Max.

 

Guardian angel doggie since April 2013.

 

Not much for pens, more socks and carrots, but loved to lie down beside me and watch me write anyway.

That birdie...Sasha! Sasha! Good news! They found your long lost brother (or is it sister?)! :D

If you haven't met Sasha Royale, click here, it'll make more sense.

 

Panda is cute. If there are many more posts to this thread, we're going end up with another dog!

 

I think sister!

Ummm.. I must admit birdy doesn't look quite so pristine now...

some lovely cats and dogs :sm_cat: :happycloud9: :happy: thanks for sharing

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

No photos of my little furballs as yet. Polychrome does *not* like her picture taken, and Robin and Marian are currently pretending to be good (a scant 10 minutes after there was a sibling squabble brewing).

None of them are pen aficionados, AFAIK, but all of them have the annoying tendency to think that they are more important than any advanced technology in the room: so Robin and Marian both like to sit on my lap when I'm trying to type (and Robin in particular wants to put his chin or paws on the keyboard); both of them *ALSO* think that the keyboard is part of the main highway artery between the settee and the food and water bowls, or to the footrest on the neighboring recliner. Polychrome used to similarly help me type on my old desktop computer keyboard, but -- not being a lap cat -- she has decided to vent her displeasure at technology in other ways (noticeably by head-butting the on/off button on my husband's laptop in his office while he's the laptop, or doing the same thing to his office phone -- the latter generally while he was trying to talk to his boss).

But one of them is secretly *not* a Luddite, given the number of times I've gone downstairs in the morning to find the TV remote set to a pay-for-view station.... Fortunately, without opposable thumbs they have so far been unable to remove a credit card from my wallet.

meet Ilia, alias Bitey Sugarnose (first bit is self-explanatory, second part of the nickname is because nose often looks coated in icing sugar).

16 years old, but only lived here since November. Previous owner didn't take the best care of her (hence the bitey-ness). Disappointingly indifferent to pens :(

I'm not affiliated with ANY of the brands/retailers/shops/ebay sellers/whatever I mention or recommend. If that ever changes, I will let you know :)

 

Looking for a cheap Pilot VP/Capless - willing to put up with lots of cosmetic damage.

Here's Tod, a meth house rescue:

Favorite pen? A Sheaffer Touchdown, but only so he can squirt ink at people.

 

Here's Jar Jar (formerly Giada Fat Head):

 

http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t595/fivecatpenagerie/20F9018A-EE4B-44CB-B9EE-FD83DB2ECE8C-55083-00000869DFD10B10_zps7898279f.jpg

 

He needs to get a job.

Seriously.

Favorite pen? Anything celluloid and swirly, because, as he says, "I like the SWIRLIEZ!"

 

Here's Hammy:

 

http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t595/fivecatpenagerie/1F19630C-1B80-4FA9-A8D8-A4A21E9FD8EE-55083-0000086A311CB703_zps246c0c2a.jpg

 

He's very timid and sweet. Until he starts in with a fit.

He gets it from Tod.

Favorite pen? Waterman Safety, because he's TERRIFIED of leaks.

He's my profile photo, a Mini-Schnauzer named Seneca. He loves all my pens and pencils because when I'm using them I'm sitting down so he can snuggle up.

I'm always slow to draw her bath...

Then she GLARES at me...

This is what happens when you play with ink.

The Great Hunter (she believes in a "catch and release" program.)

If I've told her once, I've told her a thousand times. "DON'T TEASE THE COYOTES!"

Not her fault...

Is she/he a Sussex Spaniel, by chance?

Oh and I almost forgot my other cat. My Nakaya 'roll stopper' cat.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
