I just was interested in how many people on here had pets. If you do, what species? Did you get them at a breeder or a shelter? What breeds? What do they look like? Do you have pics?:D

Dear Fallen, my cat is on my profile, named Pickle because when she was small she was always 'in a pickle'. Have a rather large dog, Taffy and she and the cat are inseparable, in bed or out. Have always had both, can't live without either.
Both were foundlings, as all my pets were and ever shall be.
Thanks Tickle! I have a sheltie-mutt, Katie. She adores cats. Likes carrying baby ferrets too. What kind of a dog is Taffy? And Pickle is adorable.
Guess :-)
Marsupials?:D
LOL... your smarter than the average Bear FFG :-)Quote:

Allergic to cats.
Def a dog person.
At first glance, I look like a big dog person... something like a german shepherd... alaskan husky.
I own a tiny 5 lb chihuahua.. . the looks I get when I'm walking her. Oof.
Cat person here. Four cats--three rescued from the mean streets of the neighborhood and one arrived as a kitten from a friend's cat's litter.
My cats have taught me things. Live for Now. Vomiting doesn't always happen at a convenient time (or in a convenient place). Get lots of zzzzz's. When in doubt, wash.
Same thing for small dogs.Quote:

Don't worry Sneeze, I had a friend that was a 6'2 bodybuilder and he had 2 chihuahuas. You are not alone my friend.
I forgot to say, I have a dog... I pretend not to like him... But...
Cody Dean Dern Buck Snort Long Neck Leg Horn Elk Horn Dean Dern... We call him Cody or Dean for short... LOL
I LOVE HIM!
Wow.. I guess no one could agee on a name? Poor baby, he probably has multiple personality disorders.. :DQuote:

I guess I'm a dog person -- not the small fluffy kind -- not the ones as big as a horse
Not into poodles or pit bulls -- can be trained and useful -- man's best friend
Cats aren't happy to see you -- and seem to have an attitude problem -- wild
Actually, as George Carlin points out.. the difference between cats and dogs comes down to... eyebrows. Dogs have eyebrows, it makes them look like they are very expressive. Cats walk around looking like they are seeing out of... new eyes for the first time. *blink.. blink... blink*:DQuote:

When I adopted my dog I was looking for a puppy but she caught my eye, she just lay there and looked at me with those pretty almond shaped eyes and did not even wag her tail, but when they brought her to the family viewing room she turned on her pom charm and danced all over the place wagging that beautiful black tail and throwing it up over her back... how could we resist that. Oh and she waves her little paws.. how cute. So, my family adopted a full grown, black female dog, when we were looking for a multi colored male puppy. Go figure.
1 male dog chi/rat terrier mix pic is on my profile. He was a rescue One of the sweetest dogs in the world our baby boy and is treated like a little king now. My husband worships him.
1 male cat I have had for 11 years. He walke dinto my life on a snowy night 1997 and has been with me ever since he is a huge tabby.
1 manx black and white female cat with a upside down nike check in the middle of her head, found under a car in the middle of the street. When she was a wee kitten in 2004.
2 black twin sister cats, given to me by 2 little girls (my daugter knew)walking down the street, they lead me to another 20, 30 40 or more cats that a hoarder had let take over their yard. We rescued 24 kittens that day plus the 2 I still have that was almost 2 years ago and they are still with me. Soild black and beautiful. 1 sits on my desk every time I'm on the computer. She is my princess as well. The other 24 went to various rescue workers.
If I had the space and funds I would probably have more. But even though I can't keep every stray I come across I never turn one away there is always a way to find one a home.
I LOVE ALL ANIMALS!! I have rabbits, horses, chickens, dogs, cats, and fish.
I have a Highland Lynx cat... He's my baby - acts more like a dog than a cat though. He loves his belly rubbed, greets me at the door, follows me around, and will actually get IN the tub if I let him... crazy cat.
He's actually worth more than me - one of those "ritzy cats" that a friend bought from a breeder when he was born and couldn't take care of... I was the lucky one!
Name: Zazu :)
Hi Fallen, you already know my list, but for those who don't
-Indy, my big beautiful black lab cross, he was given to us by a friend whose dog had puppies, he's now 13 years old and big lovey baby, I don't know what I'd do without him.
-Jasper, my border collie cross, we adopted him from the SPCA when he was 4 months old he's now 7, it took some time to get him out of his shell, he was such a poor little mite, but now he's our rambunctious trouble maker and we adore him.
-Cotton, my lion head dwarf bunny (my avatar), we bought him from a pet store, that was before we knew better (we only adopt from shelters now). He is 1 year old and a real sweetie.
-Thumper, my grey bunny, we adopted him from the SPCA, he had been relinquished twice because they thought he had a bad attitude, he is my cuddle bunny and a real sweetie.
-Oreo, my white and black bunny, our neighbors friend didn't want her anymore so we agreed to adopt her, she's a cat in a bunnies body, she loves to lay on my lap and watch TV. She's my cuddly baby.
-Marty, my cockatiel. Friends of ours bought her for their son and then discovered he was allergic. She's now learning to talk and is very tame. Love her so much.
-Goldie, our 27 cent gold fish that's 4 years old. What can I say, she's entertaining and always hungry.
We are going to be adopting another bunny in the spring, just have to find a place for the cage.
Oh I'm sorry, does someone want to see my baby... oh okay... twist me arm... :):)

I'm still trying to post some pictures, having a bit of trouble though, maybe later.
I hate cats. I don't trust them. Never have. They do dirty little things behind your back then sit on the TV staring at you thinking what a sucker you are. Besides that, there ain't nothing on this planet more foul that a cat's poo box. I can smell one a mile away. Anything that brings you a dead rat as a gift, is evil.
On the other hand, dogs are just too cool. I love them. Their first concern is their master. There is one dog I had years ago that I miss more than my wife at the time.
When was the last time you heard of a cat saving a persons life? A cat wants you to die so they can eat you. The bigger they get, the more they want to eat you.

I didn't know that you wrote country music, Mag.
Cats have taken over my basement and my bed. I have 5 (they have me) that were strays or adopted. Magprob is right, nothing in this world smells like a cat box! We have two boxes.
We have a dozen parrots. Half are from stores, half are rescues. They are so funny and sweet, smart-a$$ed, demanding and messy as can be. They have my living room as their own. We use the den as our living room, but it is crowded with perches. They like to hang out while we watch TV.
We have a Basenji, a hound breed from Africa. She is more like a cat than a dog, grooming herself, counter surfing, climbing and obeying commands only if she feels like it. She is a very cool, smart dog though, never barks. I must have needed a 'real' dog because we now have a Chihuahua. Yeah, nothing smells quite like a cat box, but dog poo is the worst I think. Dog poop rivals cat pee. Vinegar neutralizes both! Yes!
Thanks for the pictures everyone.
NOT TRUE... :mad: Cats are wonderful and they bring you things to show their love... awwwwwww, ohhhh awwwwww...Quote:

Several cats in the past, most adopted strays from the street, one from a shelter. Several would roll on their backs to have their tummies rubbed. :)
Paid for pure breds in the past, Boxer, Boston Terrier, Shelties, Weimaraner. Ex's collies.
Free from shelter, friends, or from the street - Blind golden retriever [ my ex worked at a vet's and brought "bumper' home one day ], border collie/lab mix, healer/aussie shepard mix, lab/ g Shepard mix.
I love cats and dogs. Cats are less maintenance, but dogs are definitely more affectionate, loyal, and protective. Never heard of a guard cat? Or a search and rescue cat ? :)
Hello fallen:
Hmmm. You want to find out about dogs and you learn about crotches instead. Ain't this a great web site, or what?
excon
Dog person, (seeing as I'm alergic to cats, which I'm sure has nothing to do with it), I have a golden cocker spaniel called jasper,
Nice albear, and hey, that is a sweet pic!
My monitor screen is all wet now.
Don't you just love that nose, all nice and drippy and wet and cold!!
God I laughed good at that. The ONLY cat I liked was several years ago, on xmas day brought me a dead mouse she had been hunting for a week... other then her I hate cats and agree whole heartedly with mag. Lol.Quote:

Dogs are companions, cats think WE are companions and pets. Stupid cats. >.<
