tell us about your pets

i have a boxer named scooby [compliments of the rescuer] but we call him gobber doobie scoobs etc., he was the runt of the litter, had a broken leg at an early age so he still has a scar on his right leg from the iv, when the "boxed" his ears, they took one of the bandages off early so one ear is boxed and the other just flops on to his head!! its too funny. he does this jump twitch looking thing where he curls his budy and hops like a bunny, when we have parties and are in our circle or dancing etc, he gets right in there and sits like a human, he does this thing where he'll put his paws on your thighs and get right in your face but look to the side hahah ai love my dog.. my mom lets him curl up on her lap with a blanket and hes scared as hell of thunder.. i've lost 3 other dogs in my life due to the fact that all the pure bread's we've had, had health problems.. i'll be crushed when i loose my goober...

"She has a weird habit of pulling the hair off of her butt right in front of her tail and off of her back legs. We give her flea treatments but she still does it....I think it's a nervous habit. Anyway, she's my beautiful bald butt and legs baby!"

stress at a young age... that's what the vet tells me. my friend has a cat with the same problem because she lost her mother at such a young age. this can be attributed to any traumatic experience so yeah. we just call her kitty "naked butt cat"

As for my animals, I have two cats right now. Walker, who's about 7 years old and is a white turkish angora who was adopted clinging on to life (the sis and i nursed him back to health). He's stupider than a box of rocks but loves EVERYONE and plastic to death. MY kitty, Chihiro (pronounced Chi {not as in chi-chi's}-here-oh) was a replacement for my last friend kitty. We found her at a shelter and she was also having quite a few problems, so nobody would adopt her. She's one of those black and white tuxedo type cats, but you cant see any white if she's being lazy. She's also dumber than a box of rocks, but her and my the dog tend to work together to tip over the trashcans. The last and oldest animal would be Dusty. He's 13 years old and pee's all over the place. Cocker Spaniels dont like to be that old I suppose. He used to be smart but lost hearing in both ears and has really bad vision. Poor puppy. Ok. Enough of my longwinded descriptions of my animals. I just love them a LOT

as in spirited away's chihiro? good movie =]

boku no neko namae wa fuku desu. my cat's name is fuku. one night at work, i walked out to my car to get something, and i heard a faint 'meow' coming from someone's engine compartment. i started to call the kitten, but she was being very shy. eventually i acted like i was walking away and she pursued me. then i turned around and grabbed her. my workplace happens to be a foreign trade zone for japan so i gave her a japanese name. fuku means happiness and luck in japanese.

i also have a cat named mr.whiskers, but he's been adopted by an older lady down the street. she loves him so much, she asked me not to keep him inside. he's in good hands, and i still visit every now and then.

I have a dog (golden retriever and spitz mix) named Sprocket we named him after Doc’s dog on Fraggle Rock if anyone remembers that show. He was hanging around a campground we were camping at one fall. The campground officer loaded him into his truck and was going to get rid of him so we ask if we could take him with us, that was five years ago. We often call him Don Quixote because he chases phantoms in our back yard. I mean just out of the blue he’ll start barking and fly off after nothing –just wants attention or brain tumor – I don’t know. Even though he’s sometimes a little unstable (I have a couple uncles like that) he’s family and we love him.

We have 2 cats..both mostly black..Maggie is 2 and Lucy is 7 months. Lucy has lots of "splaining to do".
Maggie is teaching her to be a good mountain cat and climb trees to get away from coyotes.
I will get another dog in July or August. I had to put my 11 year old lab mix Denali, down in December. She was an avalanche rescue dog and loved to ride on snowmobilies and the chair lift. I am finally not expecting her to meet me when I come home.. She was the first animal I have had cremated and some of her ashes are spread at the mountain where she worked.

I've had animals my entire life. There is only the one cat where I live now. Paprika, she was a stray that was hanging around the house when we moved in, So Bridget (a roomate) and I got nice with her and now she live inside with the four of us. She a nut and a half though. Like most cats.

At my parents house there are two cats and two dogs and a bunch of parrots. Morgan and Maggie are the two dogs, neither one of them has the sense god gave a brick but I love them to death, I like going over the house and playing with them in the yard.

Sweetie is a gray and white FAT cat, I found her under the dumpster about 6 years ago at work. My boss at the time comes in and asks me to look at this cat outside. Her insides were hanging out. So we called the SPCA and told them. For three days I called and they ingored me so I took her home, took her to the vet to find out she had been shot with a .22. The bullet shattered off her ribs and she had a limp, there were several pellets and bbs inside her. For the first year we'd find them as they worked there way out of her. She thinks she's a dog. She'll jump up into your lap and force you to pet her.

Whiskey is my spoiled rotten cat. My ex gave her to me for christmas after my African Grey died. She's so rotten. When I was at my apt she'd jump in the shower in the morning. Ever try to take a bath with a cat licking your forehead?

I have a cat... PRINCE CASPIAN (just call him Caspian though). ;D

2 dogs:

Gunnar, a doberman/german-shep mix & Louie, a beagle mix

Both pound rescued.

Got a cat, Willie, from the pound when he was a tiny baby. Four years old already. He's still sure he's a kitten. Actually, he just caught his very first mouse a couple of weeks ago. I'm so proud!! (He's been a terrible wuss up to this point.)

Also, got a 33 gallon aquarium. Gouramis, angelfish, danios, and a honkin' big pleco to name just a few.

I am definetly an animal lover, and am especially obsessed with cats. I have actually been a lurker on this board for a couple of weeks and finally registered so that I could post on this thread. My pets are limited right now, but I have three cats. They were all strays that I started feeding and then adopted, or were given to me by friends that couldnt keep them. And yes, they do have mind control over me.

2 kittie cats, same litter, first and last born. 1 year old. Names are Mika and Veronica.

;D

Do you get to visit? ???

Shady is our cats name... the best Shady Lady in town!
