Talk abut your other pets!

[JerseyWendy]

I can't just talk about Oscar and Ziva without showing you all those I have loved and lost.

Dollar was our very first dog. A Golden Retriever. We named him "Dollar" because we got him for $70.00 back in the late '80s in Oklahoma. Dollar traveled the world with us. He will always be my #1, in more ways than I can explain. He would walk by my cockatiel's cage when she called him so that she could hop onto his back or head, and then he'd bring her to me.

Then there was Simon, our Bernese Mountain Dog. He was our miracle boy. He already had ailments when we bought him as a pup. He lived to be almost 12. His nickname was "Sweetsy" and "Face". You'll see why.

Then there was Max, our 2nd Berner. Max had a phenomenal pedigree, and we paid a pretty penny for him. He was enormous for a Berner. Not fat, but very tall, and he weighed 140 pounds. We lost Max to cancer when he was only 8. He was my Doodlebug.

They may be gone, but they will NEVER be forgotten! I miss them each and every day.

I have 4 snakes(One is having a extended stay with my friend ), 1 dog although I live with 3 and love them all, and lots of fish.

This is Alucard my male cinnamon het genetic stripe who is staying with my friend

Lothlorien the anery corn snake, I got her at the same time as Alucard at a reptile show from their breeders. Lothlorien's breeder is local and super nice.

Daenery's the pastel ball python, she's so pretty and one day she and Alucard will hopefully be breed together and make some beautiful pewters. She has gorgeous eyes.

My newest snake is name Agro, a friend of mine was moving to a apartment and could no longer keep him. He has a pretty bad cork screw(a genetic trait to spiders) so needs a very caring owner, I love him and am so happy she trusted me to care for him.

This is sugar, she's a Maltese papillion mix, I love sugar so much even if she does sometimes run across my face barking in the morning when people open my door.

Ok, I have:
Fish - a little koi carp, 2 silver orfs. We had one with no eyes that died the other day. We bought 3 babies but one of them already died.
rabbits - we have two bunnies. One is a chocolate and the other an agouti. Mine is the agouti, Daisy, my little sisters is the chocolate one called Rose. Last year, her rabbit(the naughtier of the two) escaped for about a MONTH, or maybe even more. She survived in the wild for all that time while we tried to catch her until one day she was in our little area by the back door that is fenced off from the rest of the garden. Mum was sure the gate was open before but now it was closed. Guess our guardian angel decided to catch our bunny for us!
terrapins - we have 2 terrapins (turtles). Mine is Squirtle and My sisters is David. They are getting pretty big, and David is the bigger of the two. Her one bit her finger and wouldn't let go once. And he was outside and we couldn't find him, but later on i found him again.
dogs - Long story. We have this dog, Jay, a GSD x collie. He is a very loyal and friendly dog, but he is what I would describe as the moluccan cockatoo of the dog world, lololol:32: he needs constant reassurance and is somewhat neurotic. He has a separation anxiety problem, and when he goes on walks he gets really excited and will be barking and howling and making annoying noises while we are walking down the street(everybody normally stops and stares) lol.
But recently he had quite an amazing adventure. We were on holiday in Cornwall for a week (which, for the record, is 300-and-something miles from home). We brought Jay with us of course. We weren't supposed to leave dogs in the cottage but we left him while we just popped out. Well, we came back to a note under a rock saying "so sorry, but you had left Jay with the run of the whole house(upstairs etc) so I locked him in the conservatory. He then forced open a window and now I can't catch him!" She had apparently chased him in her car, so it was no wonder that he bolted. He wanted to find us. He was in a strange place, without his family and a stranger - he had to find us. She said he had gone feral, but we believed it was rubbish. We were devastated. We looked all around for him that day. There was no sign of him. There was a storm that night. We feared the worst. But the next day, when my dad and I went out looking for him, there was a woman in her car saying "careful, there's a dog on the loose"! We turned the corner, and there he was, covered from head to tail in mud and rainwater. We tried calling him, but he just kept running, and he bolted all the way across a field. That was the day we were leaving. We actually had to leave without our dog. But we put him on a dogslost site, he had his own facebook page, we put up signs round the neighbourhood and his story was even in their local paper. We had people phoning us up from all over the area saying that they had seen him. We even went down there again and stayed in a cottage offered for free by a lovely couple so we could look for him for two nights, but we weren't so lucky.
Eventually We got a puppy, a GSDx rottweilerxmastiff called jude. But he was nowhere near as good as Jay.(I have to admit he can be a major pain in the butt sometimes though still is loving).
Jay was missing for 11 weeks before we got him back. Someone phoned saying they had put a trap up for him but it hadn't been working. They fixed the trap and it caught him! So we were going to go down but waddayaknow? Our car wouldn't start. So the mechanic came out. Next day it started and we were going down to get our dog. You wouldn't believe how relieved he was to see us again! He wasn't overly excited, but he just came crying to us as if saying, "you finally cmae back for me!" When we went inside the cottage that had been converted from a barn, he would come to each of us in turn, first mum, then dad, then me, then my sister, then back to mum again. He just couldn't believe his luck! After making his rounds, he nosed around in the bag and found his ball, and asked to play ball with us. (He has always been a major football fanatic. There's nothing he loves more than a little kickabout and his head is in the game!) He remembered us. And there's that woman saying he'd gone feral! As if! He was looking for us all along. He was on their local news again. It felt so good to stroke him and hold him again. We stayed with Jay in the cottage on the day the world was due to end, and we brought him home just in time for christmas. The next day, we were due to go home, but our departation was delayed because my mums car wouldn't start again. Mum had to join the RAC for £100-something! But it was worth it to get our dog back.
Jay is now happily at home again, and well... Nothing's changed. He's the same dopey dog he always was, and me? Well, we're just glad to have him home.

We have some horse and dog lovers on the forum! And they're all adorable!!! No cats yet, eh? But to be honest this is a bird forum...

 

[ConureCrazy]

OMG I SKIPPED A PAGE!!! Sorry....

 

[Pugtato]

Oh my goodness Pugtato, your pug made me laugh right out loud!

HAHA! He is a total goober! The story behind that picture is kinda cute; you see I always drive and my fiance is always the pug-pillow, and he knows how to hold him so he will go right to sleep. Wellllll...I don't!! So Winston tossed and turned for half of the two hour ride before giving up and flopping into my lap on his back in a huff! He snored HORRIBLY, and it was absolutely adorable!

Alternate Angle!

 

[ConureCrazy]

OMG, LOL!!!! Winston is adorable!!!!

http://www.parrotforums.com/members...6323-angie-allison-cuddling-awww-how-cute.jpg this is my american bulldog allison and angie my bully mix. i say she's pit and boxer mix but sometimes i doubt myself she kinda looks more like a am staff with boxer markings which im sure a pure bred can possess the same kind of markings. allison i have had since she was just 6 weeks old, she's the princess of the house. angie is a rescue who was brought in by a client at work. she was found in the womans back yard in the woods. she had dug herself a den under a tree to keep herself safe. when the woman found her she had noticed angie had very previously had puppies and was still lactating. when she finally got her to come close enough for her to bring angie in the house. she also checked the den for puppies. unfortunatley there were none. mind you at the time angie was found it was in the middle of august, so still quite hot outside. so we think she was used for breeding and then dumped on the side of the road some were. nobody ever claimed her so i did. and she has been such a wonderful addition to our family for what ever she may have been through previously. allison, like i said before she's a princess, she thinks she's entitled to everything, she even tells me when it's my bed time. ha! if she only knew, but she is my baby . and mommy spoils them rotten.

lame, i don't know how to post pics with out having to click on the site to see them. im not that technically inclined i might need help for more sharing. i have a 90 gallon fish tank too but i would like to share pictures with out hassle either. so i still gotta figure this thing out. :09:

 

[ruffledfeathers]

I'm with JerseyWendy on this one. I have shared a couple pics of my 3 dogs in various posts, but this made me think of those I have lost but never forgotten. Pablo was my canine soul mate if that makes any sense. He was the doggy version of me and from the time he was a baby, we were a perfect pair. This is Pablo with Georgie, back in 2001 when she was just a youngster (and he was 5).

 

[Doves1]

Lady is my 14 year old dog, I've had her since I was 5.

Kumori is my year old Akita Cross, he's a big suck and so lovable

Blaze is my big boy that I broke and raised, he's a paint/quarter horse mix

 

[NWQuakers]

Doves1, I love your critters!

We have a big red horse named Kate. She's a Morgan/Belgian cross that we are training to do farm work.

We also have a Rottweiler/shepherd cross named Stewart. He's about 125lbs and as big as a pony. His little buddy is a cardigan welsh corgi named Fergus. And we have 3 kitties, Crichton, Newt, and Otto von Bismarck.

In the non-pet category we have a flock of laying hens and a couple of roosters, 52 total for now.

 

[ConureCrazy]

Guess we're all around animal people!

AWESOME Bulldogs!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm only a "little" partial here

As for posting pictures, this is how I do it: I use either PhotoBucket (www.photobucket.com) or ImageShack (ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting ) to upload my pictures. Once uploaded I "share" them with the forum.

I've had cats my entire life. I had a black and tan German Shepherd who passed when I was around 3 (my parents had her before I was born) and I had a white shepherd for 15 years. She was my baby girl. I miss her. We had her put down on November 15, 2008 and the pain is still there.

Jasmine was huge for a female German Shepherd. She weighed almost 115 pounds at one point. We discovered she had a thyroid problem and was put on a pill a day and lost the excess weight and was still huuuuuuge! She was a gentle giant, unless she didn't know you. She chased more than one Jehovah's witness into the bed of my father's pickup truck.

This is Moo (MooShu). He is a lilac point Siamese that we found. Who gets rid of a Siamese? He's quite the character... and a total pain in the ass. Maybe that's why somebody dumped him. He's our buddy and everybody wants to steal him.

He likes to hide in boxes.

This is Inky. He's my 20 pound wonder. He's another one we 'adopted'. My former coworker's brother was moving and giving his cats away, nobody wanted Inky so he was going to dump him in a shelter. This cat would've been put down. It took him almost 3 years before anybody could pet him without him freaking out. I like to think I saved his life. Now he's a very friendly cat who looooooooves to sit next to you and cry at you with his scratchy meow. He's very tolerant when it comes to being dressed up.

This is Sniffles aka Mulch-Monster. We've had her since she was a kitten. She will be 16 in May.

We have to shave her every summer because she gets matted and full of knots. I like my skin how it is so I choose not to brush her.

This is my little black cat, Mister Finck. He doesn't live with me anymore. He went to live with my elderly aunt. Finck kept getting beat up by Inky and I couldn't give Inky to my aunt (he's got those issues) so my Fincker Stinker went to live with her. She is extremely happy to have him and he is spoiled rotten. She lives alone and lost her cat to cancer about a year ago. Finck is King of the Castle in her apartment and loves it. He still remembers me when I go to visit and he'll run right up to me crying to be held. I always held him like a baby and would tote him around the house.

I got him as a tiny kitten which made giving him up so much harder. he was my baby Stinker Fincker.

I have a small zoo of other pets! Along with my two birds I have 2 dogs, 5 cats, 2 chinchillas, a hamster, 3 geckos, and 5 snakes. Here are some pictures of some of them:

 

[Abigal7]

I have Joseph a 3 or 4 year old australian terrier. He is neutered. Anyhow my mom got him and a female yorkie (who is not spayed) from an elderly woman. Since she breeds dogs and does training classes she has been having people sometime just give her dogs. My mom gave him to me when I moved out of the apartment. I don't think he ever played with toys when he was a puppy. He does not chew on anything he is not suppose to. He is getting better in that he will chew on bones, and forage treates from the chong. I am tryng to get him to play with his squeaky toy. I kind of feel silly acting like I am having so much fun with it. He did put the toy in his mouth and walked around with it but that is all so far. He pretty much ignores the bird.
