Pets...what do you have?

[unholy1971]

Yes, I have two pugs.

 I have a pet betta. His name is Peppers. I've had him about 2 years, and since he has no choice but to put up with me, I feel sorry for him. I've also been feeding wild birds for years. Some of my fondest memories are the ones of standing by my mother's wheelchair and watching the cardinals and chickadees flitting around the window. It was one of the few activities she could enjoy. I still hear the cardinal bringing out the morning, and see his silhouette on the blinds throughout the day, and those are the things that mean so much. It's amazing how much life exists in your yard.

Introducing my dog of 10 years, The Bodhi Sattva.



I have a cat, too. His name is El Guapo. However, he is much too elusive to capture in a photograph.

We had Riley, an Airedale, for 11 years. He had to be put to sleep on Tuesday. It's been a horrible week. 

I'm sorry to hear that. It is never easy

I have one dog named Kuma. He's kind of a mutt and the best we can tell he's half Akita and half Husky. He is very pretty about 3/4's of the year but in the spring when he's shedding he looks like he is diseased.

And my boys have a goldfish, used to have two but one day one was...well, he seemed to have learned how to back float. So we had a ceremonial flushing in the bathroom. No matter how you take care of them just seems that some WalMart gold fish aren't long for this world.

Well done for doing that right thing. Been there, done that, horrible to have to do.

An elephantine one, I suppose... Irish Wolfhound? 

[DeterminedJuliet]

I'd love to get a Greyhound. Or a Whippet.

But my "dream" dog is a Leonberger.

Since I come from a family of alergics, pets have not really been an option.

She's 1/2 Sheltie 1/2....errr....something else.  I can't remember!  I know that they're small and curly, but not poodles.  Anyway, she's really sweet and great with our kid.

Haha about the elephantine nature of our dog.  She's actually only about 20 lbs, but my husband has a thing about naming dogs after other animals (our other dog was a Border Collie named Mouse.)

Runfrommylife - Huge hugs!  Putting down our Border Collie (Mouse) was just terrible.  You know it's the right thing to do to end their suffering, but it's absolutely gut wrenching to lose them.
