These are great everyone, but try to keep to a Christmas theme on this post. We love seeing pet photos and have a special place for pets on our Gallery: http://www.operationphotorescue.org/forum/index.php?action=gallery It will be the very last gallery on that page.

My cat Tommy's 1st Christmas at about 4-5 months old--now 6 yrs. He already had his present picked out and claimed.

Hi volunteers

It's great seeing all the wonderful Christmas photos. I'm taking a short hiatus from restoring while I attempt to recover from losing my job, 5 of my cats, my best friend and part of my house (long story). I'm on the upswing (whoo hoo), and shall try to find a kid photo of me (even though I'm in the witless protection program!) to scan and share. Meanwhile, I thought I'd post my favorite photo of the smartest cat in the world (Scooter) after he dove into a box of Christmas "confetti" and decided to model it for us.

I hope to be back very soon.

Best wishes, love and hugs to all of you.

Happy Holidays!

Glenna - a big welcome back from me! I've noticed you haven't been around for a while and i was getting concerned. It's great to see you here again.

You've been missed for sure Glenna. It's good to hear you are on the upswing -my prayers are with you. Scooter is a real charmer. Love those eyes!

GK, great to have you back as you have been missed! Hope things start to improve for you. I love the photo of Scooter and I get the feeling he was plotting his next move. Hope the holidays brings some much needed joy.

:hug:

I am still here and found this one on my hard drive. I am seven and a half years old and it's Christmas Day. We had just moved from New York to Los Angeles and I was terrified that Santa wouldn't find me. He did :) I still have those two dolls!

Charlene5,

Great to have you back! You have been missed!

Margie

P.S. Are you playing with the dolls or dismembering them?

Charlene5 · December 19, 2010, 12:52:50 AM

Ah Margie knowing me I'm planning their demise :) Found one other Christmas-y thing on the hard drive. I think it was my first Photoshop project about four years ago. Margot (also known as Margoat for her indiscriminate appetite) is my daughter's cat and I shamelessly stole the idea from somewhere.

I'm a little slow on the uptake, but I wanted to share this wonderful photo with you. This was for a Christmas play at my school in Hawaii - second grade. (The angel costume is one heck of a stretch!) I'm kneeling, second from the left.

What is awesome to me is that the little angels were from the Philippines, Korea, Japan, Hawaii - and the mainland. Given the nature of our global organization, I felt that this photo captures some of that flavor. None of us realized that we were different. We were classmates and friends... period.

Happy Holidays!

BTW, thanks for the well wishes. I'm on the upswing, and I'm hoping to be back restoring at the first of the year.

Also - in keeping with the spirit of the above photo, I spent the last few weeks helping design art for "the first international internet girls singing group," and a lot of my art has ended up on Facebook. Any of you on FB might want to check out Wild Blossoms. Not for my art, but for the Christmas song they'll be posting within the next day. I hadn't heard them sing together until today, and the song is so wonderful that it made me cry. They have lovely voices, the arrangement is unique, and they have a young composer from the Netherlands working on their music. I think he's going to become a "name."

I was helping them because they didn't know anyone who'd do the art for free - and I needed a diversion and was intrigued by what they were doing. Do yourself a favor and check them out. They're wonderful - and they all adore animals! You know where that fits in my book.

Christmas Fun
