    I have a 2 year old brindle pit/lab mix named Mya - I do not usually like dogs (actually, I am terrified of them), but she stole my heart at a pet expo and I brought her home that day.

    I also have 4 cats (I really love cats, lol) - The Floyd is an old guy (13 or so); he's a brown, long-haired deaf boy and by far the most loving cat I've ever met, Sasha is my 6[ish] year old black & white medium hair gal - she is my baby...doesn't really like anyone but me =) Charlee is a tortie and she's super fat, haha...a little over one year old & last but not least, my Siamese mix cross-eyed boy Dewey...he is nuts! very lovey, but only when he wants to be.

    I volunteer at a no-kill cat shelter 3-5 times a month...that's how I get my fix. I would have many more if my husband would let me =)

    I couldn't post photos from work:

    I have two cats, Gilligan (Male) and Murphy (female). I got both when they were kittens. Gill is now 3 years old and Murphy is 2. They are best friends and they play-fight alll the time. Sometimes I feel bad for Murphy because Gill likes to jump on her but then I see her bite his tail as he walks by and I know she's not innocent!! Gilligan is orange and white and Murphy is Black and white. They have very similar markings even though they aren't from the same family. We adopted both from shelters and couldn't be happier with them!

    Both of them

    My parents also have a dog named Star who is a pit/blue heeler mix and the most well behaved lovable dog you'll ever meet. I rescued her from a pair of homeless hitchikers who were going to just let her go and hope for the best. Naturally I couldn't let that happen so I took her and my parents gave her a home!

    Star!

    ... K. That's not my kitten, but I would give anything to rub my nose against its belly and hug it. ;-; I want to love the kitten!

    This is my cat:

    Her name is Peach. I call her Wench because that's what she is.

    <-- Meet Biskit. An almost 3 yorkie/shih tzu mix. He is demanding, spoiled, loud, insane, devious, most loveable, amazing creature I have ever met. He is not a pet. He is family.

    I have 3 guinea pigs and a Samoyed dog. The guinea pigs are Maka and Vince, and their daughter Audrey. My dog's name is Lucky. I'm pretty sure I jinxed Lucky when I named him. He just had surgery on his knee, and needs surgery on his other knee and on one of his hips. He's also on some medicine to delay arthritis bc of his low joint fluid. We think it was due to inbreeding, unfortunately. He's my baby, and he makes me so happy. He's so friendly and energetic and loves everyone. I love his Sammy smile. My husband often laughs at me because I'll watch Lucky sleep and just smile haha. Maka is 2. Vince will turn 2 this month. And Audrey is 1. And Lucky will be 2 in March.

    My cat Princess, is adapting to my food habits? LOL I dunno but she has grown accustomed to eating peas and corn off my plate!
    :laugh: :laugh: Too funny. I can't get Fishy to eat any kind of table scraps, not even meat!! Maybe I should try veggies. He does like olive juice.

    Awwh! Have you tried chicken? Nearly all cats love it!

    Too funny, too!! My cat LOVES peas!!!!

    He is pretty awesome. It has definitely been a challenge moving around so much and begging the landpeople to let me have him. I'd never give him up.
    Get one! They are awesome.
    Litter box trained when he was a baby, potty trained outside now. No barking. No fleas. No destructiveness (other than my books on occasion when I leave them around). Cheap to feed.
    He's a good boy!

    lmao i would love to get one, but my husband would literally kill me! lol. I've always wanted a pig named Gordy :)

    It was absolutely wonderful reading about and seeing everyone's babies.

    We're primarily cat people and after a six month sting of being cat-less we adopted three older cats into our home.

    Wee MacGregor (Macs) and Rob Roy (Robbie) are nine year Scottish Folds.

    At nine we clearly didn't name them and we'd had no intentions of ever having pure breds, but circumstances and coincidences came together and now they're ours. They're unlike any cats I've ever encountered and there are days I'm certain they're aliens in cat suits.

    Streaky (aka The Freak) is five years old and what is known locally as a Bermuda special (generic mix breed).

    We didn't name her either but since she comes when she's called we're keeping the name. She's incredibly affectionate but plays rough, which I believe was why the shelter was having trouble placing her.

    We also have two Wedell's (or Dusky) Conures. Eric (named after a football great) and Eski (named after a team in an entirely different version of football). Both are about 15 and regardless of gender (we have no clue what they are) have the personalities of crotchety old women.

    As well as a few random inhabitants in two freshwater tanks (one 5 gal, one 30 gal).

    My Simon is 9 years old. He is my little man. People think I'm crazy because we go everywhere together. If he can go, I take him. He eats carrots, loves chicken, tuna, and liver. He also eats blue berries and dried cranberries. I have had him since he was 6 weeks old.

    It's nice to have a group with others who understand how it feels to have pets for children. I don't have human children. My cat is my son. That's him in my profile pic.

    My profile picture is of Duggie the cat. He is best friends with my 3 year old son and a lot of times his partner in crime. Duggie will be 3 in January. Very very spoiled and always up to no good :) My house just wouldn't be the same without him.

    My cats are funky, they don't like chicken. Or steak, or hamburger. The only fish they'll eat is salmon.
    They WILL, however, eat my ice cream, monteray jack cheese, and clean the maple syrup off a breakfast plate.

    I totally agree. I have two cats, same litter, they are ten. They are my babies. I don't have kids, but between them and all the other animals in my house I keep busy. I have a lionhead rabbit who is hysterical (wish I had video, he's so acrobatic). And my husband is trying to become an amphibean breeder, so we have lots of species of various frogs and salamanders right now. Oh, and we have a tarantula but I like to pretend he doesn't exist.

    but my cats-they are my first pets I've ever had. Got them when I met my husband and I just can't imagine how miserable I would be if I didn't have them. I know they won't be with me forever, but I never understood just how much I could love an animal until they entered my life.

    I have wanted a pig forever but my hubby says no :-(. I think they are awesome. I've heard skunks make great pets too(well, they remove the scent glands). No sense of adventure I tell ya!

    This is hobbes (and Chris) These are very bad photos because he's next to impossible to get a good photo of, he moves around so quickly. We've had him for a few months, and he's a ton of fun (when he's not pooping in the corner :wink:)
