You just have not seen my cat... He even can not live with other cats, but with a dog even more. Besides, I want a big dog. And this dog needs lots of space, which in our flat is small...

A very sad week for me. I had to put my beloved dog to sleep as he was getting aggressive and wednesday he attacked my daughter. Now I'm dealing with the grief and the guilt at taking his life which I am not doing well...but I had no other choice. Living with the pain if he actually bit and harmed someone ..and with a 3 year old here most days..would be so much worse. Hug your animals for me please..
Kat

Aw Kat I am so sorry to hear that.
It is never good to lose an animal, no matter the reason.
You did what you had to do, give your daughter a hug and know that you are doing what is best for her.

Been out today visiting the local animal rescue centers. Looks like we're in the market for another dog! Just need to find one that gets along with our dog, and our two rescued battery hens! Should be fun!

thank you ..it was hard to talk about..and deal about..but it is getting a little easier. Everyone keeps asking when I will get another. I'm not sure I will. I still have the queen of the house to hug and hold( cat) when she allows it
Kat

good for you Steve! I hope you find a worthy companion for you and your family..please share with us if you do
Kat

Hey guys
We have a fat ol cat that we got from the rspca rescue centre the other year, her name is crumble and she has to be with her teddy most of the time ( downside is we were told not ot wash it and I am sure we will get the plague from it one day )
Anyway I got a snap of her stalking our fish and came up with this pastel drawing..

That's pretty good Hoff! I hope the fish survived?

Great drawing and great cat! The fish, too, even though hidden in the pond.

Hi! I have a calico cat named Boo. She would run and hide everytime she heard a noise when she was a kitten.
My teenage daughter has a cat named Baby. He has to follow you every where even the bathroom! If you use a napkin
and crumple it up and lay in down, Baby will be entertained for hours!

Finally someone who has more cats than I do. hehe. I have 11 cats , Tiger, Boomer, Blaze, Pixie, Sandy, Precious, Rascal, Dusty, Snow Ball, Stubby, and RJ.

Those were my nicknames at school.

just shakes my head at you Steve

We have a couple of members who have many cats NCGIRL and AIRSCAPES..they both have as many as you.
I myself have two marmalade masters of mayhem

This is Fluffy. Her name is Millie, but we call her Fluffy. Not because she's fluffy, but because that is what she has for a brain. But we love her!

This is our newcomer to the fold. Casey came over from Ireland and spent 18 months in a rescue center. It must have driven him up the wall! He is extremely active, and I can't even imagine him being cooped up in kennels all day!. He's got lots of rough edges that need smoothing out! But we are getting there slowly! He's bitten me three times, and I've had him by the throat up against the wall 4 times. I'm winning. (just kidding! )

awwww....i just love dogs..i prefer them to ppl actually, and they seem to know it too..
that is a lovely couple of babies

I know about fluff for brains, my poodle who is actually quite clever runs around like he has fluff for brains too
the yorkie is totally different, nothing gets by him, natta..He is too smart for his own good that one

Well here are my two beasties.......they are both getting on, Maggie (in front) is nearly 11 and Buster is getting close to 14 now.

There are so many cute little monsters on this thread..........and Steve I can just see you and your new fellow wrestling on the lawn, but I don't believe a word of what you said, Casey would beat you hands down !!!!

It's true! Not sure he's gonna work out here. Even Penny is having doubts about him. He is so vicious at times. It scares the kids and I'm worried that he might turn on them one day. He is ok with me now, he knows he can't get the better of me. But he went for Penny this morning. He jumped up on the bed and woke us up, and when she tried to get him off, he snapped at her. That's the second time. She didn't tell me about the first! She is considering what we should do. He keeps going for people on our walks. Just came back now and I had to restrain him a couple times! He's a powerfull dog and I have to be there at all times to walk him. He can pull Penny over without too much trouble, and the kids wouldn't stand a chance! But I can't awlays be there. That's what worries me!

Do you use a collar or a check chain Steve?? I really don't think you should keep a dog that could endanger kids, and if they squeal it will just egg him on. He probably needs obedience training, and if he is as bad as you say, he probably needs a single bloke to own..........as sad as it is, being confined as he was would have exacerbated his problems. You could always try and get that woman from "Its me or the dog" to come and do a programme on him!

In the meantime tell Penny to get a growl on her - and chastise him with a short loud command. She's a nurse didn't you say??? Tell her to put on her best Matron act with him and see if he improves with her while you are deciding what you need to do.

Good Luck!!

We just have one cat at the moment. She is pretty shy and dont "talk" to strangers. When we move to the country im gonna get some dogs for sure, and other animals.

a very lovely kitty you have

I have like no more pets we only have the rottweiler left because my roommate got rid of the mommy cat and the kitten . And her gecko died the other day and so did my hamster. But now I want a cockatiel my friend's cockatiels just had babies so I hope they survive and I can have one of them

Just a suggestion, but why not turn this into a 'draw your pet' thread? Or let people choose one of the posted images of pets and draw them? While its great to see everyone's pride and joy, I always have drawing in the back of my mind!

My grand daughter sent me this photo she took of Dusty, my 11 year old 'puppy'. I really think this photo shows her personality --she is a great companion, who might grow up sometime?

aaawww...just a love puppy

steve, how is your 'love puppy' doing? have you kept him or must you return him?

He's still here. He's settled down a lot since my last post. I couldn't bring myself to send him away! Poor guy has had a pretty raw deal and deserved a fair shot! So we sorted out who was top dog and he seems to be a lot happier. I still wouldn't trust him with the kids, but we are getting there. He's quite an affectionate character. I fell asleep on the settee earlier, when I woke up, He was lying there alongside me! Sneeky little devil!

i am glad, they all deserve a chance, i wish i was RICH..i would have a no kill shelter here....i should have been a dog..i prefer their company over most people...and I just love them soo much!!

Glad he is settling Steve. Sounds like my two lounge lizards! Sounds like he has finally landed with a patient, gentle, loving family............just what is needed if he is ever going to become the dog he was meant to be before his ill-treatment.

Everyones pets are so cute.
Here's my three "babies". Holly is 6 years old. She's the white patchy one, lol, She adopted us when she was a kitten. She's gorgeous, but can be viscious, too. Dobby is two and is the most sleek and elegant cat I've ever seen. Binx is the baby at ten months old. He's a fluffball, always covered in sticky buds from outside.....and he talks, none stop!! He's the most affectionate cat I've ever been owned by. (Oops, I uploaded them back to front. First is Binx, Dobby, then Holly )

oh they re so cute!!!!!!!!! my cousins have seven kitties and they re very active!!

our new baby, who thinks she is a dog.. I came home from work to find all the toilet tissue in the house wrapped around my furniture.
Kat

Aw she's so cute! What's her name?

I"m sad I don't have my kitten anymore, my roomate gave both cats away because of the dog. I would of chose to get rid of that dog first but it's not my house so I can't decide anything

Click to view attachment =D this is my dog sasha. it would be a boring world without her

Click to view attachment and this is my bunny nostredamus or noddy for ppl that prefer nicknames

its kinda funny XD sasha always anoy me and noddy always makes me so calm and happy sasha makes me happy too though XD when she isnt ruining my stuff and drawings.

but when im angry at someone i call them dog XD or "bikkje" since i normally talk norwegian, probably cuz sasha rly knows how to make me irritated . when they hear that word they know they have messed up but i call those i love the most, bunny ( always bunny XD saying it in norwegian gets weird)

Well in this household i didnt want any pets at all as im miserable
