Pets

[Pete]

Do you have any, and what are they?

I've had pets practically all my life. At various points in my life I had goldfish, tortoises, cats, dogs, and we also nursed a few pigeons back to health when we lived at my aunt's. The only ones we've never had were birds (my Mum hated them) and gerbils/hamsters/bunnies because they make a mess. I almost had chipmunks at one point, but my Mum backed out last minute and said I couldn't have them.

Currently my family has a dog (she's back home, not with me). She's our fourth overall, and the first girl. She's two years old this month. She's absolutely batshit crazy, but she's really great. We also have 2 (out of 5) cats and 3 (out of 5) tortoises left, but they live with my aunt.

We have 2 cats. Don't have any pictures on my laptop, but will probably take some today. Poor old guy Charlie, 19 years old, has definitely seen better days. Lucy is a fat girl, but dammit if she doesn't do the most adorable things!

My dog

That dog looks quite young. How old is it?

I used to have a long haired tabby but he died a few years back when he was 13 years old. I still have an 8 year old golden retriever.

IDK how many dogs I've known that we've had but I think about 5. 2 inside dogs and 3 outside dogs. Had a female Alaskan Malamute for quite some time but it died back in early 2010. Then in late 2010 we got a male Alaskan Malamute and have had it ever since. It's an outdoor dog. The Alaskan Malamutes were/are pure breed. Also currently have an indoor dog which is a jack russell cross something. Had another indoor dog before that which was a maltese shih tzu as I said but it got out a couple years ago and we didn't find it. Always got out and we found it but just didn't that time.

Had 2 cats that I know of. Both siamese. Only have one now as the female one we had which was pretty old died last year. She wasn't playful and always got her claws out. Lazy cat. The male one we have is a few years old and really playful and likes attention.

Also have a few birds atm and had quite a few in the past. Also had fish, a rabbit and guinea pigs. But don't have those 3 anymore.

My upstairs neighbour at my aunt's house had an Alaskan malamute and a husky in her apartment. One day she left them in the car in the hot sun and either the Malamute died or they both died (I can't remember exactly). I know the Malamute died for sure - a shame, he was a beautiful dog.

Good looking dog there. I'll post a picture of my cats in a few, if I can find any.

I got two miniature poodles. One I always play-fight with and the other is pretty much Blue and still doesn't know it's own name. I also have a cat that I named Samuel L. Jackson because the previous owner gave it a shitty name.

I've had other various pets mostly cats and dogs. I don't consider fish pets because technically you can't pet them. I've had some before though.

Currently have a beautiful dog called Maggie (after Maggie Gyllenhaal) who is a beegle mixed with something. Have not seen her for awhile having started uni, but should be seeing her next week end which is exciting. Shes about eleven or twleve.

Before that we had a boarder collie called Sam and our first dog was a liberdor mix called Ben.

We have also had several Cats althrough not for awhile.

My first Pet was a hamster called Max.

Right now the only pet I have is a dog. He's a beagle, turned 6 years old last Summer.

My dog has just turned 5 months, and that pick is about 6 weeks old, he's quite a bit bigger now. Yeah he's a working cocker spaniel

I haven't had any pets for the past three years after my Rottweiler died of cancer - it was like having a blood relative die because we had such a great bond it was unbelievable. Wherever she was I was. When I lived at home a while back I remember my mum forcing the dog to sleep outside so I slept outside with her. She died of cancer but it was decided that we would take her to a vet and have her put down before the pain she was suffering got worse. When I was younger we had countless dogs and all of them were completely nuts bar two. I am thinking of buying a new Rottweiler but its just finding a decent breeder and making sure that it has all the correct paperwork, etc.

I need some tissues.

Yeah, beware of puppy mills. My Lab came from a great breeder, and he lived to be 14 (died three weeks shy of his birthday or something like that, it was ridiculously heartbreaking).
