Lets talk about our avatars!

[KimberlyM]

Mine is Clara Bow, our pug. I am not sure why our daughter named her after the silent film star. She is very verbal for a pug. She is now 6.

Twin fawns. Picture taken by me last summer in my back yard. I watched them grow up from tiny babies till fall when they were finally big enough to jump the fence. They got used to me and would just stand and watch me. I was probably 30 feet away when I took a bunch of pictures and this is one of those.

Also have raccoon from last year (April thru October every night) that has returned this spring and takes food from my hand.

My Avatar is my 15 1/2 year old Yellow Lab. The picture was taken in 2002. It was the very first picture taken with our very first digital camera. Today we know how precious our remaining time with him is. He's got arthritis, and no longer sits, so he's either standing or lying down. Very wobbly in his hips and rear legs now. He's very close to being completely deaf, but can hear loud noises. We know that 15 1/2 years old, is really old for a large dog. We love him to pieces! He gets very unsettled whenever I'm away from home over night.

FYI - his name could have been Marley!!! Yep, he was just as bad as that when he was younger.

Aw, he looks very sweet. We have an almost 10 year old yellow lab.

Mine is our black lab Emma. She just turned 12 but is still is a puppy at heart. Unfortunately, a knee injury to her front leg when she was a pup is now slowing her down quite a bit. She is decked out in her Christmas collar.

She snores louder than I did before CPAP. She has been a terrible patient and has a zero compliance rate with her CPUP therapy...

[HoseCrusher]

My avatar allows you to exercise your imagination...

I couldn't find a picture that represented the frustration I was having with those blasted Swift FX little hoses.

[SleepingUgly]

This is me...lethal with a bow and arrow

[carbonman]

This is me.
Out on the bike,
lov'n life.

[Bookbear]

Mine is a polar bear, because... well.... I look like one. Bulky, lumbering, white fur, and dark, almost black eyes.

[Sireneh]

I suppose mine is obvious?

The thought, in its fullest form, is "peace, love, breathe." Turns out breathing is super important.

[Bandnuts]

I play with photo editing and thought I'd take my favorite M&M dude and put him in a CPAP setting... It's also a fun way to show the equip used.

[chunkyfrog]

No, I did not adopt a frog.
This little character was found on a page full of frogs,
and her eyes made me think of how my eyes feel after a night of air blowing in them
---"eye drops, please. . ."
We have two cats and a long-hair chihuahua all of which came from various places to find a home with us.

[Vader]

My Avatar IS a picture of me. When you’re *THE* Vader, it’s not like you can be someone else, like perhaps a cute little fuzzy animal or cartoon character.
So I’ve ALWAYS used a real picture of ME for my avatar.

But every now an then, I like to post a picture of my loyal and obedient, Vader Dog, pictured below:

Ain’t he cute, ya’lls?

[bailachel]

He IS very cute!

[Tranquilsleeper]

Mine is a picture of two of my miniature schnauzers, Bo and Abby, when they were very young puppies. My three dogs are one of the great joys of my life.

[Sheriff Buford]

I am a county detective in Texas. A while back, I taped Smokey and the Bandit, and my teenage son watched it and laughed so hard, I enjoyed watching him instead of the movie. He kept saying, "That's you!" everytime Sheriff Buford did something.... so wha-la! I will retire in a few years (over 30 years) and instead of chasing bad guys, I'll chase my wife.
