Having just completed the A-Z Challenge with 26 posts about dogs I must try to resist showing more. My morning walk continues to be productive for thematic shots.
Tortoiseshell Cat waiting to be petted
It never has to wait long.
Friendly Cat and Dog
The dog, Skye, appeared on the A-Z but as she and the cat get on so well together she deserved to be in the shot.
Even larger pets get pampered in our neighbourhood.
Inca in her coat
We are still getting frost at night so that's why she is all wrapped up in the morning sunshine.
Going back in time our children only had one pet who has appeared on Thematic Photography before. She was the escape artist extraordinaire.
Deirdrie, the hamster
She could hang onto anything - the curtains or
Especially a treat.
We may have had only the one pet but that did not stop us from looking after others.
Hoppity in Andrew's arms
His escapes were more spectacular than Deirdrie's as he could run much faster.
Guinea Pig
Who owned this I do not remember, nor can I recall its name.
It is also so easy for pets to change into pests. After all, it is just a question of an extra 's'.
A pesky squirrel
It's the wild ones that cause all the trouble.
At least it's eating the grass
And the problem with rabbits, tame or otherwise, is that they multiply.

I''m not sure what this lot get up to now as they are over 30 years old.
Still if they look out of the window from their perch on top of a wardrobe they can watch another 'pet' feeding itself.
Shooting pets, or pests, can be a lot of fun provided you use a camera. To see what others have done follow the links at Carmi's Thematic-photographic-293.
This week's theme set by Carmi is Parallel which if you are not careful could be confused with last week's Vertical.
I've elected to concentrate on animals this time - well on dogs and a hamster named Deirdre, an escapologist of some renown.
Lily, a Border Collie, takes the parallel bars at speed.
I wonder whether she could take the parallels of the background fence as well.
Deirdre was a childrens' pet some thirty years ago. It didn't matter to her whether parallel bars were vertical or horizontal, they were there to be gnawed or climbed on the way out of her cage.
Deirdre inside her cage for once.
Labradors like to be inside the house but are equally at home sunning themselves on the deck but not on the parallel planks, their beds are more comfortable.
Sam and Maxie take it easy.
An engineering structure has parallels too as shown by the main support frame for the Statfjord B platform under construction at Rosenberg Verft. Stavanger in the 1980s.
