A pet/pets you WISH you had!

sairose · #1 05-28-2004, 07:53 PM

There's been pet threads, but me and a friend were talking the other day about pets we wished we had, so I'm starting a thread about it.

Me? Oooh, I love pets. I have many cats and one very fat, cute hamster! But if I could have another pet....I think hedgehogs are ADORABLE. I have no idea why I want one, or why I'm so enchanted with them. But they're too cute!

I also want mice! 3 or 4 little female fancy mice would be soooo fun.

I love Miniature Schnauzers! I would LOVE to have an entire herd of them running around my property

Aww... so cute! I like little dogs. But I LOVE big ones!

I would like a Great Dane more than anything. But they are so expensive to feed!

I currently am in the market for a small dog. Haven't found the right one yet as I live out in the country, and I am working with pounds and rescue societies since I won't buy a puppy. My friends wonder about me because I want to dress it up in sweaters in the winter.

My dream though, is to have a horse. I rode often growing up, and I worked with the horses at summer camp. I'd like to not have to stable a horse out, but have my own stable on my property.

My friend has llamas from her 4-H FFA days. She rescued them and they are a lot of fun. Her family takes them as pack animals on some trips. And they make yarn from their fur as well.

I would love to have a purse dog.

You know the ultra-riche women with purse dogs in their Louis, a 10-carat diamond bracelet to match the dog's collar, and a nice sterling flask filled with gin....

In my experience (I work with mice all day every day), males are generally nicer... but females can be fun too

My favorite are brown mice because they are so sweet!

I used to want a mouse, but when you see them every day, you quickly get over that

I have a cat, a dog, a rat, a turtle, and a betta. I want a wallaby, but I'm sure that's not legal

And giraffes, if you could genetically engineer them to be small, would be the coolest pets!

I want to be one of those women too!! Without the bling. I wish I had a Maltese or a Tea Cup Poodle to dress. I can't wait to put booties on my dog and watch it walk funny. Some call it torture, I just think it's to die for!!!!

Really? Weird! My main reason for wanting a female is that female rodents usually don't smell as bad as the males do.

I want a Beagle

Sadly I can have no pets where I live...

I would love to have a cat. I've never had one before, but I don't live anywhere that I could keep one. I'm also super-allergic, and even though I do take shots for it, just petting a cat for a few minutes will give me all kinds of reactions, like sneezing fits and my eyes swelling almost shut. It really sucks.

The1calledTKE · #11 05-28-2004, 11:55 PM

I would like either

bulldogs

Scotties

or sharpeis

A Random DphiE · #12 05-29-2004, 12:01 AM

i would DIE for a miniature maltese, or a scottish terrier, but i'll settle for a kitten!

CatStarESP4 · #13 05-29-2004, 01:26 AM

Cats (long hair and short hair breeds please)
Any 1 of the following dog breeds: Irish Setter, Collie, Cocker Spaniel, Australian Shepherd, Samoyed, Husky or Rhodesian Ridgeback
Rabbits
Tarantula
Koi

A Samoyed Breed Dog...there the big white ones that you think of as a steriotypical sled dog....

A prarie dog...they're so cute and I've read that they make good pets if they're spayed/nutered

A Horse...yeah...every girl wants her pony...

Ok, I just have to add this...my dad really, REALLY wants a pygmy goat...I have no idea why

I've been crying to my mom for... um... about 23 years to have a puppy. I'd die for a Yorkie Terrier or any of those little fluffy dogs. Unfortunately, pets that crawl outside of a cage or tank are a no no. Imagine my jealousy when my best friend begged her parents and then got a Bichon Frise.
