Pictures from my phone.

This summer, I ended up getting a new phone. So I had to email all of my pictures to myself. Now I thought i would share all the best ones with you.

Getting a kitten sortof coicided with getting my first ever camera phone, so I took a lot of kitten photos. Here are a few favorites.


He was so tiny. We were still bottle feeding him when we brought him home. Man its a lot of work to bottle feed a kitten every three hours.





Just a few...

And then we got our adorable puppy. We hadn't settled on a name for the kitten yet when we drove an hour inland to pick up Jessica's new puppy.


So as we drove away, "Hey there delila" came on the radio.


Rem was leaving for (it think it was) boot camp just two days after we got Laila, so the song held a certain significance for Jess. We decided on Sampson and Delila for the pet's names.



They were best buddies, although Sam always had a mean streak. They used to cuddle like that. Then they would fight and fall asleep.


This is one of my favorite pictures because these two were fighting for the "sunny spot" in the room. And just fell asleep while fighting. But they look so peaceful and buddy-buddy in the photo.

Things are different now. They basicly hate each other and it has been at least a year since they have voluntarily cuddled. Mostly after Sam's accident, everything changed.


Poor Sam got run over by a car in the early hours of the morning. It awoke in him a sort of defense mechanism, "even though I am hurt, I am still top dog." Where Laila would have some gnarly battle scars and Sam just kept on lunging for her. It's cooled down a little, but Laila always has at least one scratch on her belly.

Anyhow...

It was only last summer that we drove south to pick up Helo.




That was his first night, when Russell was still being strict with the "no dogs on the bed" rule. Pfft... That lasted about a week.




He was our little bear cub, so we call him helobear

or helocopter

or helomonster...



He loved the car!



He would whimper like a baby til we hit 45mph.



But he's not a baby anymore. But as I look at those pictures side by side, he still has that same "look".


So that is what I take pictures of on my phone. Does it surprise you? Oh, there were no people pictures? Yes, I think someone was in one of those photos... No? Oh, ummmm here's one...


What, there's a cat blocking his face?

Hrmmm... I didn't want to post this one but you leave me no choice...



There. The only picture on my phone with no pet in it. It was just too good not to keep :)
