What pets do you have?

Blossombrooks · 01-13-2014, 05:33 PM

I'm sure I saw a really old thread about this but rather than necropost I thought we'd start afresh.

I have a cat called Bert, he's 14 and we rescued him from a shelter when he was 5.

Spoiler:

I also keep Degus, I have two girls (Pepper and Daisy) and a boy (Dougal). I won't bore you with pics of all of them but I love this one of Pep.

Spoiler:

They look like Splinter right? If Dougal wasnt a rescue and hadn't already known his name trust me, he would have been called that. He's even got a funny ear like Splinter in the first movie.

So what animals do you keep everyone? Please do include pics but don't forget to spoiler them if they're huge.

I've got a Pug hence my username.

*BabyTurtles* · 01-13-2014, 06:01 PM

I have a little dog :3 it's a mut~

Blossombrooks · 01-13-2014, 06:15 PM

Aw, I love pugs NinjaPug! What colour is he/she?

I get to see a lot of my customer's dogs BT, my favourite two are mutts

We've got three dogs of the chihuahua variety (though only one of them is a purebred). Our oldest little lady is named Muneca, she has to be at least 15 though I wish we could find her papers to be absolutely sure. Our other girl's name is Kallie. She's pretty dumb, but she makes it up for it by being super cute. Our little boy, who has to stay outside and is a smidge bit bigger than the girls, has about a million names, but mostly we call him either Chipotle or Popo. He's got eyebrows like a doberman.

I have two Red-Eared Slider girls named Lara and Hariette. I did have a male, but. He died way before his time last summer sadly. His name was MacGyver.

We have two cats. Tony is a 16 year-old Tonkaese but still acts like he's a year old. He enjoys running around the house while playing with his catnip mice and perfecting his lion growl. I don't think he's ever going to get it right. He doesn't growl at anyone. He just enjoys doing at while he zooms around. He also loves taking flying leaps onto my back early in the morning around 2 or so. This is usually followed by a lengthy bout of purring on his part. He enjoys sitting or sleeping in the lap of any human who will allow him entry.

Guy is our Ragdoll. They are a very fluffy breed of cat. He's a gentle giant, towering over our Tonk. Tony is something of an alpha male, but guy doesn't mind letting Tony be in charge since he's got such a sweet nature. He enjoys licking the faces of his owners, as well as petting us with his paw just as often as we pet him. He also gives endless amounts of Eskimo kisses. For such a physically intimidating giant of a cat, he has such a cute kitten's meow. He enjoys snuggling with his smaller buddy and talking about everything and nothing during TV shows. They're both awesome boys.

*Mzx10484* · 01-14-2014, 09:39 AM

I have a saltwater aquarium with many colorful fish.

*Andrew NDB* · 01-14-2014, 10:58 AM

* Tree frog
* Firebelly toad
* Hermann's tortoise
* 3 toe box turtle
* Razor back musk turtle x2
* Red earred slider turtle x2
* Common snapping turtle
* Alligator snapping turtle
* Big, black 30 lbs. cat

So 11 pets.

I have an Albino Hedgehog named Sonic. I know it is a terribly uncreative name, but Sonic is the reason I have always wanted a pet hedgehog, so it seemed only fitting! He is a little over a year old.

Don't have any pets, but we did have a Yorkshire terrier named Toby. He was technically my sister's dog but Mom and I took care of him all the time and we often thought of him as ours since we bonded with him the most. He was such a good dog. He would lay next to me on the couch and watch TMNT with me. Had he lived, I'm sure he would have watched the Nick show with me, too.

Sofistocat · 01-14-2014, 12:07 PM

Although I'm a true Gemini, I'm also a aquarist...

This is a DIY 45 gallon coral reef system. It's been running for about 2.5 years. It survived Hurricane-Superstorm-f'ing whatever Sandy. There are fish, hard coral and soft corals, and some Mangroves too. All in all , there is a lot going on here. It's my way to get away from things when I'm stressin. Can't wait till i have a mortgage and a space big enough to do a Bad Ass setup (150+ gallons) It's a pretty cool hobby...

Word to the wise: Do not setup up some elaborate DIY fish tank system at your parent's house, let it become established, then move out a few years later and not bring the tank with you... I didn't have the resources to bring it to my apt. Alas, I have to go to my Mom's house everyday (14 miles each way) to care for the tank/s. See also: Pain in the A**!! When setting up a saltwater system, you def want to think ahead at least 3 - 5 years how you will manage caring for a tank. You could also simply not get as crazy as I have...

these pics are from various times through 2.5 years

A couple days after startup

Spoiler:

Do not, I repeat, do not add this much to a coral tank inside 6 months and then act shocked when alot of it doesn't survive. This was definitely an imoulsive case of too much too soon. You MUST take baby steps when approaching salt water fish tanks...

Loving the pics everyone! Keep 'em coming

There's a really interesting selection of pets going on here, it's nice to read all about them.

RaphAndDonnie · 01-14-2014, 02:22 PM

I have one old greying gerbil who's lived for five years now.

Awesome pics, Sofistocat. It's funny you should say you consider yourself an Aquarius as I am an actual Aquarius.

I knew I would get somebody with my dry humor. I did not say "aquarius" I said "aquarist"... my geminism is giggling a bit
