thankyou
robots

 

[Joe Blow]

One cat named Sid.

 

[Whiskers]

So your deduction of me is? :

Well... I've been there , done (most of) that... so you'll probably end up considerably more cosmopolitan, as in humanity... (not the drink).

The pup has been acquired. The rest will come in time.

Yeah, it tends to get that way. My staff used to call our place (when the kids were small) 'Ole Mcdonalds Farm'... mainly because of the pet pig that used to follow the kids around the paddock everywhere like a puppy.

Some on Whiskers what type of Pet do you Have? UM cat perhaps? :rolleyes

Yeah just a few vermin hunting, mischievous, cuddle-up-to-yer-in-bed pussy cats atm.

This is my 'ferret'... the one on the right. He's always getting up in yer face with a nice rub and lick, but often he'll (like a playfull steer, desexed) launch into a wrestle and a c'mon catch me if yer can run around game. The other is Missy... sorta after and like like a certain singer. Cutie (avatar) is the runt of the litter but very feminine, cute. Tiger was my original avatar. He's the disabled one, but still the serious, protector, father figure one.

Will post some of my previous 'Ole Mcdonalds Farm' when I find and scan a few.

I would love a Ragdoll.

Down to a dog, cat and 2 guinea pigs. The daughter moved out and the 3rats, cat, 2 guinea pigs and python went with her. Any more animals and we'd be a zoo.

In 25 years we've had 9 months animal free.

I've got Polar Bear and an assortment of tropical fish kept in a tank. Also a wallaby comes around most nights (stays outside mostly although it has come inside a couple of times).

[numbercruncher]

Labrador, Beagle , 2x cats , 2x Guineas, 4x chickens, Worm farm , squillions of Birds and Wallabies that pop in for a handout ......

I have reservations about encouraging wallabies these days thou

 

[2020hindsight]

There's a theory that people grow to resemble their pets ..
beware Green lol.

But as an aside, I knew a bloke once who was a giant ... he was a welder. .. In the course of conversation, we got around to discussing pets - .. turned out he had a pack of draught horses.

We have just acquired a ... miniature schnauzer! She is gorgeous.

... Cute dog though I wanted to test her on 5 acres with sheep.

... 9 weeks old, ... 2.9 kgs , I wanted a little dog for work, hunting vermin and friendship.

PS you say your dog is 3kg? - I'm guessing it will cost 10% of what it costs to feed mine lol. (Rotty). But I also reckon your dog will have trouble keeping up with a mouse lol. (no offence intended)

 

[nomore4s]

Nothing as exotic as some here, just a staffy for me.

Knew that would happen...

Polar Bear is the name. The actual species is an ordinary cat.

She's mostly white with a thick coat and likes eating fish, hence the name Polar Bear.

As for the wallaby, I live next to the bush so there's plenty just over the back fence. There's one that comes and has a pretty good look around sometimes though. It likes messing about with the pebbles in the garden and seems to be fascinated with the solar garden lights too (I assume it's the wallaby that's knocking them over).

The wallaby pokes its' head in through the cat door quite often but it can't fit through so I've let it in a few times. No major incidents so far but it eats all the cat biscuits. It mostly wants to come in when it's soaking wet and/or very cold. It seems to be getting over its' fear of the fire which will solve a few hassles.

Looks like a very happy dog to me!

 

[Julia]

One gorgeous German Shepherd at present. Another puppy will come in the next year or so. Just can't imagine ever being without a Shepherd.

 

[2020hindsight]

I got mine from the local pound and is one of the best dogs i've owned.

ditto m8 But she's a bitch. So was her mum lol.
But equal best with a dog I had a few back.

On the weekend I took her to the beach for some exercse fetching a ball from the water after recent knee reconstruction ($4K )

Anyway when we got home I let her take the ball up the steep driveway to the house. - Trouble is she dropped it - I turn around and the ball's heading down the drive, and about to cross the road - and she's in hot pursuit! (I've already had one dog skittled )

Anyway, I call to her (fairly empahtically lol) to "STOP" ... and she skids to a stop and sits on the 23% slope lol.
...
"What a dog" I say to myself

 

[Whiskers]

They say;

• people often resemble their pet, and
• you can tell a lot about a person by their pet

I'm not gonna answer (yet) for fear of incriminating myself.

So your deduction of me is? The pup has been acquired. The rest will come in time.

Ok, I fess up... I'm an animal luva. Everything from cattle and horses to parots and the kids (not me) even had a pet rock for awhile.

Animals seem to have always been there for me, like brothers and sisters... and my kids seem to have the midas touch too.

I've almost always had a dog, kelpie cross, Blue heeler, Labrador and last but not least, until a few years ago... a Sydney Silky Terrier. That's him with a bit of a facial so-ya-can-see-where-ya-goin, haircut.

One cat named Sid.

I had one like that many moons ago Joe... but not as sophisticated lookin as your Sid though.

Cute kitties Whiskers.

I would love a Ragdoll.

My Ferret and Cutie in particular actually have a bit of a fat roll under their belly, like a Ragdoll apparently has. There mother has a bit of Siamese and father I thought was a bit longhair Siamese, but maybe ragdoll... or maybe it's just plain fat.

This is my little boy, the other one is the bro's.

The name is Trotsky, and I keep him away from ice picks. He is also one of the smartest ferrets we've had. Always first to the food, despite his big brother being twice the size. : Has escaped multiple times the bastard. But he is incredibly friendly, and loves people.

Lol, sounds like a Trotsky... so you better watch out he doesn't meet the same fate.

Is he desexed? I ended up getting all my cats desexed this time. It also seems to have completely stoped the males in particular from wandering very far.

Yeah.

They are very difficult to control if they aren't done.

This time of year they tend to get a bit narky even without balls. Lol!

They will dig under fences and all manner of crazy things to get out when they get hormonal, for a lay, if they haven't had the chop.

I bought my mini schnauzer for a few reasons:-

I have severe allergies (death sentence asthma and exczema) to all cats, dogs, horses etc with fur or feathers.

I tried the poodle - no go. Maltese - too white for the land.

This is the first furry pet I can hold and cuddle without any reaction, it could also be a combination of her pedigree and food. - Eukanuba

The Jersey is a maybe for the kids. I'm Ok with cashmere goats though not in the house.

I don't find reptiles or fish overly cuddly so thus my choice.

2020 - She flies across the ground, I was pretty surprised to see the speed and lack of fear, the sheep were terrified of her and took off. There was a large thunderstorm, her first, she was out running in the rain when the claps of thunder and lightening burst. (Not close enough or I would have put her indoors!)

Look like my pet mmmm well I never liked the beard. Since we are on land she will be clippered all over. The personality attributes of my pet - yes!

Now questions to the forum animal lovers:

WHO HAS PET INSURANCE? ANY COMPANY RECOMMENDED?

She is up to date on all vaccinations and will be desexed January. My friends have spend $$$$$KKKKK repairing their pets.

Accidents and illness - concerned with snake or spider bites

Chops -

Do they scratch or bite ?
