Uh, i dunno if theres already a thread for this, sorry if there is, but yeah.

Title says it all really? anyone else here have any pets? if so, what you guys got?

Right now, i have a Cat, who we've had since i was like, 6 or 7 or something, who's name is Stripy (Guess what kind of patterns on her fur she has)... i named her and actually she was brought cause i really wanted a cat...... even though now she seems to hate me D:

I used to have a rabbit called Bugs (as in bugs bunny, he was grey, get it? uhhurrhurr), but sadly he passed away a couple of years ago... He was a weird rabbit though... He used to chase birds, headbutt people and generally make a nuisance of himself.

The newest addition to our family are my two absolute darling babies. Hermin and Cthulhu, my two Land Hermit Crabs <3 Hermin's a Purple Pincher, and I'm not overly sure what Cthulhu is. Hermin's the less shy of the two, and he generally likes to make a nuisance of himself by banging against the glass of his terrarium, and when you hold him, he seems to enjoy climbing up onto peoples shoulders. Cthulhu is a lot shyer, he takes a while to come out when we hold him, but he can be as much of a nuisance as Hermin when he wants (such as crawling up my top, and refusing to come out by pinching my skin...)
To be honest, i wouldn't have them any other way, i kinda spoil them and treat them as if they where my children or something. XD Before anyone asks, they don't actually pinch that much actually, in fact, they're really quite gentile.
I used to have a 3rd called Cuddles, but he unfortunately died about a week after i got them. I suspect he had been suffering from Post Pet Shop Stress (something Crabs suffer from a lot apparently) and while i did everything i could to help him it wasn't really enough. ):

If your curious too, i have a vid of my hermit crabs here. Me and my friend decided we wanted to try racing them so filmed it. XD She ended up putting this vid together and uploading it to youtube.

Buuutttt. enough about my crabs... What pets do you guys own? If you don't have any, what would you LOVE to have as a pet (*ahemhermitcrabsahem*)

I had no clue crabs could be pets. I own birds. I wish I could have a dog, but I wouldn't want to leave him by himself during the day, not to mention that I do not know where I'll live for the duration of the dog's life. Plus, I'd have to carefully choose him since I have some allergies.

I have 1 cat named Twinkle. Had her for 11 years nearly half my life. Hates hugs but loves sitting on the bed with you and purrs when brushed x3. Since getting the rabbits she's not around much anymore, she's scared of them all. Funny sometimes her shyness reminds me of me, miss her company v.v.

7 rabbits. Snowie, Stuart, Snuggles, Snuffes, Scruff, Buttons and Blackie. Most were rescues.

Snowie is timid when carried but loves strokes, comes up to the cage door for a kiss and is a beautiful little thing. Since being with Stuart, she's a world load happier. flops on her back when she's really content and wouldn't hurt a fly...unless it was on her. She nibbles, ouch.

Stuart is a tubby rabbit who won't stop eatting. and could be stroked all day long. He suffered from a bowels bug that stopped him and his sister Janny going a toilet. got so bad his intestines swelled and he cried. managed to get him something and helped them both, though i'm sure nearly starving is why he eats so much.

Snuggles likes to clean himself, though he's bossy around other bunnies, had to seperate him from Snowie because he kept licking the fur around her eyes away. He likes attention but it sucks i can't hook him up he's lonely.

Snuffles is....a dog, place her on the sofa she will not move from it, plus she is very smart and listens to everything you say. lost an eye from some enlarged zit, then suffered a minor stroke but she's okay now.

Scruff is EVIL jk had her since she was a baby. She's like a cat, used to run around your feet and up to you whenever you enter the room. Affectionate but bites a lot, mostly when scared.

Buttons, licks my face. Is a little baby and clings to you. Loves running around the home and is a little explorer, not to mention messing up the place and peeing everywhere. She has a lung bug, vets don't think she'll live to old age...

Blackie is a tiny dwarf bunny with character. runs free and wriggles and leaps off heights like a crazed dare devil. He was starving, blisters on his feet, overgrown nails and overgrown teeth. He died on the operating table but survived. Nearly died again on another operation and suffered a stroke too. But he's a fighter and recovered from all that. Teeth are acting up again so not much they can do now, only got a couple months.

...If you're wondering why i have so many, blame my mom. 4 was final for me but she couldn't stop @_@

here is a relitivly receant pic of my dog, she is mostly shi-tsu and some mini amarican eskimo. and a lot of fur.

this was taken after the last time I cut her fur and had it turn out not bad, a week or so ago I had to shave her right down, for the summer heat.

I have three cats.
Two are seven and one just turned two.

The two older cats are Star - a short-haired brown-tabby (she was actually born on the streets, but she sure is a cutie) - and Genie - a long-haired black and white ragdoll (who drools when she purrs, lawls). They were both adopted from the local shelter.

Here's a pic of them on my dog's bed, lawls. (This was back on the Christmas of '06.)


The youngest is Mona, who looks similar to Genie, but her fur is much more frizzy (and her bottom jaw is black). She was born in our backyard and is the most affectionate cat I have ever seen. Oh, one time she was trying to jump on the bathroom counter, but she missed and fell in the toilet. xD Silly.

And here is the adorable Mona.


...Yeah, I mentioned the dog bed, so I must have a dog, right? Sadly, this was true until the fall of '08. I did have a dog by the name of Lady Bugg - a short-haired Black Lab - Border Collie mix who was adorable, overweight, and so friggin' smart. Sadly, she developed cancer in her stomach. They were able to remove it the first time, but it reappeared a month later (two weeks after her 14th birthday) and she had to be put down because of how bad it had become. :c I miss her a lot sometimes (considering I had her since I was four)...

...but honestly, we had obtained Mona about three months before Lady Bugg's passing, and, well...Mona acts strangely just like a dog. People say there are reasons for things to happen, and I'm beginning to believe them. (As I am typing this, Mona is snoozing on my desk behind my comic books, lawls)


MONA VS. THE SINISTER GECKO!

Lol, the sinister gecko.
I have had a dog, a few fish, and one kitten. The dog was a golden retriever (At least I think she was...) and she was very playful. (My dogs name was Girl... Couldn't come up with a better name.. O_o ) Than my mama gave her to the pound. -_-
Then there are the fish, My older bro and I had two leeches, My little brother had a black fish and a white one, and My little sister had a few little black and white fish. Than, in a few weeks, they died. O_o I think we over feed them.
Last, Me and my little bro had two kittens (named Tiger and Rosie), but we had too give them away 'cause my older brother (Faram) is allergic to cats. And since then, we have had no pets. I would like another dog, but not one as big as my old dog.

Right now me and my little sis have a gray hampster named Teddy. He got that name because he's a type of hamster called a teddy bear hampster. HE IS JUST TOO CUTE!

My moms cat, our cat! Her name is Nala and is about 15 years old.
