Our Friends of Fur, Feather, and Fin (and assorted others)

There’s been a clamor for a dog thread, a cat and dog thread . . . well, we know where that can lead. Besides, we like all kinds of animals and MBers have an assortment of pets, so why stop there?

(We could have been consistent and called this Pets 2007.1, since there was a Pets thread in 2006, but we felt the urge to alliterate. And we’re simply not all that consistent. Anyway, there’s no need to restrict the discussion to pets, so a different title makes sense after all.)

I have six bunnies. If anyone would care for a blue dutch rabbit, please say so. I will do my utmost to get it too you. (No, seriously. I know it won’t happen, but I sooooo need to get rid of them. Well, four of them anyways.)

We named our dog Jip, since it’s a sheepdog name. (And better than Sandy, which is what Opal* wanted to name him.) Then my mother realized that it was totally derogatory to gypsies. So we went through a series of alternative names, for example, Pip and Zip. None of them stuck. So now I feel rather kind of bad about it.

*She’s been on here under her own name, so why do I continue to refer to her as “my sister”?

I don’t have any beanie babies. But I do have 50 or so other stuffed animals of varying types.

Our cat, Shadow, has really bad breath. He’s fairly old (we think) and he has fangs. The poor guy really wants nonstop pets, but it’s so hard for us to pet him, due to the fact that he digs his claws into us and pushes his face into ours.

Vixen of the Ruby Eyes

I have an applehead chihuahua. She is a two year short hair, not-tipping-the-scales-at-all 3.7 lbs. She is a sorel with a straight tail, a white wheat strand, protruding eyes, the nuisance poodle eyes, proportioned feet, black hair tips. She is gorgeous.

ok, ok, I’ll speak english. She is a red/chestnut with a tail that doesn’t curl over her back (known as a pig tail, curled tail, or Shirley Temple tail), a white stripe on her breast, bulging eyes, poodle eyes (a condition that dogs get because they have bulging eyes, it makes them cry all the time.) Her feet aren’t to big for her, and she has a few black hairs on her back.

I did NOT make up the Shirley Temple tail. If you’ll recall, Ms. Temple had curly locks, hence the name.

Her temperment is perfect, and the only reason that she doesn’t strut in the international Dog Show Ring with a blue ribbon is because we rescued her after Hurricane Katrina.

We call her Quetzalcoatl, after the aztec god. The Aztecs bred chihuahuas.

13- OMG, I am so sorry. The same thing nearly happened to my dog. Our dog food (Iam’s Select Delights) was on the list. We were switching from Purina Tiny Bites Adult to the Iams that very night that the news broke. We are really lucky.

I have never had a dog die on me, but I have had to give several dogs away because we moved or because of behavoral problems. I can’t imagine losing my darling Quetzal because of a corporation’s greed.

Cats dogs.

26- I cry when I read almost anything. I’ve never read Where the Red Fern Grows.

We used to have a dog named – wait for it – Spot. Spot was part border collie. Spot was also more than a little neurotic, and killed chickens and the like. She was white, and had a black spot over her ear, hence the name. One day Spot had puppies. We thought there were six of them, but only four emerged from hiding. Hmm. One day when they were about two months old, Spot, bright thing that she was, took them running. They ran around the neighborhood and the countryside and goodness knows where else, and came back a little sick and very tired. All four survived. The second time she took them running, one of the puppies had the sense to stay at home. The other ones had no such luck. They came back days later, all of them much sicker than they had been when they left. Two of them bounced right back, but Spot and the other one didn’t. They both died. We got rid of the other two puppies and kept Jip/Pip/Zip.

21- we had a cat named Shadow… we have lotsa cats, all outdoor, but we name them, we usually get about 5-10 kitens every year (they don’t all stay on the farm, we have a consistant dozen or so)
29- yeah, me neither, but I heard about it because it was caused by melomine (sp?) getting into wheat in China, then coming here. Melomine is poisonous and all, but the fact that it got into the pet food wasn’t the American company’s fault, it was the fault of the Chinese company(s) that sold the wheat. That same thing could have easily happened to us at my family’s feed mill (aside from the fact that we only use organic grain) or any place that uses wheat because no one would spend the money to check for everything that could be poisonous.

The point? Blame China.

My dog went to the vet today to get “fixed” I hope he doesn’t learn to hate vets because I want to be a vet… still, if anything like that was ever done to me, I think I would hate that person

They say they are going to come out very soon and say something about it, most likely taking them off the list.

48- YES! They were sacrificial animals, food, pets, feed for livestock, royal pets, signs of status. Multi use, you know…

The Toltecs were the first to breed them and the the Aztecs conquered the Toltecs but liked the chis.

They were eaten at special occasions, like the birth or death of a family member. Ugly or lame chis were given to livestock.

After Cortez, the chis ran wild for more than 300 years, during which they were even eaten by birds. Now a days, most of chis are afraid of birds.

I love cats but my parents (especially my dad) are allergic. I told my mom that I wanted to get cats when I grow up and then she went “Oh, hi mom and dad, I’d love to have you over but…” and it made me sad.
Not that sad, though. I’m only fourteen. xD

I read in the paper that eagles no longer need the protection of the Endangered Species Act but I didn’t read the whole article so I’m still unclear if they went from endangered to off the list entirely or endangered to threatened or threatened to off the list entirely.

Hey- how do you guys pick a name for your pet?

82- Prepare for a long-winded explanation.

Shadow, our first cat, was named because of his fur color and because when we got him, his name was Webster, which was awful. We considered naming him Otter, if I remember correctly, but we went with Shadow.

Zebra, our second (still alive) cat, was named thus because of her stripes. Now we call her Zeeb most of the time, and it fits her well.

Our other two cats, Beetle and Bug, were picked up at the feed store totally spontaneously. They were sisters, and we wanted to give them matching names. It was proposed by either my sister or I that we call them Beetle and Bug, and we did. My mother says Bug is more like an Agatha, though.

Rabbits:

My first rabbit was Daisy, now deceased. I named her Daisy because I had been saving the name for a rabbit, and when it was later discovered that Daisy was a boy, well, what could we do about it? You don’t even want to hear the Daisy story…

Bunny: Yes, I have a rabbit named Bunny. I was going to call her Lavender, but Bunny was her pet nickname, and I don’t even try to pretend that it’s otherwise anymore.

And then there is Big Bun. Not a relative of Bunny, but in the two days we were desperately trying to think of a name, she was called Big Bun, and it stuck.

Mr. Blue was named after the ELO song, “Mr. Blue Sky.” I’m not proud of that fact, but it is a very good name.

There are various other stories, but I don’t really want to go into them all.

samthetenrec yes, IM BACK!!!!

in July 5th, 2007 @ 05:00

My first dog was called Tansy, a Jack Russel Terrier who we gave away when we moved to Botswana.
Some people gave us a Maltese called Josie but then took her back because they missed her
Then when we moved back to New Zealand (its snowing here at the moment lol) I got two fish, Comet and Plutt.
Comet died 3 days before christmas 2006 then my friends fish, Tiger, died on Xmas day when I was looking after him.
We bought together(me and my friend Amberleigh) 3 more, Elvis Pringle, Comet the Second and Tiger 2.
Elvis died, and Plutt commited suicide, i.e he jumped out of the tank, it was very traumatising seeing him on the floor
Now the two best buds ( Comet the 2nd and Tiger2) live happily in a VERY DIRTY TANK (which I should get round to cleaning these holidays!)

My firts dog was named Bingo because it’s an african (I forget which language) word for dog.
Another dog was named Indipendence because she was found at the independence center, where my mom worked. She was a great dog, but bit my little brother when he poked her while she was sleeping.
next dog was named Miki because it is Inuit for small. Her sister was Kaya, which we thought had a good ring to it. Miki was the one to be named Kaya, but there was some confusion at the adoption center and they accidently switched the names, and it stuck. Kaya died of Demodex, inherited from her mother, Miki had to be given away becvause we were moving to a tiny apartment, and she was very neurotic after the death of her sister.
Quetzalcoatl is our dog now, a beautiful chi. Chis were bred mainly by the Aztecs, and we thought that since they worshipped Quetzalcoatl, it would remind us of her rich history and legacy. It is easy to forget that about these adorable dogs, and start treating them like teddies.

82- it’s hard for me, like with the 4 new heifers I got yesterday, I just sat with them for about an hour thinking of names that would suit them, I ended up with Chrissy for my favorite one (she’s a sweet little baby!) and Betsy, Anna, and Diana (that’s a pretty name, but it doesn’t quite suit her, so I might have to change it…

Oh yes, I have a neurotic rabbit, and a dog who’s aparently from Neverland.

I have, currently, not that many pets:
Akroyd – dog – When we got him, he had a cone around his head and we had just rented Coneheads. Dan Akroyd played the main guy
Shawney – dog – Kept the name the pound gave her
Tommy – cat – Name I gave him when I was ten or something.
Voodoo – fish – Pearls Before Swine cartoon “This is Voo.” “What does Voo do?” “Voo do voodoo”.

I also just had to give my two rats away cus of boarding school and they were named Sher and Nosh, though she changed their names to Cheech and Chong. The names came from the phrase “No sh**, Sherlock”

I’ve also had chickens, guinea pigs, parakeets, and mice.
One of my chickens was named something like Rumplechicken.

As for beanie babies, I have around 100 or 150.

I also have Nintendogs, and even though they don’t count as pets, they tend to have pretty cool names: Marx, Mast, Carmel, Crusade, Missile, Quin, Ferris, Lyla, Archaic, Helga, and Tzar.

86: Hey, do you realize that one of those names you named your heifers is my real name? Haha, that’s so funny!

I have a dog named Buddy. We didn’t name him that all-too-common-name; it was his name when we got him.

I also have three bunnies, one of which is mine. I named her
Penny really for no reason other than I was only eight and
couldn’t think of anything better. The other two bunnies belong to my sisters.

We also have a parakeet who was originally named Noel until we found out she (he) was a boy bird. Now he’s Charlie. And that’s only because my grandfather once had a bird named Charlie and he called our bird Charlie. And no matter how many times we told him the bird was Noel, he’d call him Charlie. So now it’s Charlie.

I also had a kitten for two days. The dog looked about to eat her, though, so we had to return her much against my will and it was horrible and I never want to go through it again.

Oh dear, my friend of fur, the evil creature known as Tom just came in. He’s been quite affectionate since I got back, even venturing out of my room (I have a cat door in my room, so he’s normally either outside or in there. Or with his secret second wife). Anyways, since my computer gets internet in the corner right next to the door, I normally lie down on my stomach there, and he’ll sleep on my back. This time, though, he got on my back and immediately started rubbing his head in my hair and clawing my neck to the point where I thought he’d draw blood. Ohgod, he just did it again. Pain. Painpainpain.

I have one dog, named Caspian (from the prince and the sea). He’s a Portuguese Water Dog, and, while most Porties are black with white chests/bellies/faces, Caspian is white with black spots.

I also have two cats, named Pesky and Silky. (I named them when I was 7, okay?) Pesky is small and grey, with a cream chin and flecks of orange throughout her fur. She sleeps at the foot of my bed at night but hates being petted. We got her from a place out in Maryland.

Silky is the classic “tuxedo cat,” with slick black fur everywhere except his chest and paws- his white “shirt” and “spats.” He doesn’t like me or anyone else, probably because of his experience as a motherless kitten on the city streets. Silky is a great hunter, and has brought down such prey as squirrels half his size.

I like cats a lot, and they are my favorite animals. Seamice (Aphrodite aculeata) are my other favorites, hence my name here.

Plus many deceased pets including but not limited to: Another two cats, Bertha and Seal, one hit by a truck (nasty neighbors) and the other one carried off by an owl, two tree frogs and a toad, who died while I was on vacation and my mother forgot to give them their daily misting for two weeks (not pretty), a snake (old age), a hedgehog (ditto), a mouse (Quinn’s dog ate it the day she brought it home), a dog named Nola (we had to put her down after she almost killed our neighbor’s dog… twice…), and about twenty cockroaches. Yes, I keep roaches. Deal with it. They’re very cute.
Plus this fish thing I have on Dashboard. It’s very cute, and it predicts the weather (not very accurately, but still better than the local “news” station).

We’ve had a lot of pet excitement in the past couple of days.

Last week, my brother’s mice, Frodo and Sam, died of unknown causes. It was very sad and we buried them and such. My friend’s mouse had babies a few weeks ago, so we got 2 new mice (Aragorn and Legolas, sense a theme?) on Friday. They’re dark brown and 4 weeks old and really cute!

I have also had Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches for a few years. We ordered 4 females from the internet. But, they apparently sent us 2 females and 2 males, because 2 years later we had hundreds and hundreds of roaches, of all different ages. I had a really great time with them, watching them grow and molt and such, but it was getting to be a bit much. 300 roaches is a lot. So, we gave them away today. A few of them went to the family that gave us the mice, and the rest went to someone my mom knows that breeds cockroaches and wanted to expand his gene pool. So, the mice inherited the Cockroaches’ aquarium.

We also have 2 cats: Ginger and Beth. When I was younger we had 2 cats as well, Despina and Sangria. Despina died when I was about 3 years old, and she was hit by a car. Sangria died of old age a long time after that. (I’m not sure how old I was, but she was 28.) We also had a dog named Kimba, who was a Samoyed, and she died at age 14 of old age.

We have also had hermit crabs (David and Smeagol), a gerbil, and many fish.

I love birds and I want to get one, but I’ll be off to college in a few years and I don’t think my parents want to have a bird dropped on them when the dorms don’t let me keep a pet.
I really wanted a cockatiel and they live about 15 years, which would not work with the college unless they allow animals.
I may get finches or a turtle this summer.
Or fish if I lose all hope for being able to keep my other pets in college.

I realllly want a cockatiel though. I love things that fly and I’m going to go to college for something to do with aviation.

I found out that 2 of them have deformed feet! One of them is missing a couple of front toes, and another is missing an entire front foot and some of its back toes. I’m going to keep the footless one. It’s the runt of the litter too and it’s so cute!

I love my Stumpy Gerbil!
One of his siblings died yesterday or this morning. It looked sick and we think that it had some sort of internal deformity with its organs, since there were 2 others missing parts of feet.
We think that the parents were brother and sister, because the pet stores aren’t really careful about seperating them. If they are, then the inbreeding would cause problems.

My family’s pets:
â€¢ Gizmo, a 15-year-old African Peach-faced Lovebird. She is really cute and can make a clicking sound.
â€¢ Firecracker, Hibiscus and tangerine’s Siamese Fighting Fish (or betta fish). He is red and and blue.
â€¢ Jingle Bell, my betta fish. He is white and purple. I got him for Christmas last year, after my old fish Aquamarine died.
â€¢ Assorted fish, shrimp, and snails in my dad’s fish tank. None of them really have names.

Pets my family used to have (sad stories ahead):
â€¢ Aquamarine, a betta fish I once had. She was female, and a really pretty turquoise color. When we bought her at the store, she was sick, but not showing any outward symptoms yet. Within a few days of being adopted, she started to grow fungus. We tried several medicines, but eventually she couldn’t swim anymore, and couldn’t get to the surface to breathe, and died.
â€¢ Chief, an Arabian horse we leased once. He was a chestnut gelding with white stockings and a white blaze. He was 20 years old, but acted younger. While we leased him, my mom taught me to trot, canter, and even jump a little. But the horse’s owner decided to start putting him in horse shows, and worried about him being rode by kids. So she canceled the lease. I don’t know what happened to Chief afterward.

I am definitely a cat person, although some dogs can be nice too. I wish I had a cat, but we’re renting a house and our landlord’s daughter is allergic to all fur, so I can’t even have a rat or guinea pig.

My Beloved Pets:
DOGS:
Nigel- an English Setter, 5 years old, I show him in 4-H.
Lita- a Lab/German Shepherd cross, 10 years old, retired 4-H dog.
CATS:
Leona-7 or 8 years old, I bottle fed her when she was a kitten. (She was the runt)
Lionel- also 7 or 8 years old, brother of Leona, the biggest cat you will ever see in your life. Seriously. He’s 16 pounds but won’t loose any more weight no matter how hard we try.
CHICKENS:
Tonks- a crazy looking chicken, sister of Lupin.
Lupin- also a crazy looking chicken, brother of Tonks.
Hermione- a regular old hen, has an attitude.
Flitwick- a sweet little chicken.
Ginny- another sweet little chicken, sister of Flitwick.

Maybe I’ll send in pictures. *hopes thread is revived*

I have two dogs, nineteen chickens, and three Japanese fighting fish that sadly passed away (moment of silence)

Dream Pets:
Humpback whale (failed attempt, not enough room in pool)
Llama (my mom is thinking about it…)
Platipus (we haven’t found one yet…)
Monkey ( my dad would kill me)
Goat (if we get a farm)
Rat (really cool but , again, my dad woould kill me…)
Lizard (probably)
Guinea pig (we could get one, I would have to buy it myself)
etc. etc. etc.

That is (estimated) one sixteenth of all the pets I really want but will not reside at my house.

161- A platypus would be cool, if you could somehow manage the giant poison stinger on their hind feet, I believe.

And your dad would kill you over a rat? A monkey, I understand, but a domesticated rat I think would be fine… not speaking from experience, but they sound pretty cool as long as they are not wild and rabid… *twitches*

164- But then how would you be able to eat it? *Wiki’-s.*

While both male and female Platypus are born with ankle spurs, only the male has spurs which produce a cocktail of venom… Although powerful enough to kill smaller animals such as dogs, the venom is not lethal to humans, but is so excruciating that the victim may be incapacitated”

165: He would kill me over a rat because to him, the rat symbolizes unheelthiness and germs (which I don’t understand because domesticated rats can be really clean) and he alway wants our house to be clean and to LOOK clean (two different perspectives if you think about it)

I am devising a system for st. francis like greetings. This revolves around ‘Enin’, meaning ‘sibling’, but exclusively for people of a differant species. (Normally, its hard to mistake a male of your own species for a female, and vice verse.) Small tropical birds are ‘little brother/sister’ (depending on your gender), unless they are definitely the opposite gender, in which case you use brother or sister. Crows are enins, or less commonly brothers. (sisters if they are definitely female) Little trees are sisters, medium trees are any manner of enins, and great big trees are grandfathers.

I wish we could get another ferret, but since I’ll only be home for another year and a half before college, there wouldn’t really be anyone to look after one… a bird you can’t cuddle as much, but it would live in the kitchen and get enough social interaction with me gone.

But ’tis fun. His favorite thing is to sit and watch the birds when they are eating bird seed on the back porch in winter. It’s so funny to watch him hunker down, tail twitching, as he chatters at them….. So cute.

Then it died. I missed it so much i cried. i was not the kind of kid who tortured animals. Then she adopted a cat from the street. My aunt lives in Moscow and theres like a million happy stray cats there, and once we went and fed them and i saw a kitten and i fell in love with it, evil dad didnt let me keep it. Anywy the new cat is sinisterly sweet to everyone, and my dad, a soul hater of cats, got rubbed by it. I still do held it responsible for the death of the orange neon one.

And on the subject of chinchillas, I’ve held the nicest chinchilla in the world at a CountryMax with one of my best friends and it was so soft I never wanted to put it down. My friend’s Mom really liked it too.

228- Rainbowstar: Well, they don’t get along with the little boys, but they don’t bother the girls as much because they’re really big. However, they make it clear that they want to make them their prey. My cats are Maine Coon mixes, so it is in their blood to kill any rodent they come across, so it might vary with breed/cat disposition and size of your piggie. I’d reccomend getting two guinea pigs to keep each other company; they get really stressed out and unhappy if they’re alone, anyway.

And we decided on Myrtle for that chicken. She looks like more of a Myrtle.

Why not a “general cute animals” contest? You could have a cute cat, or a cute bird, or a cute bunny.

I have a whippet mix named Starr, two kittehs who are sisters named Daisy and Rosie, and a ferret named Little Lord Faunterloy. Right now my brother is playing with Fauntie. Have you ever seen an animal so cute that you just want to smoosh it? Because that’s the feeling I’m getting right now.

And I like the idea of the cute pet contest. Sign me up!

Oops, Fauntie just bit Cole. Time to break out the Neosporin!

Speaking of pets, I remember when my hamster died. I felt close to zero emotion. It was just sort of an ‘oh, okay’ situation. It felt really… weird. Like it didn’t happen. Huh.

Laser is acting aufly funny, moving around the kitchen after a fly. when he hunts he makes these weird “me, meh meh memeh meh me meh” and waving his tail everywhere, making it quite comical to watch.

Wow…I didn’t even know there was a thread about this until now. Well, I’ve only ever had fish in my life and my sis is deathly allergic to animals with pets (cats, dogs, and the like) so the chances we’ll be getting one of those soon is minimal. When I was younger, I was scared of dogs so we never got one then either. My dad is thinking of getting a dog once my sis goes away to college though. He’s always wanted one and has always had a dog when he was a kid, so despite my mom’s protests he seriously wants one. Hopefully my sister would not be around it too much, and I’m not sure how her allergies would be when she would come back home……that’s still a few years up the road though.

There are some dogs with hair, not fur. For example, Portuguese water-dogs (like Bo, the president’s dogs) have hair.

I have heard that labradoodles shed less than purebred labs. So, if it’s the actual fur aspect she’s allergic to, not the dried saliva flecks on the fur (this is normally what people are allergic to), perhaps a labradoodle would be a nice compromise……

Fish can be wonderful pets, especially tropical fish. If anyone’s thinking about getting some, I can provide some farly good advice.

The first one is Molly on Mandy. She was only a day or two old at the time. The second one is Mandy and all the ducklings; from left to right: Linda, Molly, Dinner, Zoe (who is mostly hidden behind Dinner), and Millie. The third one is Bill, and the last one is of Dan and Rita. Dan is the one with the mask.

48- AWW! LOOK AT ALL THE CUTE WITTLE DUCKLINGS!

Okay, I’m good.
We’ve had a bunch of pets. We hand guinea pigs a while back, but we finally gave away the last one after the first one died. (Okay, so my sister got one for her birthday. Then we got another to keep it company. That one died. So we got another. Then the first one died. So we gave the third one away.) And we have birds. Parakeets. We just have one right now, but we’ve had as much as three at a time, and we’ve had many many.
*writes out long post about birds and deletes*
If only I could put that much energy into NaNo…
I’ve also had three mice, and I might send in a picture of the only one I have a good picture of, this one. She’s adorable, but I’ll spare you any more details.

Hey! I have two cats and two fish. I m unsure of how to post them, so I will describe them. My cats;

Snookie- A girl gray tabby, with an M-shaped mark on her forehead. Is very nervous all the time and *coughmentallyretardedcough*.

Sammy- A boy nearly black cat (he has a small white mark on his chest) with some Siamese cat heritage. He has a long tail, elongated head, and very, very loud meow. Sammy is very curious.

My fish;

Cleo-A calico fish with long fins

I have some fish, and I used to have a really cool fish called a Yoyo Botia. I named him Yoyo Ma because I play the cello, but then he died. He was pretty cool anyway.
