Title: Got any pets?
Post by: Lovux The Great on August 03, 2010, 11:54:07 am
As the title suggest, I hereby as you if you got any pets. If you do, then pease do tell! Talk about them, what you love about them and maybe what shenanigans they have caused you through the years. If you don't own any pets, what kind of animals would you want? Everything goes, as long as it's pet-related! ;D

As for my family, we own a dog; an eight months old flat-coated retriever puppy whom we call Ricky, though his full name is High Hope's Music Man (hence the nickname Ricky, there's just NO WAY we'll call him by THAT corny pedigree name!). He's our first dog ever - for the longest time, my four siblings and I have wanted a dog or a cat, but for various reasons plus hesitation/bias from our parents, we never had any pets (aside from rabbits we had in cages in our garden). So in march this year, my siblings and I did a coup and bought the at the time four months old Ricky and gave him to our parents as a surprise gift! Sure, our parents were shocked and highly against it at first, but now they can't help but love that black rascal. (Read the full story HERE on my deviantART (http://www.lovux-the-great.deviantart.com/journal/31060833/))
Ricky is quite calm and eager to learn, even for a flat-coated retriever. He's so lucky he gets to live in a great environment such as ours - we're talking roughly 8,000 square meters of land for him to run freely on! He's also been to a dogshow when he was six months, where he got the prize "Best among his race" but he WAS the only flattie competiting... and the judges told us he looked nearly perfect! So we hope that he'll win many prizes in the future. :P Ricky also loves tracking and -what else?- retrieving stuff for us. This autumn, we'll train him more intensely to be a retrieving dog, so dad can bring him along when he's hunting.
But, even if he would fails as a show-dog and hunting dog, we'd still love him... He's our honey, Ricky-boy, of course!

Yep, that was what I had to say about our Ricky... now it's your turn to tell us about YOUR pet! ;)

When I was growing up, we couldn't have pets because we were all allergic to them -- but we did have hamsters for awhile, as well as laboratory mice and rats.  We also kept various snakes!  I remember with fondness our boa constrictor, named BC.   :D  In case you are wondering, my dad was an 8th grade science teacher, so our pets tended be of the type that got used in science class!

Well, one of my older brothers wasn't allergic per say, but he was heavily asmathic (luckily he grew out of it, otherwise we would have no Ricky!), so we could never have pets, not even rodents like those you describe; hamsters, mice and rats... You need to keep them in cages inside your house, right? Well, keeping (furry) animals in our rooms was a big no-no in my family, so no rodents except the rabbits. But I always wanted a snake! Or a lizard! Now I'm a litte jealous of you. ;) I've always loved reptile animals (crocodiles being my favourites, but those don't make very good pets, you know...), so having my own snake/lizard/turtle/whatever has always been a dream to me. How was your BC? He must have been a kind fellow if you remember him with fondness. :P

I hope you get a nice reptile someday!  They seem to make decent pets, and are definitely not hard on the allergies.

BC was a very nice snake.  He wasn't a big one, so even when he went into "constrictor" mode, he wasn't a problem to hold.  He was our favorite of the snakes we kept -- he wasn't very demanding, just needed a wee mouse for lunch every day or so.   ;)  So we also had lab mice as pets, and they were okay, too, but they tended to nip our fingers with their sharp little teeth when we played with them!  The ones that nipped too hard got to be BC 's lunch.  :D

I currently do not own any pets nor am i planning to right now.

As for in my childhood, we first had a dog which i don't remember much at all other than that he or she, as i don't remember that detail, was quite big and white. Later, we had a bird and a few years later a dog along with it. Now this dog we kept for nearly 10 years. She was a white toy poodle named Maggie and we loved her very much. Unfortunately, in 1999's winter, while out for a piss during a snowstorm, she disappeared and we never saw any trace of her since. We later had our first cat for about year and also got to see her give birth to a few kittens we sold/gave. After that, we took in a new toy poodle for a few years.

Well, I had a few fishes... but they all eventually died. = m = ;;
And then I had this really pretty blue bird... but then my dad insisted that it be placed outside and rats killed it. o :

I wish I could have a cat, but the townhouse wherein I live disallows such pets. : |

Since I was a child that I had lots of dogs and cats, which is also the reason that I've got a lot of bite marks, lol. Now, I've a 5 years old dog that is a mixture of pitbull with a retriever. She is really smart and understands most of what we say to her, which is a reason to some good laughes. There was even this time, at lunch, that I said as a joke to her that we would pick up my younger brother at school. When it was about 5PM, she started barking at me and pointing with her nose to the street door and it was usually at that hour that I went to pick up my brother. She never asked to take a walk, so it was quite funny to see her doing that at that exact time.

I also have a cat called Palhaço (clown in Portuguese), but he is more attached to my mother. He runs away from me, lol.

Currently have 2 cats. Lola and Merlin. They are black, oriental mix, with golden green eyes. Brother and sister, I adopted them from the SPCA. There was a lady there (twice my age at the time, accompanied by a small child) who was trying to adopt only the sister and split them up. I convinced her otherwise.

Oriental cats are vocal, but mine don't have piercing voices like siamese do. They talk/sing all the time, and prance instead of run, and are spoiled with expensive commercial raw food, catnip, toys galore, grooming brushes....

I'm allergic to cats, but because I have lived with them ever since I was a child, I have a built-up resistance to them. Opening windows, air filters, wood floors and frequent washing of bedding is all I need!

I used to have a bunch of fish... They all died...

I used to have a dog, but it was kind of... what's the word I'm looking for... rabid? Not really... It wasn't exactly the obedient type, so we gave it away....

I had a cat (it was a stray kitten we found in the garage.) When it grew older it ran away...

My pets never last (tho my mom plans to get a new dog sometime)

We have a pet bird, which my younger brother got for Christmas last year, but I want to free him because it's from the wild and I feel so sorry for it for being caged. My brother won't let me tho :(

I have a corn snake

Snakes are good pets!  I think we had a corn snake once, too -- and my dad had a boa constrictor for awhile.  He was a science teacher and so we had lots of interesting pets that eventually made there way to his interesting animal display at school.   ;)

Had a dog that died some years ago, 15 years of fun that was. And I just know that I will get a dog again some time in my live time.
