What kind of pets?

I know most people who have pets like to brag them up, so here is your opportunity.

DH and I are owned by a 1 year old AKC registered Red and White Basset Hound named Ethan James. We also have a 9 year old Black Labrador named Harley who lives in Michigan with my folks. He was raised on the farm and will remain there. Now please share your stories.

An absolutely spoiled rotten Siamese named Niele allows me to live in the house with her. Niele's name is Hawaiian and means inquisitive. She is definitely that. When I got her she weighed 3/4 of a pound. I've owned Siamese all my life and they are incredible creatures. I had my last one for 20 years.

Two older Himilayan Kitties, one girl and one boy. Missy and BJ

A two year old Chihuahua - Sadie Rose

I love all animals, except maybe for snakes and rats, they're really low on my list of animals that I could even cope with. I even like lizards, they're kinda neat, but I don't have one, only live in a one bedroom condo. Any more pets and I'd have to find another place to live:-]

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We have a Boxer named Casey, who thinks he is our other son, 3 cats named Puddy, Urtha(my hubby has a crush on the Urtha Kitt), and Magic and last but not least, we have two aquatic turtles whom I just call the turtleboys. Here is a picture of spoiled boy, Casey.

I have one sheltie mix Dog named Gypsy. Two black cats Charlie and Lucifer. A turtle and some fish.

I work at a vet clinic and we have four pet cats there too.

BEAGLES! I grew up with a beagle who lived to be 16. I adopted a beagle (Buddy) when he was 1 year old who had been severly abused by previous owners (they wanted him to be "agressive" - so NOT beagle behavior), then another (Zoe) and then another (Maggie)!

I gave the middle one (Zoe) to my mother-in-law just after getting her so that MIL wouldn't be alone, and I just lost my precious Buddy in August to Valley Fever (common in Arizona) that attacked his brain after 10 fantastic years with him. Maggie is Fat, Dumb and Happy.

I can't bear the thought of losing another pet (I also had 2 cats along the way) so as of now she is the only pet. I also foster beagles and find them a loving forever home.

I can't figure out how to attach pics of Buddy and Maggie but they are both tri color, classic looking (georgous!) dogs.

ps - I am down 35 pounds now since being banded 9/19/05 and down 7% body fat (2 fills)! Happy thanksgiving everyone!

My little furball is Angel, an 18 month miniature (she's about 10 pounds) smooth haired dachshund. Contrary to what I've read and what people have told me (about doxies being so stubborn and hard to train), she is very well behaved and is wonderful therapy. I got her when she was 2 months old...just before both my sons were heading off to college and I was going to be alone for the first time in my life.

I've attached a picture of Angel (the black and tan one in front) and her sometimes stay over buddy (my sister's red doxie/chihuaha mix) Dot.com or Dottie.

I have a big white kitty named "Kitty Kitty"--my son (age 2 at the time) named him and we are so unoriginal, it stuck.

He is an Olympic level napper and doesn't like the sun in his eyes. Poor spoiled thing!homehalloween010.jpg

Hi, everyone! This is my first post so it must be that I LOVE my 1-1/2 year old beagle, Toby! He is AWESOME and is such an individual and fun to be around. I look forward to my time with him every day. We got him when he was 6 weeks and he is sooooo spoiled. Right now my 13 year old daughter is giving him peaches - YUM!

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 :)
