Thread: Tell me about your pet(s)

I know those puppies will be little terrors. That breed of dog is hyper and loves chewing and diggine. Hopefully they will inherit some of their mother's docile and sweet temperment. *prays they will*

Wow, that's lucky another Jack Russell got to her first! The parents temperments play a big role on how the pups temperments will be. It's good the dam is very sweet. Do you know anything about the sire?

Me and my girlfriend are concerned because everytime we take Max (her labrador) out for a walk, people coming up to stroke him always say 'awww I used to have a dog'. In our minds, the word 'used' stands out and we always wonder what happened to their dogs!

*shrug* it got old and died? There are plenty of reasons why people don't get another dog after their previous ones pass. Dogs are a lot of work, much more than cats, and since more people travel for business and work long hours, it's just not fair to have a dog with a schedule like that. My mom and stepdad are good examples of that - they both work 12-14 hour days, and my mom has said that when something happens to their 13 year old golden retriever, that they won't be getting another dog.

Lucky yeah, I was fearing a larger dog had gotten her before the little one had and that there'd be complications during the delivery. She was HUGE those last couple of weeks, poor thing could barely walk around.
The father, he lives about a 15 minute walk from here and he occasionally escapes and roams the neighborhood. That's all I know about him. My male jack, Mojo, used to do the same, he'd roll around on his back until the latch on his harness popped open and he'd be off like a bullet. I had to send him somewhere with more room for him to roam. Darn male dogs..haha. There was another smaller Jack down the street from here named Gordie that would climb over the chainlink fence and roam around too. Determined and smart little fur balls those dogs are.

Your dog is gorgeous Burns. I'd wanted a Doberman when I was younger. They're nice looking dogs. Can't believe your's is that big already!! And he's still a puppy. He'll outgrow that pool soon and then you'll have it all to yourself.

I just saw your pics this evening, Burns! Red is a handsome lil man and will be an impressive adult. He reminds me a lot of my mom's dobie, Zia. Good luck with the OB classes, too. Are you planning to show him?

heh yeah, too bad he thinks he's a lap dog. Always wants to be sitting ON you when you're on the floor. Thankfully he's not allowed on the furniture or bed!

Thanks, EagleEye! Nope, not showing or breeding him. We wanted a pet only. And even if we wanted to, we couldn't - he's cryptorchid (only 1 testicle descended)... He's gonna lose 'em sooner rather than later anyway

2 kitties - Bart and Lisa - Brother and sister - no images
And 2 goldfish, which have been alive for about 17 years now, by all rights they should be dead by now xD

aww Bart and Lisa - awesome names

I think your goldfish might break some world record o_O lol

Lmao, thanks, i think so too
The cats even resemble the cartoon characters, Bart is as dumb as hell and Lisa is the smart one xD

I've been in the picture taking mood lately Here are some recent pics of Cloud and Titus, both 4 years old, and Red XIII, 7 months old.


Cloud being mouthy.




and being cute, too bad its out of focus




Titus checking out the new screened in deck.




and sitting in one of the chairs.




Red, Titus and Cloud.

Thanks, Michael! Of course, I have to agree that Titus is awesome-looking, and he's the only mutt out of the three, lol. He's got quite the personality too, he actually begs me to brush their teeth before bed! hehe they are trained well.

Oooh another pet thread!
And Burns, I am simply in love with your Titus.
Cloud and Red are looking adorable as usual.

Thanks, Xox I started this thread awhile back and like to add to it every now and again. I've been taking lots of pictures lately (mostly of my pets) and enjoy sharing them.

I love that everyone loves Titus! Here are a couple more pics of him:

Your cat has humongous whiskers ...

The first pic of Titus in the second post looks like he's doing his business

haah, no believe me, you'd be able to smell it if he was

Your pets are so damn cute Burns

Ooh Burns, that must be really nice for the cats to get some fresh air but stay completely out of harm's way at the same time! I'm going to do something similar when I own my first cat (as opposed to the "family" cat we have now.. though I would like to clarify that he is still ALL MINE! ).

Hmmmm, personally, i like llamas.

Though, i mean, have any of you actually tried looking after one?

I mean, they are just into it. Totally affectionate.

First date: Full tongue; oh, and what's that stuff, they spit it in your eyes?

I understand now, what grandma meant about being love blind.
Smart lady, this shit stings.

Though.. i could never imagine grandpa....

Sorry, I have no pet but I found this adorable pet pictures video and can't find any better place for it. It's just too cute. I hope it's not already been linked to somewhere.

Thanks Adam and Mes

GH, that video is adorable

Some people have already seen this, but I figured I'd post it here too, just for fun It's a video of Red and Titus playing (kinda).

Lol, that video is so cute Burns... and GH's is just over the limit of cuteness.

Have Titus and Red got past that awkward stage now? oh and what does 'no zoomies' mean?
