Pets Anyone?

[Dee]

For those who do not know, I have twelve, yes 12, mice. I have two females, one male and about nine babies who we can't tell which gender is which until two more weeks pass by.

Anyways, We're getting a new cage tomorrow for them (I've gatta get another one for the male mouse 'cause he's sitting in a very small one right now.) I love all of them.

Anywho, Post about your pets here!

My husband and I have two dogs, one is a brindle chocolate lab/ridgeback mix named Willie and the other is a fawn boxer/pit bull mix named Duke. We also have one quarter horse gelding named Sebastian (pictures of him can be seen at my farm for Protect Da Girls). I love them all, they are like my children.

Awesome. The dogs sound great and I Love horses.

Right now I only have my two lovely doggies...

First, there's my adorable, perfect little girl; Zita. She was born on January 1st, 2003 and came to me October 1st, the same year. She is a Border Collie/Golden Retriever/English Setter mix, and when you combine BC with a setter it's quite obvious that you'll get a missile (her mother won the nationals in herding over here at some point, even) And she was a true rebel! She'd never been any good at the whole "come-here" thing, so the people who had her before me said that she could not be out of her leash. First thing I did was take it off, and she flew off to the woods. But she came back at night, almost every day, and if she didn't we closed the door, and that's how she learned to come. If she didn't she'd have to stay outside in the norwegian winter for the night. Now she's well-behaved, and everyone who meets her is stunned by how much she can and how well she reads people. My mother in law (wich is extremely terrified of dogs!) have even fed her from the hand. You just have to love her...

My other dog is a 3 year old xoloitzcuintle (or mexican hairless) called Local Hero's Lakota To Indian Fall, or Indi for short. She came to us about 6 or 7 weeks ago, and have settled in nicely. She has been quite the champion in the showring, and has produced a small litter of 3, 2 was kept my the breeder to continue the lines. She is extremely shy when meeting new people, and my fiancé used a week to be able to pet her. But when she knows you she's very affectionate.

I've always had alot of animals, and in my 22-year-old life I've had:
- 2 goldfish
- About 35 rabbits (adults), when I bred them
- About 50 rats (adults), when I bred them
- 2 guinea pigs
- 12 lambs (not really mine, but I delivered them, fed them and took care of them untill they were slaughtered)
- 1 other dog (Zita, a Bearded Collie/Flatcoated Retriever/Gordon Setter mix)
- 18 thingyatiels, when I bred them
- 1 Budgie
- 1 mouse
- 5 hamsters
- 3 cats
- 1 cow (actually!)
- 2 horses (that's I've actually owned, but when I was a harness racing trainer, I considered all the horses to be my own);
- Carino, a fjord/dole mix mare born in 1978.
- Bendik, a fjord gelding born in 1997.

And I've probably forgot some too

I have two horses, both registered. My geldign is a 1997 Sorrel Roaning Out Quarter Horse gelding registered as CB Hickory Frost. He has dual-doc bar lines. My grandma's Morgan mare, Ironstone Peggy Sue, is the mare that I ride. She's a 1992 (not hard to remember how old she is, we're only 6 or so months apart!) dark chestnut mare.

My two dogs are unregistered hunting/family dogs. Cricket is our older Black Labrador and Trigger is our 8-9 month old Yellow Labrador puppy. We had to put my 6 (would've been 7 this year) Black Lab down in December.

I also have 6 fish. Padfoot, Moony, and Prongs are my angelfish and Tonks, George, and Teddy are my hatches.

And my parakeet, Smokey. We think she's about 6-8 years old, but we dont know for sure how old she is! She's been with us for ages, thats for sure!

My grandparents also have three Labradors. Drake is Cricket's litter-mate. He's also a Black Lab showing Chocolate (meaning his coat turns brownish in the summer a lot). Cheddar and Colby are 125lbs. (Yes, 125 pound, NO FAT) Yellow Labradors. I absolutly love Colby, the older of the two.

Labradors are like... THE breed for my family. My aunt & uncle own a 8 year old Yellow Lab, registered as Jenny's Golden Buddy aka Buddy. They had a full littermate but they had to put him down a while back. His registered name was Kurz's Cattail Corky aka Corky. He was a sweet dog but had major problems.
