Animals of OpenCraft

[Agrendalath (Piotr Surowiec)]

Yay, animal thread

I have two guinea pigs. This is Morka. She is 5 years old.

And this one is Sami - she is a year younger.

I have hundreds of these photos

I’m also often having flying visitors on the terrace. Usually, there are some relaxed seagulls.

Sometimes magpies - they usually bring some gifts, like sticks or rocks.

And, of course, pigeons.

I also saw a squirrel recently, but it was pretty far away, so the photo isn’t too clear.

@toxinu, we could probably move this thread to the Offtopic category.

Ah, animals are one of the rare things that I miss as a nomad – as you said @toxinu they really don’t like traveling, and in any case it’s quite tricky to achieve. I take consolation in meeting a lot of them on the way, but it’s not the same as companionship

Some years ago, I had two cats – they have passed away, but this was a nice occasion to go dig in my old pictures to introduce you to them. I think @mtyaka you might have met them, back at the time I lived with them in Paris.

First, I introduce you to Dji – who is frowning at something stupid I probably did ;p

Though she could be much nicer

And here is her mum, Luiza – adopted from a neighbor who was moving (and who loved to eat cat grass I was growing for her :p):

[raul (Raul Gallegos)]

Here are my two dogs:

This one is Arnold and he doesn’t like posing for pictures too much

but loves playing in the grass:

And here is Brandon, who loves pictures

and sleeping in the main bed:

I adopted a 10-year old cat from the local shelter a few weeks ago. He’s overweight, so I called him Diet Pepsi.

And for 10 years I had a great dog named Ragout (which is the French word for stew ).

[adolfo (Adolfo R. Brandes)]

@gabriel

Diet Pepsi.

I lolled.

My household has grown again, from 0 kittens, to 1, and now 2!

Luna is the short hair, and Stella is the fluffier one. Stella is more agile (mentally and physically) than Luna, so we think she’s a bit older. Though she may just be wiser… She’s definitely teaching Luna a thing or two about stalking, ambushing, and muscling in on the food dish.

@Agrendalath You guinea pigs are so cute! Sami has an incredible haircut.

@Agrendalath

You have a very cool view from your balcony! I am kind of jealous.

@Agrendalath

And, of course, pigeons.

This pigeon is literally thinking about the meaning of his life.

I really love the fact that you are taking time to take pictures of random living buddies landing on your balcony, that’s so sweet.

@Agrendalath

@toxinu, we could probably move this thread to the Offtopic category .

Done.

@antoviaque

True. I was a bit too optimistic about traveling with my dog and turned that it is way more stressful than I was expecting. Based on that I will still be traveling but more by train than airplane which is also cool.

@antoviaque

So cute! Looks kind of angry at the same time.

@raul

This one is Arnold and he doesn’t like posing for pictures too much

Arnold is just so cute.
Are your dogs nice together? Like best buddies?

@gabriel

I love how animals can feel home really quickly when they trust you. Diet Pepsi is chilling on your sofa like he was living there for years. Cute boy.

Ragout looks so proud in this photo.

Damn… I am melting. Your two little furries are so cute. It took me literally 10 seconds to realize that they were both on your knees on the second picture!

[sarina (Sarina Canelake)]

Hi! I was told that I am allowed to post in this thread!

I have three perfect beautiful cat sons and it’s so hard to pick one picture of each… but apparently I can only upload one picture in a post so I’ll pick one of the few pictures I managed to take of all three (the little one is fast and squirmy and doesn’t stay still around his brothers):

This is what I call the “wake up crew”, as they come every morning to beg for food. Left to right: Percy (orange, age 11); Simon (white-tipped tail, age 1); Rupert (age 10).

[antoviaque (Xavier Antoviaque)]

@sarina Glad to see you here! :)

For being only able to upload one picture, I’ve raised your account’s trust level, hopefully you should be able to post more now :p

[giovannicimolin (Giovanni Cimolin da Silva)]

@sarina They are so cute!

I get what you are saying with the “wake-up” crew: mine like to start running around the apartment and meowing at 5am.

Speaking of them, I just noticed that they’re missing from this forum post.

I have two cats: Lilo and Stitch.
They don’t like each other that much, so this is the only picture with them together. Stitch is the fat yellow one.

Lilo mostly sleeps the entire day while Stitch does a variety of exercises, including yoga, eating our plants, eating 3d printed stuff, sitting on top of the fridge, among other things.

[pedro (Pedro Viana)]

I have a dog, he was born with a malformed spine, so he is actually paraplegic. But nothing stops him from interacting, exploring or even (that was remarkable) swimming.

[jill (Jillian Vogel)]

He’s so beautiful!

[toxinu (Geoffrey L.)]

@pedro Your dog is adorable and you too for taking care of him.
@giovannicimolin Stitch doesn’t like to take care of your Hashicorp Consul machine.

[pedro (Pedro Viana)]

Thanks Ah, his name is Phelps, by the way (his chest and front paws got really strong :)

[giovannicimolin (Giovanni Cimolin da Silva)]

@toxinu

Stitch doesn’t like to take care of your Hashicorp Consul machine.

- he’s not a devops cat…

Both my refrigerator and our Consul servers are super reliable tho, 10/10 would use/buy a product with Consul in the name again.

[toxinu (Geoffrey L.)]

Some important updates regarding my dog:

Still practicing his Yoga, down dog.

Bonus, the rider: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1ta8QWLAJPyibWKp6

[farhaan (Farhaan Bukhsh)]

@pedro He looks adorable

@giovannicimolin Lelo and Stitch, I use to love the cartoon and they do look like them

@toxinu Look at the judgy looks he is passing at you, he is almost telling you, “Do Yoga, Hooman”

[paulo]

@pedro

He’s gorgeous, and very lucky to have a friend to take him on these adventures!

[sarina (Sarina Canelake)]

I love all your pets! Now that my team exclusively uses the Open edX slack for communication, and I’m dying for distractions, I welcome you to join the new #pets channel and spam as constantly as you’d like.

Here’s Percy driving a train, as a gift.

[jill (Jillian Vogel)]

That’s an excellent cat house @sarina ! So cute.

My kittens are growing up and getting huge and brave…

Here’s Luna, working out how to get down from the door he climbed up on, and more of him peering out from behind the curtains and lounging on the windowsill.

Here’s Stella, hacking my password, and sleeping upsidedown.

And both of them, fight/sleeping.
