sorry about Chopper

my pets
 

Well first I had a hermit crab (the type with the purple claws) named Hermy.
Then we got like a dozen more but they all eventually died (mostly stress but Hermy died from old age (he was pretty big) Then we got a dog, a West Highland White Terrier named "Fluffy" because she looked like a white puffball when she was little. She is really cute.:bloogrin

my dad just went to go have *my* dog put down. now i know why he let me have that cat i wanted a few days ago =(

I'm really sorry for your loss, I know the feeling. 3 months ago my one eyed dog Kinzie, who I had for 12 years had to be put down.'

Were working on getting her a headstone this month. It's a very hard thing to deal with, losing a pet.

ya, im having a hard time with it, i planed to take her to washington when i move out. i still have my rabbit mrs.harriman, but i dont think ill have room for her if i move

The longest I've had any current pet is "Bull"(sorry for the lack of originality in that name, but it suits him, since he reminds me of the bailiff on the old tv show, "Night Court"), who is a seven-foot-long Bullsnake. I just realized today that he's 17 years old! It doesn't seem like I've had him that long...guess we're both getting old. I had a Ratsnake for 19 years, and he died two summers ago. One of my tarantulas is known to be 15, but I haven't had her that whole time. Even with pets that live this long, though, it still sucks to lose them.

I have three cats:
Muffie: http://subzeroace.freepgs.com/photo/pets/000_0392.JPG (note my IZ comforter, WIN)
Morgan: http://subzeroace.freepgs.com/photo/...organscute.jpg
and Akima: http://subzeroace.freepgs.com/photo/pets/akima.jpg

I also have about 40 Guppies and a Betta I just got yesterday that I'm calling Fineous.

We had a Golden named Rosie (http://subzeroace.freepgs.com/photo/pets/3.jpg With me again) but she died last year :(

Sorry to hear that :( Rosie looked like a real nice dog, a pretty one too.

It's a hard thing to deal with. When my dog Kinzie http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65...969/Kinzie.jpg died in January I swear I've never cried so hard in my life before.

It's extremely difficult to deal with.

Here is a picture of my beloved significant other pet cat Scamp (alias: Mr. S), a light-coloured ginger tabby. He was given to me as an ickle little kitten upon my eighth birthday, making him fourteen years young and my childhood/adolescent life partner. He's a cream-and-catnip junkie and possibly a misandrist...it's odd, but while he's always been super-affectionate toward my mother and myself, he usually recoils whenever my dad or brother try to touch him (but I guess the four of us are too small a sample to know for sure). A bona fide poser who spends his days patrolling his territory and rolling around the grass on his back, so that his attractive white belly is on display and game for a tickling, and his nights snuggled up on my pillow, practically shoving my own head off. Which I don't mind, since I like having his warm, purring, vibrating body pressed up against me. Yeah, you go, you handsome devil you. :D

And here's my other delightful bundle of feline fluff - Cleopatra (alias: Cleo). She comes from the same litter as Scamp, and originally belonged to my brother, but now that he's moved away from home and started a new life elsewhere I've more-or-less inherited her. Unlike her older sibling, who has an adventurous and independent side to his nature, Cleo is a generally rather nervous and insecure (not to mention highly vocal) little creature who gets easily startled and constantly craves human company. She's also extremely playful, universally friendly and ever so affectionate - in other words, the sweetest little being on the planet:

I used to have a dwarf rabbit named Stanley - the first pet I ever owned, and one who'll always hold a very special place in my heart - but he passed on long before the age of the digital camera, so the most I could possibly show you would be a few scanned blurry snapshots of him sitting upon the lap of my six-year-old self (which I'm not keen on doing :P ). I am truly sorry to hear about everyone else's losses because I know from Stan's death how painful it is to lose a pet - I had no idea how hard it was going to hit me. It's also very painful for me to acknowledge that I'm probably much closer now to the end than to the beginning with Scamp and Cleo. :(

Not sure if she counts as a pet exactly, but at one point I did also have a sickly baby hedgehog a friend had picked up as abandoned and which somehow wound up in my hands. I named her Nettle and attempted to rear her myself, but sadly she died after a couple of weeks. She had always been very weak and, even more harrowingly, didn't appear able to use her back legs, which possibly accounts for why she was abandoned in the first place.

Raising a baby mammal is certainly no picnic. Not only do you have to supply them with nutrients every few hours (in Nettle's case, heated goats' milk through a pipette...cows' milk + hedgehogs = DISASTER), but you have to enable them to relieve themselves yourself by running a damp cotton bud around the appropriate areas (in the wild, their mothers would apparently just lick them :P ).

the same thing Happened to my 17 year old cat back in Febuary.
within a week withered down to nothing, would not even fight getting into the car. it was very sad.

I though it may be related to the recall. however accoring to the FDA facs it should not have been since my cat never ate wet food, but they could always be wrong.

Monty :-/

Love the pets, guys! I guess I should show you all my cat, Kissmitt.

He's my best friend and has a tone of attitude (what cat doesnt?8D ). I got him when my sister had to move and couldn't take him with her. She denies it now, but she named him "Kissmitt" as a short version of "Kiss Mittens". Now she says it's supposed to be the word "Kismet".8D

Lemme see. I have 3 cats.

Click here for a pic of Cocoa.
She's actually named after Coco from Foster's...it was my mom's idea. Also the fact that her fur is a cocoa color. She's annoying and likes to get under the covers with me, much to my dismay...>> Uh, my figures...got in the way kind of.

Click here for a pic of Winnie.
He's the oldest of the three, been around for many years (possibly 7 or 8) and he was my mom's until I...carried him up the stairs from the basement. After I kept doing that a few times, he loved me. XD Weird, but true.

Click here for a pic of Chi-Chi.
She's my mom's cat. She's mean and HATES people, being picked up and loved on at times. She's just mean all together. She's not the white cat, mind you, that one was given to a neighbor. Chi-Chi's the dark one.

That's all right now. My mom wants to get a miniature daschund...
I'm not much of a dog person and if I did get one, I'd get a German Shepherd, but she doesn't want a big dog...=(

Hey COOL avatar "Cats don't dance", guess you really are a cat lover. But back on topic, you got some pretty cute looking cats.

It's a shame Chi-Chi is so mean, how'd you come up with that name anyway? Sounds like a character from Dragon Ball Z actually.

I think Cocoa looks the cutest :).

Currently I have Kiwi the parakeet, Gohan the cat, and Jack n' Penny the Cocker Spaniels... who have their own myspace: http://www.myspace.com/jacknpenny

They are the most spoiled animals ever.
