Featured Got any pet's

gET ANOTHER, sorry caplock on.

I just lost two bulldogs....both in the same week. Heartbroken so the wife brought home another one. That helped.

 

My wife and I are animal lover's with a bias toward dogs. We currently have three, Papillion, Malt-Poo and Chihuhua mix.

We lost a very precious pet (Chloe) suddenly and unexpectedly to a seizure. Our hearts were broken for several years.

We do understand the emptiness and hurt as we have lived it.

Blessings. Time will soften the pain.

 

We often worried about gates being left open....my wife constantly reminds me when I do yard work to be certain to close and lock the gates before I let the dogs into the backyard. We keep them locked to prevent any neighborhood miscreants from opening them.

 

This is so our life.

 

Been there a few times. Our last one was the toughest and made worse that I had to make the decision that she had had enough.

EWF suggested getting another. Might be worth thinking about.

 

That certainly looks familiar.

 

Morning muster for medications and general feeding, from nine o'clock: Bandit & Duke, Papillions; Kandi, Anatolian Shepherd; Spooky the cat; Tess, Black German Shepherd; Myna, Spitz. All except the Papillions are rescues from the pound.

 

We had an old cocker spaniel as a family dog in years gone by.

Since I'm handicapped & my condo is very small + my HOA/property mngmt co charges rather steep additional fee(s) for pets, I don't have any.

If I HAD to choose, I'd probably choose a dog rather than a cat, although I'm sure my sisters most likely would have a different set of ideas about that.

 

I'm sorry your bloodhound died.
I' e looked into getting one before, but now is not the right time.
What was it like to have one as your friend? What was his personality like?
We have a basenji mix. A girl. She is around 6, the vet thinks (rescue, so unknown) and very funny. She gets really excited about treats and will start tearing through the house sometimes if you say that word, except she bounces off furniture she passes on the way, does complete flips, etc. I never saw a dog her size do flips before. It is very entertaining!

 

Sorry to hear about your bloodhound. Its been about 10 years since I lost mine. She was bad to roam as well. She went for a stroll one day to the neighbor's farm and I believe she was poisoned (accidentally or intentionally I'm not sure) regardless we had to personally put her down which was a hard thing to do. I've got two great pyrenees now, up until about 6 months ago they would stay in their fenced area, but started getting loose and running down to the highway. One was gone 2 days and I thought we'd never get her back. Keep em tied up now, hate to do it, but I don't want to lose them.

 

Many posters on this board should have a rabbit.

 

How many rabbits do you have?

 

Pets or animals?

Pets: two dogs.

Animals: 8 rabbits, 21 chickens, 15 chicks we just picked up last week, 5 ducks, 3 calves (1 is ready for slaughter, the other 2 are about 6 months old), and 3 cats that hang out and my wife feeds once in a while.

Then there's the raccoons, possums, coyotes, bobcats, occasional mountain lion, deer, skunks, snakes, stray cats and the wild dogs people drop off down by the cemetery....

 

Ever think about starting a petting zoo?

 

My brother split one with a friend once, same scenario. My brother picked out a calf, the guy tagged it, and separated regularly it for to feed it better.
