This forum looked lonely so I felt I would start...

We have a dog named PO she is half sheppard half chow
We have a cat named ahya
We have 4 birds...1 love bird, 1 finch and 2 cockatales

Oh we can't forget the 20 fish

Lets hear about your pets

hugs

You have quite a house full! Do you have any problems with the cat trying to get the birds or fish?

We have an American Eskimo, Chrissy, who is 13 years old and a 7 year old black cat named Midnight.

At one time we had thought about getting a rabbit but we have wild rabbits where we live. We no longer want any rabbits since Chrissy threw up the remains of a rabbits head....really special.

We had a White German Shepard who lived to be 12 years old and a Lhasa Apso who also lived to be 12 years old.

Okay, who's next!

I am the proud caretaker of a little Yorkie mix, a goofy Black Border Collie Lab mix, American Eskimo mix, and a Pom/ Sheltie mix. A wonderful ex ferel cat named KatyPuff and I am so sad to say my beautiul Persian mix had to say good by at 18 on Tuesday, she will be sorely missed. The hardest thing and the kindest, I hope, thing I have ever was having my animals put down. Some how the other animals know I am sad and are hanging around more, not always a good thing, lab weighs 80 pounds. I would love to hear from people who have companion animals or service dogs. OOps forgot the 6 fish they will never forgive me.

Hi fellow petlovers
.


we have 2 cats, Snowball (yes, white) and Gravy (yes, gray tabby) =mom & daughter
plus a Jack Russell terrier Millie ( joined our family in Jan 2000 hence my son called her Millenium
.
)

we live by a stream and so have lots of waterbirds that visit and a duck family that have adopted us (thankfully my cats, tho outdoor, are not bird catchers)
and
being in Florida, the yard is overflowing with lizards
.

My son used to have a Bearded Dragon named Beardie, who now lives at the school as he grew a little too errr large for us

I am very much a cat person, and have had many wonderful feline friends over the years

Good forum first post, Rocking4Epilepsy. I mis-read (still waking up) and thought you'd written that your dog is half cow. Duh! What was I thinking

Snoopy, how do your dog and cat get along?

Y'all sound as if you have quite a handful
.

I have a dog. She loves stuffed animals and... receiving presents. She came home (8 weeks) to 4 Siamese (since passed). She grew up around cats, and they "taught" her all she needed to know about puppyhood: Behave like a cat!

She put herself on a dehydration diet when I tried weaning her from (1 percent milkfat) milk. I told her doctor that she was behaving differently; she was withdrawing. He said that she was dissociating from the stress of not getting what she wanted. Well, she dissociated to the point that her pink nose turned white and I knew something was wrong.

Puppy ER and $450 later to learn she was dehydrated. Her doctor said, give her the milk; it's 1 tablespoon in a small bowl with bubbling tap water. It has to have bubbles or she won't drink it.

While on vacation earlier this month, she got a new dish. It's a cat bowl and it reads: Got Milk?

She doesn't like snakes or frogs (unpredictable and probably following my queues), but she loves butterflies and, what do you know, Lizards. She spent hours on end Lizard hunting in AZ. Of course, she never "got" one, but it didn't stop her from entertaining herself day after day

I don't think there has ever been a time in my life without a pet in the house, other than while away in the military!

Since I grew up with cats and dogs and myriad of other pets, it seems we always have had at least a couple cats and at least one doggie.

After our last dog passed away a few years back, we had three cats and I said at that time, NO MORE DOGS!

So, we have had many blissful years of having three kitty kats, one is mostly Siamese, one is a 50/50 mixed Siamese and one good ole Alley cat for good measure.

My statement of NO MORE DOGS went by the wayside Thanksgiving week last year. Last summer I was in our yard and spotted a dog on the edge of my property. The dog was a cutie, and I made the mistake of whistling to it and it came right to me. Well two weeks later and after putting signs up all over the the place the dog was "claimed" by the owner.

That is in June 2005, and even though we loved having that dog for two weeks, I felt relieved seeing him go and being back with his "family" and I was happy not to have the burden of owning a dog and three cats again.

Well, around Thanksgiving week last year, after dinner the doorbell rings, and I hear my wife yell, HI Shorty! (That was the name of the dog)

I knew immediately who was at the door, no not the people, but the dog. Evidently the dog was "lost" again and some neighbors at the other end of my development took the dog in. But after a few days, their dog and Shorty were not getting along and the Mailman saw the dog and said that he remembers seeing people at the other end of the development having that dog. (US)

So, my wife could not refuse the taking in the dog and of course I went and made signs up again in hopes of those owners coming back for it. I knew they lived in a Townhouse complex a half mile away so I limited my signs to that complex.

The signs were ripped down the next morning! I think the "owners" did not lose the dog but abandoned it! The vet said the dog was beaten, he could tell by the reflex actions to hand movements, and so could we.

The bottom line is we adopted Shorty, he gets along fine with our three cats Munch, Dillon, and Hidey, and he is so well behaved, loves to play catch Frisbee and lives to play with my grandson.........

Shorty is a Pembroke Corgi and I gave him a nickname of "Smilin George"

The photo is of Dillon (L) and Munch (R) sleeping on the sofa and Shorty last summer when we first had him for a couple weeks, with my grandson.

Jyes

They tolerate each other
.
- we did have another American Eskimo (bear) who we had to put down when he was 8 years old. Bear and midnight (cat) were buddies and played quite often.

You would see bear chase midnight then they switched and midnight chased bear....hilarious to watch

You have one interesting puppy - I have never heard of a dog dissociating....I do believe animals are very close to being human
.

I need to add a NEW pet we got tonight....
LMAO we now have a pet toad named Rita....
Just what I needed huh?

.

To all of you that have lost yours.I am very sorry!!

I have my Felix kitty he just turned 7 yrs old in may.
He is always following me around.When i am so sick i cant get up off the couch.He is right by my side.When i have had a surgery its as if he knows not to step on that spot..He always takes good care of his momma..
He could be anywhere in the house and i can say.Felix do you wanna treat?He will come runnin..LOL
When i am online,he is usually right here on the back of my chair.
For about 4 months i had a stray momma kitty i took care of but she became very aggresive.She gave birth to 2 lil baby kitties on 9-14-06.When i found them on my front porch i just knew they would be coming im yhouse..LOL
I tried to take care of momma kittie and keep her happy.
I played with her everyday.I opened the window for her so she could lay up there and look out.But after 2 1/2 to 3 weeks i guess being inside just took a toll on her.She became kinda crazy!!! She started biting her babies and throwing them around in the box!! Then she woul jump on me when i would go upstairs.I had to seperate her from the babies.Then she started howling which in turn made my felix howl...all night long!!!!!!!
So i had to give her away!!
.

I was finally able to convince my husband to let us keep the babies though.
They are almost 5 weeks old ..
.

One is male thats noops and a female lucky!They are just adorable and have brought soooo much happiness into our lives..
.

Now i have the task of introducing them to felix...LOL
