Well since we need to get to know you better.... introduce your critters here, pics would be cool too.  I'll be happy to start this off with the remaining members of my herd, warning.... I'm an animal person, I only have rescues, well not all the chickens are rescues, I hatched most of them here  :D

Dogs:

Iguana..... Coooool :eek:
So are they the fancy rats?

I'm working on fixing Nod..... his pic is too big and I'm just not in the mood to resize at the moment, maybe tomorrow?


On a side note..... after a rather interesting vet visit today, Tesla is now wearing a support splint on her passenger side hind leg for the next 3 weeks.  She is not happy with the cone of shame either, terrified of it actually.  She decided to pull a few tendons and they aren't healing up as well as we had hoped so she now has tendinitis.  

Quote from: "KDbeads"So are they the fancy rats?

They are... Evil. 2.0 bites too. *proud emoticon*

I can't believe there isn't a thread for pet pictures! I did search for one but couldn't find one. I'm sure this thread will get merged into it if one of 'The Old Gang' can remember it

Aww, she's got an underbite.

She most definitely does! She's quite a character.

This is my Goldendoodle Gusto (we call him Gus usually). He's only 4.5 months old and already 40 lbs. He's gonna be a big guy.

That's worrysome... has anyone else had that problem? I thought ImageShack was fairly bog-standard. Unless there's a virus on my PC (though I don't think that's likely) and it got.. into.. the video somehow? Or have I just made myself look very stupid? I'm totally clueless with this stuff. When it comes to IT, I might as well have been in prison for the last thirty years.

I didn't have that problem.

This thread needs more cat representation.

This is Spot. He just turned 15 last month. He is stubborn and ornery, but he likes to cuddle when it's on his terms. He is missing one of his top fangs, so his lip gets stuck on the bottom fang a lot. This, paired with his crooked eye from a fight with a neighborhood stray, makes him look really goofy.

This is Fifi. She is 16, and will only drink her water from the bathroom sink. She's too old to jump up there herself anymore, so she just sits in the bathroom and howls until somebody lifts her up. Her favorite hobbies include doing everything she's not supposed to do.

I guess I should update my list...........

We were forced to put Tesla down last week due to an ACL blowout and subsequent spinal damage in less than 24 hours of diagnosis.  It was hell for a few days here but it was choice that had to be made.
In the 7 days since she lost her bonded buddy Curie has not been the same, I haven't been able to sleep due to the constant howling, barking, moaning, groaning, whimpering etal.........  She really didn't take it well at all which made it even worse for me since Tesla was my dog.
So today, after talking with several of my rescue insiders I drove 6.5 hours round trip and a whole tank of gas to pick up a rescue that needed a place to go ASAP.  A puppy mill breeder brought in with several other breeders and a bunch of studs.  She was the last female on the list and had been in the shelter over a month.

It's been quiet since I put her in the truck with Curie at 2 pm.  Not a whimper out of Curie all day since and right now, there is NO howling or barking. :yay:

So the little miracle doggy?
Meet Ada (after Ada Yonath), she'll be officially retired from breeding on Wednesday, the earliest we could get her in for a spay.  She is a pure breed basset, just really tiny.
