Getting to know you, through your pet or critter. ( Archived) (98)

hopefloats: Another good thread sir!
While I no longer have any pets, I do miss the ones I had. Needless to say, if we ever move out of this apartment complex we'll probably have a dog.

Tnpseudonym: I don't keep pets.

they adopt me.
i've always seemed to have a minagerie around me where ever i live.

gooddogman: That would make a good name for a cat, Onion Dip ....if you had two cats you could call the other one, Tater Chip....

heidi2765: I have always had pets, even though I have moved quite a lot they have always come with me, the one stable in my son's and my life. They are great companions and teachers...I found that the fact of having pets about the house taught my son(AN ONLY CHILD)to share and care for others. We had very special pets a cat that his dead father gave him and a rescued Gordon Setter, both of them died at an old age but far too soon.
Now we have two siamese cats and our puppy, a french bulldog, life is just not the same without pets.
Anybody who wants to join our little family will have to love and accept the fact that we are animal crazy.
Knowing the pros and cons of animal keeping and caring, my son is starting to study vet medicine now.

Kristine1: I once had a Chihuahua named Tater tot

gooddogman: Amimals are great teachers. I grew up in a lets say, not ordinary world for a child. My dogs got me through some tough times, they protected me where ever I went. We hunted and fished together...When I played base ball, alone, Rusty would be my out fielder and he would find the ball know matter how hard I would hit it, He would bring it back to me to hit again. I never needed a invisable friend I had Rusty.... I love the french bulldog what beatiful ears he has almost as big as mine (if Good friend reads this)...lolGood luck to your son we need good vets. Please Spay and Neuter.and.Adopt...

jessejess47: I have a fish tank and I named all of the fish like Nemo,Finny , Gilly ect. But I stopped that tho cause they never come when I Call them....

Raven0: I have a kitten and a rabbit.
The kitty's only about 5 months old now, she will only snuggle with me, and only lets me pick her up. She bites or scratches anyone else.
The rabbit is an albino netherland dwarf. He's going to turn 10 years old in december.
Supposedly those bunnies only live 5-7 years.
I guess I treat them well enough, they act as though I mean something more than food lady and ear scratcher

Kristine1: one of the best dogs I had was Tonka, got him as a rescue animal from the shelter, his time was almost up and fixin to be put down, he was a very large german shepard, huskie and wolf mix and 9 years old with heart worms, they told me he would probably have maybe a year or two left and so I took him home where he put on weight but never regrew the bald strip of fur missing from around his neck where the previous owners had him tied up and the neck grew around the collar. He lived for 6 more years, and this "untrainable dog" was a great compainion for me and my daughter.
