It's great when I see a random photo of someone's pet in their tank Journal, or their Avatar or posted anywhere else.
So, let's share our pets! Dog, Cat, favorite fish, lizard, spider...if it's your pet post it here! Mulitple pets and can't choose between them? Share them all
We had a raccoon when I was a kid. Found him as a kit when his mom got hit by a car. Mostly he lived in our tree house, but he did like to raid the kitchen! He wasn't a great pet, but he was highly entertaining (at least to us kids, not sure mom felt the same way). The woodchuck a friend of mine had in college was a lot nicer. He was super friendly and liked to snuggle up on the couch. Possum was worse. Always hissing and skulking about.
Aside from the fish and shrimp, I have nothing exotic anymore. Just a BIG dog:
This thread is making me sooo happy roud: Racoons, Lizards, cats, lil dogs, big dogs...lovin it! Where's the folks with the birds, amphibians and spiders? (not a fan of spiders personally...but some people love them!)
@ Barbgirl
how old is your little kitten? So tiny. Nice horses! It's great the black one ended up with you. What an adorable dog too!
@ NWA Planted
Awe, that's so sad. How long has it been?
I have a some cats now that I love dearly...but...even after nearly 6 years since the loss of my "Lo-Kal-Kitty" I sometimes find myself with a lake in my eyes. I've never been able to make a connection with another pet like I had with him. He died at only 10 years old. I took a trip back home and after being gone for 4 weeks, found out he had laid in the windowsill day after day, night after night peering outside where he would meet me after work everyday. Then he quit eating 6 days after I left...and then he just shut down. He layed in my spot on the bed and wouldn't leave except to use the cat box. No one thought to tell me...I would have been on a flight back in a heart beat if I had only known he was suffereing seperation anxiety. He stayed in the vet hospital hooked up to feeding tubes for a bit, but succumed after 2 days to liver failure.
This is Kevin. My fiances Rainbow Lorikeet. He was found by some friends when he was still a chick...too weak to even eat. He is now such a lovely affectionate bird who loves to ride around on our shoulders and come with us down to the beach
And our cat Jyro. We got him from some family who didn't want the responsibility and were going to take him to a shelter He is a great cat. Very zanny and playful but doesn't like to be left alone.
And of course this isn't my pet but once a week I do volunteer work at a nearby marine bird and turtle hospital. It's one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. This is a pic I took a few days ago of one of the green sea turtles I just wanted to share...sorry for bad phone camera image
Thank you That was my first post and I got a bit trigger happy and sent it as a test without writing about him. Shame on me. Its now edited and with more pictures
I had to post this pic.
This is my all time favorite picture of my cats back when my kids were young and cute, now my son is 6' 6" !!!.
The trick is to start when they are kittens and pick them up as they wake up! View attachment 58091
Our dog, he owns this chair! this is his favorite place to relax, sometimes he puts one paw on the table while he lays in this chair, doesn't seem comfortable, but this is what he likes. He is an a adoption came with the name "askem"
Here are a couple of pics of my 5 month old Russian Blue. He is my first pedigreed pet. Alexei has a great personality. I couldn't be happier with him .
The blue one is Stella and she is 6.5. Oaky is the blue brindle and he is 8.5. Oaky presently has cancer but it hasn't metastasized yet so please add him to your prayers!
Tzu Tzu... Fantastic cat. Has more personality than any other cat I've ever had. Wish I knew what kid of cat he was. LOL!
And good Ol' Moose. Our youngest "child" is no longer with us due to a golden spirit and a chrome bumper... He was the best.
