Do you have a pet and what type.

hey guys im tryign to post a poll and id love to hear what type of pets you guys have. i have a dog named lady shes a german shepard/lab mix just got her december 5th she was abandoned as a pup and left to die for 2months in a wooded patch the local spca took her and had her for 3 weeks untill she found a good home with my family. shes now my spoiled rotten pup she even sleeps with me in my bed.

Ive always wanted a racoon or a squrill. i have traped many coons but never got one as a pet one day i will have one.

We have two dogs, a 7 month old Boxer pup (my avatar is him the day we brought him home), and a 7 year old Black Lab mix. The lab was my wife's dog before we got together, and the boxer is a pup from her sister's two Boxers. Both are spoiled, but they are fantastic dogs for the most part.

I have two Dachshunds (aka weener dogs); Griffey (male) and Sophie (female). They are one litter apart, same parents so they are brother and sister. Both are the black and tan short haired Dachshunds. They are a blast!

I have a 3 year old Pit Bull named CoCo. I got her from a breeder in Vegas. She's my second one. Tough as nails and sweeet as honey. I dont think I could have any other breed. Dont believe the hype , while they are great guard dogs they are even better family dogs. She's great with my son who is turning 7 next month and my first one, cleopatra who passed 3 years ago was just a s good with him. In fact she was great with him ! As an infant she would not leave his side from the time he arrived. She would sleep under his crib and never allowed him to be in his room alone.

Your Pit Bull is probably friendlier than my Dachshunds! I never met an unfriendly Pit Bull. Well I like all dogs anyway.

tru pits arnt as bad as everone says, my heart just melted for lady when i heard her story and i couldent help but want to adopt her. to bad my the rest of my family she wont leave my side. and when im not home they say she just lays on my bed waiting.

I have about 75 fish (where do they keep coming from anyway), a few shrimp, and a hundred snails (again, where do they keep coming from). The only ones that ever liked being petted though were the bettas, which I accidentally killed RIP

Lemme see, a Corgi, a Basset Hound, three cats, three ferrets, a grumpy old cockatiel, and an unknown number of fish.

The Basset sleeps a lot, the Corgi sheds a lot, the cats are cats. The fish make more fish. The ferrets? They're ferrets and quite the clowns.

My wife loves her "babies".

It's rarely dull around here.

I have 2 Siberian Huskies, one is white and the other is traditional colored. They rule the day in the house. Also have two black cats. And they rule the night. And last but not least a mother in-law!!!

Four-legged child #1, found 2 blocks from Yankee Stadium

This goof ball has been with me for the past 8 years. I'd like to say he's still my best friend, but the reality is that ever since SWMBO got pregnant with our 1st child he has never left HER side.

Four legged child #2 can be seen in my avatar

Two horses, if I didn't have to study so much I'd probably spend all my time riding.

we have 2 chocolate Labs...Jack and Louie.. They are brothers, and had them since they were 12 weeks old,they will be 2 in April and yes both 85 lb dogs sleep in my sons bed. A cat that lives in the barn and gets no lovin ,but does an excellent job at pest control.And 14 oxford sheep ,all with names,and now that lambing season is here,we can plan on feeding about 12-14 baby lambs

yup nessmuck you will have to keep me posted more often on how your boys doign with his sheep shows im sure the wall is full of ribbons by now.

Wife and I have pretty much been dog people over the years. All have made it to old age. Shepherds, labs, australian cattle dog (wacko). Our last annimal was a 90% wolf that we rescued as a pup. When the air force base was here a couple raised wolves. It was still legal in Cali then. The wolf was an amazing annimal and rarely let my wife out of his sight. He could be intimidating but was never an issue. Didn't really like to do dog things.
You could throw a tennis ball or a frisbee and he would sit down with a look at you that said what the hell are you doing. He was extremely well trained, never bothered visitors, would endure some petting from strangers and would go lay down and just keep an eye on things. He lived 14 years. Current dog is an akc golden who is
11 but still getting around pretty good. Has hip displasia and the wife takes him to a vet clinic once a week
for hydrotherapy and it works wonders for him. Treadmill in water.

Over a thirty year period in my life, I had nothing but Aussie cattle dogs AKA "heelers". I drove cattle trucks and worked around cattle pretty much all of the 80's. The first three didn't get to live exceedingly long lives for one reason or another. My last one was 16 when he passed on. ALL of those dogs were the the grittiest, smartest, SOB's I've ever been around in my life. My last dog had a 50 some odd word vocabulary. He was a clown and my "velcro" dog. Never needed a leash. Used to take him to the bars with me and he'd lay right beside me and follow me back and forth the restroom. NOBODY ever got in a vehicle I left him in and my wife was the only one that could come in the bedroom and wake me up if I was sleeping. He wouldn't even let the kid in. He'd bark and raise HELL but he never bit anyone to my knowledge. That old dog and I trucked together for ten years before I got married.

I was pretty heartbroken when he died. Told the wife that was it. NO MORE DOGS. The basset hound is hers from before we were married and she took the knot headed Corgi from some folks that knew nothing about dogs and were scared of him hurting their kids. I taught him some manners pretty quick. He's smart, he's cute but he ain't "my dog".

Heelers will challenge you every day in some way or another. IF you don't give 'em a mission, they'll find their own and it more often than not is something you'd rather they didn't do.

I love 'em but probably won't ever have another. I doubt that I could find one that would be a better dog than my old buddy and I don't think it would be fair to another dog to ask him to try to measure up.

That's not a pool in your backyard. It's a swamp!


I might have a dog as a pet, but then again that dog over there to the left might have a human as a pet. We're still working on who's the boss of who...:)

Oh yes, there is also a fish in the family and many horses who act like they are pets, but they're not.

Mick

AKA Blueys if you're talking about Blue Heelers Willie. And I do believe you are. I've had a few of those in my life too. The most loyest dogs around. Other dogs that are on a par with them are Kelpies (all types, not just the Reds). Most dogs have there only master as the food bowl, but them blueys and kelpies look to the human who feeds them as the real master.


Mick

Two dogs here. A Boxer and a Cairn Terrier. Siegfried and Hamish.

My family and I are allowed to live with a pair of benevolent cats. The older male is probably one of the best cats I've ever owned. He's got a much more dog-like attitude and insists on constantly being with people and actually doesn't mind water. As a kitten it was not uncommon for him to jump in the shower with me. Being kindred codgers, we're pretty good buds, he'll only drink water from a running sink. Every morning he follows me to the bathroom I turn on the water so he can have a drink while he supervises stropping of the razor. I then fill the sink up with water and soak my brush. He waits patiently while I take a shower and then hangs out to closely supervise the actual shave. When I come out of the bathroom, he generally jumps back in bed with my wife.

The female, my son's cat, is a bit more aloof and neurotic (like a normal cat). Unless she's hungry and he's not around, she has no interest in any living human other than my son. She totally loves him and will hang by his side constantly but I doubt she would care if the rest of the world inexplicably disappeared for good.

Currently only 2 cats, a abyssinian and a toyger cat. My work dog has died in a car accident (my car got mangled between a large truck and the fencing on the highway). In the past we had siamese, maine coons, dobermanns, german and belgian shepherds, rats, ferrets, parrot.

I was brought up with dogs as a lad. My father was a show breeder of Welsh Wire Haired terriers and Airedales. Always had a dog for many years.

These days, I live alone and, as I'm out half the time, I wouldn't have a dog as they need the company. I have had a moggy for several years now and she's fine with me going out! As long as there is food she doesn't give a damn if I'm there or not. Typical moggy. She has a cat flap to go out when she feels like it and she sits on me when I'm in. I know I'm her staff and it suits me!

Although I grew up with dogs (mixed mutt then lhasas), I have owned a green cheeked conure for almost 6 years now. Children insisted I get a live-in roommate post-divorce. Buddy is a great pet and does some talking. He's very aggressive with company for a bird that weighs barely 2 oz. He's got primary colors galore: maroon tail, green body wings, blue primaries, etc. Attachment 88290

Are you sure it's a he and not a she? Sounds like the bird thinks of you as it's other half.

Heck no. I'm totally unsure of sex and understand that a DNA test is needed to determine the sex.

A very nice golden retriever, Murray, lets me live with him. Here he is contributing some raw materials for the hanging hair test - since I am bald. Maybe that would be the hanging fur test...???

2 pure blood pits Kodiak 65lbs and Beau-hemoth 75lbs, 1 pit mix Bronx 95lbs, and a crazy 8lb cat named Kiki. All rescued all integral parts of our family. I really couldn't imagine a world with out pit bulls. They have the most outrageous personalities and are so damn loving.
