I currently have 5 pets, one dog and 4 cats. I have had 4 other dogs and a parrot in the past. So, what about you? Do have any pets?
Used to have a dog, used to have a cat, one died and that's about that.
The kids have a dog, im not a fan of him though. :teddyr:
I have seven cats.
2 dogs, 7 cats, 7 goats, 2 sheep, and my little brother. :teddyr:
I have a dachshund. May post a picture of him later.
Do roaches and dirty rats count? :twirl:
Wow SPazzo you on a farm? lol.

Ladies and Gentlemen...Tiggy. He lives outside mostly and hangs out on our deck. He was originally an indoor cat but his spraying got him banished to mostly an outside existence. He's a good boy though. I think he's about 7 or 8.
I also have a 35 gallon fish tank. Currently only two fish in it that seem to be the only survivors for the past 3 years. I'm a bit disgusted with the fish thing but I'm glad they're ok.
Here's my cat Scooter

One cat, four dogs, a gecko, a corn snake, and 17 goats.

@ Indianasmith, 17 goats? Holy crap! I get annoyed with 7...
Other than a spider who's made his home at the bottom corner of my steps, no, I don't have any pets.
Its web is in a good spot and it catches all the insects trying to make their way inside from the cold. It probably has between 5-10 dead bugs in its web including one of those Chinese beetles that look like orange ladybugs.
It started out as this tiny little thing and now it's about the size of a nickel. Not sure what kind it is but it's jet black and somewhat hairy.
It scared the crap out of me the other day. I walk in carrying about 6 bags of groceries and when I shut the door behind me, there it is right next to the doorknob my hand was on.
AHHH!!
It's a fast little bugger, too.
I won't kill it so long as it remains down by the stairs and doesn't come up into my apartment. The second I see it crawling across my coffee table, it's dead.
I have a black cat named Sam, who is evil.
Four house cats, three outdoor dogs, sixteen horses and ponies and about two dozen barn cats. And three kids and a husband to share them with.
2 Shelties- Lucy and Jack
Aussie Shepherd & Cattle Dog mix- Zoe
Bichon & Beagle mix- Pupper, we're taking care of her for my mom, who is ill
Qt Pi- Guinea Pig, but looks like Lucy's puppy
I also take a client (with Down's Syndrome) of mine to walk dogs for the Heaven Can Wait animal sanctuary. You might've seen them on Dog Whisperer, they send dogs to be socialized with inmates at the womens prison here in Nevada.

Ahhh territorial spraying.
You could get him neutered, which should solve the spraying problem. Lots of shelters do it for free or for a reduced price. Cute cat btw :)
I used to have a dog before my mother gave her away. I guess it was for the good, since she couldn't live with my fiancee and I.
Anyway, I do have a couple cats (one kitten).

Lisa
We just got Lisa a few days ago. She's driving Blackie insane. :teddyr:
Got a cat which seems to want to p**s at the back door all the time. Other than that she's a cutie, though somewhat schizophrenic. She doesn't like to be picked up, though that's probably only because my girlfriend tends to use her as a weapon, throwing her around for fun. The cat gets her revenge by giving us sneak scratch attacks every now and then, but for the most part she's pretty happy to snuggle up.
She's pretty small still though, even at 1 and a bit years old.

Aussie Shepherd & Cattle Dog mix- Zoe
Amazing dogs! We have a Cattle dog/Rottweiler cross. "Intrepid" She's a tank but quick and smart. She plays with our Miniature Dachshund (Tim) and our Labrador (Lucy the lunatic) has taught her to fetch and swim (which she does, but out of some sense of obligation, it seems)
QuoteI also take a client (with Down's Syndrome) of mine to walk dogs for the Heaven Can Wait animal sanctuary.
Ver cool. I know people who have people with special needs out to walk their Miniature Horses. It is an awesome programme: they can show the horses too.
You're right Newt, they are really smart! It's funny how different that Zoe is from the Shelties; The Shelties use their paws to "herd" you by smacking your ankles to get you to go where they want, and Zoe uses little nips with her front teeth on your upper legs.
I'm so proud of my clients, they are really good people. We were on local TV last week, and they did sooo well. I on the other hand, meh!
Just posted a video of the two. You hear my voice in it. I think my laugh sounds kinda strange... :buggedout:

Gotcha.
From own experience, our cat stopped spraying after he got neutered. Our other cat who isn't doesn't spray but rubs its scent all over the place with its head.
Both are outdoors cats during the summer, but sadly one has been MIA for over a week now. I hope he will find his way home because its starting to get very cold at night around these parts :bluesad:

That cat is my girl, Kookoohead, who passed away in April at 16 years. She had grown up with a Scottie, would wrestle and sleep with the Scottie (Scottish Terrier) so she was well used to dogs when the Jack Russel and Beagle came along after the Scottie died in 1998. She had her claws, and was at ease even with particularly small aggressive terriers. Everybody got along just fine. :smile: I miss my girl. :bluesad:
I have a house rabbit named Luna.

I've had her for about 2 years now.
Also, I have a long hair black cat in my house that we call Squeaky Cat cause instead of meowing, he squeaks.

My condolences Allhallows, we had a kitty pass away about 10 years ago. She was probably 18 years old, and we had her ever since she was a kitten. She finally got arthritis so bad she really couldn't move any more, so we had to have her put to sleep. It truly was the saddest day of my life.
We waited a while, and then went to the animal shelter and picked out Scooter. There's lots of great kitties out there that could use some love. And they give plenty back, and cheer you up from your loss.
MeQal, your bunny is adorable! :teddyr:

Reacherdoo was special, and had many names, my kookoohed, pretty girl... yes, that was the saddest day when I can't know her little head but must choose. Life in fact offers no poetry, it's us who imbue life with any merit. So justice matters. And dignity, loyalty and respect. It breaks my heart to be misunderstood; I guess I'm a bit of a missionary. :bluesad:

Sadly, they don't allow us to have pets at the apartment complex. :bluesad:
No, take that back, we can have either have fish or birds, but you have to pay a $150 pet deposit. Now fish, I can see how, the aquarium breaks you've got water everything, but how could a bird do that much damage?
My parents have two shi-tzus, I stop by and look after them when they're on trips or something. I miss having them to take walks in the part people look at me strangely when I'm wandering around the park by myself.

The cat died in April; my beagle died today. Only the little dog remains, Nammer, but we now have Chubby the cat, too.
My beagle was such a cool dog; he was sick for one day - today - and died quickly this evening around 6:30. What a year it's been. :bluesad: My good boy; I'm so glad he went quickly and at home and I did not have to choose. :bluesad: I am forever fond of that dog, Beauty. :smile: :bluesad:

I'm so sorry to hear about your beagle, my friend.
When I lost my shepherd Grendel a couple of years ago it was the same, one day she was fine and suddenly she knew it was time to go.

My deepest condolences. :bluesad:
Letting go of pets is never easy . . . we lost our cat, George, last fall.
Our new kitty Gina is a handful! I have a sack of pecans we picked up last fall, her greatest joy is scattering them all over the floor and rolling them around! Well, that, and tormenting my mother-in-law's "booger dog".
Sorry for your losses AHD!
I don't have a dog but I have 2 cats (Layla and Rosie) and when either one is gone I will be miserable.
Pets are so wonderful.
I also find them to be amazingly therapeutic. I am a very emotional person by nature and the older cat (Layla) almost always knows when I'm upset or depressed and is extra affectionate with me. It's pretty neat because she will appear out of nowhere as though she has a sixth sense. :question: :smile:
Thank you all for your kind words; here is a very recent picture of BEAUTY with Chubby, the new cat, and Nammer, soon to be 12 years old.

So sorry AHD to hear about the loss of some members of your "animal family". We lost our cat "Dexter" a little over a year ago. We miss him so. We still have our other cat "Dixie" who's getting on in years too. She's 11 now.
We also have an outside menagerie. We are currently feeding 4 stray cats that come around every morning. We also feed the squirrels, birds, deer and wild turkeys. Occasionally other assorted critters occasinally show up and hit the corn tray set out for the deer - a groundhog, racoons, chipmonks, and field mice.
Last summer we didn't actually feed them but, we had a gray fox and 2 of her babies living under our shed. And there was also a strange looking bird hanging around our bird feeder for awhle. Turned out it was a young hawk - no other birds would go near the feeder when he showed up. And the black bears usually start arriving in late summer. We had our bird feeder pulled down a few times. Last summer we had a Mama and her 2 cubs visit quite often.
We love the wildlife!

Raffine ~ that is a beautiful picture and my sincere condolences, Allhallows.
I can't keep pets where I live, so I had to make do with the rock hyraxes at work, both of whom are gone now. :bluesad:
So now, all I have in the way of animals are my collection of stuffed animals at home, most of whom are really stuffed. :wink:
Not currently, but my family has had lots of animals in the past. We've had 3 dogs, 2 lizards, some hamesters, a parakeet, and more fish than I could count.

(I don't have any pets, but I dog-sit for my family several times a year).
Beside our real pets, an indoor cat and 3 outside cats, we now have new visitors. For the past week a huge raccoon and a very pregnant oppossum have been hiting the dry cat food bowl at night. The raccoon makes quite a racket when it shows up!
I've got my three beautiful leopard geckos with me.

I am so sorry to hear that, AH! It hurts to lose the little companions that we adore.

I'm sorry for your loss, AHD.

Oh no. I'm so sorry. What holes they leave.
I'm very sorry for the loss of your furry family member....they mean so much to us.
In the apartment Alan and I live in it costs $500 deposit to have a dog so my sweet little Pittypat lives on our farm with my sister. She's half daschund/half Pomaranian with long red fur and one ear that hangs sideways.
So sorry! I just lost a guppy the other day. I know it doesn't compare, but it was one of my favorites.
So sorry to hear about your dog Allhallows. I know how tough that can be.
I guess you just have to think about how you gave them a life full of all the love they could have ever wanted, and feel good about that.
Losing a dog is hard. The species has earned the title of "man's best friend." Of all the animals, there are few more socially and emotionally compatible, and capable of friendship as we know it. The bond between human and dog can be very strong indeed.
where's that picture of doggett?
A black lab named Mya (dumb name, it was from my brother's ex-gf). She's a sweet doggy. But dear God, does she drool. And belch. And sneeze. She's all kinds of effed up, due to her being attacked when she was a puppy by a big dog. But she's sweet and easy to please.
