Number of pets total? 2

What kind? 1 Great Dane and 1 Tabby Tuxedo Cat

Name? Dane Isis (XXXI) and Cat Ramus

Age? Both will be 2 in the spring

Something 'special' about them (eg how you got them, something they always do etc)

Isis is my husband dream dog he got her when he got back from Iraq, she has earned the knickname miss piggy because she is so prissy and then all the sudden she just bleches and I do mean bleches. She's a big baby but I love her to death even though she is daddy's "little" girl.

Rasmus was my 1st anniversary gift from my husband, he saved him from the Ft.Riley animal shelter. Rasmus is my little ninja kitty even with a damn bell on his neck he still manages to sneak around the house, he also is a lover and is having an on again off again love affair with the stuffed cat my husband got me for valentines day.

Number of pets total: 4
What kind: Siberian Husky, 1 Ryukin Goldfish & 2 Oranda Goldfish
Name: Alaska, Ryu, Fin & Flicker
Age: Alaska is about 3 and the fish... well, I got them about 3 weeks ago.
Something 'special' about them: Alaska is more like an oversized cat. She'll try to sit in your lap if you sit in the recliner and she loves to be scratched right about her tail - that'll make her lose it. Lol. Oh, and she usually sleeps on her back, with her hind legs spread open so EVERYONE has a great view of her wohoo.

So, overall, she's just special. And don't forget the "talking".

And, the fish, are just... fish.

Here's a pic of Alaska though:

Ohhh my babies!

Number of pets total? We have to cats
What kind? white/black/brown tabby
Name? Niko & Kiki (twins)
Age? 1½ year
Something 'special' about them (eg how you got them, something they always do etc)
We rescued our babies from under our deck. We were out of town and between our week out of town we had to stop home for one day, that one day we heard them meowing and dh had to take some of the wood boards from the deck out to rescue them. We really thought they would not make it, they were pretty bit up. They were about two weeks old and I took care of them like if I was their mother, waking up every four hours to feed them and help them poop and pee. They instantly became our babies

a year and a half later they are the most beautiful (in mommy's eyes

)spoiled cats I've ever seen

We've been so blessed with them

when we found them...

and later...

So your kitties are so cute, I'm glad you found them and took such good care of them we need more people like you in the world to save the poor kitties.

Number of pets total? Three
What kind? Cats
Name? Boots, Smokey Shadow
Age? 6yrs, 5 yrs, and 2yrs (in the same orders as their names are listed)
Something 'special' about them (eg how you got them, something they always do etc)

Boots- not too much special about boots, she is crazy
Shadow is Siamese/Egyptian Mau mix and has a great relationship with my son, it is so cute. they sleep together
Smokey- is going to be registered as my companion animal (kinda like a service animal but not as many rights, she wouldn't be able to ride a plane like a service animal would, can't go places with me, but at least I was told by my Dr, she wouldn't be classified as a pet, so doesn't count, that I need to look up state laws) She calms me when I start getting anxious and panicky

My family has 2 cats, 1 dog & I have 1 fish.

Thor is our dog, he's a 6 year old Alaskan Malamute mix. He's dumber than a brick, but pretty lovable. He inhales 2 cups of food in about 15 seconds & don't ever sit on the floor with him in the room, because you will find a 90 pound dog in your lap.

Ziggy is our oldest cat, some sort of fluffy orange thing. He's a bit antisocial, but he's old, 10 years, I think. He whines, a lot, unfortunately, it doesn't sound like anything.... And he has a thing for furry things, in the

sort of way.

****bit...err...Tidbits is our newest cat, a 4 year old gray tabby. He's my baby sister's cat, & kind of a butt. I joke with my family sometimes that I as soon as I left for college, they replaced me with a cat. As much as he is cute for a tabby, & can be sort of sweet, I still dislike him for torturing my cat.

Scooby Doo, who was my cat, was put down in August. He was 8 years old & was a buff & white shorthair. My avatar picture is my Scooby. He was a polydactyl, so he had 3 extra toes on his front paws where people have thumbs, so it looked like he had little white mittens. We found him up a tree at my cabin, just before my grandma died. We had to put him down for a bladder issue, & as cheesy as it sounds, I miss him everyday....

Lazarus is my betta. I've had him for about a year. He's blue & has darker blue speckles if you look close enough. He's the only thing I have in my house right now.

oK, well, those are my pets.

Manchu Ma'am · 11-09-2009, 08:25 PM

Number of pets total? One
What kind? Male Mini Schnauzer
Name? Othello A.K.A Oti
Age? 2 years, 3 mos and 1 day!
Something 'special' about them (eg how you got them, something they always do etc)

He acts like a toddler, seriously!

MissTori1987 · 11-09-2009, 08:41 PM

Does my parents' pets count?
Number of pets total? 1 dog (my dad's) and 2 dogs and one cat (my mom's)
What kind? one mutt, two Chinese crested and another mutt.
Name? Rocket, Parris Marie, Jeffery Dean and Quincy Jones
Age? Rocket is 11 years old ( my dad got him for me for my 11th birthday). Parris Marie is 3 years old, Jeffery Dean is about 2 and Quincy Jones is old as crap.
Something 'special' about them (eg how you got them, something they always do etc)
Rocket once dislocated a toe and pulled a muscle. Since Parris and Jeffery are Chinese Crested (hairless dogs), they always have to wear clothes... they have more clothing than I do. And Quincy Jones, well he is Quincy Jones. Before my mom's cancer, my mom worked at a home that housed AIDS patients. Miss Terry was Quincy Jones previous owner. He gave Quincy to my mom before his death. Quincy Jones was there and sometimes my mom's rock during her cancer. He is also bi-polar

Pet #1: Abbie the dachshund mix.
She is about six years old and we adopted her from friends who were fostering her. She came from an abusive home, although we don't know details. She has a problem with children and men [she's genuinely terrified of them, unless she knows them].
She's our little princess, though. Both my mom and MIL want to steal her away from us. She's not very playful - she just stashes her toys in a hiding place - but she loves rawhide to the point of stealing it from other dogs.
She's a trooper - she's done the drive from OKC to Northern California and back twice, and was a champ when we were on the Alaskan ferry.

Pet #2: Yoyo, the psychotic black kitty.
He's about two and a half [I think] and he was my 25th b-day present from the husband. I found him at a shelter when I helped a friend find a kitty, and I fell in love after he tried to take a nap in my purse. He's all black with a tail bent in two places.
He's kind of insane - he tries to beat up Abbie [who has learned to not take it], he climbs everything [washing mashines, 6-foot-tall armoires, screen windows], plays with Abbie's toys and tries to colonize every box he sees.
He stayed with my BFF in OKC after we moved for two months until we were settled in Anchorage, and then she flew him up here. He dealt with 12 hours in a crate [a HUGE crate] and now he's back and I owe my BFF for dealing with his crazy self for so long.
