Pets Anyone?

[MattPayton]

So I was just wondering what kind of pets everyone has?

I have a Dachshund, Pretzel, and a miniature Dachshund, Littles, (both girls), a Pomeranian, Joey, (male), and one who is a mix of pretty much everything but mostly hound, Hampton, (male). We used to also have a Gecko, Frogs, Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, Fish, a Turtle, and Hermit Crabs. But you know what happens with age.

So I was just curious what kinds of pets everyone else has, if any?

Growing up, I had a menagerie, including butterflies, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, fish, dogs, mice, ducks, - and Sea Monkeys!

Today, I have a miniature Schnauzer. Minnie is a nine pound, all white version.

So far we have a one acre pond with lots of fish, turtles and frogs and about a half acre small upper pond with fish and frogs. From time to time we have toads and a few snakes. We have wild turkeys in the field and sometimes deer and a bobcat that lives close by and a few coyotes and other critters. I have a black lab (Skyler Black Star), and a New Zealand White (Luna Bunnykin) so far. I'm hoping soon to be able to get more rabbits, and chickens and a pair of guinia hens. I may be getting a nice farm cat soon. My son has three nice cats and may give us one.

Oh man, Dundee, that sucks!

We animal lovers get as close to our pets as we do to people. Losing a pet can be devastating.

PICTURES! Take lots of pictures when you have the chance. I wish I had taken more. But I've learned, so now my dog doesn't even flinch when I use the flash...

i have 4 labs, 2 cats, parrot, horse, 2 tarantulas, 2 lizzards, and a tropical fish tank and an outside goldfish pond. we will be getting a spring calf and some chickens once spring weather breaks. growing up we had just about everything except pigs and geese. LOL quite the petting zoo!

[tjbren]

Wow jamie83, that really is quite a zoo!

The guy across the street from my uncle's farm had llamas and alpacas. I liked the alpacas, wouldn't mind raising some of them, but holy cats! They're not cheap!

I have one cat (bombay/tiger mix- looks more Bombay which is a black cat) named Midnyghte. Midnyghte is 6 years old, he was born within my family.

Seven dauchunds-3 boys, 4 girls One was abused before we took him in (behaves nicely now) and two others have back problems but we care for them as best we can. My wife would love an Irish wolfhound but I told her not untill the current rug riders are gone

We have been rescuing Shelties (Shetland Sheepdogs) for close to 29 years. We love the breed and have had 8 of them. Right now we have three, Irish 15-1/2, Maggie 6-1/2 and Riley 5-1/2. Irish is starting to show and act her age now. Is getting arthritis real bad, limps and very wobbly when she stands and walks. I am so dreading that day....

We have a Hermit Crab - Henry. He's awesome!

We have been through cats, hedgehogs, fish and tarantulas but now have three leopard geckoes, a 4 1/2 foot corn snake and our youngest childs newly acquired lovebird. This is, by far, the most demanding of any of our pets but still a pleasure to have around.
