Yeah. You just have to always take walks with your dog. Every day and never give it too much food.

That's the best advice so your dog never will get fat :D

Here's my kitten Twitch.

=3I have a few cats, But. None of them can stay still long enough to take any pictures. :roll:

Mama, Moved in with us a while ago. She's pretty much just a wild cat, Comes in to eat, Has Kittens, Then we adopt out the kittens or sometimes keep a few =3 She's a small tabby cat, And very wild too. She brings in Rats, and Mice, and I've watched her hunt the local Ducks. She never gets them though O.o

N.J. He was Mama's first kitten, He's a very Laid back Male Tabby Cat. He's larger than Mama, actually a rather Huge Cat, He's a little 'Emo' and doesn't like being petted or even noticed... He's awesome though.

Bindi, Named Bindi because he has this little mark on his forehead that looks like a Bindi. He's a Tabby and white male, and he is SEVERELY overweight. We tried to put him on a diet once, But. he kept going into the rubbish to eat T_T so, We gave up.

Litter, He was well... Born in the litter box. He's overweight, like Bindi. He's a large tabby cat, who has a few problems. He's scared of everything, and anyone that goes near him. He gets freaked out when anything makes a noise, and when he eats he somehow gets food stuck on his head :sweat:

Pango, He's a pure black little kitty, with bright green eyes. He's a little nuts, and likes to climb curtains and chase his own tail. He's very wild, and is never inside. So. Not much to say about him. He's just cool. :cool:

Cow, She is a complete cow. She really loves to stalk the other cats, Just so she can beat the shit out of them. She hides under couches, just so she can leap out at me and claw up my legs. I hate her, But. I would never get rid of her.

How cute! <3

I have a sweet little pug by the legal name Precious Tiny Grasshopper, but we call her Puppy. She sweet and lovable, and wouldn't harm a fly. She's never bitten anyone before. She loves walks, cheese and peanut butter on special occasions. ^^

I also have a pretty, obese calico kitty named Chevy, but we often call her Kitty. She's very pretty, mostly black with patches of tawny-orange here and there, except for her tummy and the backs of her legs and paws, up to under her chin is all pure white. She snuggles only when she wants our attention. She's like a lot of other kitties and perfers independence.

Cow: D'aw, kitty after my own heart. xDD I love cows lol

I have 2 cats and a dog.... too lazy to find and upload pictures. XP

@Wulfwynn: Aww! What a cute kitty! :3

@Clair Voyant: I love pugs! Every one I've ever met were really sweet! Though I've never owned one, or any kind of dog... my mom doesn't like them. ):

Anyways... these are (some of) my pets...


This is a picture of my chinchilla Shadow, and my little baby kitty Eli. Eli loves Shadow, though Shadow's still not sure what to think of him. Shadow can be a bit of a grump but he loves people. Eli is shy, but he's a total sweetheart... When he's not running a rampage through the house. :sweat:


This is my family's tubby tabby Sunni... He is almost always grumpy, and usually isn't too friendly.

I also have a second Chinchilla named Chi Chi. I also have two budgies, one named Jingle, the other Shiro... and I have a fish who I just call Fish. :3

Awww twitch is so cute XD

Heres our Black Lab Dixie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5T7q2Z2bI4

The vid is all I have of her.

I also have a tan brendle amstaff named cami.

If you take a look through the first couple of pages of this forum, you'll find a thread about pets already:
http://www.menewsha.com/forum/commun...s-animals.html

I'm going to go ahead and merge this thread with that one and you can continue your discussion there. :D Be sure to check a few pages back to make sure your topic doesn't already have a thread.

Hamlet; that's horrible. I knew we were going to bet putting my three dogs down last year [about a year ago exactly actually] and I was out taking pictures with them one day.. My dad came out to the deck where I was standing and smiled at me with his cup of coffee and i quote said.. "Better take a bunch of pictures with em today, we're putting them to sleep at two" I just kinda stared at him in horror shock. :( it was awful. those pictures turned out great, i was bawling in them and my friend anthony was over and he didn't know how to comfort me.. ha. >_< awful times.

AcidDrop, those are cool names! :) I can't have cats because I'm allergic to some of them, but they're soooo beautiful!

I'm so sorry about your dogs. If you're still out there, I'm curious why your dad had all three of your dogs put to sleep at once?

As for my pets, I've had many. Cats, I just love cats. I've had dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, iguanas, a chameleon, and fish. That's all I can think of at the moment. We've had a few turtles brought home as well. OH, and a baby duck once, too!

Right now, we have a black (mostly)pekingese dog named Shadow, four cats named Prissy, Max, Louis, and Maui, and the latest addition is a blue tailed skink that older son bought home for younger son. Prissy is a fat tortoiseshell who really is a prissy cat, she doesn't like any other cats. Louis, is actually called Vampire Kitty mostly. I got him from a shelter so Max could have a friend. He's black and his claws are so clear they're translucent and you can actually see his fangs pretty clearly out of the bottom of his mouth even when his mouth is shut. Maui is a gray tabby with both stripes and spots, and has the sweetest round little face. Older son brought her home about a month ago. He also brought home my baby Max about a year ago. He's gray and white and has been called demon kitty and tubby as well and he's my darling. He likes to be held over my shoulder with his front paws actually dangling on my back, a holdover from when he was so little he used to ride on my shoulder constantly. He was probably only about 4-5 weeks old when my son found him. Just like a little puppy, if you call him, he WILL come, at least to me!

I forgot to mention that I have a spider named Rosie as well.

@Wulfwynn: A pet spider? Like a tarantula? O.O

okay; i'm mega curious as to what kind of pets all of you guys have? what kinds have you had in the past? what are their personalities like? what's your favorite? what kind of pet would you -like- to have? what kind of animal do you think would make the worst kind of pet?

I just have a one cat right now since I live in a little apartment with my mom. When I lived in my old house, we had 3 cats and two dogs. But the dogs died a long time ago before we got the cats, I think. Which was very sad. But the dogs were very old, so yep. The dogs I had in the past were a beagle and a Carin Terrier. And the other cats are still alive, just in different homes. ): The beagle's personality when it was dying was very active. Haha. The Carin Terrier's personality, was very lazy to me since she wasn't looking so good when I first met her when I was little. The cats's attitudes were pretty much laidback from what I saw. Except for the cat I have now which I had then too, but he is sort of michevious and laidback all at the same time. Haha. (: My favorite pet of the one's that I had, it would have to be the one that was given away to a family I hate to pieces. It was a girl cat, and her name was Pumpkin and my mom gave her to her bf's daughter's family. Bleck. And they named her a really weird name and now she acts weirder than heck. So yeah. D: A pet that I would like to have would either be a dog or a ferret. (: I think the pet that would make the worse kind of pet would be an eel, huge snake, or something very dangerous. So yep. There you go, pets and pets. (: Have a nice day. ^^

=3
I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 hamster, 1 ferret and 4 chickens.
My dogs names are Spots and Coby, Spots is a real attention seeker, and Coby is kinda a sad dog cause he misses his old owners. Spots was a stray dog that we found in the field behind my house.Cats names are Shadow and Pumpkin. Shadow is a really smart cat and Pumpkin is really fat and she just sits around. Shadow was born in my house from my old cat Barbie, and Pumpkin was a stray that I found in the winter hiding in some old blankets outside, parts of her ears and tail fell off due to the cold. My hamster name is Prince, he likes to run on the outside of his wheel and he looks really funny while doing it. My ferrets name is Charlie, I just got him a couple of months ago and he is such a sweetheart. And my chickens are really cute. They fall asleep in your arms when you're holding them.

A axolotl would be a cool pet.
If I ever got one I'd call it Mr.Muddy

@blaze: exactly. ^^

My kitten has just spent the past hour rubbing, kneading and purring on me. LoL

I have 13 Cats. Four of them are kittens. And I have a dog. Well, he does't really count since we are probably getting rid of him today >.< (Land Lord said he was too big).

(Oh my god, thirteen cats!? O.o)
I have two cats, one indoor and one outdoor. My indoor cat is Angel, she's about four years old and a beautiful maine coon. We adopted her from our neighbors because the step-dad was both allergic to cats and hates animals. But they kept the poor cat in the garage (the neighbor's kids would sneak her into their rooms though). She's very skittish and will get scared at the littlest noises, but she is a very lovable cat. And like I said before, she's a very beautiful cat, just like my late-cat Siegfried.
Now my out door cat is named Bonkers, his correct age is unknown but he's less than a year old. We believe he was born in the wild or he was born in someone's house and they abandoned him. We found Bonkers in late April, he was literally skin and bones but the thing is he is so nice people. A very friendly cat to be around (he is a little agressive, but it's in a playful matter). He's a tabby with white boots.
And I also have three red ear slider turtles Roxi (three years old), Sesshomaru, and Kagura (two years old). And lastly, we have a leopard geico named Lulu.

I currently have a ferret named Ritzi. She is a little over a year and loves to case me and my family around the house. She gets into anything that opens and always seems to get stuck in random places...
I also have four kitten that are just over six or seven weeks old. There names are Adventure, Hitler, Savanna, and jungle cat. They are very playful and love to nip toes.
Other pets are Frank and julie which are daddy long legs, they live out in my window well... Gizmo who is a Rat just over a year old, five dogs, Pom pom, Twixee, Daisy, Scooby, and nike witch is also know as smelly because he is old and has no teeth! >w< Oh and i have a pig named Tuba who is the boss around the farm, loves to chase people and Run around, a sheep named Rawr who is mean, a goat named bambie who will head but any thing that comes to close, seven chickens Penguin, Tato, Chippy, Lo lo, Peck, Squirt, and squeaker, Three horses Eddy, Chip, and nicki, and a snake named Fang who loves to climb up pant legs.... :D

The only pet I have is a Shetland Sheepdog named Connor.

Well I am a BIG animal lover so I have 2 cats (Milo and Jasmine), 2 dogs(Axel and Jenna, 1 hamster(Wriley), 1 bunny( Sunny), 1Ball Python named Monty ( Monty python), 1 Leapord Geko(Maxine), and 5 normal hermit crabs(Genral, Sarge, Frankie, Knickers, Luna) and 1 strawberry hermit crab( Big Red). We are thinking of getting a Chinchilla and naming id Sammy, but are trying to decide whether to wait after Sunny, my moms bunny, is gone or not, she is REALLY old.

I wish ferrets weren't outlawed in California. I've wanted one since I was 8!! ;____;

I've had loads of animals over the years, but I live in an apartment and my mum hates cats, so we can't have those. :( I also had a white rabbit for about a week, had a hound for a couple of weeks, loads of fish that died almost immediately xDD;;

My family seems to be reeeally into birds. We started out with an old female cockatiel when I was waaay little. Then my dad bought a younger male and they bred like crazy. We had generations upon generations of the little guys. x] But when we moved, we couldn't bring all of them with us, so we gave most of them away and kept the three youngest ones. Two of them flew away while my sister was at camp 5 years ago. The only one we have left from that huge family is an albino birdie that my sister always hated because she was the black sheep. Or white one in this case ;) Soon she became my sister's best friend but it was very lonely and very anxious ((like the dogs from the Dog Whisperer)) so my sister saved up and bought her a mate. :] They seem happy now. It's cute, kinda, except the new bird was picked at random and it's bug-eyed. D:

We've also had 3 parakeets but they died long ago. We had 2 finches but one of them died from shock ((couldn't lay an egg)) and her mate died soon thereafter due to heartbreak :( We got two last month ((yeah, we had a pet-buying extravaganza >.< )) and now they've laid 7 eggs xD
We also have a ringneck dove that we took in after the neighbours found her with an injured leg ((that's never healed properly, so we can't release her into the wild))

And I got my very first pet last month too. n____n

HAMSTER!!

Hamster's don't seem to like us. The last 3 we had ((one right after the other, cos my sisters would go into depressions when they died...)) escaped all the time and died in freak accidents. D: The first one ate poisoned food that was left out for the ants, the second one found its way into THE WASHING MACHINE of all places and drowned in the water that was left at the bottom. The last one actually died kind of normally. From wet tail, which is apparently very common with hamsters, but it was still saddening. My mum made us swear after we got the first hamster that we wouldn't get another... but we did ;) After the third one, I felt really bad so I honestly wasn't going to get one ever again. But we went to get my sisters their new birds and I couldn't help myself. My Baby was climbing his wire cagey like CRAZY and being a little fuzzy brat. >u<
I'm taking really good care of my Baby. >:U Been doing lots of reading on hamsters and I give him fresh water and nice clean food very often. :angel:

I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. Bella Donna, a Yorkie mix. Merlin, a blue merle sheltie. And Cosmo, a tri-color sheltie. We used to have 2 more sable shelties, but one died of cancer (Laddie) and the other 1 (Starr) was stolen. OH! And my cat Momas. She's pure white, and I have no idea what breed.

Ah ok. ^_^ I've always wondered what it'd be like to own one... My little sister is terrified of spiders so I could never get one. D; Though I might be a little freaked out myself to be honest.

Aww my kitten does that. <3

I had a white rabbit, named Momiji but the poor died by a heat stroke last June, I miss the TT because it was the only pet that I have left in my lifetime.

Currently I have five cats: Koby and Noah are orange tabby brothers. Noah's a long haired while Koby is a short hair. :] Then we have Harrison who is a long haired black tabby. And then we got Serafina who is a long hair but extremely small. And last but not least, is Sasha. A stray black cat I forced my parents to let me bring home from California. :3

We had a pomeranian for about three months--really he was my sister's dog. I'm really not a dog person so I didn't like him very much. Visually he was very cute. ..until I saw him eat his own poop. But eventually my sister realized that a dog was too much work and responsibility so she ended up giving him to Haven Humane.

Before Koby and Noah, the only pets I'd had are beta and crayfish (<--from a third grade, school project xD)
