Pet Owners Thread

What pets do you own?

I have two ferrets (have had them for 2 years). They freeroam (no cage) and the apartment is ferretproofed.

1 Cat
2 Rabbits
2 GoldFish
SOme tropical fish no idea how many still alive

I've got a 5.5 month old boxer puppy.

[wh1t3bread]

My roomate in college had a ferret. This thing crapped more than any other animal I have ever seen. It [censored] so much that you would clean his cage and then a half hour later there would be two huge piles of [censored] (about the same size of the ferret) again. I found this remarkable.

Is this an exception or a rule for these things?

P.S. My roomate was not a good pet owner so it is highly possible he fed the thing 5x more than he probably should have.

I have no pets. I have an aversion to feces.

[jakethebake]

Yellow lab and a cat. Anyone that doesn't have a pet, should. They're good friends. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[SL__72]

12 year old golden retriever who still thinks shes a puppy.

[Alchemist]

Two greyhounds

<---- that's Kelli. She's got Mardi Gras beads on cause she's a partydog.

I had a ferret in college. It stunk. They get pretty nasty when they get old, my buddy has two - one of them is an albino and it's almost completely bald. It's the ugliest little animal ever.

[Shajen]

two cats.

One is solid black, like this one:

the other looks like this one:

I would like to add a dog to the mix, but my yard is too small for the breed of dog I'd like to get. (Australian Sheep dog)

mine are litter trained, but yeah they crap every four hours or so.

[imported_The Vibesman]

I have a black lab. He's old, fat and arthritic. I love him ta death.

I was thinkig about getting a pig as a pet, a nice tender one. Them make it eat like 50 pounds of food a day untill it gets to about 1200 pounds then it will be perfect! I'll screw when I want to remmember my Ex....

The dogs would have the rabbits if got the chance, the cat scratched the dog a few times and that resolved their differences.

Pigs are actually very good pets. I had one when I was a kid. Her name was Arlene and she loved jumping on the trampoline with me. Seriously. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Slow Play Ray]

Nice - ferrets are really cute (and fun) before they turn old and gross...

WOW! So it sounds like its pretty normal and since my roomate fed them probably 5x more than he should have (which is not out of the question since he feeds himself 5x more than he should) then that would explain the greater frequency.

It was still a pretty cool pet when he let it run around the apartment.

[Inthacup]

My wife had a ferret in college that looked like the one on the left. I hear they are much better pets when in pairs.

I am also intrigued. Is he some sort of chameleon? I can't see him.

[slamdunkpro]

Roy is a leopard gecko. About 4-5 inches long.

Very high metabolism type animals. Naturally always do a lot of moving. So they have to eat a lot, thus comes all the poop.

[Blarg]

None. /images/graemlins/frown.gif I miss 'em. Have had iguanas, many types of birds including some really exotic ones, turtles, rats, rabbits, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, salt and fresh water fish, a gibbon ape, geckos and chameleons, I dunno, probably more.

Absolutely. Pets train you to be human, and most of us need a lot of training. And frequent refresher courses.

Cute cat pic! I hear cats really love the hell out of that ring thing with the balls in it.

Just curious -- why another? Your dogs are big, and four is a decent number. Is it to give your new puppy someone its own age to play with or something?

[bravos1]

1 cat
1 hampster for the weekend (my daughter's preschool class pet)

It's a crappy picture. She's all fawn and her socks are almost perfect.

I just noticed is that red thing hanging from the leash a fire hydrant that holds poop bags?

Yeah. You got the same thing?

[MtSmalls]

We have one dog and one kitten

Pearl is a two year old Olde English Bulldog (think a boxer crossed with a lab). She's about 90 pounds, mostly white with black spots and brindle eyepatches.

George is a mixbreed domestic shorthair (she looks partly Abasynnian). He weighs about 5 pounds. And routinely kicks Pearl's a$$.

I'll post pictures later....

Looks like this Thread is 50% Golden Retrievers.
Mine is almost 2 and named Sophie. She is insane. I was hoping that she might grow out of it...
Does this mean I shouldn't ever bother spackling the huge holes in my walls?

Still, she's very nice. I just wish I was renting! (The condo, not the dog, yo).

At least she doesn't ATTACk me when I walk around the house like my wacko cat Barlow.

I shudder to think of the damage my future children will inflict! You should too... /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

about 3/4 black lab, 1/4 some kind of hound. The size and white markings are all exactly the same...even the sleeping posture, lol. I'll see if I have a pic somewhere.
