pets anyone??
 

i am a huge pet lover. i am very active on a couple of pet forums actually.

in my house hold i have two house rabbits. their names are Alex, and Ryo. And by house rabbit i mean they are litter trained and have the run of the house. yes they have a cage, but they are only in it when i am gone or sleeping.
i also have two betta fish and a golden snail. i absolutly love fish. when i have more space i deffinally want a big fish tank.
and i have three girl mice. their names are Soma, Mary, and Peyo. they are such fun to watch in there little house. they are very freindly and one of them loves to sit with me. the other two rather find ways to escape from me to go exploring.
recently i just added a red ear slidder to my collection. a freind had it wild caught since it was a baby (about 3 inches) and now is about 12 inches. there is no way it could survive if released, and she couldnt keep it anymore because she couldnt provide for its size. so now i have it. her name is pearl and i am quickly getting attatched to her. she will take lettuce right from your hand!
i feel like i have many dogs. i work in a show collie kennel. i see these 30+ dogs every day for about six hours. i have really grown to love a couple of them. if i had the space i would deffinally get a smooth collie, but apartment living isnt good for them. they are just simply too big and i think the land lord would have a fit!!

so what about your pets? you got any?

i am a fellow pet lover, but we are very traditional with our choices. we have a toy poodle named oliver who weight about 15 lbs. we also have a 50lb+ labradoodle named mozart. then there is our cat named possum (long story on her name) if we had the space i am sure that we would have many, many more if my kids had anything to do with it. the dogs are great motivation for exercise, since they are both house dogs and need to be walked.

We have a 12 year old dachshund, a bunny, a turtle, an oyster toadfish, a gecko, a 4 month old Boykin Spaniel puppy and a one year old cat!

Oh, and a rooster, two chickens and a baby chick

We love our pets. 2 chocolate labradors, named Molly Brown and Charlie Brown, 2 cats named Max and Mr. Robo, a hamster named Ferguson, a Guinea Pig named Mr. Wiggles, a beta fish named Puppy.

My Household:

1 bossy cat (Hunter)
2 naughty bunnies (Spot and Trouble)
2 boistrous zebra finches (Lenny and Carl)
2 grumpy firebelly toads (uhh, toad 1 and toad 2? I have to admit they are un-named.)
1 hungry goldfish (San)
2 humans (Jen and The Other One)

The humans don't have a chance! ;)

I adore pets...I'd have tonnes if I could but I know my landlords (my parents lol) wouldn't let me.

I have a cat called Lexus :) She's a gorgeous short haired tortie and I love her to death. She's about 10 months old I got her not long after I moved off campus and into my house. Basically (and this may sound soppy) having a pet completes my life! I have to have a companion and nothing loves you so unconditionally as a pet.

And she's great for sorting guys out lol - If my cat doesnt like them then out they go! After all, I'm going to have my baby girl a lot longer than the vast majority of them will be around :P

I have a Collie x Border Collie dog as well but he lives with my parents as I couldnt take him to Uni with me and the yard on this house just isnt big enough for a dog and I wouldnt be able to give him enough exercise. Besides, I doubt i'd like to go from hobby farm living to city :P His name is Emmett - a very "pretty" boy lol.

I have a soon to be 7 year old black lab (August 23)
a 1 1/2 year old miniature long haired dachshund
a toy pomeranian who will be 4 on August 19th. he's a whopping 5 pounds!

3 of my very best friends!

We own 4 dogs Bandit, Sundance, Barkley, and Pepper.....we foster 3 dogs for the humane society, Zero, Keisha, and Daisy. We have 2 adult cats, Mr. Ms. Kitty (long story) and Blacky....3 kittens yet to be named (just given to us) and a turtle named Tuck.

Please Remember to Spay and Nueter your pets!!

Lol at the Toad 1 and Toad 2. Sounds like us. We had a stray cat that showed up and was here for years. It never got a name, we all just called it yellow cat.

Our zoo
 

I'm glad my household isn't the only crazy one! My friends and family think we're nuts. We have:

1. Three dogs - Lucy (terrier mix), Bingo (Shih-Tzu mix) and Sadie (lab-border collix mix).

2. Four cats - Panther, Simba, Angel and Molly.

3. One Quaker parrot - Riley.

4. One bunny - Benjamin.

5. One guinea pig - Kelly.

6. One rat - Fiona.

7. One hamster - Emily.

The last two places my daughter and I have lived have been determined by the space for and acceptance of our pets -

I LOVE animals!!! I am actually planning on going to Mizzou (University of Missouri) for vet school. I am so excited, its my dream job.

Right now I have 12 chickens (11 hens and 1 rooster--Buff Orpingtons, Black Australorps, and one Silver Laced Wyandotte, i havent named them cause i can hardly tell them apart. Some i can, but i figured i might as well just stick with "chicken" as all their names..hehe) 3 dogs (2 German shorthair pointers, Sam and Jake, one Visula mix, Buddy) 3 cats (Gracie, Oscar, and Honey[regular shorthaired housecats]) and 2 cockatiels (Rosa and Carlos)

Right now its nighttime so my cats are all wired (got that nocturnal thing goin on...lol) and Honey is running back and forth and down the hall making weird noises. lol

When i get my own house someday, ill have horses and chickens and cats and dogs everywhere. Maybe some cows or goats. Its my dream to live on a farm. My dad switched jobs from farmer to welder/machine part maker right before i was born, cause you know farming gets you absolutely no money. And we moved, so i never got that experience. Maybe ill go scout out a farmer husband, lmao. Theres plenty in Missouri. :D Gosh, I'm a dork.

I have A almost 2 yr old pitbull named precious ...we have had her since she was 3 weeks old..biggest baby you would ever meet & we recently got fish 3 zebra fish no name yet...2 angel fish ...kids r still debating the names...A snail & A beta fish we think were calling swimmy lol & that is enough for me...my b/f comes over & he is not A pet person & doesnt know what to say because I keep adding more lol
Lori!

We have a gorgeous little tri-colored cocker spaniel called Simon. He's the best natured dog I've ever had, which is good for him because he's certainly not the smartest! He's brilliant with our 2 year old daughter, though. She rolls all over him and he loves every second of it. We also have a black kitty named Magnus that was a rescue. He and Simon are same-sex life partners, lol. They eat, sleep and play together. And there's a hamster called Adrienne, who can be very entertaining in the evenings. We like watching her antics, like hanging upside down from the roof of her cage and playing in her little rodent see-saw.

When I still lived in The States, I had a sweet little pot-bellied pig named Silly Pig. He was alot smaller than most and only reached 50lbs. I couldn't bring him with me when I moved to England but I'd love to get another. All this talk of chickens has me missing mine! I had 5 Rhode Island Red hens, called Parsely, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme and Ginger (I never knew which one was which) and a gorgeous Barred Rock rooster called CrowBar.

ok here it goes....

Diva...our mini dauschund, she is named after my daughter's softball team the Divaz

Harley...Our over grown Mastiff, that is currently prego right now OMG!!

Mitzi....My beautiful little Siamese kitten, she's my baby

Bubba...Our little white and tabby kitten that I found at 3 weeks old and had to bottle feed, he likes to nurse on our ear lobes since he never did with his mom LOL

2 Gerbils.... that my daughter's kindergarten teacher pawned on us...Thanks Mrs. Jackson

Fish....Galore!!! We have two tanks 50 and 30 gallon and my daughter has a beta fish....My favorite is my Parrot Fish her name is Mango because she is the same color, she is very amusing...she likes to rearrange the stuff in the tank!

There is also an old neighborhood Tom Cat that we call Puss...he just comes around to get fed and get scratch in the morning when I drink my coffee outside

WOW I HAVE A ZOO!!

laughs- i get grief cause of the dogs we have ..but we live in the country altho i must admit two of em sometime get more of my bed than my husband and i ... we have taz who is 9 years old and is a spitz and 4 female boxers (1 brindle, one pure white, and two fawn) named tizzy, angel, lilo, and lil bit. We had a male boxer named stitch up til a few weeks ago when a rattlesnake found its way into our yard and sent 4 of our dogs to the vet .. lil bit and angel seemed to know to leave something hissing alone ..while the other 4 were a bit more curious ... my son was heart broke to lose stitch he was a great pal for him that would ride everywhere with him. We spoil them endlessly as they are each our babies .. altho i must say Taz thinks we are here just to feed him and occasionally scratch his tummy. other than that he resents the fact we have 4 other dogs. I just fell in love with boxers .. they are so loveable and energetic and have such personalities!!! Angel likes to get in the pool and do laps daily.... tizzy thinks her full name is *tizzy get out of the kitchen* and she has caused more damage than i care to admit- i never knew a dog to learn how to open an oven!!..hence the name tornado tizzy on her papers. Lil bit likes to undo the gate and take off for a stroll every now and then .. and lilo thinks the refrigerator could be her personal buffet if we would just quit catchin her opening the door! i have heard of latches to keep babies outta cabinets and such but ya heard of a latch for a fridge for a dog?? yea .. we are nuts

I LOVE animals too! We have: All of our pets have more than one nickname.

3 dogs:
1. JRT/ Rebel (6 years old) aka Rurubear
2. Keeshond/ Candi (5 years old) aka FuzzyButt
3. Cairn mix/ Mickey (3 years old) aka MonkeyButt

6 cats:
1. Himalayan Maine Coon mix/ Meanie (15 years old) aka Meanie Beanie
2. White & tiger/T.J. (10 years old) aka Fat Cow(because she looks like a cow
3. Grey tiger/ Butterball (6 years old) aka Princess
4. Flame point siamese/ Tyson (1 year old) aka TysieWysie
5. Siamese(Tyson's brother) / Teddy (1 year old) aka TeddyBear
6. Ragdoll/ Puddin (8 months old) aka Puddinpop

We also have a stray that we have been feeding for the last 4 years but he likes to roam and wont fully adopt us. His name is Domino. Sadly enough we also have a new stray hanging around right now that I am trying to earn his trust.

I am a big fan of the (guinea) pig. I've had piggies for years. Right now we have a guinea named Binary, but I mainly call her my little pork product, porkerhouse steak, noisemaker, party favor..Un Pequeno. sweet pea, little on, Furry Little Wedge.

We had a kitten named Hexidecimal that we always called "Kit-F" ( Kitty= kit E), but he became veryy sick and died at 9 months. As you can tell, our animals "god given names" only appear on vet things... I'm very excited to see that other people have guinea pigs.

I'm jealous! I want a quaker parrot! They aren't legal in the state of Kansas, and they can be difficult to get ahold of, but someday I will have one.
Yes, someday I will have a quaker parrot. Someday I will also have a Timneh African Grey parrot - they are smaller than the red tail African Grey's and talk just as well ;) I think they are beautiful birds... in many respects, having a parrot is much like having a child.
I currently have 4 cockatiels, one which talks - his favorite phrase is "whatcha doin". I have 2 pied males (you can't visually determine the sex of a pied, but we know because they both attempt to mate with the girls) - they are General MooMoo and Fred. I have a normal grey female, Tweety. And a fallow female, Friday.
I'm a bird person if you can't tell. I love my birds!
We also have to cats. Tilly, we found as a stray by the convenience store dumpster. Then we got Socks as a companion for Tilly.
Birds and cats... our house can get chaotic sometimes! For the most part, we have trained the cats to leave the birds alone - but of course, it is a natural instinct to prey on birds, so we are still very watchful.
