    I grew up on a daily farm. Every season I would make friends with one calf and when it grew up it would be much nicer and calmer than the others lol I had one special calf though for 4H. Her name was Sweetie Pie and she had a twin named Sugar Plum... I loved those cows haha. My older sister also had a few lambs that were pretty cute.

    In highschool I owned 3 Mongolian Gerbils, named McMurphy, the Cow and Attila the Hun lol

    My boys (age 3 & 1) have a Rabbit, leopard gecko, 2 ball pythons, bearded dragon, rose hair tarantula & Asian forest scorpion.


    I guess technically just the rabbit and gecko are 'theirs'..

    I had a hermit crab named Kermit. I think it lasted a couple months. The mofo pinched me one time so I never handled it after that. One day it crawled out of it's shell, buried itself under the rocks and died. Couldn't find that mofo for a week until it started stankin' the place up.

    My pet lamb was named Dinner. Mmmm.

    Oh, I like you. We had a pig and cows named Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

    we named our turkeys Thanksgiving and Christmas. :devil:

    OMGLMAO....too funny, thank goodness I was not taking a drink of my water right then....it would have shot though my nose! We never raised those but I'm sure those would have been the names we picked out.

    We also named our other cows and pigs. Susy, Larry, Moe, Curly Joe, Bonnie & Clyde. The chickens we never bothered with. You just had to yell "here chicky, chicky" and they all came running.

    I lived on a farm ive had;

    Dog, cat, sheep, goats, cows, jackson chameleons, lovebirds, finches, mountain horned lizard, fish, turtle, tortoise, mice, cardinal, myna bird, horse, bunnies, hamster, ferrets…

    Not all at the same time. WHY did my parents let me always get a new animal when I OBVIOUSLY couldn’t care for them… (always forgot water or food for the little critters =/..) Once I turned 14 I learned how to care for pets, and haven’t killed one being irresponsible since..


    I'm a horrid person.
