Are you a pet parent?

[akingsley9000]

oh yeah they are thrilled. She's getting better about it but its still going to be a while before they stop running from her. They have learned that there is places she can't get to them like the top of the couch and they know if they are sitting with me they are safe so they try o keep their distance.

I'm the proud parent to 2 Aussies,5 cats, and 4 horses.

 

[jj2]

jopo you are kept busy just in general maintenance.

 

[jopo]

I'm really good at managing sh**!

1) Emily, 17 year-old cat, hates all subsequent rescued siblings, panics if sees bottom of food bowl, purrs like a Briggs and Stratton.
2) Olivia, 10 year-old cat, has severe sociopathic tendencies (from which I bear many scars), love her anyway.
3) Casey, 6 year-old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, has the heart of a lion, loves everyone except Emily, snores like fat old man.
4) Walter, 3 year-old Chihuahua, suffers from identity disorder (thinks he's a Rottweiler), incorrigible cat food thief.

All rescues, all rotten, all my heart.

Snarky, youre a fellow chihuahua owner to!!! I jave two of the "rats" Ben(brown and white) is my fiance's. I tell her all the time that he sucks, but she reminds me that she's had him longer than me, so therfor I suck. Oliver (black and white) is my little buddy. I love this dog so much it's rediculous. I can't help but smile when he's around. It is kinda funny seeing me(all 6'6" 240lbs) walking him down the road though .

5 cats, rescues, 3 hermit crabs, 1 parakeet, 3 bettas, 2 fancy goldfish, 2 cory catfish, 1 hamster. Animal care takes a bit of time around here! But its worth it

Red, they're both precious, and I like the way your fiancee thinks.

Olivia actually started out as Oliver until her 6th trip to the vet when they finally figured out she was a girl. Found her on the side of the road after her mother had been hit by a car. She was so very tiny. Now she's an 18 lb terror. Amazing how they can turn this anti-social, introverted recluse into a big ol' marshmallow.

Same here I have 2 dogs, 4 cats (all rescue), 4 good size aquariums, few zebra finches, 2 rescued starlings (they are tame and can talk ), fantail pigeon, also geese, chickens and cows (some are pets too )

 

[scheherezade]

And I thought I was the only one that had a rescued bird. Our parakeet was blowing across the parking lot in the apartments we used to live in when she was little. Apparantly I'm not the only one with a "sucker" sign in the window that only animals can see.

One cat and one dog here.

My dog rusty after his last operation

My cat Ozzy passed out after a Salmon dinner.

 

[ejoker]

cripes, what did rusty have done?

 

[jj2]

Hope Rusty recovers w/no complications!
When Buddie had stitches, we had to keep the lamp shade on her.

 

[akingsley9000]

Aww poor Rusty

And Ozzy looks absolutely miserable - hahaha

 

[Java_Az]

Yeah he is good now that's a bit of a older picture but the only one i had on this PC. He had a Tumor removed. 3rd one now all cancer. I have a lamp shade for him but he could not lick that wound for quite awhile after that so i didnt use it right away. He was pretty sore after that operation.

I have two cats and one puppy that "own me". My two cats are name Keaton and Little Girl and My puppys name is grettle. Little Girl has suffered from rinosinusitis since I have owned her. She was born underneath a house with lots of dirt and dust and this caused this. Luckily we rescued her and she is in great health now. Every now and then she has flares. I noticed that when I smoked cigarettes (outside) and came in smelling like them it really affected her allergies. She wouldn't even come within five feet of me if I smelled of cigarettes. I have found that vaping in my house does not phase her at all. She doesn't have as many flares now and she will lay on my while I am vaping. It's sad when my cat even hated my analogs.

I have a 13 year old Greenwing Macaw named Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, although Caligula might have been a more fitting handle for him.

Actually, he's a very sweet bird... most of the time. But when he's a a mood, he's quite the little tyrant.

Getting a dog soon, I think. German shepard, Rottie, Neopolitan Mastiff or Malamute. I'd love to get a Vlcak, but I don't think they're legal here in NYS. Oh, well...

I have one cat (or he has me...). "Fuzzybutt" was being severely neglected, so my niece took him in to her household and got him looked at and fixed. He wasn't happy there because of her 3 dogs, so she asked me to take him in. And the rest, as they say, is history. He's "mixed" but predominately Russian Blue. Wonderful disposition. I had a friend in Canada who was allergic to cats. When she'd hear me talk about FB, she'd want a kitty. We read that Russian Blues are the least likely to provoke allergies. She bought some special kind of product that was supposed to be put on a cat's coat so that allergic people would have fewer problems. She got a russian blue about a year ago and hasn't had any problems. (and she doesn't even have to use the product that she bought.) Russian Blues are special kitties. (And they generally know it. )
