Allow me to post a couple of pictures of my Pepa.
She's actually the only audience I normally have when screening.
She was sick, during the last weeks, and just recently totally recovered. A little tumour in her mouth. Not a malignant one, thanks God.

Chiara has already put our Christmas tree up. And Pepa is always so happy, with all those 'dancing' trinkets.
All of us are.
Christmas coming, Pepa definitely better BUT...
YOU CANNOT SEE IT, in the first picture. But exactly over the tree top THERE'S THE SCREEN I NORMALLY USE FOR MY SUPER 8 NIGHTS!.
THIS MEANS I WILL HAVE THE USE THE WALL, for December shows. And the result won't be the same [Frown] .

Oh well, let's say this was only a good excuse to post some pictures of Pepa. She was really bad. And it's nice to see her feeling better! Remember once more she is my favourite audience (actually, she is the only one I can rely on. She never complains about the titles I choose). [Big Grin]

Aaaah! THERE'S Pepa!

Glad to see that Pepa has her "pep" back!

You know how worried me and Chiara were. But Pepa is really better now [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin] .

Gian,
Beautiful cat; glad to hear she pulled through well. I am assuming the big brown package is a new projector? [Big Grin]

Gian... that brown package must be that GS1200 that was new in the box, never used unit that your wife found for you? [Wink]

Pepa looks like a beautiful little princess...How special they are to us...My wife and I have 2 cats (boy and a girl) and the older lady of the house is a 15 year old cocker spaniel. When they get sick our world seems to shut down, so I am glad to hear your girl is doing well. [Smile]

Great news Gian.

I think you'll find that statement also applies to dogs - but for a slightly different reason. My pooch, of course, would never "stoop that low" - she's a "Lady" called Sandy (The "second Lady" in my life).

And Gian, believe it or not, she is frightened of cats....

Hi pals!
Hope you are all ok the same way I am.
And, after so long rainy days, it's sunny here, today!

Thanks a lot for all kind posts.

Claus, I don't think so. Chiara would kill me, instead to buy me a new projector [Big Grin] !

Greg, if only. But, as I stated above, another projector coming will have as a reaction me and Pepa having to leave home eh eh eh!

Dan, you are right. Most of people here were so cute to me. But I know what you wrote has a special meaning. I'm still thinking about yours, loving to watch movies with you the same way Pepa does. Thanks a lot for your nice line on this thread. Really. I do appreciate it.

Hi Dino.
It's exactly the way we felt here during the passed days. The only people who knew about Pepa's problem were Keith and Osi. But now she's ok it's nice to share my happiness with all of you.

quote:

Keith, my dear friend, of course I will!
And how nice to see a picture of her! Did Lady/P. see the picture you have posted in such a nice place as 'our' Forum is?
How nice it to start the day with all your friendly and warm comments, pals.
Thanks!

Yes Gian. Lady Pam did see the picture and I was scolded for not using a better choice of "pooch picture".

I was told that I should have chosen the one where the dog is posing, wearing her Santa hat.... [Eek!]

Hi Gian,

glad to see, that Pepa feels better now.
I know what it means if our "family-members" feeling sick and bad.

And as I said in my mail: hope you will survive the screenings on the wall [Big Grin]

Take care,
Michael

Hi Gian!

Great picture of Pepa with the tree. I'm so glad Pepa's doing well. Seems December is looking up. Pepa's recuperating well, the "missing films" were found, and a new projector under the tree (just kidding about that last one [Wink] ).

My two dogs love to watch movies with me. The smaller one, a yorkee, is so smart and in tune with whats going on in the movie. His favorite is "Wildlife Interlude". He barks at the screen the whole time! My older dog Sparky (a mutt) just stares at me the whole time we watch movies [Roll Eyes] .

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

James.

Thanks for your greetings, James.
And glad to know Pepa is not the only Home Movie Pet Fan Club.

Merry Christmas to you too, of course.
And yes, finally it really seems December is looking up.
Ciao.

Hi Gian,
What a beautiful cat Pepa is. What kind of movies does she like to watch? I know Dan's cat Sweetums was a big fan of film noir but left the projection room if he put a musical on. [Big Grin] Is your cat the same way?

Osi - Gian asked Pepa if she had removed a Christmas bauble from the tree?

Pepa replied -

ME, HOW? [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

What does Pepa like to watch?

Why, the "Aristocrats", of course!

Ahh Gian! nice to see another cat lover on the forum!
My cat Petersen (named after the fictional 1st officer from the 1943 Titanic film) sadly passed away this year, he was 18 so in cat years he was an old timer!
He used to enjoy the film shows and was in most cases the only "patron" apart from myself, but he always used to like walking in front of the projector's beam!!??? [Big Grin]

Keith, Osi, Patrick,
you are so kind, thanks for your posst.
I'm sorry in reading about Petersen. Maybe a new puppy for Christmas (to find under the tree, of course, LADY AND THE TRAMP style!) could be an idea, don't you agree?

Keith, I always do my best to communicate with Pepa. Sometimes making questions to. The answer is always the same you have steted in your post [Wink] !

Osi... Well, THE ARISTOCATS is really one of her favorite (probably because of the jazz sound... EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CAT!). Take care.

Patrick, I was thinking about a little cat under the tree, in a box as Lady was found it the movie! But yes, hope for it could be a present for Christmas or new year's Eve.
Take care.
