Taipei pets

To help cope with my Cinders withdraw (Brian's black lab) I have been visiting the local pet stores. There are about 7 pet stores in a row within a 10 minute walk of our place. I find myself walking over to visit the pets a few times a week. You can find a variety of pets, most of which are very small; not sure if they stay small.  

 

Here is a mama kitty with her baby kitties.

These little kitties have ears that are shaped live devil horns, can you see?

This little kitty wanted to play with me...

This little kitty did not.

And these little kitties were sooo cute!

Here is a close up. I am not sure what makes them so cute. maybe it is because they are so fluffy and all you can see is a big ball of fur and their tiny little face?

Would you love to have one of these kitties? I believe the breed is "Chinchilla." Please see the link to the following site to learn more about these cats: http://www.catsofaustralia.com/chinchilla-cat-description.htm

And on to the puppies.

A lot of the pet stores show where the puppies come from, the owners and the breeders which leads me to believe there are not a lot of "puppy mill" puppies. 

Do you like Turtles? This kid likes turtles... www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMNry4PE93Y

These turtles were so small, about 5 of them would fit in the palm of my hand.

Prefer something a little more cuddly? What do you think this is? 

This is a little porcupine, curled up for a nap.

One of the pet stores let the some of their dogs out of their cages to roam around the store. The amazing thing was they knew their limits, they would not go beyond the doorway.

See these dogs sitting and waiting so obediently? Some of the dogs allowed to roam were puppies, they also knew the boundaries. Pretty well behaved. 

And where do you take your dog when you go on vacation.... The Doggy House.
