Don't make me take you pet shopping. :lol:
Also, we have three turtles, apparently - but I'm too lazy to go outside and take a picture of their tank.
We also has fishes, but they're in my parents' bedroom.

You guys have cute animals. I has none. :cry:Yeah he's a beagle but a total runt. Most people think he's a puppy but the vet said he's atleast three years old. Found him tied to a cinder block half starved so I brought him home. A $1000 later he is healthy and way too hyper for me.Found this lil fucker at the beach. Anybody want him?
Is that a beagle?
beagle
way too hyper for me.
Well...look at me...we've got a zoo going here. :lol:
Any particular variety of pets you'd come home with? :P

Since I can't get a pterodactyl these days, I'd probably go with a couple of puppies of some sort.
My apartment doesn't allow dogs, and requires a couple hundred bucks extra for cats, so my girlfriend has mice instead.

Here's Pete, post run today. Pardon the mess on the carpet. After we got home from the river, he spent five minutes rolling around on the carpet, shedding like crazy, then passed out, snoring. He's looking rather groggy, and possibly sheepish. He woke up after I answered the door to sign for a package, and completely missed out on his normal thrill of beating the doorbell.

Yeah, I can't resist.

My dog made me drive him to Riverside Park on Sunday. I was just going to take him for a run through the neighborhood, but he jumped in the truck when I got the leash, and wouldn't get out.
Okay, so I didn't try that hard to drag him out. How could anyone tell that face he doesn't get to go scampering through creeks?
Sorry, didn't mean to put a damper on things. :?

This is Akosha. She is not my pet, but I kind of wish she were. She belongs to nobody. She is staying at our house because my boyfriend's brother's not-so-bright girlfriend, who has three small kids and is living with her mother, asked her mother if she could have a dog and was apparently told "yes"....only to hear a couple of weeks later that the answer is now "no." So now Akosha is being shuffled from house to house (she's been here for two weeks) while B's brother's girlfriend tries to find a permanent place for her to live.
Unfortunately, we are really not equipped to take a dog right now. Especially not a puppy (husky/wolf mix, I'm told) who will no doubt grow to be much bigger than this. She's very sweet and well-mannered for a puppy, and I'm sure she could be a great dog for someone with the time and the space. But well.....we just don't have either at this point. But if there is anyone in the DFW area who does, you might message me.
Today my I let one of my ferrets out of his cage and placed him in a litter box. He pretended to use it then ran away so I picked him up and put him in again, where he pretended again. Three or so minutes later I saw him make a beeline for my futon and I caught him peeing behind it :( :( :( :( :(
To get him to use the litterbox I give him a treat every time he uses it, but now he just fakes it to get a treat...
My birthday present:
Yeah, it's dark, sorry....thought the flash might scare him. He's pretty timid now, and that's no surprise-- being taken from your sisters and brothers, having your wings clipped and your nails trimmed, being put into a small cardboard box and driven for a while on occasionally bumpy roads, and then being put into a new cage to live with a stranger will probably do that to you.
He doesn't have a name yet-- I'm waiting for him to show a personality. So far he hasn't done much except for twittering in response to some videos of parakeets I brought up on Youtube.
Happy Birthday!
Any bird names yet? He looks kinda blue, what about Skyler? :)

Seconding the Happy Birthday, but turning up nose at name choice.
Wait for the personality to come through before naming. (And if Skyler turns out to suit the personality of your feathered friend, I withdraw my objection.)

FAILGASM!!!
Pets, Harry Potter, straws / twizzlers, crappy photography, lame attempts at motivational posters, two spaces where there should be none or a dash - this has all the things I hate (except government) in one image! :x
The tiles are nice though. I like tiles.
Timeline of reasons why I can't own a pet:
- 1981 .. 2000 - my parents wouldn't allow it.
- 2000 .. 2006 - my landlord wouldn't allow it.
- 2007 .. 2010 - tax resisters shouldn't own pets.
Not that I ever wanted one as an adult.
Animals are not warm fuzzy things that exist for your amusement, they are a force of nature that cannot be reasoned, bargained, or pleaded with; that wants to steal your food, infect you with its diseases, and even chew you up if it could!
Robin do you trick you pets into a false sense of security--->then eat them:)only the ones made of beef and pork.... mr. kite is safe from becoming meatloaf or bacon :D but yes, the animals raised on the farm here are for food. until they meet their demise they are treated like family. the cows always like a good scratch behind the ears and the baby will even play hide and seek behind a wall in his stable... the pigs are awesome because you can train the to go on walks with a leash and harness just like a dog.
and mr kite was only on that plate because that is how he likes to eat his bananas.... on fancy service dishes hahahahaha
we had the two pigs, and two more cows but they have been eaten. at first it disturbed me to eat animals that had names and hung out with my kids but i have to say it was the best meat i ever had.

What, when Burns night (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_supper) was just a few days ago? Methinks your friend is not a true Scot!
Just kidding....living in Germany might have caused him to forget. :)
Seems Maine Coonish', my sister has one she got from shelter.

Closest I ever got to finding what her breed is was a Turkish Angora. Not big enough for a Maine Coon, and doesn't really display any of their traits.
She looks like she might scratch up your back as well. Careful.
This is Max

Ever have a fish tank?
Ever have a fish tank?
I can't even remember.
But I remember one time when I was fucking high out of my mind, sitting on a friend's couch, and watching some unfortunate display of a yellow bird trying to fly around in a tiny bird cage. It became the topic of discussion and everybody was throwing in their two cents, while fucked out of our minds.
And then this dude I never liked said, "The bird doesn't know any better"... and I felt like saying, "YOU don't know any better!" ...but I didn't say it, because I was too high to give a shit.

Wow, crazy shit man.
I want some pet ducks. Or maybe just a pond with some ducks. Or loons.
Are you calling me out R3?
I'll address your post in a day or two. I am curious to see what others have to say.
In the mean time, can you catch one of those spiders in the corner and post a photo to keep with the spirit of a fairly innocent thread.
My daughter's hamster seems to consider it her mission to torture one of the dogs. She follows him around, hangs out in front of his food dish, bounces the exercise ball off him when he's napping... frankly, he's a little freaked out by her.

Which is what was happening here. Cliffy was sound asleep, with Annabeth rolling repeatedly into his head and front paws. When he woke up and started to roll into position to hop up & flee, she rolled right onto his back leg, leaving the dopey dog "pinned" to the door.
I was hoping some people would tell stories about pets that answered way above the call of duty. It didn't happen.
Some animals can imprint on humans, some can't.
You have a small window with domestic cats as to whether they can be completely tame or not. If a cat doesn't get a good impression of a human in it's first 6 months or so, it will never be really tame. It might take food or trust to a certain degree but it won't "love" any human like a tame one will. Cheetahs do the same thing and they have never been bred to any large degree.
There are many cases where someone tried to use non domesticatable animals as pets and it went very wrong. Especially bears and tigers which suddenly click and decide to eat the trainer/owner for lunch. African elephants are not domesticated Asians are. That's why circuses can't use African elephants anymore (they used to, hence the going berserk incidents)
Dogs started out as beasts of burden, they earned their right to be thought of as members of the family in western culture. The dogs devotion to its "owner" (from the dogs perspective "pack leader") is legendary. Dogs will literally die to protect the "pack". In Montana, where I grew up, there have been many documented incidents where dogs attacked a grisly bear or mountain lion (a fight even a big dog has a snowballs chance in hell of winning) to protect the "pack". That sort of devotion is as good a definition of "love" as I can come up with.

Anyone who doesn't ever put themselves at some risk doesn't live at all. You are right, having a pet is risky. So is leaving a rubber room. Animals are capable of loving, that's my argument, not "life isn't dangerous."
(I can also pluck a juicy steak out of his mouth if I want to, that is really rare)In order to do something like that, you usually have to train them as a puppy. For my dog I would take its food away completely randomly while it was eating and pretend to eat it myself. My dog had to know it was MY food it was eating. Then I would pet my dogs back and around its head while it was eating and sneak up on it to give it praise just in case someone else were to walk up frombehind and try messing with my dog while it was eating. The result: zero problems in this area.
If Animals "love" because of breeding explain the cheetah.
Maybe. Dogs also are relatives of animals that run in family units "packs". I heard a trainer explain that humans merely replaced the "pack" from the dogs perspective. A dog thinks it's family is made up of other dogs.
I'd tell the dog to get off the god damn couch, but it would just ignore me, and then I would go to pick her up to put her on the floor, and she wouldn't let me touch her and start growling like crazy, and snap at my hands.
What you should have done the very first time it growled and snapped at you was to grab it carefully around the muzzle and bite its ear hard enough to cause it to yelp. This process would have to be repeated until the dog learned it was actually below you in the pack order. Doing the ear/bite training it never takes long for the dog to learn as this the what its mother or another dog would do. It is like speaking their language.
We were also told to never let the dog push in front of us when walking into a room or heading out the door. A slight shove to the side (or stsrong, if pup has gotten a bit big for his fuzzy britches), while very pointedly looking away from the dog lets it know that you are in charge. Refusing to look at the dog while you do sends the message "you're not part of the pack right now."
People tend to blame the animal for what amounts to ignorance or indifference by the owner to the proper care of the animal.
Clifford is one nice looking dog. He is a Collie, yes?

Sofie is giving Mix half of a cracker in this photo. I find it interesting how careful he is. He is much more snappy with me or another adult. But with the baby he is extremely careful.
If I put one between my teeth, he'll nearly bite my lip off to get to it

Uhm... maybe you should try tossing them to him.

Delta - starting to get older...
Mortimer Brewster Shaw is adorable! Congratulations on the new addition, and such a great name.

Snapping turtle. Bigger than your hand.
Where would you rescue reptiles like monitor lizards and anacondas from?
Bet your doggy was ready for a power-nap after that one.
That is a very tiny catbutt.
