This is the place to talk about your pets. Pictures, anecdotes, rude things they've done.

The bane of my existence, my sister's cat Angel. I couldn't think of a less appropriate name for the little 5 pound engine of destruction if I tried...

Well my Dad's dog (Tasha) before the present one was very quiet and would not bark except when she wanted to be let in. Then it was just one bark and she would wait. If you didn't come after 3-5 minutes, she'd let loose with one more bark.
My dad also would cover the carrots he grew with leaves in the fall and have then during the winter. Tasha developed a liking for carrots and would go down to the garden and dig up one a two each day for herself.
Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!

My 8 month old collie, Duncan, is in two dog shows this weekend. I took him to show dog class last Tuesday evening. He was so bad that we almost got expelled.
My 10 year old collie, Garbo, is on a diet. She ballooned to 76 pounds because I over-indulged her with treats and stuff. She should weigh between 60 and 65. So far she's lost 3 pounds after being on the diet for 2.5 weeks. Poor thing - but being fat makes it hard for her to get up the stairs.

My Connie is a ahandful as well, very independant and stubborn. When she wants to do something there is no stopping her. But then, I think you all know that. Just look at her getting impatient with Cobie, organizing a Super Pets Task Force and leading a military campaign!

Mroow! * MY pet is a bit dense at times. (Maybe he was dropped on his head when he was a stripling?) As much as I've tried to get him to understand exactly who is in charge here, he often seems to forget. Humans!

It was a privilege and a pleasure to look after her in your "absence"

I don't have pictures of him yet, but two weeks ago I adopted a 2 1/2-year-old beagle (beagle and something else, apparently, but he looks like a beagle). I call him Hyfrydol (HIVV-ruh-doll), which is Welsh for "pleasant" or "melodious". It's also a hymn tune--I am a total choir nerd. And he has already found a place in LMB lore as Hyvvie the Wonder Beagle, sentinel of Rockhopper's Rookery.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Rockhopper, you'll have to introduce your pup to Beagz beagles.

Oh FC he is just adorable!!! Please give him a squeeze for me!
I miss my Leroy so much it still breaks my heart every day, even though it's been six months since I lost her. Shawn and I are talking about adopting some new furry family members in the fall. I think I need them more than they need me!
(Sorry for bringing down this thread:( Please, more cute pictures and anecdotes!)

Servant had it coming One of my visitor cats doesn't like getting petted. I've built it up to getting a little head rub and a couple of quick back rubs, before the growlies begin. It even surprised his owners who tell me he doesn't go near anyone else. I didn't tell them of my elaborate roast chicken and salmon feeding system, wearing their cat down.

How adorable! Thanks for sharing.
I would share pics of all our dogs but I don't think their human mommy would be pleased.

This is Eva, on one of the spots she calls home on a rotational basis. Mistress of all she surveys, except that she's not that keen on checking the outside part of her kingdom.

Kan't she? It doesn't look that way. fah! blonde statuesque goddess is nothing compared to Eva Cat's cuteness.

It even surprised his owners who tell me he doesn't go near anyone else. I didn't tell them of my elaborate roast chicken and salmon feeding system, wearing their cat down. My Dad's last dog liked to have me sit on the floor and she would snuggle next to me and have me pet her. Every so often, she would start to bare her teeth. I would stop petting her and she would immediately put her head under my hand to start petting her again. I don't know why she would bare her teeth and I don't think she knew either.
