The Betty White Challenge

The #Betty White Challenge is a trending hashtag throughout social media. The challenge is simple: donate to any local or national animal shelter, rescue or agency in White's name on Jan. 17th on what would have been her 100th birthday....


If you can give $5, please do. If you can afford more, please be generous.  I've already given, and I hope you will too.

The Mistress's favourite Betty White quote.

Betty's goal was simple: she wanted every animal healthy, happy and loved.

Fur-niture

Following the previous post in which we discussed our animal friends sharing our beds...

[via]
... we now turn our attention to a line of feline furniture from Japan. The pieces consist of scaled-down, miniature versions of human-sized furniture...


More to see here....

And closer to home...

Your cat or dog can now have his/her own bed thanks to a new line of pet furniture from IKEA...


Although try telling that to Norma's baby...



Or LX's Lola and Nikko...

Mr. Blobby

Infomaniac welcomes Mr. Blobby...



No, not this Mr. Blobby.

Our Mr. Blobby is a blobfish...an inedible, bottom-dwelling fish living off the coast of Australia.

Mr. Blobby faces extinction due to getting trapped in the nets of overfishing trawler fishermen.

We here at Infomaniac hope that something can be done to protect Mr. Blobby. So far, this gift card is all we've found although we're sure there must be a blobfish conservation society out there somewhere.

We don't know whether Mr. Blobby will use the gift card in a campaign "for 40 percent of the world’s oceans to be designated as marine reserves. Acting like underwater national parks, these no fishing areas will enable oceans to recover and protect all species of sea creatures, including the blob fish" or whether he'll blow it all on a facelift.

We simply hope that we can turn that frown upside down.

Your Pussies and Bitches

Thanks to all the Infomaniac Bitches who sent us photos of your animal friends!

We begin with this photo from new Infomaniac bitch TB...

TB says, “Unfortunately my little pussy Merkinette is too twitchy to get a photo. However here is one of the dear Vicar with his faithful companion, Mr. Poppit, enjoying a rare vacation.
P.S. The Vicar usually wears a fishnet thong but it fell off while playing.”

Welcome to Infomaniac, TB!

And now on to the rest of you!

Normadesmond’s Corgis RIVIE and DINA

Rivie


Dina

Both are "intact" females as they get shown. Dina is a very affectionate girl, the most affectionate we've ever had. She's also an uber-alpha. Rivie's an alpha also. Dina now wears a muzzle whenever the two are together since she'd prefer Rivie dead. Makes for an interesting household.


Chickory’s chicken EASTER


This is Easter. She's my oldest and smallest hen (almost 3 years old!) and the most personable. She thinks she deserves the same rights as the dogs enjoy; wanting to come in the house instead of load into the coop at night with the other chickens. She isnt a very good layer so she is definitely a pet. On any serious farm, she would have been a chicken salad sandwich by now.


Boxer’s dogs COCO, LUCY and MICKEY

How does one describe this dog? She's part clown, part Einstein and 100% my Sunshine. That's Coco.

Here's Miss Lucy. The Grand Dame of my pack. 14 years old and still the Alpha. Lucy weighs just under five pounds.

Mickey is our super damaged one. Think Hannibel Lecter bad. I got him as a foster and realized he would be further damaged or injured if I gave him to anyone. I can't even walk him public. I have to look both ways on our busy street in front of my office to make sure no one is nearby before I take him out. Ahahahahahahaha. I'm like an abused woman. Why do I put up with Mickey? "Because I love him."


XL’s cats RJ, LOLA and CARMEN MIRANDA

Lola (left) and RJ.

In memory of all of my pets


Hayward's dogs MYRTLE and FRED


My children: That's my sweet Myrtle on the left and the whine master Fred on the right. Myrtle loves balls and poor Fred wishes he still had his.



Mitzi’s dog GRUMPY

Grumpy having his weekly bath in the laundry room.

Name: Oliver renamed Grumpy
Position: Mother's fanny licker
Breed: Chihuahua
Colour: White
Age in dog years: 140
Favourite Food: Fish
Sex: Male
Likes: Walking, sniffing other dogs up the arse, being carried around in a handbag, eating, shitting and sleeping.
Dislikes: Fireworks, Cats.

Olly was the dog we had grown to love, with his wagging tail and cheerful wheezing. He was bought off a gypsy woman who came to our door selling clothes pegs, lucky charms and chihuahua puppies. Sadly Oliver died last year aged 20! and without a single tooth in his head.



Manda’s cat SIMBA


My cat since I was 4 years old(or so), she passed away a few years ago but she was my childhood best friend. We found her on a rainy night, skinny as a rail and about 3 weeks old on the porch of my old house, she was crying her little eyes out and my mother (who wore acrylic nails at the time) simply tapped the tile floor inside the door with her nails and Simba came inside. We fed her milk that night and that was the start of many years of love. She was the best cat I've ever had, extremely affectionate and clingy where most cats are aloof and distant, only wanting affection when they 'want' it. She also liked to knead and suckle on my Teddybears, which I learned later in life meant that she wasn't properly weaned. I used to dress her up with doll clothes from my baby dolls, she had reindeer horns, a baseball cap. When you'd pick her up she'd put her arms out so she could hug you around your neck, a paw on each shoulder, she'd nip my nose when she felt like being onery, all in all she was the most loving animal anyone could ask for and I miss her dearly.


Ask the Cool Cookie's dog ROCKY


As requested - I am sending you a picture of our little man, Rocky. We got him for free from our contractor and he came with that name. I wanted to call him Harry - because he is, and he has this fabulous tail!. Some silly woman bought him thinking that he would be a fashion accessory and after six months she realized that he wasn't toy, but a dog. So the contractor got him, then we fell in love with him and he became ours.

The husband dotes on him. Smart as whip and he is quite the chick magnet, but this does us no good. Now if he were a hunk magnet we'd be in business. Oh well - you can't have everything. Besides, he really has a very sweet disposition.


kabuki zero’s parrot BOOBOO


Booboo is a hot mess. reminds me of someone, not naming any names. BOOBOO is 100% girly woman lady female, wit the tits to prove it.


Princess’s pups PRINCESS ABBY and SIR FRED


Here is a photo of “Princess Abby”. The time share Shitzu/Maltese X. and my dear departed “Sir Fred” a Kelpie X together
Here is a link to the piece I wrote about “Sir Fred” at the time of his death. I do miss him he was a wonderful companion.

Abby is getting old too now. She spends half her time with the Empress and the other half with me. (Sleepovers at either place occur on a whim) She is 13. And as she has to climb about six stairs to get up to the Empresses Palace, spends most of her time these days at my place. At times she still carries on like a puppy bouncing about and running around in circles on the spot (especially when there is food involved) then when the excitement dies down, she collapses in a heap and sleeps for the next few hours. Usually she finds the place where you most want to walk so that you have to step over her! It’s like ....”I’m old, I’m tired, and I’m not moving... but I just want to make sure that you know I’m here... Pets! You gotta love ‘em.


CyberPete’s tweetybird GEORGE


I can't have pets. They'd end up dying from neglect. This is why my bestest friend evah gave me this many moons ago. Bless him! Meet George.


Stephen’s dogs LARRY and JUNIOR



Here they are. 2 Rescued Terriers: Fat Larry abused at his original home, & then he nipped at the new Baby & was sent away. Junior was found tied to a tree, out in the Oregon countryside. They have adjusted to life at Post Apocalyptic Bohemia. The rest on pillows & they sleep with their daddies.


Miss Scarlet’s dog BUZZ

Buzz 30/10/96 - 04/11/08

I still tend to turn into an emotional mess when I visit this post... reaches for tissues.... and this is still my screen saver on my phone.


Stacia’s cat LEGMA


This pussy is the late lamented Legma, passed on nearly 15 years ago and named after an elf or a hobbit or something equally embarrassing -- our RPG days were dark days indeed. Legma is playing with something that I only vaguely remember but which, as you can see, is conveniently marked at 12-inch intervals. Legma very rightly attacked it with gusto.


Beast’s dogs ALFIE and LLOYD

aka The Hounds of Hell.

Beast is frequently left in charge of Mr. C’s dogs, Alfie and Lloyd.

Alfie: a Pharoah hound

Lloyd: A pit bull cross


Designing Wally’s dog MICKEY


This is Mickey, Constant Companion, Party Host Extraordinaire -
When not entertaining, he enjoys playing in the garden, pink piggies and lounging...
Just like the daddy.



Miss Janey’s dogs JUNIOR, JENKINS and RALPH


Junior (the brindle) found on the street in June 2001, and Jenkins, purchased from the Pasadena Humane Society 3 years ago after the passing of Miss Janey's first dog Ralph…

Ralph (12/4/1994 - 2/13/2008)


John’s dog NIKKII


This is my pet Nikkii, I just had to put her down this January. I miss her so, she was a great companion.

Note: John is a new Infomaniac bitch. Welcome to Infomaniac, John!


Roses’ cat SOLITAIRE


I remembered I had this picture of Solitaire. Yes, she does normally look at me as if I'm mad. I wouldn't say she's wrong either. She is a darling, except when she pees on my door curtain. She's 13 now, not that you'd ever tell either by looking at her or by her behaviour. She was supposed to be Boy's but, she's always ended up sleeping with me. We've given up all pretence of that now.


Kapitano’s Papillons SADIE, PERRY and ROSIE

We've got five dogs, three parrots and an unknown number of mice under the floorboards. None of which like being photographed. So here's a selection of the dogs - the one's I managed to get pictures of. I don't think I can imagine living without dogs.


Rosie is a 1 year old lady dog, with endless energy, the ability to jump over obstacles three times her height, and an extremely penetrating happy little yap.

She is also blind - one eye missing, the other cataracted - though it doesn't slow her down one bit. Which means on the one hand she's a small, cute, happy, utterly adorable bundle of affection. And on the other, she looks like a gremlin.


Perry is the father - and like all dog and most human fathers, is vaguely aware that a smaller dog appeared some months after the last time the woman was in season, but doesn't see how it concerns him.


Sadie is the woman. Bitches are supposed to come into season once every six months - she managed it every three, which led to a lot of stressed and randy boy dogs, including the ones who preferred male dogs and human legs to relieve their hormones.

After Rosie was born, Sadie had a little operation at the vet, and she seems much happier now, getting a big silky coat and a habit of lying on her back looking at you till you tickle her chest. Make comparisons to human women as you wish.


Inexplicable DeVice’s Weimaraner MOOM


This is Moomin. She's the laziest, biscuitiest, wormiest quince! In fact, she is a lazy, biscuity wormquince. And a rubbish familiar.
Moom still hasn't worked out how to get indoors whilst carrying a stick.


Mr. Peenee’s cat SAKI


Saki's full name is the Evil and Adorable Sakihito. He is both evil and adorable and I have the scars to prove it. He's a Cancer and likes long candlelit walks on the beach, naps by the fire and biting me. I have never admitted that I am responsible for cutting his nuts off.


NOTE: Mistress MJ is greatly moved by these beautiful photos of your animal friends. They’re all so very lovable.

This post is dedicated with love to the memory of Mistress MJ’s pussy...

And remember…

Pussies and Bitches


February 20th is “Love Your Pet Day”.

To celebrate, Infomaniac asks you to submit photographs of your cats, dogs, hamsters or other animal companions.

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve done this so it’s high time we did it again!

You have until Saturday, February 26th to email your submissions (email address is in my Blogger Profile.)

Please also include a little blurb about your animal friend.

We’ll publish all their photos in a post soon after that.

And remember…

EVERY day is Love Your Pet Day.


NOTE: If your household is without an animal but you have a favourite animal friend (perhaps you sit for a friend's dogs like Beast does, for example), you may participate in this as well. You are also welcome to submit a photo of a childhood animal or an animal you’ve had in the past, if you prefer.

Your Pussies and Bitches

This post is dedicated in loving memory of OPIE: beloved tater dog of Ms. Nations



Now digging spuds in that Great Garden in the Sky.



BEAST

Here we have Alfie and Lloyd, two hounds belonging to the mad Mr C yet occasionally under the care of Beast…


Alfie: a Pharoah hound

Alfie looks like he’s just caught site of a buck naked Beast. Fright night!



Lloyd: A pit bull cross

Beast, what is that blue plastic thingy by Lloyd’s head? An inflatable device to resuscitate him after he’s smelled your stinky duvet?



The Hounds of Hell


Look carefully as this is the only time you’ll find bitches in Beast’s tiny bedsit.

In fact, both hounds look as though they’re sharing his bed, don’t they?

Lloyd looks as if he’s about to barf on that dreadful fireside carpet, which could only be an improvement to the design.

Honestly, Beast. Call in a decorator.



Inexplicable DeVice (IVD)

Aside from a gigantic spider that IVD found in his bath, Beaky the blackbird is as close to a pet as he gets…


Beaky feasting on sultanas

I should explain to newcomers that our IVD is a witch and Beaky is actually his familiar.

IVD describes Beaky as a “selfish, snobbish, imperialist, stuck up blackbird” who “doesn’t like fingers, children, clean cars, greasy hair and that high-pitched squeal that babies make”.



RANDOM CHICK




“His name is Rhett, as in Rhett Butler. He is crafty and can catch lizards like nobody's business. I have found several lizard carcasses lying about the house due to his hunting skills. He also has an annoying habit of running across my head in the while I'm sleeping because he is freaking out about something that goes bump in the night. The hubby thinks it's funny because he only runs across my head. I do not.”

Should we ask Random Chick to explain the pose? Is he imitating mommy?



INNER VOICES


Beau (left) and Charlie (right)


“My dogs have been without female contact of there own species for so long they have reverted to a prison style love affair... both taking turns being top and bottoms... they clean each other and sleep in one dog bed even though we have two.

Beau a.k.a., beautard, shitlips, meathead, etc... is a bit accident prone as some of you may have read in the past most recently we found out that the neighbors animals were being attacked by a massive bob cat and not a mountain lion... explains why we still have beau around and why we are not looking for him hanging in the trees.

Charlie a.k.a. chucky, chuckstick, fucking dog, etc... likes to steal anything and everything off the kitchen counter, dining room table, coffee table, etc... anything he can get his fucking paws up on.. he likes eating sandals, socks and cheeses leggings occasionally, including crotch but not exclusively.

Charlie once ate a rotting deer leg when we were staying at a friends house and unloaded five gallons of doggie ass water into cheeses subaru dashboard, seats, center console, door pockets... the joys of dog ownership eh?”


CYBERPETE

CyberPoof tells us, “I'll send you a photo of my parent’s dog. I'm not allowed to have pets.”

One wonders what THAT means but anyway, here’s Herman the German…




Herman the German's puppies



CECILE

Cecile hails from Arkansas and as befits the backwoods Ozark hillybilly image, here we see her brother and sister’s dogs mating…


Sadie and Gabe, the two little dogs that could and did


And now we’re treated to Cecile’s own three mutts…


Java Dog, the new waterless dishwasher system that is not only environmentally friendly but fuel efficient too.



Java (left) and Apollo (right) "Take a picture of my good side."


XL

Note to XL: Lola and RJ want to live with Mistress MJ.


Lola (too Siamese for her own good) and RJ (favorite cologne: Old Mice)

Lola and RJ are occasional guest bloggers on XL’s blog and I look forward to the day they take control of the keyboard and demand their own blog. And demand to move to Canada.



DAISY



Let’s hear what Daisy has to say about the bitch in her bed…

“I got up and got coffee early (3am) one morning...came back and Cosmo had gotten herself covered like this in my bed...she is terribly demanding as you can tell and takes the middle of the bed forcing me to sleep on the edge, little bitch that she is.”

But wait! There’s more!

Two more dogs in Daisy’s household…


Peaches the beagle


Daisy the Maltese

Miss Daisy, will you be taking your dogs to visit Alfie and Lloyd in England?



PRUNELLA JONES


Sassy Shirley the Easter Beagle



Jackie Waffles the world's naughtiest kitten (that's Pru’s bra he's chewing on)



Jorge the spider. Jorge is Pru’s favorite because he never poops.



LEAH

Next up: The elder statesman of our group…

Pippin

“Here's a picture of my dog, Pippin. Some might call him homely; I find him intoxicatingly handsome. He's portly, geriatric, and will definitely bite those who come too near.”


AND FINALLY…


BOLLIX (JIMMY BASTARD)


“Finley” the Cocker Spaniel

I cannot reveal my sources but I’m told that Jimmy Bastard cuddles Finley when they’re watching telly and that the pair resembles Beauty and the Beast.


“Jimmy” the Jack Russell

My spies also inform me that “Jimmy sleeps on the floor next to Jimmy Bastard’s side of the bed. He goes to work with Jimmy Bastard, he gets walked, fed, spoiled, bathed, brushed, not to mention sleeps on the dashboard of his van when they are on site.”

Does anyone else find it odd that Mr. Bollix’ Jack Russell shares not only HIS first name, but the name of his pleasure piston as well?

Mr. Bollix has taken me aside to whisper that he wishes he could lick his own balls like a wee doggie.



And with that we conclude our pictorial presentation of your precious pussies and bitches.

Infomaniac asks all of you to always treat your animal friends with kindness and affection and to give generously, if you can, to the animal charity of your choice.

Now bark like a dog, bitches!
