Message
from Batttttty - No pets were harmed or humiliated
during the making of this page.
Their owners, however, were queueing right round
the block to be harmed and humiliated.
That's SITN for ya!

SITN's
TOP DOG is SYDNEY
Sydney is a lot like her master.... not in looks, although
there is a certain likeness,
but it's more about ATTITUDE.
Sydney admits it...
"Yes, it was Phil's HAT I CHEWED...
and his shoes... and his socks... and his book of UFO lyrics.
Ooops!
So if you ever go to a UFO gig and my dad's singing all
the wrong words,
it's all my fault. I'm the one to blame.
This is why I've been made to sit under the bedside table,
as punishment".
Please
send messages of sympathy and comfort (and Ferrero Rochers)

From the out-takes of the Force It photo sessions
we have Martyn's moggy - Jess - whose hobby is tap-dancing.
Here she is, sitting pretty after a night on the tiles.

Here's
Herbie, concentrating hard on his homework from Lesson 1
of the Dog Obedience Class - which was all about learning
how to climb through the dog-flap which Steve from Wulverammmpton
has chain-sawed with intricate precision into the solid
oak kitchen door.
"Show
me just once more" pleads Herbie, and his master (who
has completed the full course of obedience classes) squeezes
through it for the seventeenth time. It might only be one
small step for an 8-week-old puppy, but it's a tight fit
for a grown man - and Steve emerges with the sleeves ripped
off yet another t-shirt.
But
luckily he knows a place where he can buy more t-shirts
to replace each and every one of them... |
My
beautiful friend Bumblefoot
rescued this furry purry baby from a sewer
after she got stuck there during a flood.
Read the heart-warming
story of Bumbletoe's tumble
and how the humble Mr. Bumble heard a rumble
and stumbled upon her, looking like a bag of jumble, and
then minced up her up and cooked her in a crumble.
(I lied about that last bit of course. Look at his face...
Would he????)

Here's
Benji - 5th August 1993 to 7th December 2008
Benji reached the ripe old age of fifteen-and-a-half,
which is about 326 in human years.
Here's a photo of him in healthier days
in the hills behind Barry's house in Ireland.
Barry says...
"He was wild, he was willing, but by the end he was
very incontinent.
Benji, it was a pleasure knowing you, pup!"

And
here is Lulu, who is almost as crackers
as her dad Barry.
The word on the street
is that she'll do anything for a biscuit.
Here's
a photo of Lulu listening intently to
Escape From The Box
from Michael Schenker's 'Thank You' album.
At least, we hope that's what she's doing.
Maybe instead we should be checking
for dampness along the bottom of the box....

This
Kid's gettin tired of hangin around.
Luckily he has his very own Muswell Hill Billy
(or should I say Muswell Hill BARRY)
to take him away from the black back streets
and the people who don't know his name.
p.s. His name's Pepsi. I'll drink to that!

This dog apparently takes after
his master in a big way.

here's

on cold winter nights,
whilst at the same time keeping an eye on him.
Any
likeness to one or more of of the

(or to Dougal from The Magic Roundabout)
is
completely incidental and accidental.
Or maybe not.
|
|

And
here we have FITZ who likes to join in
when Uncle Max practices his bassplaying.
As
we all know, dogs have very acute hearing,
and Fitz looks as if he's trying
to prevent Max from playing.
SITN
can't possibly imagine why.

Pookie
and Soraya (or it could be Soraya and Pookie)
live in Florida with Tania.
They
look amazingly contented when you consider that
they get no attention whatsover from Tania,
who admits that she comes home from work
and logs straight into SITN and spends all evening online
catching up with the latest events in UFOland.
Obsession?
You decide.

Young
Mr. Lewis here
is living the life of Riley
as an honorary member of the NY Jets
His
hobbies are swimming, paddling,
water-football, and jumping
in and out of the pool.
Riley's
ambition (apart from playing
for the Jets) is to be a tour manager
just like his dad, cos all you have to do
is hang around with rockstars
and drink beer all day.
Now
*that's* what I call
the life of Riley
|
Oyyyy. What you lookin at?
|
I wasn't really scared...
but... there WERE seven of them
|
|
And
here we have Mr. Big, who is of course named after ex-UFO
member Billy Sheehan.
Cat-lover John Dryland (the Mr. Big at Cargo
Records) is such a big fan of Billy Sheehan that
he regularly tries - but often hilariously fails - to
have his own hair cut in the style of the great BS himself,
circa 1982. That's a photo we're saving for another
day, but let's just say, as a clue... 'Hair by Godalmightybloodyblimey'.
Anyway,
click on this photo of Mr. Big to see Mr. Big bigger.

Delores is the Queen of the Deep who keeps Geoff

OK,

Q. What has six legs and flies?
OK, here's a clue....
This little beauty is called Pookie - she's no highway lady
-
more a 'hideaway lady'.
And her daddy has always been
a big Kid and is now hitting
all the right buttons.
Got it yet?
No? Why not?
It's been on sale
since 2nd June 2003!

Well this little fella looks like butter wouldn't melt in

WRONGGGGGGGGG
Not only would butter melt in his mouth but lots of other

Sometimes, this jungle life is boring, pawing...

Boots
knows that
Santa won't bring any presents
down the chimbley tonight
unless he keeps his eyes tightly closed.
Boots
darlin, c'mon,
you can open them now... He's
been!
Boots...
Wake upppppp!
Donner & Blitzen!
Boots has done it again, dammmit.
Every year he takes a sly swig
of the sherry which Nigel leaves out
for Santa's reindeer.

This
scary moggy says..
"You can cover me in roses, put nickels on my eyes....
Oh, I already have nickels on my eyes.
Either that, or I've been spending too long in front of
the computer screen.
But I can't help it... the SITN website is just sooooo damn
goooooood!"

Tina
is a coooool cat - well, a coooool dog actually.
Or do I mean a coooool mouse?
Oh it's all so confusing.
But one thing's for sure - she's as crazy as her owner!
Tina belongs to Gilles from France,
who also goes by the name of 'Pete The Mad'.
Yeh... why am I not surprised...

Here is Holly's dawwwwggg Pasha
King
of the city - a Prince Kajuku among men
R.I.P.
20th February 2010 aged 12 years
|
And
here we have Leah who,
unlike her mum Holly,
is what's known as 'an older lady'.
Leah
was already 91 years old
when she went to live with Holly.
(that's 13 in dog years of course).
But it was a Lucky 13 for Leah cos Holly taught
this old dog some new tricks - such as how to walk safely
down
a purpose-built ramp into the yard.
Since 11th March 2011, Leah has been
snuggled up with Pasha on the
big cosy dog mattress in the sky.
R.I.P. Leah
|
|
| |
And
now here's Sarge, who according to
mum Holly is a sweetheart and a big baby.
But SITN says... he aint no baby! In dog years
he's even older than some of the band.
And he's probably better behaved too.
Hmmm, make that *definitely* better behaved.
|
Axeslinger's baby is called Raider, and here he is wearing the pretty
pink scarf which Axey normally wears to the Jets games.
Raider refused to model Axey's purple-sequinned boob-tube
on the grounds that it would clash with his scarlet pvc
stilettos.
This dog has style! Welcome to SITN, Raider ma boyyyyyy.
|
|
 |
But....
hold onnnnn a minute. What's this?
Here's
another photo of Raider looking much more dignified (but
not half as well-dressed).
This time he's sharing the stage with Skittles, who is apparently
part Jack Russell and part Spaniel. Hmmmm... would that
make him a Jack Spaniel's? Knowing
Axe, I wouldn't be at all surprised!
I'll
drink to that! |
Dicksy's cats always listen to UFO

T3DD's cat Mr. Chuck acts as lookout
whilst T3DD's other cat, Waffles (below),
gets up to no good.... I'd like to know what was in that packet - Waffles is
starting to look like a rockstar..... |
|
Oh just look at those beautiful soulful eyes and that cute little
nose. Couldn't you just spend all day tickling those pretty
ears ...
The dog aint bad-lookin, either.
Anyway, one of these two must NOT be fed after midnight,
isn't fond of daylight, and its hair must never come into
contact with water.
