My dog is snoring up a storm right now! Yes, that's the real "Lucy." I'll post pictures when I'm back on my computer cause I'm borrowing my sister's right now.

You know what? I was about to post some pictures of my dog and my chickens, but it occurred to me that we have another thread like this somewhere. I think it's called "Show me your pets" or something like that. Anyone? Bueller?

Could be, but all I could find were threads years old and long disused.

This is another picture of my Marbles that I just took. When I walked in the door, and I turned on the light, she was in this position. lol I tried to sneak to get my camera but she woke up.

My girl has a miniature shorthair dachsund, Sammie. He's about 4 months old now. Too cute of a dog and he so smart. He's just destructive as hell lol. Always chewing on stuff.

I have a black pug named Xena. I lovvveee her.
And I want to brag because she is so smart.
She knows her left from her right when you ask her to shake.
And she just looks at you like she understands exactly what's going on all the time.
She is so adorable! But she's getting so old

This thread is making my so jealous! I always wanted some kind of pet, but most everyone in my family has allergies, so we never really had a pet (for long). My dad is allergic to most pets. My brother and I were too when we were younger, but for the most part (I think I may be mildly allergic to cats still) we've grown out of it.

We had a lop eared bunny for a little over a year. My dad was doing well with it around the 9 month mark, when he suddenly got really allergic to it. So we had to get rid of him.

His name was Patrick. My brother, who was about 11 or 12 at the time, named him because he was born on St. Patrick's Day. (Or so we estimated...when we got him they said he was 6 weeks old...so we looked back on the calendar 6 weeks and it was St. Patrick's Day!)

Anywho, he was a calico lop eared bunny and he was soooo cute. This is not him, but he looked a LOT like this guy, when he was young:



We have a finished basement, so we kept his home down there. We often let him out so he could run around a little. When we first got him, we would let him out on the tile floor, but he couldn't stand--his feet just slid out from underneath him. It was so cute!

The first instant that I am finally moved out and settled and can handle a pet, fiance and I are getting a dog. I'm so excited! He also wants to get a cat, but I'm nervous I'm going to be allergic to it...and I just can't get a pet and then have to give it away again. Even though my bunny went to a really good home (they had another bunny--don't worry Patrick was fixed!), it was so incredibly sad to let him go.

Live-in's dad keeps trying to give us a cat, because his girlfriend doesn't see the need to have her cats fixed.

I think we're getting away right now with A. We just bought a new couch and B. Our place is all on one level and litterboxes smell no matter how much you clean them.

I don't have to heart to tell him that I just really hate cats (live-in's dad has two in his house, too, one boy and one girl - the male is fixed but live-in's dad hasn't fixed the female because technically she's live-in's brother's cat so she's live-in's brother's responsibility).

I'll say it for you lol I hate them too

Do you still have Lucky? You could try saying that he wouldn't get along with the cat or something.

Hush your face - we'll always have Lucky! He's going to live to be a hundred and two! Coincidentally, he's probably that old in dog years now, anyway.

Well, that was another concern - we actually talked about it for quite a bit because Live-in likes just about any kind of animal (although dogs are his favorite). He seemed to think that Lucky would adjust well to having a cat around.

I think if it wasn't a kitten we'd consider it again - Lucky likes to lay all around over the place and pretty much do cat things - a kitten likes to play. Given lucky's big fluffy tail that he loves to wag - kittens tend to like attacking his hind end.

Our senior cat found us. She's beautiful, and I did finally find a picture of her on this computer, but it's not a great one. She clumbed a tree in our backyard as a kitten and was too high for anyone to climb and get her so we stood under the tree with food and finally coaxed her down. My mom let her inside to take a picture for a "Found" sign and Trill jumped into a dining room chair, curled up, and went to sleep. So she got to stay. She's named Trill because she makes a "trill" constantly. Like every time she moves. Our other two cats picked it up as kittens but they don't sound quite like she does.

This is her using the youngest cat, Blue, as a pillow. He was found at a barn. The caretaker had recently lost his hound puppy named Blue to teenagers doing donuts at night across the street, and this kitten showed up a couple of days later. He didn't plan on keeping him, so I took him under the pretense of making sure he got a check up (he looked younger than 6 weeks) and told my parents I would find him a home. Of course I didn't try very hard and he's ours. He's also called "Squeaks" because instead of meowing, he squeaks. Like a dog toy.

This is Gempa being bad...it's an old picture, but that's him on top of my parents' computer cabinet. I found him at yet another barn when I was in high school and told me parents he had been abandoned by a lake. I just knew he would likely be taken to the Humane Society otherwise and it was the middle of the summer...I couldn't stand for him to be euthanized. He's our big fat lazy cat, but he's the sweetest and politest.


And this is my adopted daughter, Riley. She's my boyfriend's dog, but I act like she's mine, too. We think she's part bird dog. She's a little neurotic, but she is ecstatic to see every person that walks in the door...everyone is her friend. This is her in his room trying to figure out this kitten we found. She was scared to death of it for a few hours, but by the next morning she wanted to play with it so badly she wouldn't let it sleep. He would curl up on my SO's computer for warmth and she would gently paw at him until he finally woke up, then she'd begin playing. She wasn't happy when we took him away.

This is my Miniature Pinscher, Hansel. He's from a shelter, but fits the "breed standard" enough that I was able to put him on the Pet Alternative Listing through the AKC. He's so handsome that we were invited to be the breed representative at our local kennel club fair in November!
Here is my fave pic of him from this summer, sailing away on Lake Mendota. He looks so happy and nautical!



Note: he can, indeed, swim, but doesn't do so voluntarily. Whenever we're on a boat on a decent-sized body of water, I think it'd be a lot easier to grab him if he were to fall in if he's wearing his little doggy PFD. Safety first for my four-legged child!

Riley is the same way. That picture of her in the water is rare, and she would only venture into the shallow areas. SO had her fetching toys, but when they landed in deep water she ran downstream and waited for them to come to her.

My wife's cat is pretty fat.
