A dressed up pet and a stuffed animal in the same picture. (the cat loved it.) I shall be lucky to get a 5! However, a good score wasn't the point of this entry. I belong to a group of horse photographers called the Vision 18 Collective. One of the gals, Susan Sexton, recently died from her leukemia. The group of us kept her entertained with pictures of this small stuffed animal, dubbed the Traveling Wee Horse, wherever we went. Susan also loved cats. So I combined the two when I could. 5 of us from the v18c also belong to DPC so we decided to all put in pix of Wee this month. (no we won't vote on each other's entries!) After the challenge, if you wish to see more Wee horse pics from all of the v18c photographers you can see them here: Traveling Wee Horses Wee got so popular he also now has a Facebook page too.

The Wee guy is making his rounds in this free study! Nice to see him having such a good time.

That looks like the same stuffed critter from another shot I just voted on. Cute kitty... seems to actually tolerate the bowtie around his/her neck pretty well.

I'm hoping that cat eats that little guy. He reminds me of the baby from Eraserhead. With fur. Creepy! 4.
