Pets POLL to get this board moving!!

What, did the ittybitty troll scare everyone off?  Let's do a poll!![Poll]

Re: Pets POLL to get this board moving!!

  • We have one dog, two cats, and guinea pig, and DH has a bearded dragon at his office.  We also have two fish tanks but I guess those don't count.
  • We have four cats.  One is a maine cooon and one is a russian blue.  We would own about 5 more cats if we could!

    Jacki- I used to have a guinea pig.  They are so cute.

     

  • We have 2 dogs -Lexi a black chow retreiver and Chip a black chow lab. 

    We also have a cat that was abandoned when she was a kitten.  The only bad thing is Im allergic to cats so shes an outside cat.  (she was already anyway) She does have her own room in the garage where she sleeps and has her bowl and box.  She loves it in there.  When shes ready to go out she will but when she doesnt she flat out wont.  Its to cute.  When she sees your car coming down the street she comes running.  Jerry has tried to bring her inside the house but she doesnt like it.  She gets freaked out.  Thats even with the dogs put up.

     

  • We have two cats, Sadie and Gimli

    and one dog, Buddy - a real mut. 

  • I have four cats! :) Mindy, Creamsicle, Morgan, and Rudy. All of them a pain in my butt (but I love them anyway)!
  • We have one dog - 12 weeks old. He is about ALL I can handle right now. We also have some stray cats that like to hang out in our yard....that pooo in our yard....and then my dog rolls in it...AWESOME way to spend Saturday night :)

  • No pets by choice. (much to my DH's dismay!)

    I just don't like pet hair . . . and I really honestly think sometimes pets smell. (I know that's odd, but I am uber sensitive to smells) Yes, I am one of those odd people that can walk into a home and know if you have an animal or not -- even if you think they don't give off an odor, they do.

    That being said, I just might get a dog one of these days . . . maybe if we ever move into a house instead of a condo. We shall see.

  • Cooper, a Basset Hound. JD and I both want another dog, but we both feel we need a yard before we adopt (we want a larger dog). We are debating getting a kitten. We'll see!
  • I have one dog.  A miniature pinscher named Raina.  She is 5 and a half years old.  She's a handful but I would love another dog, maybe on the bigger side.  B is a little more skeptical.  I think he only wants one pet at a time.  Also, we are SICK of walking her on a leash (she takes FOREVER to go) so we definitely won't get another until we have a fenced in yard. 
  • No pets..I would love an inside dog but my hubby has asthma and he's very sensitive to pet hair. When things slow down for us we want to get a dog we can both agree on. He wants a pot bellied pig...lol

    We're both allergic to cats.

  • We have one dog, a doberman named Kady. Shes going to be 4 in almost a month and is a spoiled brat. hahah shes super sweet and is now scared of lighning. Weirdest thing ever.
  • We have one dog. We have debated getting her a friend but with the new house and baby coming not sure thats a good idea. We have not ruled out the possibility though. We know she would love it.
  • I love dogs but my hubby and I just don't have the time to keep up with one right now and the place we are renting has carpet and we don't want to risk losing our deposit while a new puppy gets potty trained.

    I think its good for us right now.  We are kind of in our selfish phase and sometimes are out really late or gone for the whole day.  I would worry too much and feel guilty leaving my doggy alone for so long.

    Plus, I live vicariously through other dog owners.  I have my own dog that is with my parents now Lady, and my lil sis just got the cutest Pug named Kona, and if he's not around I have Ricky, my mil's chihuahua, and then there's J's doggie Porter to love on. 

    I have lots of doggies in my life!  He he

  • One dog (half shitzu, half peekapoo) named Shelby-Roush. (and a beta fish that we rescued off of a wedding reception centerpiece, named Bob).
  • We have 2 dogs, both pomeranians. Pixie just turned 7 and Mango, the puppy we got last year, just turned one. He's a handful. We waited for a long time to get Pixie a brother just because he's so quiet. Now we can't imagine not having Mango. They are our babies for now...

    Nery do you know if he's sensitive to the types of dogs that have hair instead of fur?  Like poodles?

    Pot-bellied pigs are awesome.  Our goal is to have a big cracker-style house on several acres with lots of animals.

    You know I think its mainly the fur but its happened with dogs that have hair too, so I'm not sure....

    That's Manny's dream too!! I would like a lot but he would LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! lol

    I love my penny gig!!!  I hope to teach this year, and I'd love to have him in my classroom.  He used to live in a nature center DH and I ran, and the kids all loved him.  They would all sit knee-to-knee in a circle and he would run around in the middle....so cute!  His name is Howie:

  • We have one cat, Luke Skywalker, and one budgie, Pixel.  The cat was mine and the parakeet his when we met...but they do pretty well together even though they didn't grow up together.  Luke occasionally stalks the bird, but the bird is pretty wary of him still, and we keep an eye on them when they are out together, so it works out okay.
  • We have 3 pets! :o) We have a 3-year old hound mix named Josie. We have two cats....4-year named Shadow and a 1-year old named Abby. I LOVE animals and I'm so happy that we have the 3 of them. Big Smile

    We are hoping to one day have a farm and I really want to get 2 miniature donkeys.

  • Before moving to Florida, DH and I had a hamster, a rabbit, a hermit crab and a fish. We had to give away the rabbit and fish and the hermit crab died, so we brought our hamster (Winnie) down with us. AND...today we got 3 guinea pigs from craigslist! 2 girls - Maddy and McKenzie and 1 boy - Dude (they came with the names and I love them!). Oddly enough, I think our hamster knows we got more pets and was extra needy tonight (wanted tons of attention) - the guinea pigs have been squeeking a lot this evening - cute!

  • Yay for more guinea pigs!!  They are awesome.
  • We have one dog, Jazz, she is a shephard mixed with something else (not sure what) that we rescued from the shelter in April. We also have a cat, named C-A-T. he weighs 40 pounds and is almost the same size as Jazz. We also have 3 fish tanks, so we have lots of fish as well.
  • Wow MrsK - I thought I had a big cat at 15 pounds!!  That's crazy!

    We have one cat, Simba, who is 4 years old and Lady who is a black lab/collie mix - she's 2.  We were just talking about getting another dog or cat but this house is too small - maybe when we move to a bigger house or have kids we'll get more, we both love dogs.

  • MrsK, I just have to confirm this - you have a FORTY pound cat?  Is that even possible?!?!

    That's what I was thinking Jacki!!  My BF has a HUGE cat that is the biggest cat I've ever seen and he's only 25 pounds. 

    MrsK - I'd love to see a pic of your kitty!
