Animals

[nicholasburrus]

Hey y'all what is your favorite animal?

Where does it live?

What is the history of it?

What group does it belong to?

[lazy cat]

I love cats...and especially my cat Sassy she's beautiful:)

[fayefaye]

I like penguins. Those things are adorable.

[Stanislaw]

Canada Goose. Comes form Canada...is a goose. Tastes good.

[nicholasburrus]

I like guiena pigs it is orignally from South America and the Natives used to eat them and sacrifice them to the gods. The animal group is a rodent but Guiena pigs look like a baby pig. In the U.S.A. we breed them for $$$ cause they are expensive and a cage costs $180 and has to be cleaned twice a week

I like them too

[Stanislaw]

Guieni pigs, in canada they are fairly cheap.

Penguins are cool, I had a chance to pet one they are a very dosile animal.

[nicholasburrus]

Lucky you here in the United States they want $20 for it that is alot i can get a cat for 25 cents

[Stanislaw]

Here in Canada At the spca you can get a cat or dog for free.

[Jay]

Horses, rats, dogs... lots and lots of animals...

[nicholasburrus]

How is it in Canada

[nicholasburrus]

It is boring in America

[Stanislaw]

I would say it is great *bragging* but that would be only partly true. Canada can be boring in the cities but the wilderness is beutifle. I like American shopping centers and beaches. Especially Hawaii. It is a nice place and is the home state of Akibono. Although Canada does have some very nice coast.

[nicholasburrus]

Lucky all of our wilderness has been torn down

[Stanislaw]

That is really sad.:( .

I grew up in the forest (raised by wolves an all), we only had to walk about 50 yards to see trees. Logging and mining is so destructive, it just makes me sick.

[crisaor]

I like tigers. They carry the writing of God on themselves. They live in Siberia, Bengal, and other places.

[Stanislaw]

Tigers are my chinese zodiak. What is yours?
Tigers are awesome, it's too bad so many are being killed by poachers.

[crisaor]

I know, it's a f***ing disaster.:mad:
I'd have to double check it, but I think it's dog.

[Stanislaw]

I hate all the poachers. It is so pointless, if they put all the effort they put into poaching itno farming, they wouldn't need to hunt endangered animals.

[Jay]

Well, if I'm not mistaken, I'm a pig, I mean in the Chinesee zodiac ;)

[Isagel]

I think I am a rabbit, according to the chinese zodiac.

My favorite animal is the cat. Second favorite is humans.

Then hegdehogs.

There is an old poem about them, something like:

By troubles over large and small
I turned more and more into an hedgehogball.
Really do not want to be bitten
even if I´m strange and little

[Jay]

:D LOL :D Isagel, second fav humans! Great point there btw. ;)

[IWilKikU]

I have this theory that cats are actually spies that have been sent from the 'other side' to watch us and report back to the prime watchers whenever they catch us doing somthing bad. Seriously, look at one's face. They're not cute or cuddly. They always look annoyed and disgusted with you.

[azmuse]

Yes they're sent from the other side; they are Deities

[nicholasburrus]

I don't like humans not even myself in this world I have only two wishes
ONE:Unlimited wishes
TWO:The world is free of itself

[nicholasburrus]

Wish I had a genie also

[Jay]

well, you covered that in the Unlimited wished thingy...

[Azoic]

Yeah, I wish I had everything too. I want the world, AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!! (thanks Jim Morrison)

I'm living with a cat, but it's still pretty young (untrained deity?). It seems cute an cuddly in the face, unless it's being chased by my 120 lb. (8.5 stone/55kilo(?)) Rottweiler. Then it just has a look of determination (determined to let the humans to do all the work. Gosh is that dog hard to hold back).

[IWilKikU]

let the dog catch it. It will make everyones life alot better. The dog gets to eat a cat, you dont get spied on anymore, and the cat is released from its service to whatever being from the other side that keeps it in checkmate and forces it to spy on you!

[Isagel]

I remember this poem about a cat but I can´t remember who wrote it:

My kitten walks
on velvet feet
and makes no sound at all
and in the doorway nightly sits
to watch the darkness fall
I think he loves the lady night
and feels akin to her
whos footsteps are
as light as his
whos touch as soft as fur.

[azmuse]

carl sandberg as a wild guess? it sounds like his fog moving in on little cat feet...or someone inspired by him.

[Isagel]

Found it ! It´s called:

NIGHT and is written by Lois Weakley McKay

[azmuse]

I have "Cat Love Letters," a very cute collection of the Gods meowing amongst themselves

[nicholasburrus]

Chimps are not bad

[IWilKikU]

Word! Lemme give a shout out to all my chimp homeys on the east side!!!

[bbq13]

ei stanislaw... maybe i should go to canada one of these days... i think im gonna love the goose there too... what other animals do they have there?

[crisaor]

Grizzly bears.

[IWilKikU]

and the majestic moose!

[RobinHood3000]

Favorite Dinosaurs: Utahraptor and Ankylosaurus.

The ultimate in speed and defense, respectively, with offensive capabilities that would put the Tyrant Lizard King to shame.

[starrwriter]

My favorite animals are cats -- all cats, but especially big cats (except lions, the only cats that are not loners.)

The ancient Egyptians worshipped cats because they considered them mystical creatures. I think the Egyptians were onto something. Cats seem to exist in a different realm. And notice how cautiously and gracefully they move in our realm.

Outside of zoos, I have only seen big cats twice "in person." One was a pet ocelot in a Florida shop I used to frequent. Native to South America, he was a German shepard-size cat who used to maul me playfully, not realizing his own strength or the sharpness of his claws.

The other big cat was a Florida panther in the Everglades. He looked exactly like a western cougar and luckily he was caged. It's illegal to keep Florida panthers as pets since they are an endangered species, but I was grateful I didn't encounter this huge cat in the wild.

In Costa Rica I searched the rainforest for margeys, which are slightly smaller than ocelots. Unfortunately, margeys are mainly nocturnal and I never found one because I wasn't up to tramping through the venomous snake-filled jungle at night.

When I was in Sri Lanka (Ceylon), I heard horror stories about leopards dragging children into the bush from remote villages, but the only leopard I saw was in a zoo in the capital of Colombo.

Some day I hope to see the biggest cat of all, a Bengal tiger. But only if I have a rifle in my hand. They eat people in India and Bangladesh on a regular basis.

[RobinHood3000]

If I'm not mistaken, the biggest cat is actually the Siberian tiger.

[Weeping Willow]

My favorite animal is a giraffe.
Did you notice they have antennas !!! that is so cool !

[starrwriter]

If I'm not mistaken, the biggest cat is actually the Siberian tiger.
You're right, the Siberian tiger is slightly larger than the Bengal. But there's no way I'm hiking through the snows of Siberia. I'm strictly a tropical man. A 600-pound Bengal male is a big enough cat for me.

[Nightshade]

Ah wow someone else in love with giraffes!
did you know the end of there tounge is black and prickly and there spit stinks??

;) :lol:
anyway I have a question about crows, does anyone know if to handle a crow you need falconers gloves like with owls, buzzards, vultures and hawks?

oh and did you know there is very very little know about owls and most that is know is now thought to be misconseptions?

[Pensive]

My favourite animal is Rabbit. I am not into animals much...but some animals are really cute.

[starrwriter]

My favourite animal is Rabbit. I am not into animals much...but some animals are really cute.
I like rabbit, too. Deep fried in tempura batter.

[RobinHood3000]

:eek: :eek2: :eek: :eek2: :eek:

Look out!! It's Elmer Fudd!! Run for your lives, bunnies!!

[Riesa]

you guys are hilarious, I was trying to explain this thread to my husband, he says he'd rather run around the corner and shoot someone(online game playing). So I am alone in my giggling at the computer screen.

As for animals, I love them, eaten or otherwise ;)
I have Two pregnant Mini donkeys, a Pug, two cats and I'm waiting for my Austrailian Shepard to be old enough to take home. His eyes are just now opening. I take riding lessons, and I quote " the outside of the horse is good for the inside of man". Winston Churchill

[Virgil]

Wow, you have lots of pets. I have a two year old, yellow labrador. I too had to wait for her until she was old enough to be taken from her mom.

[Aurora Ariel]

I don't think Elmer Fudd is welcome in Sherwood forest!Ha!Did you know that deep fried batter is actually really unhealthy?!Better watch that male
middle-age spread.;)So greasy-yuck!I'll have the rabbit's carrot and lettece, thanks!:)

My favourite marine animals are dolphins, and my favourite forest animals include fawns and squirrels .I once swam with some ethereal dolphins.I also love snow leopards, and faery penguins, and all farm animals, such as dogs, lambs, ducks, pigs, cows, donkeys, lamas, emus, kangaroos, and wallabies, etc.I would never consume any animal, when there are other sources of nourishment available.I'll just avoid the post above.;) I have a personal penchant for vegetables, grains, tofu, and fruit (wildberries especially).
I am also captivated by watching birds, and I particularly like doves, and native birds.Has anyone seen the Birds of Paradise?

[Helga]

I think I don't have a fave... except my dog Mr.Spock.
He is my everything!!! But alltime fave... I kinda like the Seahorse. don't know why, the Kangaroo too.

[Aurora Ariel]

Also, does anyone else like dinosaurs?If we are talking extinct species I would have to say dinosaurs, wooly mammoths, and Tasmanian tigers. I loved the Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus as a young child.I always had a special fondness for the vegetarian-friendly sauropods, but I do agree that the fearsome flesh-loving dinosaurs can be incredibly interesting to study.To be specific, I like some of the herbivorous ones such as Diplodocus and Camarasaurus.I actually viewed a fossile, at an exhibition, of what is probably the first bird, Archaeopteryx, from the Jurassic period, earlier this year.There were many enormous carnivourous dinosaurs on display as well.And I remember the seeing the
T-Rex at the museum from a really young age.It was thrilling.

[RobinHood3000]

I repeat: Utahraptor and Ankylosaurus are the mightiest of dinosaurs! :cool:

[Nightshade]

neer really seen the greatness of dinosours barring the nessie and the dragon of course

:D

[Shea]

My husband and I were given a young pair of Love Birds as a wedding gift and we named them Ozzie and Harriett. We tried a cat for about 2 months but Leo discovered he was mildly allergic; just enough so that we had to give him back. We are planning on getting a dog (soon Jay! :D ), probably just by going to the pound and picking out a lovable one. I've never had a dog of my own before, my parents were always cat and bird people. I worked for a Dachshund breeder for 2 years and I wanted so much to take one of the puppies home with me! The lady I worked for apparently sold the rights and many of the breeders to a farm in Alabama http://www.doxieland.com/. We would spend hours taking puppy pics and posting them on the site every week. It was so much fun!

[RobinHood3000]

Birds of Prey: Also cool.

[Nightshade]

Birds of Prey: Also cool.
yes very very true
owls hawks buzzards crows

:D :nod:

[starrwriter]

My husband and I were given a young pair of Love Birds as a wedding gift and we named them Ozzie and Harriett.
If your love birds ever have two male hatchlings, you could name them Rickie and Dave.

(50s TV was so cool: Dad went to work and made lots of money, Mom stayed home where she belonged and cooked/cleaned, and the kids played in a front yard surrounded by a white picket fence. No wife beaters or teens on dope -- except in the real world.)

Og the caveman says: "50s TV world good. 50s real world bad."

"The Birds" was enough to scare me off.

After watching that movie, I did never imagine having birds for a pet. (not that I was a big fan of birds before)

I'm with you. I agree with W. C. Fields' opinion of birds. He hated them and called them "damned reptiles" because they lay eggs like reptiles. They also spread pandemic diseases.

[rachel]

i love cats. we rescued one we called Pretty boy because he was neutered and had an air that he actually knew he was pretty. When we first rescued him we let him sleep in the living room on a big cozy chair. Clayton's room was just off to the side. He closed the door and went to sleep. About an hour later he heard heavy puffy breathing and continued banging against the door. He opened it and Pretty was exhausted from trying to get the door opened to get in. Clayton comforted him then closed the door and put some furniture against it. Pretty hurled himself against the door for half an hour until he dislodged it some how. Then he pushed with all his might and somehow got inside the room and laid down beside Clayton who was too tired to argue. After that if Clayton dared to move Pretty snarled and whined and got super angry. What a cat
I love horses as well and like to ride. Hate the thought of big cats in captivity and am furious that Thailand and China eat rare animals.
I like the Triceratops, can't spell it but like it.
Deep fried, Starr do you have a mean gene in your dna or what? yes keep him out of the forest m'lord or the animals will have to flee to lesser ground.

[starrwriter]

Bunnies are made for eating. They taste like chicken.
*Does his best Homer Simpson imitation, drooling*
Ummmm ... bunnies.

I even raised bunnies in cages when I lived in the rainforest. TO EAT! Raised chickens and one pig as well. Also hunted wild pigs and ate frogs' legs! Neighbors called me Jungle Jim.

[AimusSage]

I like playboy bunnies :angel:

To be honest, I actually don't like most of them, they look so fake and with all those modifications it's hard to tell if they were actually ever human.

Cats are cool though, love cats, and dogs too. Esp. my own dog. He's just a cuty. check out his pic in my profile.

[RobinHood3000]

Actually, rachel, Triceratops was spelled perfectly. Congratulations. But of the Ceratopsids, I'd have to say Torosaurus and Styracosaurus are my preferred favorites.

[starrwriter]

I love it when you talk dirty.

[RobinHood3000]

Topsoil and compost!!

Torosaurus was like Triceratops, but with a headcrest that was longer and higher, which gave it a more elegant appearance (in my opinion). Styracosaurus is like Triceratops, but with a dangerous-looking fringe of extra spikes/horns around its headcrest, giving it a more savage appearance (again, in my opinion).

[Nightshade]

still :confused:
how about dodos I like dodos

:)

[AimusSage]

They are all dead, each and every last one of the dodos.
Long live the Dutch people who caused their extinction.

Or not, but I am sure they tasted good, like chicken. :nod:

[rachel]

Well well well, so the penny has dropped. When I worked as Night Attendant in a Senior's residence I noticed it was always the big tall gentlemen that had been former R.C.M P officers or in the army etc that wept the most crocodile tears when I sat and talked to them. They were very soft and emotional inside their hearts.
Never again will I believe a creepy rude sarcastic filthy thing you say you dear old man.
I will just smile and get your fluffy slippers, the ones with Tinker Bell on them and your nice comfy pillow and hand you a delicate pink hand towel. For when those tears rise once more to the surface of those bleary care worn eyes.
Poor poor sweet Starr. there there.....

[rachel]

GO SCHER GO GO SCHER GO YAYE SCHER!!!!!1
Sir Robin I was wondering are you enlisting any new recruits into Sherwood forest.I feel the need this Christmas season to definitely rob the rich uncaring people and give to the poor. I should very much like the honor of joining, perhaps you could start a thread.
I hope you will not say that like that Academy in the U S that drove that woman to a breakdown so she had to leave, I hope I will not be told that it is men oriented also.
Surely I could be of some help m'lord?

[Nightshade]

:lol:
Poor man you realise we are turnig you into our pet hobby?
the Convert Starr club
or should it be "The we know hes really a sweet old man " club
http://www.websmileys.com/sm/happy/667.gif
sorry I cant help it ((g))

[rachel]

That would be a lovely thread Night and we could attach pictures of all the shawls an d woolie socks and bibs for when he drools while sleeping onto our posts.
how much fun, and we could exchange knitting and crocheting techniques as well as tried and true formulas of helping people like our Dear Starr to expand their horizons by oh I don't know.....actually reading some very good books and doing a book report or two,.
wow the possibilities of a Starr rehab thread are endless are they not? :banana: :nod: :brow: :thumbs_up

(Nightshade totally missed my point. I said I was very proud and shed tears of gratitude because my twisted humor corrupted a sweet girl like Pensive. Pay attention, damn it!)

[Nightshade]

I got that starr but it ma\eans that you really feel the need to share and be loved so we will share all the niceness that is us :lol:
((g))
But the first rule is no swearing, I think I might make so brownies.
And while we are at Rachel do you know how to crochet? Im trying to learn but My family are all kniotters so no one can help me.
:D

[rachel]

I sure do. I will try to find time to crochet a little doilie(those pretty pieces of knitting or crochet that go on tables etc.) and I will incorporate the word "starr" on it and let you see. I will give you instructions. also if you go onto Google and then ehow you can find all sorts of help for knitting and crocheting. And about Starr's swearing, I heard a lot of that in the home for seniors. It seems to come automatically when their minds wander and they think they are young men in the military once more. A gentle pat on the head and a nice cup of hot chocolate always put them right again.
Really Starr should be our little mascot our 'pet of the forum.' what do you say Night?

[rachel]

oh by way Starr have you met our illustrious awesome gentleman of gentlemen Mono as yet? You should look him up and have some conversations with him. His genteel manner, his great and fine mind and his impeccable manners might be of great use to you in your rehabilitation. The forum is magical when he is here,like a dance really.
And his kindness makes ours look very ragged indeed.
Do you agree guys? What better medicine for our dear grandpa Starr?

Yes MOno is one of the greatest :nod:.
And I object Starr Im not suguary at all Im more like Cinnamon

Rachel as a mascot?? humm maybe I think but only if we manage to rehabilitate him until then he can be our pet hobby or project :nod:

[starrwriter]

I object Starr Im not sugary at all. Im more like Cinnamon.
You're a cinnamon girl? That's the title of one of Neil Young's best songs. Ever hear it?

[Nightshade]

errr who? and what? and Nope!
no cinnamon is cool and deliousous and healthy (ish)
and great :nod:

[starrwriter]

errr who? and what? and Nope!
You never heard of Neil Young? He's an American (originally Canadian) folk/rock musician who has been around for 30 years. He was in the groups Baffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young before he went solo. His early stuff had great poetic lyrics second only to Bob Dylan. Cinnamon Girl was one of his biggest hit songs, along with The Loner, Down By The River, Cowgirl In The Sand and Heart Of Gold.

Where have you been -- in a cave?

nope, Ive heard of the sweet caroline guy whats his name diamond?

I love American Pie and Starry, Starry Night by McLean, but you can have John Denver.

[rachel]

I have never been a miner for a heart of gold but I love Neil Young and he truly is an icon. There is a simplicity about his sound that cuts right to the heart.
Insulin did you say Starr, man for a guy that when I first met him , sounded like the epitome of American manhood and moxy you are now down to weeping, wearing pink Tinker Bell slippers, fluffy towels and now insulin.
Say guys what say we all get together and send this fluffy growly bear a virtual get well card complete with lots of sugar and cinnamon and honey.
How about it. Then he'll know just HOW MUCH WE LOVES HIM. because we do.
Starr you had better pray a whole new bunch of chicks come on board that don't know your hidden sweet side and who like we did will take all manner of offense at just everything you say. That will perk you right up and put you back into fighting trim, am I right? :brow: :D :lol:

[starrwriter]

I have never been a miner for a heart of gold but I love Neil Young and he truly is an icon. There is a simplicity about his sound that cuts right to the heart.
Neil Young isn't all sweetness and light. "Four Dead in Ohio" is one of the angriest songs I ever heard. He showed a dark side in "Down By The River," a song about a guy who kills his girlfriend. And "The Loner" could be the theme song for alienated existential mavericks like me.

The topic is animals, not birds, and the last time I looked I was an animal. I'm certainly not a plant.

And, besides, what could be better than talking about ME? I'm rather fascinating, in case you haven't noticed. Ruggedly handsome, intelligent, witty (feel free to add your own adjectives.)

"You" must refer to yourself. Otherwise, the meaning of the sentence contradicts reality.

then to manage attachments.

[Virgil]

Thanks Riesa. But the problem now is that all my pictures are over the 100 kb of memory. Is there anything I can still do?

[Riesa]

:D Do you have a photo editing program where you can resize your photo? That's the only way I know how to do it. I hope that helps. I want to see your labby-poo. :D

See if this works. She's a year old here. Her name is Brandi.

Cute lab, Virgil. She has nice bone structure, and kind and intelligent eyes.

Brandi's eyes are so kind, but they seem a little sad somehow. Do you take her for walks in Central Park or is that a no dog area?

Both of those links lead to a web page that says "Access Denied."

[AimusSage]

Such a cute doggy, but what's up with the donkey and Chunky? Access Denied? Are they part of some secret research facility where people conduct experiments on them? I sure hope not, as that would make you very evil Riesa, ;) :p

Unless ofcourse when you are trying to free the poor things from the cluchtes of evil people.

[starrwriter]

:D Do you have a photo editing program where you can resize your photo? That's the only way I know how to do it. I hope that helps. I want to see your labby-poo.
You can also set JPG quality to a lower percentage to reduce kilobyte size. Try 60-70%.

[Riesa]

hmmm, thanks Starrwriter, I had no idea, I'll try again.

[Riesa]

:D

No, no secret experiments, I just don't have a clue what I'm doing. :D

Here are the pix. I think.

Eeee!! Puggy! :D :D

These are my four favorite animals in the whole world:

EDIT: It won't let me post all the attachments at once. These two are of Arlo and Stuffy...

[emily655321]

...and these two are of Adele (with Stuffy behind her), and Floyd. I can't believe they're a year and a half old already! We took them in as 4-week-old orphans. The third picture is the first ever taken of Floyd and Adele (in the middle), along with their brother and sister.

[Virgil]

Cute lab, Virgil. She has nice bone structure, and kind and intelligent eyes.

Thanks. She's very affectionate. Loves to lay on the couch with us, even though she must be close to a hundred pounds now. She thinks she's a lap dog. Pugs are cute. Is the donkey a pet or does it do chores?

[Monica]

My favourite animal is guinea-pig. I have my second piggy now, her name is Franc Josef (apart from million other names like Oskar for example). She's only 6 months old and she's soooooooooo cute. She plays with a table tennis ball and jumps very high and likes to jump in the air and turn 180 degrees in the air. But she bites everything and once she bit my internet wire :D

[Riesa]

I've never had a guinea pig, but they are cute little furballs.





Is the donkey a pet or does it do chores?

I have two breeding jennets at the moment. They are pets. Their babies will be trained to pull a cart, just fun for the kiddos.

[starrwriter]

Did you know that roasted guinea pigs are staple food among South American indians? You should toss Franc Josef on the barbie and try a hind quarter.

lol, yeah... I've eaten a guinea pig(when I went to south america). They're delicious... no, they're scrumptious. Before, I didn't know what a guinea pig was so I didn't care... now though it just feels so weird to say. I still remember the taste though(it's unforgetable) and seriously, it's delicious. Gosh! How odd it feels! anyhow, here are my favorite animals. Well birds of course, I like all types. My other favorites are dogs and horses. Reptiles are my least though.

Yes, I drew them myself.

[Virgil]

Wow. Outstanding drawings. You're an artist!

I was joking about eating a pet, but I know what you mean about feeling weird.

In Hawaii I learned to eat tako (octopus), which is a favorite food among native islanders. It tasted pretty good and I hunted tako with a speargun in the ocean. Then one day I saw a Jacques Cousteau TV special called "The Soft Intelligence." I realized how intelligent octopi are and suddenly I felt almost like a cannibal. Imagine eating Flipper.

Now I couldn't eat tako if I was starving. Live and learn.

PS: I like your drawings. Believe it or not, years ago I wrote two short stories titled "The Lone Wolf" and "Hummingbirds." I'm thinking of using your drawings to accompany the stories, if you don't mind. I'll give you credit if you send me your real name in a PM.

Well... I could probably still eat guinea pig, it'd just feel weird... lol.

I don't know about using my drawings though. I mean, there's just something about my name appearing in a book or something that, I don't know, gives me this feeling. I guess I'm just too timid. Another thing is, it was an assignment for draw 1 class, so basically those are really copies from the true original. So yeah... I don't know.

It doesn't matter if you based them on originals, they are your artwork. But it's entirely up to you. Let me know in a PM.

[Pensive]

Pansy (Pensive's blue bird) is saying that she wishes that people would take birds as animals.

Pensive says: It is impossible, you should remain what you are. Birds and Animals are different things.

Pansy says: No, I want to be taken into the catregory of an animal otherwise I will change into Lion.

Pensive says: Noooooooooo, I am scared of animals specially Lion.

Note: Now, Pensive is requesting people to try to convince her that why Pensy should not be an animal.

[Monica]

Yeah, I've hear about that. And sometimes I feel like roasting my FJ when she's nasty and squeaks all the time :D

Well, Pansy, I'm afraid of making Pensive angry with me for telling you this, but *looks around, whispers* birds are a kind of animal. :nod:

So cute, Riesa! Australian Shepherds are wonderful dogs.

[Virgil]

Bula, our brand new blue merle Australian Shepard, 6 weeks old.
He's adorable. I'm jealous. Of course I can't possibly handle another dog. He seems quite big for six weeks. Tell me if this is true: Nothing loves life like a puppy.

[rachel]

nothing loves socks new shoes and whimpering day and night like a puppy bless their little chubby hearts.
and nothing loves curtains, paper bags and balls of wool like kittens, bless their scrawny little hearts.
I used to have a persian I called Shalimar, Shally for short. I rescued her from the spca they were just going to put her down. she was matted, terrified and seemed to be dead though she lived.
I took her home, actually bathed her and blow dried her and she just lay there relaxed, so happy to be out of that confining cage. I kept her in the house for a while then tried letting her out. The first day I opened the door and there she was hanging on to the door knob, she was still scared. But in no time she was climbing all the trees, exploring the grass at the side of the creek and she became an amazing hunter. Once she went missing for days and I was sick with worry until one of my children said she was four doors down eating from a bowl with gourmet cat food. Apparently she preferred that. we became inseperable and she became a mighty hunter, afraid of nothing. once a dog was nosing around the yard and she came flying down and jumped on his back and got a ride from the yowling dog(star was hisname and we loved him) then she came haughtily back and wound herself around my legs. when I went for emergency surgery although a dear friend cared for her she lost most of her fur from crying for me. when I came back she couldn't stop purring and laying on my face Ugh. but she was a dear.

[Riesa]

Ah, Shalimar.
We have a black persian named Aladdin. Also rescued from the spca, he might as well have been a squirrel when we got him, so wild and scared. He lived under our bed for a month, behind books on the bookshelves, anywhere he could get that was small and dark. I used to coax him out from his hiding spot with canned food, then I'd grab him, forcefully hold him and brush him, his heart pounding as if I was a wolf mauling him. Now he is delighted by company, his little "eee, eee", squeaking at everyone. He still can not properly meow. We realized he was well and truly tame and happy when we left for a week, had neighbors feed the animals, when we came home he ran to us, my husband picked him up and he began to blissfully drool. Now he drools very often, ugh. He is also a dear. :)

I've watched Bula grow from closed-eyed newborn to his six week old self, he grows so rapidly! Little fat fluff-ball.

[rachel]

Bula, what a lovely name, he sounds just too adorable. My adopted brother and his wife have a ranch somewhere between Calgary and Edmonton and they continually rescue dogs and cats from people that just let them out on the highway and drive away. Once I asked him what he wanted for Christmas and he said " oh about a hundred pounds of gravy train, if you don't mind."

[Riesa]

Here ya go, Em. :D French Toast is her name.

[emily655321]

Yay, French Toast! :banana: :D

Awww... tiny donkey face! I just want to give him a big kiss on his little nose. :D

Thank you, Riesa!

My favorite animal is ant.
I know if there is a huge group of ants moving together, it's disgusting.
But when there are only several of them, I pay much attention to them and love the sight of their walking and carrying foods.

[Serenata]

Yeah, I like animals. Normal house pets are cool, but I love and plan to eventually get a koatimundi. I have sugar gliders already. My favorite is the red fox. I would love to have on as a pet.

[Shalot]

Did you know that if a cat ingests ibuprofen, it's lethal? My husband dropped an ibuprofen the other morning and he was looking around for it and the cat leaped over in the general area of where my husband thought he dropped the ibuprofen and started eating something. My husband couldn't find the ibuprofen and assumed that the cat ate the pill (would a cat even eat a whole ibuprofen?)

Anyway, he called the vet and asked what would happen to the cat if she did in fact eat the ibuprofen and they told him the cat would die. So, he starts looking around for the ibuprofen hoping that maybe he overlooked it and he did. If it doesn't fall into his outstretched hands.... :D

So, our cat is not dead. ****sigh of relief****

[RobinHood3000]

Well, that IS a relief!!

[Shalot]

yes it is.

We bought her all these toys and she plays with trash. I got the gift wrap out so I could wrap presents and she got into the curling ribbon and ate some. She likes to chew on dental floss picks and plastic. She likes to burrow in plastic bags. But she is not at all interested in the cat tent or the balls and feather things we bought in the pet aisle. Weird cat.

[subterranean]

My goldfish is old now and I think he's dying. :(

This is an old picture of him.

[Virgil]

My goldfish is old now and I think he's dying. :(

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Pets are family members and their passing is just as traumatic. How old is he?

[subterranean]

I can't remember the exact date, but I bought him from a pet store earlier this year. He was very little and I like to feed him a lot. Thus, his fat figure. :)

A friend of mine one time said that I purposely fatten him up with the intention of cooking him up when he was big enough to be eaten..:D

[subterranean]

My fish died yesterday. When I got home from work, I saw his home but he was not there. My mother said he died earlier yesterday in the afternoon..:(

[Riesa]

[kathycf]

My fish died yesterday. When I got home from work, I saw his home but he was not there. My mother said he died earlier yesterday in the afternoon..:(
Aw, sorry about that. It hurts to lose a pet.

Regarding the ibuprofen, I gave my dog Nicky one a long time ago (he was old and arthritic) and he vomited a bloody discharge and the vet said to never give animals ibuprofen. Just plain aspirin is ok though, like the 81mg dose. Nicky was a good dog, he was 17 when he died.

[dramasnot6]

My fish died yesterday. When I got home from work, I saw his home but he was not there. My mother said he died earlier yesterday in the afternoon..:(

My deepest sympathies Sub. I have lost several pets in my life, four of them goldfish, and know it can be like losing a good friend. Best wishes in your recovery.

I'll get new fish soon..some small ones....

Well, how much can you trust your mother? . . . I mean, you didn't actually see the body, right? Do you know how tempting a nice, big, fat goldfish can be?

[subterranean]

Well, be careful about it. I mean, it starts with a goldfish, who knows what she's capable of? :D

So, you're saying that I should stick with fish....

[ShoutGrace]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, don't upgrade to a cat, or a dog . . . :D That would be a true tragedy. ;)

[subterranean]

No wonder she never allowed me to have something more than a fish....

Now, the secret have been revealed...

[AutumnGal]

If I'm not mistaken, the biggest cat is actually the Siberian tiger.


You're right, the Siberian tiger is slightly larger than the Bengal. But there's no way I'm hiking through the snows of Siberia. I'm strictly a tropical man. A 600-pound Bengal male is a big enough cat for me.

It's interesting that I should come across this post, as just the other day my brother-in-law was telling me about a show he watched on the Discovery Channel. The new king of the jungle is the Liger--a cross between a siberian tiger and a lion. The cat was monsterous--approximately three times the size of the siberian tiger!

(Just circulating about dispensing tidbits from my PEZ dispenser of knowledge. :p )

[Adudaewen]

Sorry to hear about your goldfish buddy Sub. :( Hope ur doin okay.

It is strange how attached we get to our pets, isn't it. I have two cats right now, Ringo and Pica, and they are my boys. I don't know what I'm going to do when I lose them.

You are correct Autumngal. The Liger is gigantic!!! But aren't they usually born sterile? Or am I thinking of a Tigon? (The liger sire being the Lion and the tigon sire being the tiger.)

[ktd222]

I think the only dogs my family raised during my lifetime were dobermans and one daschund. I don't know why. I think they are my dad's favorite, although that breed has grown near my heart too.

Yes, I've heard of a Liger, but it's not a natural animal. It was bred. But I can't believe it's three times the size of a Siberian Tiger. That would put it at around 2000 pounds. I know it's big, but it can't be that big.

Your 'naughty hound' is very handsome indeed, Drama. Is it a beagle, or a jack russell terrier? or is it a mix of some sort? Either which way, what a cutie, I'd love to hug her!! :)

[dramasnot6]

:D Hunter and I thank ye kindly kiz. She is actually not a mix-breed at all, but a virginian breed of dog descended from the English foxhound called a "Treeing walker coonhound". But we like to call her the 60 pound beagle for laughs :lol: :p Lovely geese!

Drama, your dog is really cute. I should bring my camera along more often when I go out. I took my dog Dillon out the other day to this little pond down the street and there was a heron there. I would have loved to have gotten it's picture.

[Shalot]

She does look a bit peeved, but cute though. :)
.

She was a little mad because she had a trip to the vet and got two shots. Then to add insult to injury we put the hat on her.

She's been sulking. Now she is sleeping.
