FURRY
FURRY
No need to guess very hard which furry is going to be here this week. Unfortunately I only have photos I had to scan and they are not brilliant. My favourite furry, sadly no longer with us but the best dog I ever had. May I present the charming Miss Cleo, otherwise known as my avatar.
The avatar photo is cropped from this one which is cropped from another larger photo taken with my daughter on her wedding day, twelve years ago.
I bought her when she was 5 months old, from someone who had come down with a serious illness and could not look after her. She was a gawky adolescent, not yet grown into her ears and not housetrained, would you believe?
When my granddaughter visited and was still in a high chair for meals, Cleo sat underneath waiting for the manna to fall from heaven. Of course she was often rewarded for her patience.
Cleo, sadly, no longer with us, for three or four years. Gone but never forgotten.

I can see why she was a favourite :-)
You should check out the adverts for Cesar dogfood- the dog looks just like Cleo.
I was thinking of her actually, as I browsed the adverts earlier (I was looking for one in particular, for a post I may not actually publish now).
My Mum always gets annoyed if you don't leave at least SOMETHING for the dogs...
Oh, great post of Cleo!!
Happy Weekend.
Miss Cleo was clearly a lovely and much loved member of your family. These are all great shots but my favorite is the one of her underneath your grandchild's high chair. Hope you have a happy weekend.
Gorgeous furry pics. :) Have a good weekend. :)

I agree with Carver. the one with Celo at the bottom of the chair is the cutest. It shows how intelligent Cleo is
Departed pets leave us with such good memories.
Cleo looks to have been quite the lovable character. Can definitely see why you continue to have fond memories of her.
Wow way too cute for a dog. Lovely. Hope it is a bit cooler where you are. Still sauna like here.
She was a beautiful dog. Even in the photos, you can sense she had a quirky but loving character.
Great tribute to your very favorite "furry" friend. Cleo will not be forgotten.
Cleo was gorgeous. my furry friend got sick the other day, and he's still under meds. hope you could drop by to see my furry friend.
She's beautiful!
Sorry to hear that Cleo is not around anymore, my furry entry is also not with us anymore, we sorely miss him ;-( see him here http://www.mirasblog.com/2009/01/photo-hunt-5-furry.html
I'm sure you miss her. What great shots for "furry!" Love that second one. Smart puppy - she knew right where to sit!
Miss Cleo was a beautiful dog. She must have been well loved by the family. I'm sure you have many wonderful memories of her. Thanks for sharing.
Of course, no thinking about it...Miss Cleo is the best choice for the theme...or should I say, this theme was made for miss Cleo lol. Such a bright eyed cutie!
Happy weekend!
I truly understand that miss Cleo was a loved member of your family.
Westies are very special dogs - smart and cute!!!
I love her intense little eyes - what a cutey she was JMB. Sweet photos!
She looks such a darling. Love the ear photo! You must miss her every day.
I have a positive menagerie. ^_^
Don't we make ourselves hostages to fortune by caring for them? But I think we would not be without them.
It's so hard go get scanned photos to look good.
What a cute dog :)
I played too :)
Sweet Cleo! I also did Photo Hunters. I hope you get a chance to visit!

Happy weekend!
I'm very happy to meet furry & charming Cleo. We make certain friends that stay with us forever, and Cleo seems to be one. I have a few of those kinds of friends myself :) Thanks for sharing her with us.
Absolutely super little dog, bright as a button.
Cleo was a beautiful furry friend, JMB.
Awww -- what else can one say?
awww...Cleo was a doll! I'm sure you miss her everyday too! I think they are beautiful photos of her! My hunt is up please come and visit soon
I'm touched especially when Cleo waited for manna from heaven.
We used to have a Highland White Scottish terrier that looked very much like your Cleo. Cleo sounded like such a wonderful furry friend. She was a great choice for this theme. Have a great weekend.
Cleo looks so cute and adorable and it's sad to know that she's not with you anymore. I can symphatize as i just recently lost my dog too.
She was such a beautiful dog. I love those eyes of hers! Do you ever think of getting another dog?
Miss Cleo is a gorgeous dog. Her memories are with you always. I think the photos are terrific even if they ARE scanned.
Thanks for stopping by.
Oh, she was so lovely.
Hi! Saw your avatar on BlogCatalog and clicked through. Your Cleo made me smile. My Daisy was a rescue Westie. We had eight wonderful years together. Westies are a great breed, small but feisty. Nice to meet you. :^D
Cute babies...2 & 4 legged.
What lovely family pics. Cleo looks adorable.
