A 14 year old cat and two goldfish from the fairground that are now 9 years old and about 8 inches long.

I always wanted a Maine coon they are gorgeous. There is a huge one that lives near my parents house and it walks about like a Lion it really owns the neighbourhood but its really nice natured.

Yeah me too, I've spotted a kitten that I like actually but she won't be ready to be taken away from her mother for another 7 weeks, I think I might put a deposit on her though, I'm so excited :amazed:

A cat who's almost 9 years old :hug:

One bearded collie dog, 20 months old. His name is Carrot Pilausson and he is the love of my life (currently, and hopefully for another 11-12 years! :p).

He hasn't had the easiest time of it, poor little lad. Diagnosed at 9 months old with hip dysplasia he can't manage certain activities: playing with other dogs is always a heart in mouth time for me...if they rugby tackle him and take his hind quarters down, that sets up weeks or months of pain and stiffness - and even just running by himself he sometimes hurts himself if the ground is uneven.

We had months and months of hydrotherapy and daily physio exercises (cunningly disguised as games!) and he intermittently needs pain meds for weeks or months at a time. During the first few months after his diagnosis he was 'grounded'. Lead walks only, but no more than 25 mins at a time - trying to soak up an adolescent beardie's energy with short lead walks and no free runs was tough going. We ended up doing about 6 walks a day.

But he worked hard at his exercises and was a patient little chap and lo, now he gets to do most of what the other dogs do.

He has no concept of his own limitations though *chuckle* He's got all his mum's agility dog bounce, and can levitate sideways up and onto things without seeming to push off from the ground at all. Clever too. Got the collie smarts.

One of the things I love about bearded collies is the way their colour changes and shifts, as they grow up. Starting with vibrant, deep colours and fading to pale, almost ethereal
shades. Then sometimes getting darker again (though never as dark as they were). My previous beardie, Pilau grew to a kind of cappuccino froth colour. In the right light, he could have passed for a ghost *smiles*

Carrot steals socks and toothbrushes, feels it his his duty to inform me of any cats that wander into view of the front window, and digs my newly made bed into a heap, but he's mine and I love him.

Ohhhhh. That is exciting!

Aw,he sounds adorable DanaC,sounds like a right little character,give him a cuddle from me.

Yeah it really is, I hope my dogs will be ok with her though.

I love your story too, that's a lucky dog :love:

1 dog :).

Carrot about 5 months ago and desperately in need of a haircut!

[eta] It looks like he's deep in thought, but I'm pretty sure he's thinking about biscuits.

Hah! So what's the story behind the name?

I have no pets anymore. :(

When I get my own place again I will be getting a chocolate Labrador.

An excellent choice of companion, Ben.

Chocolate labs have a special kind of charm, I always think.

I have always loved labs since I was a kid and I want a dog which is affectionate, loyal and charming companion, which they are. Means when I go on my long hikes the lab can come with me too so I have company that doesn't talk and ruin the hike. :laugh:

The story behind the name is that I thought he was a girl when I got him originally. it was only when I took him to the vets for the first time and she made me cup his little testicles that I realised. Then I thought it was just funny to keep him as Mollie, so it stuck.

It's doubly weird on here as there was a really nice former member on here called Mollie - and it transpired that she was really a he (called Mike), who was pretending to be a she.

Hahahah synchronicity. Excellent.

Funnily enough, my brother and his wife had a pair of kittens called Frank and Beth who later turned out to be Frank and Bert :p

Kittens aren't especially blessed with massive wangs, so it's actually a really easy mistake to make.

My brother just got a little Jack Russel pup (Duncan). I swear i have never seen such a big wang on such a little animal.

You shouldn't be looking, you filthy pervert.

who'd have thought a thread on pets would get pornographic http://www.curioustopic.com/images/smilies/unsure.gif
