Any one have any Pets?
 
I don't know if such a thread has a precedent in these forums, but I'm missing my ferrets and wanted to talk about them.

Ferrets are great, if not a little smelly if you forget to clean them out. I've never had a pet that was so affectionate, loyal, and just plain happy to be near you. They're like a cross between a kitten and a puppy, for their whole lives!

Nope, it's not worked, missing them more now.

I've had guinea-pigs and rats in the past.

I really want a rabbit, but they're illegal here.

Mudokon_Master 01-26-2012 10:54 PM

I've got a dog for my 8th birthday. An Alaskan Malamute, in fact. He's pretty old now and I fear of his death.

Varrok 01-26-2012 11:42 PM

I have a dog as well - mixed breed, about 4 years now, but she's still full of energy : )

NyOe!s 01-27-2012 12:21 AM

My sister has a pet rat named Ponyo, my other sister has a blue tung lizard called slinky. Our family pets are a Chihuahua named ratty and then two cat's one named bear or plume and the other looks like a leopard so we called it toad!

Dynamithix 01-27-2012 12:41 AM

I myself haven't really had pets, but my dad has had two gerbils and three chinchillas. Currently he has a nice cat and it's really friendly too. If I'm laying on the sofa or sleeping, it usually comes and lays over my feet and starts snoring really loudly. It's kinda cute.

Nate 01-27-2012 01:05 AM

Why are you missing them, Glitch?


I currently have three aquatic snails. I keep intending to name them, but I can't really tell them apart so it's a bit redundant. One thing I have learnt is that they love carrot peel. You've never seen a snail zoom so fast.

Glitch 01-27-2012 01:42 AM

Had to leave them behind when I moved, looking to get a flat that will let us have them as soon as, but I'm not holding my breath.

Why can't you have pets Dynamithix?

Dynamithix 01-27-2012 01:58 AM

Huh? I could have pets, but I don't have any at the moment.

Totally read your first post wrong, sorry about that.

Chubfish 01-27-2012 03:21 AM

I have 3 dogs, of which 2 are whippets, but one of them was quite ill recently so we've been extra careful with her...

scrabface 01-27-2012 04:12 AM

I got a turtle when I was 10. so he's almost 15 now. his name's Charlie, but he doesn't suck balls.

Jordan 01-27-2012 04:17 AM

My family has two dogs, three rabbits, a hamster, a snake, and some fish in a pond.

Littleleeroy 01-27-2012 05:07 AM

I have a Labrador dog who is 7 this year. His name is Bullet :D
My sister has a Shiatsu-Maltese-Chihuahua named Patchie.
I don't think she has other animals at the moment (maybe a fish) but sometimes she has a rabbit or a guinea-pig. :D
I want a ferret now after my dog :fuzzle:

Crashpunk 01-27-2012 06:48 AM

About 20 diffrent types of fish in our rather big pond. Not really pets but I guess they could count.

Ridg3 01-27-2012 07:29 AM

I have two rabbits that I wish someone would come and take off our hands. I have a dog as well. It's bouncy and energetic and extremely fucking annoying, especially whenever we have guests over.

But as I said, ever since the dog came into the house the rabbits have been confined to their cage due to the dog's wish to claim them as her own children. She'd make a rough parent.

STM 01-27-2012 07:31 AM

I have a cat. And a basement dwelling child I keep chained to a table.

Havoc 01-27-2012 07:38 AM

I've got three cats, one is 16 and the two others (brother and sister) are 1,5. Pictures to come later.

they sound ace. i love aquatic snails. i love any type of snail, to be honest.

fucking ditto. we have two dogs, mother and pup, but the pup isn't a pup anymore. Shylo/Shylow/Shilo/Shilow or however her fucking name is spelt is the mother, and she's very docile and calm. she looks like a black, Welsh Sheepdog if anything, and the most visitors will get is a sniff in their direction.

Midge, on the other hand, is a little shit at times. he looks like a Collie/Labrador cross and acts like one, bouncing all over guests and doing the "wiggley-woo" as we call it which is when he gets overexcited and won't stop wagging his tail (which fucking hurts if you get in the way). he's lovely, but a handful.

we also have three rats. used to have four, but one died at the end of last year. probably post some pictures later.

and as i type this, Midge has just attacked yet another visitor. chaos, i tell you.

Nepsotic 01-27-2012 08:55 AM

a cat, named Pal (Don't ask), i love him to bits, he's about 6 now, a small rescued Westie, Called Olly, he's, i think, about 2 1/2 now, he's very energetic, and many fish, sooty, sweep, Flo (a frog), a pipefish called Willy (guess why), and a shebumbkin fish called Bastard.

Cheifanator 01-27-2012 09:09 AM

I have two dogs their Boxers, Jessie (commonly referred to as Bessie) and Luther.Jessie used to be a little bitch and growl or snap at any except my dad but now shes calm and Luther is a energetic little fella and wont miss a chance to sprint around my house.They can be a bit of a bother when it comes to cleaning out the back or buying food but I love them!

Hulaabeo 01-27-2012 09:13 AM

Oh my where to start? My family loves animals. .w.

We have a dog, a cat, a little more than 20 birds, a hampster, a pair of leopard geckos, an aquarium and a pond's worth of fish.

Bullet Magnet 01-27-2012 09:27 AM

A grey budgerigar is the last of a former menagerie.

NyOe!s 01-27-2012 11:25 AM

I've always wanted a smallish type of furry animal to wear as a hat or a scarf. Maybe I'll steal your ferret Glitch muhahahahaha!!!

JennyGenesis 01-27-2012 12:01 PM

I know a made a blog about my dog, but, it is appropriate to put in here.

MeechMunchie 01-27-2012 12:03 PM

My cat is on Facebook.

NyOe!s 01-27-2012 12:36 PM

That's a very cute dog. I want it!

BoneyHead95 01-27-2012 12:46 PM

We had cats, dogs but there all died. ):

Slog Bait 01-28-2012 01:22 AM

I have and have had a lot of pets. The ones that are still alive include 2 dogs (an Akita and a German Shepard/Rottweiler mix), 2 birds (both cockatiels), and a cornsnake. Unfortunately upon starting college I've been going back and forth between a few different places, I'm not sure which to call home... My dorms don't allow pets of any kind, so I've resorted to keeping plants.

So now I have a pet pumpkin. True story.

Noooo :(

DarkHoodness 01-28-2012 02:05 PM

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 a tokay gecko.Here are a few pics.He likes to nip on fingers XD

Haha <3 your gecko man, haven't seen it before. =)

moxco 01-28-2012 06:03 PM

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.

NyOe!s 01-28-2012 08:07 PM

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

skychase2rebirth 01-28-2012 10:11 PM

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.

OddYouko 02-06-2012 11:36 AM

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.

Disgruntled Intern 02-06-2012 11:59 AM

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:
