TSC - WWF Friends

2008.01.18
Oh, this is so comfortable I may never get up.

See how it's just my size. Purrfect to curl up on.

I'm trying to sleep here!

What? No, you can't borrow it! Get your own bed.

Hey, what's going on over there?

What's she taking photos of now?

My new friend arrived! It looks like a dog but it doesn't smell like one! (Can you believe how nosy he is?)

Not a dog but a Gray Wolf

Spike thinks he's soft and cuddly.

But he was suspicious of the black-footed ferrets. He thinks they look shifty.

So he's glad they'll be going to Arizona soon!

This weeks Spike Chronicles feature some of Spike's WWF friends. I bet you thought it was going to be wrestling dudes, didn't ya? :P

Just so you know, Spike and I do know how lucky we are that we have a good life, food to eat, a roof over our heads, and live in a safe place. Uh, not to mention the cool photography toys we have to play with. Well, okay, that's just me. But he gets toys too! And comfort things like his bed (which he is now in love with). :)

So this year, we decided to use some of the money we received for xmas to adopt some animals from the World Wildlife Fund. We decided to adopt animals from North America.

Guess what the 3M&Ms are getting for Valentine's!

Info from the WWF
The Gray Wolf - Did You Know?
"Gray wolves are part of the dog or Canidae family, a group characterized by their intelligence and adaptability. Wolves, like other members of the dog family, are very territorial, laying claim to familiar den sites, travel routes, and feeding grounds. After years of protective captivity in zoos, the endangered Mexican gray wolf--the rarest, southernmost and most genetically distinct sub-species of the gray wolf in North America--is gradually being returned to its natural Southwestern desert habitat. "

Black-Footed Ferrets - Did You Know?
"Found only in the Great Plains, the Black-footed ferret is a solitary and nocturnal animal. This cousin of the weasel lives in burrows which provide housing, shelter, and protection from predators. The Black-footed ferret remains one of North America's most endangered mammals despite restoration efforts: its principal prey, the prairie dog, has been reduced to less than 2 percent of its original abundance."

MHJphotos Wonderful! The emotions Spike shares with us are just great! The ho-hum expression in #4 is priceless! And the inquisitive expression in #6 peeking around the corner is just fantastic! You obviously have a knack for capturing all of his moods!

Congrats too on the WWF adoptions ... Very cool!

kangshung An interesting Spike set Lisa - he sure looks happy in his new bed! The WWF adoptions for the 3M&Ms are a great idea.

SheriJ Very cute love the new fuzzy critters! I want to be on your gift list!! ;)
Glad Spike has adapted well to the new bed. It took my cats nearly 3 weeks to get use to theirs. The peek around the corner is way too cute...

maharba I like the ferret. I'm sure we will see Spike in a group photo with his friends in the future sometime.

Genevieve 6 is very nice

Jannie I learn so much from Spike, I mean Lisa! Thanks for the WWF info. I love the whole bed thing, funny how he turned up his nose at first. The same thing has happened in my house. Spike is looking handsome as ever! I love the intently curious look in #6
Jannie · 2008-01-18: 13:46
lexlevans what a fabulous idea and gift! i'm sure they'll love it! my aunt adopted a llama in south america for my mom's x-mas present. such a cool way to give back.

as for spike and his modeling - i'm loving #6!!!

and i DID think WWF was the worldwide wrestling federation and was very curious to see spike wrestle... haha, next time...

aknor The Spike chronicles are a hoot!! He is the most handsome cat I have ever seen...part stud, part Mr. Cool Cat, part cuddle bug...I love him in #6! Thanks for making me smile :)

emmetan haha i like no 6
emmetan · 2008-01-19: 06:05
jwideman I love the cute little ferrets! (That's probably the only time I'll ever use "cute" and "ferret" in the same sentence!) The nosy shots (#6, #7) cracked me up!
jwideman · 2008-01-20: 12:52
jagungal Great series Vollenda; especially love 5 & 6.
