Pets!
So I was wondering, are you guys fellow pets owners and if so, what pets do you have? Dogs? Cats? Chinchilla?

I have a black cat called Yum Yum.
The little biter! Aww... what a cute and original name. Does it stand for something? Sounds Japanese to me.

Re: Pets!
used to have 2 dogs, but things got too much, and after they went, then didn't bother again.
but just look after parents cats, and they exercise the puppy!! well that is before they turn and start hissing at the puppy. we have tried warning her, but the only problem with a spanner dog, is either they have a loose nut or two, or warnings including the cats swipping is falling on deaf ears. so constantly got to keep reminding her.
the biggest problem is, is that the one cat is a rescue cat that we have had for nearly a year, and she has only calmed down enough to start playing with the other cat. well having the puppy has helped with that, so they were both sat together on the stairs like partners in crime and sort of laughing until last week when the puppy finally built enough courage, and leg length to actually get up, and downstairs.
but as both cats are (supposed to be!!) indoor cats, then they have kind of had nowhere to hide from her since. but as it is getting warmer, then the rescue cat is outside a lot more now. I think it was because she was found in the woods when we had the snow in Jan/Feb last year, then she really doesn't like the cold. she would go out, as she knew from last summer that she wouldn't be locked out. but she would only go out to check that the garden was still there, and straight to the back door 5-10 minutes later.
but yes, the cats have been getting on a lot better since the puppy. now they both got something in common (they both hate the puppy!!).

Re: Pets!
I swear my Dog is Dyspraxic!
They say Dogs pick their owners & it's very true in this case.
1) He's a Jack Russell & is very, very stubborn. (This probs isn't dyspraxic but...)
2) When I call him, he's often in his own little World & ignores it.
3) When he's 1 metre away & I gesture and call him to come in, he normally gives me an incredulous look like he doesn't understand, even though he's done it 100 times before.
4) When he's in the wrong, a normal dog would pick the 'I'm Sorry' look, or a correct emotional response. Odo picks the 'I'm completely confused' look & hence he has to be fully guided as to what he's 2 do next.
5) He often greets other dogs in such a Hyperactive, yet quirky way that they all want to start a fight with him.
Has anyone else had this when people seem on a different wavelength & so react with hostility to your strange ways?
He hasn't done anything really clumsy yet, but I think he's somewhere on the spectrum & he's definitely not your normal hound...

Re: Pets!
Aww... I love fancy rats! They are cute. Back when I used volunteer down at Nature Centre, I used to work in the Rodent House quite a lot and there were my favourite rodents to work with. I don't get why some people are so scared of them.Lizzi wrote:Around 60 fancy rats. I show and breed them but primaily they are my friends/companions whatever you wnat to call them. I love them!!!

Re: Pets!
I have 1 dog, 2 cats , 1 tortoise and a goldfish-
Junior (dog)- Had him since i was 5 years old, so he's kind of like my best friend . Really friendly golden retriever, although he does drool quite a lot 
.
Suzie (cat)- She a mean little moggy! and will only like attention when shes in a good mood, she despises the other cat and can't be in the same room together. She a mixed color short haired tabby.
Ozzie (cat)- probably the opposite of Suzie, as he loves any attention he can possibly get!! and can't stand to see his plate empty
. he's a white fluffy Persian mixed with tabby.
Shelton (tortoise)- Bloody annoying when your trying to cut the grass! for a tortoise he's quite a fast mover.
Klaus (goldfish)- Well it's a goldfish...

Re: Pets!
What an unusual name for a cat. DJ... I like it!
Aww... Junior sounds totally adorable minus the drooling.
