Since I live in the house, I can't have more than "small bowl fish" as pets for now.

I have 2 bettas, Delta, which is an all-white betta, and Gamma who is a deep turquoise blue. I've had both for over a year now

When I move out of the house I definitely plan on getting a puppy!

That is sooo funny! When i was active, I had a couple betas. One was Delta and One was Le Poison Petit.

I have wanted a puppy for so long since I moved away from my parents and I am finally gettin one in June. It is a little peke-a-poo from a woman I know. I am going to look at him in a week or so and he will be eight weeks old when I pick him up in June. I am so excited!

We have a yellow lab/ golden retriever mix. He is about 5 years old. He is named Maguire because he was born the day Mark Maguire broke the homerun record. He is sooo sweet and very protective of us. If you even pretend to hit someone he will pull your hand off, but if someone broke in he would lick them to death until they tried to hurt one of us.

My sister has a cat named Timbo. Her ex-boyfriend gave him to her after hers died. (His name was Tim and hers is Brooke, hince Timbo) He is mean to me, because I am the one who lets Maguire out in the morning and my sister doesn't want to let him out here since we just moved not long ago. She is afraid he will get lost, and he just thinks I am a meany, because I won't let him go out. Any other time, he is pretty sweet though.

I want a Tea -Cup Yorkie. Hopefully, I am going to get one as soon as I get a job (which should be soon). I want to name him Someee (Sophrina, Octavia, Mary, Eugenia, Elizabeth, Ella). My neighbor breeds them. She said she should have a litter sometime in September. That reminds me, I need to talk to her about it.

This is my kitty Tiger. He is 13 months old. He thinks he is a dog though, because he likes to play fetch. The picture is of him running up our stairs, carrying his toy ghost in his mouth to bring back to us!
He is a WONDERFUL kitty!

Ahhhhhh! His face looks EXACTLY like my cat Buster.... EXACTLY!

I have a 2 year old Yorkie named Cheyenne. She is our little baby! She enjoys car rides and traveling, and loves our Association picnics in the summer where she can play with other ADPi dogs. (If I ever get another dog, I would definitely like to name her something related to ADPi.)

I knew I would always end up with a Yorkie b/c my Mom, Aunt, and cousin all own one.

BTW, does anyone know where I can get pet gear that can be personalized with greek stuff? :-) Greekgear.com only has a collar and bandana.

Y'all have heard me mention Pam (and some of y'all have met her!), one of my best ADPi friends. She always has two Samoyeds, beautiful, beautiful dogs! The elder, Icee, has won four Agility ribbons, and is up for another competition, while the younger (Crystal) is still learning. She stopped into my office yesterday, and our Buffy was there. Buffy usually barks his head off (why is it that little dogs have to pop wheelies when they bark?!), but he took to Pam in seconds! If she had stayed much longer, I think he would have been in her lap - which is a good thing, as she was wearing a beautiful outfit that didn't need white dog hair on it!

This thread is perfect for me because I absolutely LOVE dogs, especially pound puppies!!! I can only handle one for now but I can't wait to get another one some day. Her name is Charlotte and she's two years old. She is like my little child since I don't have any real children yet! And her best friend is my roommate's ADPi dog named Princess!

I have 2 dachshund puppies, 1 that's a year old, Tucker, and 1 that's 3 and 1/2 months old, Bailey, both boys. I'm going to try to get a picture of them to put up here since I can't help but show them off! They're my babies! LoL

I have a guinea pig My husband and I lived in an apartment that didn't allow pets. We got her anyway. We are looking at getting a dog or a cat once we get a bigger place.

Our piggie Gizmo:

I posted last year about my animals, so I thought I would finally post pictures...

Here is F. Scott.. He is 10 years old... He still ends up living with my folks, because he is so stuborn...



Here is Zelda... She is also 10 years old and F. Scotts sister... She thinks she is queen of everything... She too still lives with my folks



If you haven't guessed, F. Scott and Zelda were named after F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald... I have a thing for writers of that period... My dog before he passed away was named Hemingway...

And last, but not least is my baby, 3 and a half year old, Fluffball... He got his name because when we got him all he was was hair... We kept saying that we need to name that Fluffball... and well the name stuck...



It is funny.. In the picture he is laying on a rug that is ment to look like a lion...

So yes, those animals are my life... I would get a dog, but I am still living in an apartment so right now it would not work out the best...

ASU- That's funny.... my brothers roomate 3 years ago had a cat that we called 'little shit' too!(Of course she was never around when we called her cat that! lol)

I have a 3 yr old, 22 lb cat named Traylor.
I went to the vet this year to see why he was so big, we thought he was overwieght, but the doctor told me it was because of his breed. He's a Main Coon. When they're full grown, they can stand on their back legs, and see over a table top! (My sister-in-law calls him Puppycat) He is the sweetest cat too!

OMG, Nauadpi! My "EddieBoy" has the same face as your F. Scott!

I have 3 cats:
-Misu ("mee sue"), a 12 YR old Calico I adopted in college. She was named by my then-boyfriend... She's quite fat these days, but she was once the huntress!! Now she mostly sleeps and eats - and spits at the 2 kittens we adopted from a rescue group around Christmastime.

- EddieBoy, a black & white shorthair. VERY dog-like, follows my hubby around all day!

- Natalie, a sleek, all-black shorthair. She was from a ferral litter and hides all day under a bed. She comes out when my husband is not home or asleep. (She was fostered by an alum in my town!)

Speaking of "Crooked Head"...
Our family cat, Freddie, was 18 years old when we had to put him down. He was the best kitty ever! He had a crooked head from some unknown seizure he had as a kitten. One day he was sceaming in the garage, paralyzed! He recovered, but his head was always on an angle.

LOL

My parents have a beautiful white cat they named P.I.T.A.
She is such a diva. She thinks she owns it all!

She probably thinks she's named after the magically delicious pitas, but alas, it is an acronym for Pain In The A

I wasn't going to mention this, but... when I was in high school, I had a black cat named Sharley. Just prior to his becoming neutered, someone shot him - in the eye. He lived, but the pupil of his eye pulled into the hole in the corner of his eye, leaving him very crossed-eyed. So, Sharley couldn't get neutered, and was quite the lover - in fact, I still see kittens that look shockingly like him!

The funny part is, neighbors once called my mother & said to "get that pirate cat out here!" We never knew that the sweet kitty we had was known as "the pirate cat" because of his eye!
