To quote the last time this topic was brought up, since what I said is still valid:

:

2 dogs. 2 cats. Excellent companions, but unremarkable, even though one of the cats is incredibly clingy to me for some reason - But I'm not complaining.

As a more "exotic" pet, we also own an old goat who we feed our veggie and fruit scraps to, but he doesn't get on with other goats (even though he gets on with the dogs) and he has no other companionship, which is bad if you're a herd animal, so we have to take him out for a walk every day to give him some social contact. He'll follow you without a lead and comes when called, but he'll eat any greenery he can find (including from people's gardens, much to my annoyance) and is generally disobedient.

Here's a couple of pictures of my aforementioned clingy cat (named Friday) that I posted earlier too, and lately he's been really ill, but he is 14 and nearly at the end of his life span. Me and him are close, and no matter how often he irritates the shit out of me, I'll really miss him a lot when he finally pops his tiny furry clogs, but that's just the way things are I guess.

My sister loves ferrets.

I myself once had some hermit crabs. They were remarkably sweet. I couldn't bring them along with me to Denmark. The airlines would not have allowed that, and I doubt a shipride across the atlantic would have suited them, so I gave them to another hermit crab owner.

My sister has had some surprisingly intelligent dwarf hamsters. They seem to be able to escape from nearly every single cage we've tried to put them in. They know exactly where the food is, and head straight for it as soon as they escape. Either that, or my sister's security is extremely lax.

I suppose I have two rabbits as well, but those are less mine and more the rest of my family's. I do love them though. One of them is a gentle, giant, jet-black (in the winter anyway) rabbit, and the other is a smaller, feisty, bouncy with nearly the same color as DarkHood's cat, and a pair of very floppy ears. The surprising thing is that everyone who breeds rabbits claims you cannot keep two male rabbits in the same enclosure. These two are male, and live in the same space, and yet I have never seen them fight, or seen any evidence of them fighting at all.

I have two guinea pigs. One is seven years old - so she's already outlived the average bloodhound, but she has a golf-ball sized cyst on each ovary as well as breathing problems so I don't suppose she'll be around much longer. The other one is about four-and-a-half.

Guinea pigs really are amazing animals, they can identify the sound of the crisper opening and vegetables being cut - which causes them to break out in a frenzy of squeaks.

Nice I love guinea pigs too. Now that I think of it we used to have two guinea pigs and 11 hermit crabs.

I have a wonderful dog, she's 12 now, some teeth missing but still awesome. I hardly accept that she won't/can't live forever...

If there were no collar on that dog I wouldn't have guessed where it's head was.

Hope it's alright that I bump this thread back up. ^^;

That's an awesome gecko, Scraby.

@DarkHoodness: I love the look Friday is giving in the first picture. Cute~

I've got it on my profile info that I have a black cat named Abe. Yes, it's true of course. He's about.. oh three-four years old now. I find it funny that he, ironically, likes to escape out of the house to roam freely outside. Just like how Abe tries to escape Rupture Farms. =l

He doesn't like to show me a lot of affection, but he does have his moments where he'll just come up to me when I'm playing a game or watching tv.

So many great pictures, jealous of that Tokay. I've wanted one for years but I can only ever find parasite ridden wild caught specimens for sale. All of the captive bred tokays I've come across have been designer color morphs and way more money than I'm willing to spend on such a common species.

We currently have a young pit bull named Marty Feldman:

and our new rabbit Fiona that we got after our old Bun Pinto died on Christmas eve. She's a 14 week old Flemish Giant, which is one of the largest rabbit breeds. Both of her parents weighed over 15 lbs:

Nice bunny ya have there ;)
Hmm you could try out some pet stores and ask if they can order you a normal captive bred gecko,thats what I did to get this finger nipper XD
They are quite nice pets,you dont need to clean much,you just need to water their tank each day with destilled water,and give em fresh water daily.It does cost to buy one,I spent about 1.350 kn on the complete set.The gecko I have has somekind of hatered towards these temp and moisture bars,he keeps knocking them down on purpose,when he came in afther few weeks he would just stare at the bars probably thinking how to knock em over,then he would climb on them till they fall off.
Thx Stm :)

other nicknames include Silky, Seal-Head and Shrimp-Ears, to name a few.

this is the only half-decent picture i have of the mother, Shilo (whatever), unfortunately.

DAZDOUG 02-07-2012 01:18 PM

As much as id want a pet ive had to live my whole life so far with no pets I'll defiantly be getting one when I have my own house.

Scraby 02-08-2012 12:56 PM

Said guinea pig died last night. Last time one of our guinea pigs died the vet implied it was due to our neglect which made me feel really fucking depressed. For some reason with this one, I just felt satisfied that she lived a long and happy life; just two days before she died she was happily running around and was eating well.

The gayly named Poppy is my household dog. Her favorite activities include climbing on the furniture, pissing in the kitchen, barking at the neighbors and beating me up. Love the shit out of her though.
