets. Whether it's a pint-sized pooch or a potbellied pig, pictures of celebs and their "best friends" are irresistible.
just uploaded many pics of my beloved black cat. now i have 169 photos of blacky on flickr. i'm addicted to this thing. feel like taking pictures of my cat all the time. never thought having an online photo album could be so much fun.
this is a picture of paula sleeping with my stuffed baby simba & nala from the lion king on my bed. she looks like a stuffed kitty, especially with the half-closed eyes, in the pic, don't you think? my brother took this a few days ago and i smiled when i saw it. :)
so yesterday i went to dog show 2006 at jiexpo in arena prj, kemayoran. it's a place where dog breeders and enthusiasts from all over indonesia come to showcase their best dogs and compete in a show. i saw many familiar and not-so-familiar looking dogs there. there were labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, samoyeds, cocker spaniels, scottish terriers, collies, shetland sheepdogs, weimaraners, siberian huskies, malteses, shih tzus, bulldogs, chihuahuas, pomeranians, pekingeses, miniature pinschers, dachshunds, st. bernards, dalmatians, great danes, poodles, doberman pinschers, rhodesian ridgebacks, chow chows, and many more that i don't remember. there were supposed to be german shepherds and rottweilers as well but they got omitted from the show due to some schedule problems.
when i got to the place, they were in the middle of showcasing labrador retrievers in one of the rings. labrador retriever is one dog breed that i'd love to have if i ever got the chance to keep one as a pet. so i rushed to the ring to find a better view of the dogs. boy was i pleased. the dogs were so beautiful. they had big bodies, shiny coats (mostly in black, only one in cream, and none in chocolate) and all were pleasant-looking. i wanted to buy one right then and there. but i didn't of course.
i also saw a scottish terrier and a cocker spaniel in the flesh for the very first time. soooo adorable. i didn't know those dogs were that small as adults. you'd think from watching the walt disney classic lady and the tramp that a cocker spaniel is at least as big as a pomeranian. but no, it is not. it's so tiny that even a petite person like me could carry one in the arms. i guess dogs of small breeds such as the scottish terrier and the cocker spaniel are more suitable to me than ones of larger breeds such as labrador retriever. i've always wanted a lab tho.
on the way home, i heard on the radio that cat exhibiton is coming up this friday. i'm so looking forward to that.
looking at the photo gallery for the movie the jungle book on imdb makes me want to watch the movie really bad. i mean, just look at the pictures below. beautiful cats + classic b&w picture is a combo that can't be beat. i wonder if i can find the dvd here in jakarta. i'd definitely buy it if i see one.
