    Arthur, my (nearly) 2 year old Golden Retriever - the best bloomin' running partner I've ever had and the only one who'll run 10k and still be grinning from ear to ear! I love my pooch and he loves me, fat or thin although preferably with my trainers on!

    I am a total animal sucker, but I have managed to pare down the number in my house lately.

    3 Cats
    -Dax- a 7 year old brown/grey long haired tabby that I am sure has maine coon in him. he's got the extra toes and ear fluff you see in a lot of maine coons. a big suck who firmly believes a hand not petting him is being lazy and should immediately start petting him.
    -Hooper- a 6 year old black and white medium haired cat who was slated for death because a vet said the medical problem he had could never be fixed and he would lead a miserable life. well, that was 5 and a half years ago. i am sure he is totally miserable being the king of the house and living in the lap of cat luxury...uh huh..lol.
    -GM (Got Milk, he has the cutest little white mustache just like the Got Milk ads)- approx 5 year old tuxedo. he came from a friend of my brother's, who i live with, and was supposed to be his cat, but the cat he already had just would not accept him. 3 years later, and that cat will still go after GM any time he sees him. GM is a little skittish, but loves to cuddle.

    1 Dog
    -Kula- the newest addition, a 7 month old collie mutt. got her from a rescue org. who had saved her from a kill shelter where she had been slated to be put down. she is such a sweetie, and such a looker. she has the collie face and markings going for her, but her body shape, and the fact that she is actually blonde shows that there is some other breed in there. i just sent away a DNA test for her actually, so in a week or 2 i might know what that other breed is. i am more of a cat person, but my cats don't walk on leashes very well, despite having used them since they were kittens, so i gave in and got a dog. i hate hate HATE going for walks, but it's hard to say no to a cute puppy face asking for a walk. that is one of the main reasons i got her, and so far i have walked more in the past few months than i have in years.

    and to top it off, i have a 55gl fish tank with a mix of community freshwater fish.

    i also love rodents, any kind, and used to have many, i think at my 'animal height' i had about 6 cages of rodents...maybe more...lol. it did not help that i used to work in a pet store.

    nice! after i split with my first boyfriend, who was allergic to cats and did not like them, i made a vow, any guy in my life had to like cats. my pets are my kids, and you don't choose a man over your kids right? lol. my current boyfriend is not a cat lover, he prefers dogs, but he likes mine, and they sure like him. so i think i will keep him :)

    Gary the grey kitty, taken in at 4 weeks old, and thus has some problems identifying his species.

    My dozens of fish that will eventually provide me with a master's thesis!

    Or will be Gary's dinner.... ;-D

    I have three cats: two "proper" orphan foundlings and one I got from a rescue place. They really do own the house!

    I have too many pets, but i spoil them all. They are like my babies.

    1. rat terrier named chance oliver. he is 10 or so years old not quite sure we got him from my aunt a year ago. he is so spoiled he use to live outside but now he is a spoiled inside doggie who has his own seat on the couch. if u seat there he either sits in ur lap or makes u more. he has so much energy and he loves people.

    2. yorkshire terrier named princess wednesday alice. she goes by wednesday, she is 9 months. we got her as a puppy at 2months and she has been running the house ever since. she is my biggest baby i take her everywhere i can and she gets her nails done and hair done. she even has her own wardrobe, for every season and she loves to get dressed she runs up to me and gives me her paw when i take out her clothes.

    3. cat named waldenia, which is 3yrs old. she is a inside/outside cat. she likes to be by herself and she hides alot. when she was a kitten she was waldo cuz we could never find her but then when she got bigger we found out she was a girl so we changed it to waldenia. she loves to catch mice when outside.

    4. cat named dooney (inside) she is 11 months old, she is bad. she is small she stop growing a little bigger then a kitten, so she can get in places she is not suppose to be in. she knocks stuff off the counters and she gets into everything. when it gets warm she is getting fixed and living outside.

    5.6. 2 cats they are brothers (inside), who are about 8months old. we just got them for christmas. steven squee is the smaller one and he has short black hair with a white patch under his chin and a poofy black tail. he is like a dog. i can call for him and tell him things and he understands and does them. Then there is onyx squee, which is my beautiful long haired black cat. He is so lovey he likes to sit in ur lap and purr. he is my baby boy, he is there all the time to love me no matter what. for brothers they are completely opposite.

    7. at the beginning of jan, a new cat showed up at our house and adopted us she will not leave but she is so nice and lovey she likes to do the figure 8 around ur feet. she is now an inside/ outside cat but will be all outside when we get her fixed when it gets warm. we love her so much to and are glade she found us. she was starving so we feed her and she is now #7. she is hopefully the last cat we get, but she is spoiled.

    RIP 8. My favorite cat cookie lee, a male cat. he was waldenias brother, he was 3yrs old. he passed away in nov, from blood parasites he got from a tick. he was a inside outside cat. he would go out when it was nice and lay under the swing and run around the front yard. He was like a dog he was fully trained. He would come inside when i called him and scratch the front door when he wanted out. he slept in bed with me and rode on my shoulders when i was cleaning. he always greeted me when i came home from work and he even gave kiss's on the chin when u said kiss me cookie. i miss him so much he was the best cat ever. i want him back and miss him so much everyday. he was my best friend and helped me through hard times. i could really use him now through my weight loss journey but i now he is always there no matter what. he was my biggest baby. i loved him more then anything.

    thanks for reading this and my animals say thank u also they love the attention. i am gonna have them for a long time, almost all of them are under a year old. so they have many years to be spoiled

    3 Dogs, one cat, indeterminate number of Guppies (and a Plec)

    Murphy - Glen of Imaal Terrier, 13 years old. Calm, confident leader. He has Cushing's disease but the medication manages it well. He's a good boy, very friendly and obedient as long as you let him think it was his idea in the first place. Sadly he never thinks it was his idea to have his feet or muzzle clipped so he is in a pony cut which looks a bit silly on him.

    Buffy - Hairless Chinese Crested. 4 years old. Appeaser. Smalled of the three but definitely thinks she is top dog. Affectionate and friendly, but will whinge at the other dogs if she wants their bed. Barks at German Shepherds if she can tell they are either on lead or behind a secure fence.

    Hansel - Hairless Chinese Crested. 3 Years old. 'Really, really ridiculously good looking'. Mental. He was seven months old when we got him and seriously under socialized. Used to have food aggression issues with Murphy. Used to bark at everything, randomly dog aggressive, no manners, no recall, pulled on the lead, ran away for five days a month after we got him. Terrified of strangers. Wasn't toilet trained. The only good things about him were his fantastically soft behaviour with us, instant bond with Buffy and well behaved with the cats. Nearly three years on he is a fantastic little dog. It has been a challenge, but it has been worth it. Very Rewarding turning him around. And he is finally at the stage where he can be left with my Parents so we can have a dog free holiday for the first time since we got Buffy.

    Layla - Persian Cat. 7 Years old. From a Rescue - absolutely flat face. Considering her start in life (breeding queen) she is a super affectionate, fearless little lady. Loves her food & being groomed.

    1 turtle named speedie.
