What kind of pets do you have:

The tri-color, Bandit, was the one we had that could jump 6 feet as well. They really are fast. Their natural enemy in Africa, where they originated, was big rats. They were used to hunt small game and the owners valued them so much they would take better care of them then their own self.

My wife's granny used to come over for women's bible studies and she always carried crackers in her pocket book. Well, while the ladies were opening in prayer, Luke, our black and white, went in her pocket book and got the crackers out and ate them. It really got away with Granny, she laughed and laughed. My wife made a cake, iced it and had it on the table and he jumped up there and had half the cake eaten before I could get him down. They were rascals from day one. We really miss them too.

 

So, am I the only one here willing to admit to having a hamster (or 2?)

I've found they make great pets. They don't cost a fortune to feed, and you only have to feed them and clean the cage once a week.

 

We are still in mourning for ours......but I seem to be the only ones with two turtles, coy & goldfish in the pond outside (Popsicles right now)

 

We had a Pekingese for many years whose habits, mannerisms, and looks were so similar to a cat's! She passed away in July of 07 and I still miss her so much! Sometimes when I see the neighbor's cat walking along at a distance she reminds me so much of our Peke!

 

Currently we don't have any pets. But in the past, we have had everything from cats and dogs to squirrels, birds, and hamsters. The squirrels were great fun, and were very tame.

My son has two dogs, a pomeranian and a golden retriever. I count them as my grand dogs.
