What kind of pets?



Recommended Posts

We have a Min-Pin named Dixie whos about 4 years old,2 cats-oe named Aspen(whos actually all black little white streak on her chest),and a mullllllllti colored cat(a "tortious shell",the nice name for this one lol) who we call Kitty. LOL. We also have a Ball Python named GoatLord. Hes 3 years old and about the size of a silver dollar. We have a beta too...but he doesnt have a name=)

My mom just got a kitten named Emily as well who is the CUTEST thing in the world! My best friend works at Petco,and for some reason people love to drop of animals they find-or just dont want anymore-instead of going to the MSPCA/SPCA. So she gets a lot of weird animals-Iguanas,fish,ferrits and even kittens.I told her,since she gets a lot of kitten, to look out for me since I wanted to get my mom a kittten(shs been devistated since our Maltese,Monroe,died about 1 1/2 years ago) & I knew it would be so good for her to have another pet-and not a dog. So soon after that someone dumped 4 kittens off in front of the store before they opened in a box with a note saying "cant take of these anymore" I dragged my mom down there & these 2 bonded instantly!! Since then Emily has been the most spoiled,loved cat Ive even seen! =) Doesnt that just make you all warm inside? Hehe :)

This is a fun thread!

We have a 7 yr old fat black lab mix named Buddy, a 6 mo old Daschund/Beagle mix name Sadie, a black and white tuxedo cat named Peppy, two parakeets - one is green named Petie, the other is blue named Tweetie and one Russian tortoise named Franklin.

The puppy is fun, but what a pain to get her trained. My hubby promised he would train her if we got her and it's yet to happen!

I have 4 puppies, 6 weeks old, dad is a Rottweiler. If anyone can tell me what kind of dog the mom is, I'd appreciate it.

Mom is Shy. Puppies are Blacky, Shoes, Socks & Spots.

Christi,

I think Shy is a beagle (or at least mostly). Interesting mix....Rott & Beagle.

Good Luck!

I love looking at all your pets! Its a shame I cant figure out how to post a pic. I have two cats, Katie (short for Katilin) who is brown tabby 2 y/o and Brandi whose nickname is porkchop because she is much too large in the midsection. Both our cats come from the humane society and are just the sweetest things on this earth. Love them both to peices!

Our baby is a male poodle, red with a white chinnagin, chest and a few white toes. I love dogs but DH is allergic. He always did well with a poodle my parents used to have so we gave it a shot and his only regret is not getting one sooner. I named him Mr. Hobbs.

We also have 330 gallons of saltwater reef tank.

Up until very recently we also had my ball python from when I was a kid (Juba) and an Abyssinian guinea pig (Rodman) that I gave to an old workplace, then took back once I saw how they were treating it.

I have a very cocky Pembroke Corgie, He is sable and white. We were able to aquire him in a rescue, papers included. He is a big dog stuck in a small body, But he is so cute you cant stay mad at him for very long..and he KNOWS IT. Today he wouldnt stop barking at a squirl and when I went to put himin his kennel He jumped up and kissed me, bugger. I dont know how animals do it but they can have us wrapped around their paw in no time. Im glad he can stand up to my sons, he keeps them in lline, He herds them!

I have four cats, and boy they are a handful!!! I have one male Manx, he's the prettiest of all of them...he has the marbled feet (Grey, black and white), his name is Junior and he is about 10 years old. I have a black kitty, she is like velvet she is so dark...I just love her! She is my only girl kitty (name: Lucky), I found her at the local JC underneath a car as a baby; she's about 5. I have two brothers that I saved from my own brother's family (bunch of nutsos!), one is yellow with dark yellow stripes (name: Tiger, aka: yellow and poopie, cause he can be such a poop towards Lucky) and his brother (Tigger) is dark grey with black stripes and a hint of yellow tint. I'd like to have more cats but my roomie says he'll kill me if I bring anymore home, though they tend to gravitate towards him than me and I am the one that saved all of them :ermm I love them all as they are my source of entertainment.

ickytazz, can I come and kiss all of those puppy faces? I just love the droopy lips and the teeth are just too much for me, I am in love. We are waiting for a pug, a dear friend has a male and his mom bought a female this summer, as soon as they are ready to breed, I have 1st choice. I care for their furbabies when they go on vacation so they are giving me choice. I can't wait. Like I said the thheth are just too much for me, I fall in love. ~Mandy

Hi everyone,

I have 2 dogs, both from the pound. Sammie is a Shepard/Chow mix (so they say) the the most friendliest dog. When we first got her at 16 weeks she hopped into a neighbors car to go for a ride. She will also go inside a strangers house and make herself at home. (I have to teach her about talking to strangers.) My other dog is a pitbull/wippet mix. She is very protective and loves the kids, and coffee and getting under the covers to sleep. I also have 5 ferrets: Ice, he's all white with pink eyes, and the oldest. Nikkie, Sable, Mingo and Cailin Kong because he is sooo fat. And we also have 3 surviving pond fish.

If I had farm I would have a lot more animals.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
