What Kind Of Pet Do You Have?
 

How about everyone listing what kind of pet they have now or have had?

I have been the proud parent of both dachshunds and basset hounds.

I now have two cats. One a Russian Blue and the other a Tabby cat. Over the years I always had cats. These are number 7 and 8. Also had a dog many years ago who had a cat as a play mate.

Always had cats and dogs for 40 years. Now just two tuxedo kitties.

We have a lady Dalmatian that is 5 years old.
She is our 4 the Dal over the years.

We have a rescue that we think is part Maltese & something else, don't know and don't care. He is just so darn love able & cute. His picture is in my avatar.

Ahhhhhh. He looks like a baby. Is he a lab?

Jake the Golden !

We have two cats that we adopted from pet smart when we moved down here. They are Moe and Molly. They are brother and sister.

We have 2 shelties, 3 and 5 years old. Had 2 shelties and a border collie in the past...absolutely love those herding dogs!

Presently have 1.5 cats (keeping one until friends move here permanently). Have always had dogs, usually big ones -- a Saint, Old English, Afghans, beagles, Westie, several mutts. Frequently had cats to go with the dogs. Also had a pet boa, guinea pig and whatever wild critters I could bring home.

Now, I'm lucky -- get to take care of some wonderful cats and dogs that I think are mine, too.

Lost my old 17 yr old Cocker recently & still have my 9 yr. old rescue Yorkie named "Pepper."
He's a cutie and I love him!

Check my avatar and you will see TC (Top Cat), 20 pounds of rescued love! Many many cats through the years, each one better than the last

We have a 5 year old Collie. She is #5. Always had the sable and white collies.

We have a pet camel named Jamal. We got him from the camel rescue organization in Okahumpka. He presents unusual challenges, but well worth the effort.

I've had Pomeranians for 47 years, never without one for longer than two months. I just got my fifth one, a male puppy, who is three months old and a handful.

We love Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

We are bringing down our goats because the lawn services can not seem to get rid of the damn weeds in the yard. Our goats will take care of that in just a few weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience to our neighbors.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww! Do tell the breed! Looks like a retriever?

We had 7 cats. Or was it 8. Never more than three at a time! Three goofy Siamese, the best orange and white cat ever, a black cat, a calico, a Siamese mix. All rescues. Then a golden, two canaries, and now a cockatiel and a golden. Numerous fish down through the years. One angel fish was really nasty. Oh, and a German shepherd dog rescue (briefly), and a Springer Spaniel rescue.

I'm still dreaming about the sweetest little rescue dog at PetsMart a month ago. He looked like a brown & black beagle but only about 12 lbs. The biggest eyes, and quiet. Hubs would have... well... We'd need a Suburban. I'm not allowed to go in there alone on the weekend.

My Abby is a Bichon Frise.

My Sammy is a tabby and on my lap now.

At one time we had a dog, 2 cats, cockatiel, gerbils and fish - all at the same time! Was like having a food chain of pets. Everyone died of natural causes....except Sammy, who's still on my lap.

We actually do not have a pet, however, our 9 year old Maltese has two adorable human pets that are very well trained and completely housebroken.

Currently have a rescue Cocker Spaniel, she is 7 1/2 yrs....love, love, love her. I do miss all my dogs that have past over the years and all we're rescues.

Charlie McGee is a Maltese!

We always said that we were the proud owners of a Pug named Chester.

Truth be told, he was the one that owned us. Chester gave us 12 years of love and devotion and some of the happiest moments in our family.

I have a darling ****z Tsu...he is 9 years old and is great company....doesn't like other dogs though...he's kind if a gremlin! But, I still love him!

I have a mini schnauzer. He is a good companion but not much of a watch dog. Every time there is any noise ( owl, coyote, thunder ) I watch him run under the bed to hide. I love my Little Tom !!!!

"Jake the golden" Rick said, what a cutie.

We've usually had two or three dogs at a time. Now we have just two dogs, due to Villages restrictions.
At one time I had three horses, two cats and four dogs, a full house. I miss those days.
Every pet I owned was unique and very much loved. I miss them, and they all have a special place in my heart.
When I pass over the rainbow bridge to the other side, I believe there will be a big crowd of dogs, cats and horses to welcome me home.

Maddie is an Aggie. She was rescued while my son was at Texas A&M.
She is almost 8 and is so friendly that we joke that if we ever get robbed, she would just greet the robbers and show them where the jewelry is. She loves everyone.

TWO PETS are allowed, I am told.


We have two cats. Harry is in charge of the lanai and keeping an eye on birds and geckos that may morph into dinosaur sized creatures and could attack us.

Hershey is in charge of supply management and keeps a constant eye on the refrigerator and the pantry and the clock and reminds us when it is time to prepare a meal...for HIM.

Mikey is my personal assistant and at this time is asleep on a towel next to my computer. Mikey monitors my shower, my cooking, my telephone conversations, my reading materials, reads all computer correspondence and accompanies me to the bathroom.


All both of them have to be ushered into their private room with the laundry machines when we have guests because they interrupt and pest on people until they are given copious attention.

Helene, Sweetie and I are their staff and we are doing the best that we can and every once in awhile we are pretty sure they are pleased.

We have what Hubby calls "used dogs". Adult Yorkie rescues. We are too old to do puppies, but when we need to get a dog, we have been fortunate to find adult Yorkies who need homes.

I'm with you, DG. I think my next one will have to be an older dog. Hopefully another golden, as they are my favorite. I know a couple, 70 & 72, who are going through the golden puppy stage after losing their fifth golden too early.
Just watching the videos of them cope with this puppy is wearing me out!

Might as well add my animals from younger years, too....many cats, ponies, horses, skunk. Family had a groundhog when I was little.

Two Polish Lowland Sheepdogs named Zeta and Zuni.

Do you have any more pictures of your dogs? Looks like an interesting breed.

Geee Oh ! Labrador:a040:

You win!:eclipsee_gold_cup:

Your description of your two cats made me smile!! They remind me of my two cats. In my case--

Torie is the "purr"fect cat and is 9 years old. She is a beautiful black and white cat. You can do anything to Torie and she doesn't care -- just so she is with you! She is my personal assistant. She is by my side when I'm on the computer, on top of the paper when I'm trying to read it and on my lap when I sit down! She patiently sits and waits for her meals.

Kaylee just turned 3 and our petsitter calls her a "tornado on 4 legs"! She is tortoiseshell on her back and has a calico belly! So Cute! She is into everything and tries to eat her cat food as it comes out of the can! The funny thing is my Mom didn't want a 2nd cat and Kaylee is her baby!!

I adopted Torie when she was 4 months old and my late father was in a nursing home. She went to the nursing home almost every day. The attendants grabbed her as we came in the door and took her to several patient's rooms and then finally to Dad's room. She loves to be on the kitchen counters and I blame that on the fact that we weren't home a lot in those days! I have tried everything to break this habit but nothing has worked!

I was raised on a farm and we had lots of farm animals. We had barn cats but you couldn't touch them! We also had dogs. In fact, my Dad raised Boston Terriers and they put me through college! We also had a cocker spaniel that was the best outfielder! What can I say, I was raised in the country and we there wasn't enough neighborhood kids to make up a team! But, we had a ball!

I switched to cats when I moved to the DC area. I worked too many hours to have a dog. Torie and Kaylee are my 3rd and 4th cats that are tuly a member of our household.

That is a lovely, lovely story, Sable. You should write a memoir.
