New Member(s) - We love ALL living creatures!!!

[DucksAreBest]

She really is the CUTEST! She is an African Pygmy and just over a year old and quite the feisty little chonker (300g)

We had another hedgehog who suffered from a neurological disorder (Ataxia) who we cared for until she passed. She was also such a little sweetheart.

RIP Puffa-Puffa-Stick-Stick

...and a few more random pics I have readily available:

(I caught this guy "in the act" and dug him out with my hands. He was relocated to a different area where he can go about his business without destroying our yard)

You're hedgehog is beautiful, and you dogs are so cute!
I'm so sorry for your loss of a hedgehog.
You have so many cool pictures!

Thank you for the hug and kind words @DucksAreBest

We gave her the best life she could have during the short time we had her. Just like humans, some animals have special needs and we are happy to care for and comfort them as much as we can.

I noticed your profile says your in South Washington (State?). We are located in Olympia!

Yaaaayyyy ! I I love all critters bugs and all !

Thank you, Mark! Since you mentioned "bugs and all"

Our thread title says ALL living creatures and we definitely practice what we preach. Sandy teaches her preschoolers to appreciate and love all creatures, no matter the size or situation. They all have a purpose and a life to live.

Here are some more (unique) Critter Pictures you may enjoy (bugs and all):
*NO CRITTERS WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THESE PHOTOS*

This little guy sought refuge under my rainfly for the night while I was camping

Orchard Cicada

10-Line June Beetle

BIG Hobo Spiders from our old house.

Ceanothus Silkmoth

Juvenile Tiger (or possibly a Northwest) Salamander

KLAUSSY MONSTER!!!

Puffa-Puffa "Lick-Lick"

*Backstory about these photos* - I accidentally disturbed a rabbit's nest hidden under a huckleberry bush while I was doing yardwork. I saw 6 baby bunnies scatter from the nest and quickly wrangled them up and placed them safely back in their nest. I placed a camera outside the nest for the next 3 nights to monitor the babes and make sure Momma came back and didn't abandon them. She came back the next day and following days to feed and care for her young'uns and all ended well.

Here's a few links to the videos, if you want to see the cuteness (I hope these links work):

• Bunnies 1
• Bunnies 2
• Bunnies 3
• Bunnies 4

welcome to the forum, your pictures are gorgeous!

Thank you so much @maceleneo! I am by no means a professional photographer - but I do love to capture candid photos of these awesome creatures to enjoy and remember them!

Thank you @Meri Maura - the models get ALL the credit...they are very photogenic and great to work with!

I tried the look once (and loved it), and Agatha is my favorite.

Glad I made your day @swampfox440!

We're happy to be here amongst so many fellow animal/critter lovers!

You're welcome. Oh, you also live in Washington! I live in Camas, WA.
You have so many awesome photos of living creatures!! I love them! Beautiful!

Thank you @DucksAreBest - happy to share them and from a fellow Washingtonian family! We've been in the PNW our whole lives and probably won't ever leave. We love it here!

I tried the look once (and loved it), and Agatha is my favorite.

Awww, amazing pictures and BEAUTIFUL chickens!!! I think that photo and Charlottes is stunning, and I also love the "sassy" look Claire is giving; looks like you got that picture before she had her morning coffee!

"You talkin' to me?!"

Welcome to BYC. Love, love, love your photos. Thank you for letting us see them.

Thank you, thank you! I wasn't expecting such a response - but I'll take it!

Sandy is amazed how many reactions they are getting - I normally don't share my pictures outside our family (no social media or anything like that) so it's fun to be able to show them off to other like-minded folks!
