We have 2 dogs, a cat, and 2 hermit crabs.
Peaches (Bulldog-7yrs old)-- She is a sweet girl, but she is getting old
. My husband flew to Georgia to buy her the spring before we got married. We have had her since she was 5 weeks old.
Trigger (Yellow Lab-- 9 months old)-- sweet puppy, but like all labs--he chews!!! He is huge--and acts just like the puppy he is. We got Trigger from the neighbor--their dog got knocked up, by another yellow lab. We brought him home at 4 weeks old.
Lug (regular tiger cat)--we adopted Lug from the Humane Society. He is 2 years old and we got him a year ago. He is the best cat--EVER!! He's so sweet. The orginal owners tried to kill the liter--this is graphic
--they swung Lug by his tail and hit his head into the wall. He make it-was taken in by another family. Their indoor cat at FIV (i think), he was an outdoor cat until he got attack by raccoons. That family took him to Humane Society-and we adopted him. He has mild brain damage. But most people don't notice--although some notice his weird characteristics. Lug has a tick--so his head kind of jerks when he walks. He also has an odd walk-- he lifts his feet--walks like a Tennessee Walking Horse--that prancy walk. He also slams his feet down when he walks. If we are downstairs in the family room and he is in the kitchen walking on the hard woods--it sounds like an adult is upstairs--no one would ever guess there is a cat walking around.
And the 2 hermit crabs. We have only had them a week. The big one my 4 year old named Skeleton. The little was named Buck, by my 2 year old.
We had a pet duck, as well. We bought him for my oldest son for Easter a couple years ago. We had him about 6 months. Took him to a friends farm-to live in the pond. The duck used to sleep with Peaches, in our bvackyard. So, the duck was not well equipped for the wild outdoors--it died the first night--was attacked by a coyote.
