Hey Donna, I am sorry to hear that you are cat-less at the moment (hopefully, you'll allow additional cats to fill your life with love? TBD)

... man, I love cats as well, but dogs are my true spirit-animal ...

The first photo (below) is of my "late best-friends" => Buster (English Spaniel) and Larry (my baby-girl, wolf road-rescue)

... the 2nd & 3rd photos are of "Hector" => my 2 year-old English Spaniel (he has become my new best-friend)

DOGS ROCK!! (they are good for your soul)

Cheers to all of you pet-owners ... awkward ... I seem to like/get-along with animals better than I get-along with humans (just ask my  sweet wife)

; )

whatev ... have a great day, coiners (great animal-thread, Ryro ... keep that shit up!!)

Saddest story "ever" ... man, I love dogs

Hi, coiners ... Steve here

Ummm, I'm not sure if I've ever shown this cool lil' item, or not? 

Before Newfoundland joined Canada, they minted their own coins ... here are some pennies from those days (the World War II days)

Sorry about the photo-quality ... photography is definitely not one of my strong-suits!

Cheers

Cheers, my ol' coin friends

Nice => there are some great unlikeable-comments in this thread, gang ... well done!!

Ummm, I like "most" ancient coins ... but I will always choose an animal-reverse, or an animal hiding "somewhere" on a coin, over a coin without an animal
