Pets.

[Linedog]

They say you can tell a lot about a person by there pets. Some bite, some don't, I feel animals/pets have a keen sense about people. I have 2 weiner dogs and a plecostomus that takes up his whole tank. What do you have?

[Joshua Smith]

I have 14 lean, viscious timberwolves that patrol the grounds of my mountain stronghold. Viscious creatures that will shred any unwanted visitors limb from limb; but who tremble at the sound of my voice, which causes them to roll over on their backs, bellies bared to the sky in submission. They live only to serve me.

So, just what *is* the viscosity of a timberwolf? We talking SAE 30-weight, or thicker?

A 3 year old black lab who is the most lovable dog I've ever owned. He's actually not mine, he's Malinda's, but I get to claim him once in a while (usually when it's time to take him out to pee). The family also has 4 cats; the breeds are all a mix of Who Knows and Who Cares. That's as much as we can fit in our apartment.

And he is not near that skinny. Rumor has it that a small airplane tried to land on his back.

Housepets are cats. Two; identical/redundant, and of course, black.

[kdupreez]

we had 2 lovable chow-chows (sisters) that we brought from south africa when we moved 11 years ago. they bark with an accent and love friendly people who will give them a ear scratch'n

The one sadly passed away a couple of moths ago :( was like losing a child..

and a german roller canary called "chopper" in my office..

finally, we got a little kiddo (boy, named Jack) in november, but not sure if that counts as a pet yet

Not Fat, Just Fluffy! Actually, he was starting to put on some seroius pounds, until my wife stopped feeding him double portions of food.
Looking better now.

WE oh wait I Have a 8 month old Chihuahua mix who eats everything except dog food.

I HAD 1 55 gallon fresh water aquarium for which I was not a good caregiver and somehow still have two very hardy albino danios.

My wife who cannot say NO got us a 55 gallon salt water aquarium recently for which for now only has a couple small crabs and 4 snails. 3 snails I purchased. I dont think she realizes who expensive it is to MAINTAIN a salt water tank.

No pics of tanks


Do children qualify as pets?????

Are you saying the wife fed your dog YOUR portion????

One of the best gaffes of my life was announcing into a sudden silence at a baby shower, that I didn't know why anyone would keep a pet you couldn't housebreak for two YEARS.

[BASSMAN]

No, but pets do often qualify as children or at least part of the family.

Now if your children couldn't talk back, would eat dry dog food every day and then get so excited every time you get home, they run in circles, wiggling their butts(my dog has no tail) and jump up and Dow with excitement...

How else do you think I lost so much weight? My weakness is for those Beggin' Strips!

This is Josi our Family Dog

[Jeff Pack]

Not having kids, our animals are all part of our extended family.

Our parrots though are the closest to actual kids, as 3 are 16-17 years old, and one around 8.

The "piggies" as we refer to the Pygmy goats, will come right up to you for a greeting, 1 Llama will as well (and loves being petted). The other Llama is kinda stand offish though.

The cats, well, they are cats, 1 lives with the piggies, and is never ever far away from them., the other 2 live around the outside of the house, and the COG likes to stay with the dogs.

I also didnt mention our Koi pond, 2 of the big koi (18in+) will come up to you, and generally allow you to pet them. Although most of the time they just want fed.

I've had horses, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, turtles, fish, frogs, rabbits, wild orphan mallards, a flying possum, a hawk, and a fox. True story. I though I had animal husbandry licked but then I had kids. That knocked me down a few pegs. (green = kid, yellow = parent)

Snakes at "Casa De Pack" would be big big big "no no!" probably resulting in the removal of my snorkel
