I have 3
Dachshunds they are red ( 2 females & 1 male ). They're very smart dogs. The girls are so calm & very
well behaved (sassy & Precious) Precious loves to play with her ball..She sees me getting that ball & her
eyes get real big! her ears way up! she barks so loud when I tease her with it by not throwing it right away LOL so
darn cute she knows a few tricks. Sassy is a chubby one & she is the sweetest thing ever she is lazy & she wants
attention constanly or else she makes this weird noise like if is she was "crying" LOL she is adorable:)! Glitter is
the male ( okay I know that is not the appropiate name for a male dog LOL but I'm a Mariah Carey fan and I got
Glitter right when Mariah's movie came out so I had to name him after her 1st movie.. poor doggy ) Now Glitter is a
disaster! he tries to scape all the time as soon as the front door is open he doesn't
hesitate & takes off omg he's runs so fast! he makes me so
mad.. He likes to chews on "everything" specially shoes & toys! every single blanket I giving him he shreds! I
don't understand what's wrong with him :confused: but the thing I can't stand is when he gets to excited when I
give him attention & he pisses all over me :eek:! *ugh*... But even than I still love him very much just as much as
the rest. He's is just a disaster I'm going to rename him to disaster! LOL...Ahhhh I love those doggies
they are my kids. Lyndsey loves sassy the most! :lovestruc
I really want a Basett hound!!! I'm
getting one for Christmas! so I'm trying hard to be a good girl so Santa can bring me one :D

Two siamese cats and a black
labrador. All good pets with a lot of character. The cats are typical of siamese, aggressive, annoying and
thoroughly entertaining despite not remembering to retract their claws when we play. The dog is a riot to take to
the park. She loves the water and immediatly heads for the stream or lake when we walk in the nearby park. The ducks
see her coming and scatter but the geese chase her off. My parents were hobbiest dog breeders so I've been around
them all my life. It would be weird not to have one underfoot.

5 catfish, 1 gourami. I know
many people don't consider fish as real pets, but that's all that's allowed in my apartment. Had them for about
6 and a half years.

Yeah, she is a sweet dog. My grand kids adore her. They
crawl on her and roll on the floor together. She tolerates almost anything and comes back for more.
Though, the
few times I have startled her in the dark, those bright white teeth coming out of nowhere have made a real
impression on me. I make barbequed ribs fairly often and she always gets the bones. To see her snap a bone twice the
size of my finger in half with no apparent effort inspires respect. I don't think she would ever hurt anybody but
don't really want to find out either.

I would like to get me a
parrot. My Grandma' has one and he sings along with her.. He only whistle when a girl passes by, and he is a
chatter-box... He is such character. Plus his colors are so bright he's gorgeous He doesn't like no one but
my grandma to touch him though =( I tried once to stick my hand in his cage and lets just say I'm very lucky I
still have my pointing finger. They're very expensive so this is the reason I don't have one (yet) .. As soon as
hit the jack-pot or win the LOTTO.. I'm getting me one. (uh-hu)

My brother
has this sweet dog who everyone adores & plays with her. I get very paranoid when I go visit since she is an indoor
dog she is there at all times . My little one likes Mimi (dog) but I won't allow her to play with her. Because I
have heard so many bad things about this breed & seriously it scares me. I don't care how lovable she seems to be I
can't trust her. He got Mimi since she was 9 weeks now she is 3 yrs old. And just like you I don't think she
would hurt anyone but I wouldn't like to find out. Mimi is a PitBull. And my brother says the only way he can see
Mimi trying to harm someone is only to protect those who she loves! :angel:

( I don't buy it )Brenda,
Did
you know that on a percentage basis, minature poodles bite and cause serious injury almost twice as often as
pitbulls? And they are not often trained for protection or attack, can't you just picture an attack poodle? :rofl:
I've been around dogs all my life and have been bit once. That was by a 1/2 pound rat
masquerading as a dog.:rasp:
Dogs, like people, gorillas, cats and almost any other animal
have their own personality. Some are sweet, some are vile tempered, some are lazy and some just stupid. But as a
breed, pitbulls are no meaner or likely to do harm than any other dog, unless they have been taught that way. Pit
bulls are extremely strong, fast and can be aggressive, making them good fighters, so many people train them that
way. Don't blame the dog, blame the jackasses that train them to be vicious!
That's not to say that you should
leave a child unattended around ANY dog. Dogs use their teeth when provoked the same as cats use their claws. The
difference is that dog's jaws are unbelievably strong.
On the other side of it, a funny story. When my oldest
daughter was about 6, I was visiting may parents who still kept dogs at the time. Their house pet was a Siberian
Husky, German Shepherd and Timber Wolf cross breed weighing about 180 pounds. I wasn't paying enough attention and
let my daughter wander out the front door. They lived on a private cul de sac so it wasn't that big a deal. The
first we knew of it was this blood curdling scream. Rushing out the front door we found my daughter flat on her back
with this dog sitting on her stomach with his tongue hangin out (did you know that's how dogs laugh?)
What had
happened is that she tried to leave the yard. The dog stepped in front of her to stop her and she tried to go around
him. That's when he butted her with his head, knocking her down then sitting on her. After a lot of laughter, we
got the dog to let her back up.
Dogs are great friends and wonderful protectors but they should be treated with
respect, like you would any other friend.

We have one large dog that/who is
truely a member of the family; very smart affectionate and outweighs both my kids I think. She loves to play
frisby, tug of war and is a hell of a wrestler too. She's a great companion fo all of us. Part rotweiler part
border collie; great mixture: loyal, strong, fast, agile, smart, affectionate. I wouldn't trade her for any other
type of dog.

Sounds like a cool dog.
What people don't seem to understand is that dogs are by nature pack animals. They have a deep need to be a part
of the pack and will defend that pack. The meanest thing you can do to a dog is to not let it be a part of the
family.

If non-stop guano, perpetual
squawking (to the point of lunacy), and feathers-in-the-air-and-ev'rywhere are what you're looking for (not to
mention the stank), get yourself a parrot.
I had cockatiels. Adorable, but holy shit were they a lot
of work.

I’ve got a 19 year old tabby named
“Slash” (Because of all the scars on his face when I found him). He used to be a great bird hunter, but now he just
lays in the sun and dreams a lot.

I have a dog who thinks she
is human and a african grey parrot that talks up a storm. He learns words and phrases and talks in the voice of who
he learned it from. Its scary when the bird talks with my voice because i certainly do not look like a bird.

Did you pay a lot for your parrot? how long did it take you to teach him how to
talk??

Brenda,
Dogs are great friends and wonderful protectors but they should be treated with respect, like you would any other
friend.Oh Bel, I have 3 dogs and I love them dearly. I'm just somewhat afraid of his dog. Since my dogs are
so little comparted to Mimi. But even when I don't play much with her I give her some attention when she comes near
me. I personally wouldn't get a PitBull. Simply not my type of dog.. But I'm a animal lover :lovestruc .

Actually the bird who I
named Al Bundy just learns things on his own. I never really tried to teach him anything at all. He dances and waves
hello, whistles songs, and is one heck of a stand up comedian. He constantly makes me laugh. He will live about 60
years if he stays healthy. I paid $900.00 for the bird,cage,and supplies. For all the entertainment he provides for
me and my friends it was money well spent.

I've never had any experience
with birds but have read that parrots are very fast learners and have good reasoning ability. But I've also heard
that some of them have bad dispositions and can be destructive. Have you had any experience with that? Their beaks
and claws are pretty strong, I wouldn't want one with a bad temper. Is any of the true, in your experience?

Yes, with someone's else's bird.

Well, they can be just like
little kids at times. If they want to come out of their cage and you don't let them they can let it be known they
are not happy. Yes some birds are like that but mine is a comedian hence the name bundy.

I nominate this as, by far, the best drunk post of the year. (Kicks the
hell out of my half a fifth of Jimmy Beam and a couple of Coors anti-Bush rant of yesterday. Weird, though. The
brown shirts haven't come to drag me away as of yet. Maybe the Love-scent forum is a low priority search for the
Ashcroft Gestapo.)
Oh. Pets. Right. Two collies, one cat, some fish, and a rat that bites like a starved
crocodile. (SOB already bled me, my daughter, my brother, one of my nephews, one of my girlfriends, one of my
girlfriends kids, and my neighbor. However, the little killer still pisses off my ex, so he's got the proverbial
ticket to ride.) I also got a bunch of wild bird feeders and sometimes I throw old meat into the yard to watch the
Magpies and Crows go ballistic on each other. (Nothing like nature for quality violent entertainment.)

I could tell. It's the red eye thing. That always gives you away. Then again
maybe it was the syringe in the mouth thing.
Actually, I came here to write about my dog. She is the most
amazing athelete; no kidding. You just haven't lived until you see her leap 10 feet into the air for a frisbee.
It is insane, and then comes the victory lap around the yard. That is priceless too; leaping and shaking the thing
from side to side like a nut.
You can devise any resonable contest between dog and human and she will win it.
OK, her spelling is not too good. But we have this new challenge where I set a toy of hers about a foot in front
of her and try to flick it away with my foot and she can snag it with one of her paws. As fast as I can kick that
thing in any direction, she will track it and stamp a paw down on it before it moves out of her reach. I kid you
not, it is uncanny. It's like trick photography. There is a brief blur of action, and the next thing you know the
toy is trapped under her paw.
I guess I am one of those pathetic dog owners. :-)

looks like Precious (dog) is
preggy!!!!!!!!!! omg I'm going to be a Mommy again!! aw! she is so adorable:)..I noticed she was somewhat chubbier
& I felt her tummy I'm almost positive she is preggy since my little one saw them doing their thing and I cought
them a few times too... Lyndsey was so mad at Glitter since Precious sounded like she was crying so here Lyndsey
thought he was hurting her & being mean to Precious... She was looking for the broom !:eek: omg I was like nooooo
sweety leave them alone..*giggles* it was easy to explain to her what was happening since we both love puppies all I
had to say they are "making puppies" she had more questions & I had some good answers.. Mommies are good for quick
come backs ;)
BTW Bruce your dog seems like one of a kind...You're so lucky to have her in your family. Very
intelligent & active just perfect for your kids.

Besides taking her to the vet
is there another way for me to find out if in fact she is pregnant?... They should come out with a pregnancy test
for animals too.. So I could just swing by Walgreens Pharmacy and get them*grins*
