Title: The PET thread.
Post by: Charger_Fan on July 20, 2005, 10:37:58 PM
New Charger home, new pet thread! ;D

My daughter's been wanting a pet duck for a while. I've tried talking her out of it because I assumed they were hard to take care of...so her  boyfriend decides to bring her a little duckling last March (I think he was trying for brownie points).
We all soon found out that ducklings require LOTS of attention! :yesnod:

Here he is on my lap while I'm yakking on D-C.com last March. At this point, we'd had him a couple weeks & we're not even sure if he's male or not.
(http://i.onfinite.com/GjB1Lvmt.jpg)

And in the tub, getting used to the water.
(http://i.onfinite.com/t6K1Lvmt.jpg)

Now he's full grown & has been for maybe 3 weeks!
He's a big quacking, wing flapping, splash master (whenever in/near any water).
(http://onfinite.com/libraries/543948/87b.jpg)

And still needs lots of attention.
He's also about twice the size of most any other ducky I've seen. :o
(http://onfinite.com/libraries/543946/245.jpg)

He doesn't like to hold still for pics, either. Here he's cleaning some feathers.
(http://onfinite.com/libraries/543947/f03.jpg)


Oh & his name is Walter. :)

We also currently have 3 cats, 1 wabbit, 6 frogs & a turtle.

Does he attempt to run or fly off?
Title: Re: The PET thread.
Post by: Charger_Fan on July 20, 2005, 11:03:41 PM
So far he hasn't tried to fly off. At first we were worried that he might do that, but so far the farthest he's flown has been about 15 feet, I think it even surprised him. :icon_smile_big:
He hasn't been around any other ducks yet, so I'm not sure he knows he's supposed to fly.

Here's my EV2 paint coded cat named Pete:

(http://fototime.com/07E8450A8C7C15E/standard.jpg)

He came before my EV2 "70 R/T SE, so it's a case of the car matching the cat.

We also have another cat named Evie.

So it get's even weirder!

Here's the two of them together:

I know they look like they sleep all the time from the pix, but usually they're causin' h*ll. ;D

We have 3 cats, 1 we picked to keep another one company years ago, & 2 of which that were dropped off near our house & abandoned just after they weren't kittens anymore.  ::)  I'm not going to include the carpenter ants since I've been eliminating them one by one. I think it's time to call the exterminator. My kid wants some kind of rodent as a pet now, but we had to explain that the cat won't know it's your pet, & just think we were kind enough to bring home some take out for her.

Cody in the 1st one, Bugsy in the 2nd one, & Velcro being anti-social.

Here is my dog "Scout". He's loves the water to the point that I had to put an extra fence around our above ground pool after several afternoons we got home and he was swimming around in the pool. I did'nt care that he was in the water but was afraid that he was going to rip the linner with his claws. After getting caught in the water, he then decided to step in a little pond we have in our back yard with fish and some frogs. He killed 2 goldfish by stepping on them. We also caught him the pond several times. I had to put a net across the top of the pond. I went to Toys r us and got him a baby's pool where he can lay in. I also have a cat (Claire) but she was not in the mood of having pictures taken of her. Oh, I forgot, now we have a baby snapping turtle (Dudley) I found at work after it was dropped by a seagull. As soon as Dudley becomes aggressive, he's going back to the beach.

Sebastian looks just like my cat, Mayhem (although I've taken to calling him "Ravages" - pronounced French style).

Don't let him fool ya, he's at least 20 pounds; a mini, black-and-white tiger.

I have another tuxedo tabby, Athena, but she lives with my parents since she only really likes my mom.
Title: Re: The PET thread.
Post by: TruckDriver on July 21, 2005, 03:48:27 PM
Sebastion weighs about 15 pounds. That's why I call him a cow. Shelby weighs about 15 pounds too. When they play and run, sounds like a damn stampeed.

Here is a pic of my two year old poodle/Pomeranian mix, Bandit. The funny thing is, I named him
Bandit because I had just recently watched Smokey & The Bandit. The name turned out to suit
him very well, he always tries to steel a scrap of food/newspaper, etc.

Two cats One fish (Don't really think the fish counts)

Alex is a Manx (almost no tail). My wife paid a lot of money for him and he has quite the personality.
First picture is Alex yawning in the sunlight.
Alex also like to drink out of the bathroom sink even though he is has a filtered running waterfall bowl in his bedroom (My wife spoils the crap out of this cat).

Max is a very gentle and grateful cat that I found by the Police Department (I worked in the building next door to the station). I'm sure someone dumped him there since there are no homes or apartments around. He was about 3 months old and weighed about three pounds when I found him under a bush. He has grown to be a very nice cat.

The last picture is the two of them being buds.

I agree about pitts being banned.  It's the owners who make them mean.  Utter prejudice coming from a country that's not supposed to be prejudice.  And I am sooo prejudice against prejudice!

I used to have a pitt-lab mix and she was the BEST dog!  Could walk her downtown without a leash as if she was on one.  When they talked about banning pitts around here, I made sure to do that downtown walking A LOT.  LOL!  Right in front of all the attorneys in town!

They didn't end up banning them here.   ;)

Sorry CB, I hope dobie pulls through OK.

We lost Chief on the 4th of July this year. We rescued him from the pound the day he was going to be put down and had him for the last ten years.

I just got back last night from a 300 mile trip to pick up our new 6 month old pup Zoe. I found her at a shelter in Iowa and she is a Husky/Chow Chow mix. If Chief had a daughter Zoe would be it. It took a few months before I could even think about getting another but, now it is nice to have a puppy running around again.

Husky/Chow mix, huh?     Cool.     My ex girlfriend of five years had a male husky/chow mix.   He was very fluffy and golden colored, very cool looking, he would try and talk, could say my name, with a huge bushy tail, mischevious,   independent, but good dog, happy disposition, smart.   I clocked him running next to the car at 37 mph.     Don't know if that is fast for a dog, but seemed pretty fast.   Hope you can post a pic of him, curious what he looks like.     Sorry about the losses some of you have suffered.   I miss the German Shepard   we had a lot that had to be put to sleep because of very bad arthritis.

Here are some pictures of Zoe at the shelter I got her from. She is not very big at around 50lbs although she may grow a little more. She is smart and well behaved...never acted up at all on the 150 mile trip home with me yesterday.

Chief looked very similar except he was a male and around 65-70 lbs.

Post by: SeattleCharger on October 13, 2005, 02:10:02 AM
That's a nice mix, has the husky look with a golden color.   Now that I look at those pics, I realize that the chow/husky mix we had was actually a Siberian husky/chow mix, which made him, "Nanuuk", very fluffy, they look a bit different.   His color was more like the color of Zoe's coloring on her forehead on that crease and behind her ears.   Hey, nice looking dog you have though.   He sort of had the same looking eyes and look in the eyes and same snout, face reminds me a lot of him.

The two on the left (Shelby & Lightning are both pure bread Samoyeds... Penny on the right, was thought to also be pure Samoyed but it turned out she was part wolf. The sad part is that she is no longer with us because of agressive behavior. We have also learned that her littermates ended up being put down for agression as well.

We really miss her still..... It was one of the most painful choices we have ever had to make.

Here is a picture of what she looked like when we adopted her....The other is her all grown up about 3 months before we had to put her down...

We have a couple of Japanese Fighting fish and a small tank of Sea-monkeys   :eyes:
Used to have a Beagle, but gave it to my brother. We just weren't home enough for him.
We get visiting rights though. :icon_smile_approve:

Are you joking about the Sea-monkeys?   Can you really have a tank of them and keep them alive?   I remember an episode of SouthPark was about them buying some and Cartman was their god or something.

No joke. But my wife accidentally tipped the tank onto the kitchen floor. Only two were left in there when we got it filled back up. And they lasted another day or two.

Now, when I say "tank", I'm talking about a little plastic setup that came with the sea-monkeys. It holds maybe 3 cups of water. But a t one point, I couldn't count how many critters were swimming around in there. It was busy!

They are actually brine shrimp.

I just realized that I only posted ducky pics in my first post, I didn't post pics of our other pets.

Ok, so here's our troublemaker. This is Rezzie (I dunno, the kids named her), she's about 2 years old.
Bad pic, she won't hold still very well for pics.

She loves to sleep in boxes...

This is a bad pic (today is bad pic day) of our male cat, Oglethourpe...pronounced just like it sounds. :smilielol:

Thourpe was planning some sort of revenge on Rezzie, who was napping before I came along...now he's acting all innocent. :angel:

This is Cecil the turtle. He looks just like this 95% of the time.

He's very shy. You can sorta see his nose in there. I should have fed him, THEN taken a pic...duh! :crazy:

This is Edgar the wabbit...the lop eared rasin-maker. ;D
Some say that wabbit's can be house broken...we haven't found any truth in that with Cecil. He'll leave a little rasin trail everywhere he goes, if we let him wander the house. :rotz:

Strat's 'farm animal' thread reminded me that I hadn't shown our Ducky #2. His name is Stanley.
We got him as a duckling last April, to give our older ducky Walter some company. The problem with ducklings is that they're all colored the same, so you're taking a gamble on which sex they end up being. For a while there, it looked like he might be female...which would open up a whole new can-o-worms. ::) Finally, his male colors came in & I could breath easier knowing that we weren't gonna have the family ducky population tripled by this time next year. ;D

Stanley is standing on the edge of the pool, Walter is below. Stanley is more of an average sized duck, Walter could pass as a goose in duck's clothing. He's big! :icon_smile_big:
Stanley also likes to test his flight possibilities more often than Walter. A few times, he's flown over the cage walls & into the dog's area...much to the delight of the dogs! He had a knee injured a while back from such an escapade, but it seemed to heal up well.

I just realized that I only posted ducky pics in my first post, I didn't post pics of our other pets.

Ok, so here's our troublemaker. This is Rezzie (I dunno, the kids named her), she's about 2 years old.
Bad pic, she won't hold still very well for pics.

We may breed Lex in the future if we find serious people who really love the breed and would take care of a pup.

It's an Malaysian Orchid Mantis. They are flower mimics, hence the name orchid mantis...

They are heavy for a small critter. I just like to watch them not hold them. Some of the ones I have can make you pretty sick if you get bit...

The sisters ( and Lexie) are show dogs and also have working lines and to my knowledge have not earned the SchH ratings (work ratings) yet but they are young as is Lex. Shak, the owner/breeder does train in both so I'm sure they are well on their way to the rating.
Zilla, the mother is SchH 1 meaning the first level of Schutzhund training. She was also a champion show dog in Europe.  According to SV rules a dog must earn at least the SchH 1 level plus other things like a Korklass to be bred.

Police dogs are usually Schh 3 plus additional police training as per the department they would work with. I've seen some K-9 dogs though that are very poorly trained.
I don't really have the interest for show and only train with the Schutzhund hence no V show rating for us.
Depending on your requirements and your training abilities I'd look for a dog with a SchH1 or higher but only if you know how to work the dog and then I'd get a good quality puppy and work from day one together, the dogs really love the training. 
For a pup you'd be looking at probably at least $1000 and up and for a good, well trained dog probably from $5000 - $10,000 or more depending on factors. You definitely want to look at pedigree for the last several generations.

If you get serious send me a line and we can chat. Maybe I can point you to someone who can help.

Most of the snakes are the hubbys. The ones that get huge are his. The rainbow boa and the milk snake are mine. The mantis is a cutie, it's tiny about the size of a dime. I found it online while looking for a new spider. They can be aggressive little beasts and they do hurt when they bite and scratch, they have sharp spikes on there arms for catching food...

Yeah I know about them hooks, I am pretty sure that is what snagged me.  That tarantula is gorgeuos. I have never seen a blue one before.  How much is that bugger gonna set you back?  I love bigger snakes.  I can't do the little ones.  My friend at the pet store is always trying to get me to buy one of those cornsnakes and other snakes that are really skinny and stay little, but I won't even touch them...they freak me out.  But bring me a huge python or boa and I'm right there wanting to hold it, pet it, play with it, take it home.

Yeah I know about them hooks, I am pretty sure that is what snagged me.  That tarantula is gorgeuos. I have never seen a blue one before.  How much is that bugger gonna set you back?  I love bigger snakes.  I can't do the little ones.  My friend at the pet store is always trying to get me to buy one of those cornsnakes and other snakes that are really skinny and stay little, but I won't even touch them...they freak me out.  But bring me a huge python or boa and I'm right there wanting to hold it, pet it, play with it, take it home.

If I told you you would think I was crazy. I'm hopping to get a baby one so it shouldn't cost as much...  Still a bit pricey. My hubby thinks I'm a nut case with them as it is...

The bunny Shelby rescued and nursed back to health. She set her alarm and bottle feed the little guy every 2 hours.

I was on a riding mower a couple week back and ran over a full nest of them about half that size.......I had deck just high enough and all were unscathed :o

Here is Stumpy and Frisky. Stumpy likes to go wherever I go. He likes fishing and hanging out in the garage always hoping for a ride. The last time I fired the charger up it had a pretty much rusted away exhaust system and sounded like open headers and he jumped right in. Loud cars don't frighten him but he don't care for air tools though.

Cute little bugger, Chris. :thumbs:

Our 'Meathead' (Pit Bull) likes those little red squeaky toys too...but they don't last very long. He has the feet pulled off in a matter of minutes, then about a half hour later it's in at least 3 pieces. Last time I was at the pet store, I got him a TIRE to chew on! :D
He got a chunk out of it the first day, but I think he gave up on the shredding idea. Now he just likes to play tug with it. :lol:

Because we're gonna move in a month or so and we cant take them with us. Were staying in the same town but we're moving to a smaller house (so small I lose the garage and get a carport :icon_smile_blackeye:) but yea, we thought July would of been a good time to let them go because its warm and etc and it will give them time to gain weight and get ready to burrow for the winter/fall.

Yeah but those were never wild..........they probably will die anyway since they don't know how to feed during the heavy winter?

Basically, they had a ground pen type thing so they ate the grass and etc. Also, they both escaped during fall last year and anyways, they were gone for 3-4 weeks. We ended up finding their burrows and capturing them and putting them back in the cage. So they have some "experience" ;). Also, our winters arent that bad over here...mostly rainy.

Last month my daughter wanted a bird, but changed her mind & then wanted a mouse. I wasn't really into having any pet that has to stay in a cage, but my wife said it might be nice to let her get something. I wasn't going to be the mean bastard, so I said go ahead, but I'm not cleaning any cages. Well, she picked out a mouse & it only took a couple of weeks before it was very tame & not terrified to be handled. She's been good with it, & at 8 years old, she finally has her own pet to take care of. She's been cleaning the cage & feeding the mouse on a regular basis without complaining. I know I wouldn't have at that age.  :lol:

A week after we had it, we had to put one of our cats down that had a tumor in her throat that kept her from eating & drinking. Now a second cat of ours has a bunch of small tumors on her back that can't be removed. I guess having the mouse now is good for the timing. My daughter is worried over the one cat & misses the other, but the mouse is keeping her occupied. She wanted me to post a pic of her new friend who seems kind of cool for a rodent. She named her "Wheels" since she spends all damn day running on her wheel, lol. Next lesson for my daughter to learn fast is to keep her bedroom door closed or else the cat with the tumor will have a snack.    :o

He will come up to me and ill pick him up and walk around with him he's pretty cool. I can't bring him in the house he probably shit all over, as long as im holding him he wont shit. :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big:  Mallard   Mally thats where i got my screen name from the first duck i had his name was mally..  the one in the pic's name is bo or boo  he responds to both.. :2thumbs:

This is our Aussie.  Her name is Annie.  The first picture is a little out of focus but she is acting a little like a Kangaroo checking out my GN right after we brought it home.  The other is a little better picture of her relaxing on the floor of our RV.

Great looking ducky, Mally! :thumbs: Our duck got through molting about 3 weeks ago, now he looks all purty again. Do you have a pen to keep him in, or do you just let him wander about? Our neighborhood is packed together fairly well, so we can't let Walter out of the back yard unsupervised.
What sort of pool do you have for him? I'm looking for a new idea, our existing one is getting worn out.

BTW, there's a lady who makes DIAPER HARNESSES (http://www.thegoosesmother.com/id47.html) for ducks & geese, if you feel like changing diapers. :lol: They definitely love to shit everywhere...I've pretty much nicknamed our duck "gravy butt". I don't call him by his real name any more. :smilielol:

Yea i have a 10x10 x8 chain link fence that i had all three of my ducks in  but a coon got in there and took two of them, so now i have Bo or boo in the biggest dog kennel i could find, As for the pool, i bought a 75 gal rubbermaid  tub that i put under the rain spout at the end of the garage that i put him in it has a screw in drain plug so it pretty easy. I drain it before every rain so it gets filled back up with clean water. I usually every morning let bo run around the yard all day then i put him back in the kennel, he got so used to going in there at night i usually just have to go out and shut the door he goes in by himself.   What do you have for a pool, can you pick up malter or is he pretty timid. Does he stay pretty close to your house or does he wonder off?

We have a fenced back yard, so he can't get out unless we take him out. I made him a wooden pen, with chicken wire stapled on the outside to give him some security. He stays there each night. There's a larger area & sectioned off with chain link to keep our dogs from getting too crazy with him when he's out of the pen. He likes to play with them & tug on whatever he can get his beak on, but the dogs can trample him in short order if they're too excited.
The pool is a kiddie's swimming pool that we clean once a week. I'd like to get something deeper so he can stretch his legs more when he's swimming, that's why I asked about yours. I was probing for ideas. ;D

In March '06, we got another duckling (Stanley) so Walter had some company. At first, they did nothing but fight...it took a couple weeks before they'd play nicely. Stanley stuck around until January '07, then flew off one day when it was below zero outside...I guess he had enough of the cold. :lol:  Walter doesn't fly very far, he's too fat.  :icon_smile_big:
(can't remember if I posted this pic here already & too lazy to go looking)

(http://onfinite.com/libraries/1032473/3a2.jpg)

Our current pool is smaller than this one...this one developed a big leak about a week before a big wind storm blew a smaller one into the yard. Perfect! :icon_smile_big:

(http://onfinite.com/libraries/1008920/4f3.jpg)

Walter is pretty tame & trusting with people he knows, but he won't let strangers within arm's reach. I pick him up fairly regularly, I think he likes being up high. :lol:

Post by: mally69 on November 22, 2007, 08:29:36 AM
Yea, i used to keep using those kiddie pools, but they always got hole's in them and they werent deep enough, they have all differnt sizes of those tub's like i bought. im pretty sure they have a few different smaller ones than i have and they are really thick so they will last probably forever ;D  one of the ones i had few away but the was in the yard the next morning must have gotten  hungry :shruggy: bo is kinda fat comapred to the other ones i had always thought he couldnt fly until onee day he lifted off flew they holeway around the house it was neet watching him flap around.
Its kinda strange bo will let certain strangers pick him up and others he will run away from.

Post by: Old Moparz on December 21, 2007, 10:51:11 AM
At the end of the summer my daughter got a pet mouse. I wasn't too keen on this since we have a pet cat, & my daughter would forget her head if it wasn't attached to her neck. Anyway, she named the mouse "Wheels" since she spent a lot of time on the exercise wheel. A few months later, the mouse fell & broke it's back. It didn't die, but to get around the poor thing drags her back legs. (Here comes the crazy part.) My wife took the mouse to the vet since our daughter was so upset, & the vet said try some anti-inflammatory medicine for a few days & see what happens.

So now, twice a day my wife wraps Wheels in a small towel leaving her head sticking out, while I somehow manage to get a plastic syringe into it's mouth to squirt the medicine. Well, the mouse seemed okay, but still dragged itself around. Now instead of running on the wheel, she stayed inside her nest looking depressed. I'm not sure if she started drinking, but I noticed the Wild Turkey was disappearing faster & suggested to my wife that instead of having to deal with an alcoholic mouse, we should get her a companion. (Yeah, I didn't want a mouse but invited a second one) So my daughter was excited & picked out a white baby mouse that was in the snake food bin at the pet store & named it "Baby Mouse". 

They're both actually very tame & the first one, Wheels, is friendlier than the dumb cat we have....LOL. I doubt the thing will have full use of the rear legs again, but amazingly she can move & use them. I guess the vet was right & the medicine worked. Nothing like spending $75 to fix a $4.99 mouse.  :lol:

I thought I posted in this thread.

SFRT, your Bengals are beautiful.  There's no doubt they're a different breed, ours like water, being under the covers and being up as high as possible, like in the closets.  The wife and daughter want another, but two are enough.

Hemi is orange, & 'cuda is the gray one.  Other than the above similarities, the personalities are opposite.  Hemi is afraid of strangers and actually growls when the doorbell is rung as he runs to hide. 
'cuda is vocal and will approach anyone.  She also adores my daughter.

Here's Popeye we found him in a wood pile with his brother 8 years ago.

And Kirby I found him in a shed with three other kittens about 2-3 years ago.

And of course the newest addition Cinnamon.

I am sad to say the Dread Pirate Roberts aka Westley has passed away.  His collar was hung up on the fence and it got twisted and he passed last Memorial Day.  He was a rescue from the Humane Society and was a beagle/yorkie mix.

Here's my newest additions... Benny (the tri-color) and Jett (the black one). Approximately 11-12 weeks old, shelter rescues from the same litter, although they don't look much alike. The mom was a collie/shepherd mix, and the father was speculated to be a lab. They have excellent dispositions, endless energy, and certainly filled the void and silence left by Buddy, our ailing Golden that we had to have put down a few weeks ago. (see reply #26 earlier this thread)

Actually, Benny was initially named Beethoven.... we didn't care that much for it, even though he does resemble a miniature St. Bernard (for now), so we came up with Benny (based on the Elton song)... it just somehow seemed to fit!

Sorry about your Golden. 

May I ask, did it shed much?  Why didn't you replace it with another Golden?

We've been talking about getting a dog for a couple years now.  I want a Golden, the girls want something smaller.  I want one cause I hear they're great with kids and what little I've been around them they too had decent disposition.

This is Buck, my Sheltie. Sadly he developed a brain tumor and had to be put down at age 15 about 7 years ago. He's about 12 in this picture. His favorite people foods were bananas and popcorn but he would eat damn near anything  ;D. He went with us on my dad's second deployment overseas, and also lived in Texas, NC, and Kansas. I plan to get a new dog for myself as soon as the weather warms up here. The black and white poodle mix is Oreo. He's my mom's third child, he follows her everywhere. He's a rescue dog from the Humane Society, and also the boss of my mom and stepdad's other three dogs (all WAY bigger than him). This photo is from our Christmas trip to Texas in 2002.

Yeah, I did! The lil' sucker slipped under the door of the garage when I put trash in the cans.  :flame: He enjoyed checking out CB's interior, and slipping into the trunk since there is no back seat yet! The garage is quite cramped with two chargers in it so I couldn't open CB's door,............so I start calling him nicely a few times, and then MOMMA GOT MAD!!!! (I know, this NEVER works with cats!) :rotz: I went and got CB's keys to open the trunk, but I forgot he has no lock in it yet!! :brickwall: So the lil' FU*#ER just smiled at me from the trunk!  :RantExplode: :nana: I did manage to get him out! He did NO damage! (He physically can't spray either! Vet told us that due to surgery!) So no worries CB! BTW CB: Chilly thinks your ride is sweet! Meow! :smilielol:

Whelp, we adopted another cat. We got 5 now :P  The druggie neighbour we had, that everyone in the building hated, (I live in a 8 family apartment) finally got locked away for a long time. His friends came around looking for someone to take the cat. We thought the cat was dead or long gone because we haven't seen or heard him in a while. So, I was happy to hear it is in great shape. He is about 6 months old. The other guy never named him we were told, so we named him KANE. If you watch WWE wrestling, you know who Kane is. Kane is one of the most relaxed cats I think I ever owned. The way he is laying in the pic with my oldest son, is how Kane is all the time.

 Excerpts from a Cat's Diary




Day 983 of my captivity...                                                 
                                                                           
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.     
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed   
hash or some sort of dry nuggets.                                         
                                                                           
Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I             
nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.           
                                                                           
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.  In an attempt   
to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.                         
                                                                           
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.   
I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly     
demonstrates what I am capable of.  However, they merely made             
condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.  Bastards. 
                                                                           
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight.  I was       
placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.  However, I 
could hear the noises and smell the food.  I overheard that my confinement
was due to the power of 'allergies.'  I must learn what this means and how
to use it to my advantage.                                                 
                                                                           
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my       
tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.  I must try this 
again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.                           
                                                                           
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.   
The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems 
to be more than willing to return.  He is obviously retarded.             
                                                                           
The bird has got to be an informant.  I observe him communicating with the
guards regularly.  I am certain that he reports my every move.  My captors
have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is     
safe.  For now................

The look that cat is giving you is like "I will burn you." :icon_smile_big:

Our dog is big and bad against our three outside cats when she is inside, but when the dog and cats are together, she runs from them. :nana:

We lost 'Little Rezzie' (on the right) last weekend. :'(

(http://onfinite.com/libraries/794243/8be.jpg)

The worst part is that I'm to blame...I was working in the back yard & had let the dogs out of their pen. Rezzie came over to say hi in an area that's normally quite safe, Braxton (the dog) spooked her, she ran & the chase was on. Normally she has no problem getting away, but for whatever reason, he caught her & wouldn't let go until she stopped fighting.
I beat the shit out of him, trying to make him let go, but no avail.
After she drew her last breath, I came this >< close to putting a .44 through his head.

(http://onfinite.com/libraries/1403149/c99.jpg)

I didn't though.
After a couple hours, I realized that it's mostly instinct that made him do that...much like when one of the cats kills a mouse. Now that I know he may do that again I will be much more careful...if only I wasn't out there that day, none of that would have happened. :'(

Hope the pup never turns on one of your family members like that.  That happened to my buddy's dog.  Had it since birth(GS) and at 14 the dog turned on him and tore his arm to shreds.  He took the dog for a walk and put him down.  I remember him in tears about it. 
Sorry for the loss of your pet BTW, always tough no matter how it happens.

Mike, if something like that happens, he'll definitely go for a 'walk'. So far, this is the only problem we've had like this in four years. Hope it stays that way, for everyone's sake.

Cute dog, get a cat :D then the weight will come off. I noticed in the winter my dog gains like 5lbs. He is a small dog and goes from like 17 to 22 in the winter. In the summer he doesn't lay around as much, and goes out more and chases rabbits and squirrels....and of course the cat.

He's the one that is darker and at the back of the couch! Got them both for free, and tons of pet stuff to boot!  :2thumbs: Our kids are so happy!!!!!  :yesnod:   It's funny,......... and cool at the same time,...........the dogs wore out the kids, and vise versa!  :lol: Here is a quick pic. that I took.

1. the old man (Sir E. Wok Sabretooth) whos gone now, was almost 14 when he left, he's closest to the wife wondering why that punk kid girl is leaning on him. she is in the 4th pic

2. the brothers Twister (brown one) and Vader (black as in Darth Vader), they were cute as puppies but started fighting each other so we gave away Twister, he's almost all white now, Vader is just grey now, they are about 5 years old

3. the piglet of the group, Chewy (Chewbacca), about 35 lbs now, he's 7

4. the girl, Precious (we tried to get our son to call her Princess Leigha but he wouldn't go for it, damn 9 years olds think they know everything), she's the boss of the house now that E.Wok is gone, she's 9 now

A friend of mine has a female husky and a male wolfdog. They are both really beautiful and well behaved. This was all the snow we had in Atlanta this year.

Well, here you go. Meet Lilly, or as I like to call her Lillian(as in LILLIAN, the bit#$ has fallen down the steps again... in my best Eddie Murphy)

I know, what the hell is Mike doing with a pet in his house, and a cat to boot. 

Well, the next post should answer that.

Lillian is 8 years old and was badly abused.  This cat doesn't like to be touched much or picked up at all.  My guess is the cat was abused by a woman because I've known the cat for all of 2 nights and it has slept with me both nights and actually follows me wherever I go.  I can pet her no problem where she just about hisses at everyone.  Hasn't hissed at me once. I find it kind of amusing.


Oh yeah, this is the cat's owner by the way.  Any more questions?? :smilielol:    :icon_smile_big:

Here's one of my dog Chico or Smelly she answers to both. A local pet store gave her to us probably about 6 years ago. If someone didn't take her by the end of the day they were going to carry her to the pound and I couldn't let that happen. The white ball of fur next to her is Moms Pomeranian Steve. He wouldn't stay still long enough for me to get a good pic of them together.

Wife and I recently gained a new member of our family. His name is Buster. He's a purebread Shi-tzu, FULL of P... and vinegar!! He LOOVES playing with our other family members, Tucker (Shi-tzu), and Ricky (Maltese). Any way, me and the wife and the out-laws went to Rodgers flea market last Friday and decided to separate the children to give them a break from each other, (actually give Tuck and Rick a break from Bus!). We left Tuck in the living room, Rick behind a closed door in the bedroom, and Bruiser (Buster) in the children's play room (the mud room). I guess Buster decided he just absolutely couldn't live a second longer with out a play mate so he did this!! Then pushed the bedroom door open and freed his buddy (Ricky). Glad he didn't get stuck in that door going thru it!!.

We had 4 cats at one time several years ago, but since none of them were young, they ended up either being very sick & had to be euthanized, or simply died from old age. When our last cat died this past summer, our daughter Kate who's been badgering us for a kitten of her own, again asked if she can have a kitten. It would have been easy to say yes, but she has a live cat toy......I mean a pet mouse.

She's 10 & never remembers to close doors, turn off lights, or pays attention to where she has her mouse, so a kitten would mean instant death to the poor thing. I told her that if she doesn't get any more mice & waits, she can get a kitten. I added that we aren't going to the store for one, but will adopt one that needs a home. She has no patience & every now & then asked for her own kitten, especially when she comes back from the pet store with supplies for her mouse.

So last Thursday, I hear a meow outside my office window. A couple of people at my office were feeding a stray kitten that suddenly showed up. It was scared so I assumed it was lost or dumped here by some a-hole who thinks "It's a cat, it'll survive by killing it's food." I set a trap Friday that catches small animals alive, but it was too small & too light to trigger it. On Sunday I came back with my wife & daughter & set the trap again.

My daughter coaxed the kitten out from under the dumpster & it went right into the trap to eat. Of course it didn't trigger it again, so I snuck up behind the dumpster & triggered the trap myself with a stick. It worked, but the cute little kitten suddenly turned into a Tasmanian Devil that tried to pry open the bars on the trap to get out, remove the stick from my hand & beat me into a coma while it laughed.

Fortunately, that didn't happen. We took it home, let it calm down, fed it, & transferred it to a kennel cage. On Monday when I came home from work, my daughter had the kitten in her arms petting it & making it purr. It is very friendly, a female, appears to be in good health, used the litter box already, & about 2 months old. The thing has shorter legs than usual & a stubby tail, so we think it might be part "Bobtail" (If that's the right name?)

It's going to the vet later today & more than likely will stay with us. That means my daughter finally got her own kitten that she even helped catch. I suggested calling it Stumpy or Igor, but my daughter just rolled her eyes at me & said she named her Jo-Jo.  :lol:

Here's Jo-Jo

Our miniature schnauzer Stumpy has been diagnosed as being anemic. If he lives through the end of the year we will be lucky. He was fine up until like a week ago....then boom it just hit him. He was lucky over the summer when he swallowed a treble hook. He had surgery and  recovered from that with no problems. Me and my wife have really become attached over the 12 years we have had him.  The wife has really taken this pretty bad, so bad that she took off work yesterday. Since I am off work from surgery for a little longer it is a good thing because we have to let him out to pee every 2-3 hours. After I go back to work this won't be so good. maybe he will pass before then. 90% don't survive, so we can do is pray. He has been the smartest and the best dog we ever had. Here is a couple pics of him on our vacation early this year.

Very sorry to here about that, Animals mean soooo much to us   :yesnod: :yesnod:

This Lab we lost 3yrs ago, was my second favorite dog. He had bad hip dysphasia at the age of 8mo.

We did the surgery on the right hip at 9mo,  them the other hip at almost 11mo, it was big bucks.

It was worth every penny, he was 13yrs old in this picture, he lasted about 4mo after this was taken.

This was the second best retrieving dog I ever had, he lived for it.

Thanks Dan, and sorry to hear about your dog as well. Like the saying goes - their is dog owners and there is dog lovers. I have had outside dogs before and when they perish it didn't hit home like this one will.

Sorry to hear about Stumpy.  Benign I'm guessing? 

We took our pupster in for a puppy wart that had dried blood & stuff surrounding it.  He's OK now, last day of meds & it's all gone.  I guess dogs' get them & they go away.  :shruggy:

Tigger is growing like mad - I just took him to the vet last week for his latest round of shots and a checkup, he's already about 55 pounds! He's not even six months old yet. His training is coming along great, he's fully housebroken now and I installed a doggy door so I don't have to come home during the day to let him out. He still gets a little bitey when playing but I'm working on that.

Adorable! I love Beagles! "Snoopy" was one of my best dogs ever. I named him that because the first thing he did when we brought him home was stick his puppy nose down and explore every inch of the entire 5 bedroom house! My ex brother in law volunteers for Beagle Rescue here in town so I may end up fostering a little nipper if things go well next year.  :cheers:

The huge tumor that was removed in November ended up being cancerous. We lost him today.........thanks for the concern everyone. Here is my favorite pic of him.

Just kidding.  :icon_smile_wink:  The puppy is doing well as Roxy is showing him the ropes. Sitting with his big sister at street corners before crossing, waiting until released, "leave it" command, ect. But I don't know what it is about cat poop (and we have two generators living in our house) that he loves.... :icon_smile_dissapprove:

Neat thread, here is my whole family, except Tyler, who is off doing 21 year old stuff.

Me, Carly, Cody (no tail) Holly, and Midori  (Coronet)


Great picture, great to see you at the last Seattle Mopar meeting, and your car looks great.
You left at the same time I did from the meeting, but my mini van just was not able to keep

Puppy dog's gotten big, he'll be a year old on Saturday.  Here he's using the cat to rest his head on.

He & I have become buddies.  I take him on walks down below our subdivision.  There's a paved 7 mile path alongside Burnt Bridge Creek.  Usually when I take him out I think to myself, "Ah, this is great getting out & exercising."  Then I realize the only thing I'm exercising is my thumb.  ;)

This is our 10 year old Siberian Husky Isis... We just learned that she is very ill and doesn't have much time left.  She is a wonderful dog that will not suffer one minute longer than she needs to... I just pray that she's with us for a little while...  :'( :'( :'(

Oh and BTW I spent 3 of the best hours just now with her... she is sooo awesome.

I can handle bad thing's happening to people but when a Animal is hurt it really hurts me deep inside.

Well... Isis and I visited a specialist today and received some encouraging news... She does have cancer of the liver, but it is operable... It will set us back about 4 grand... but my baby is worth it... It just means that my quest for a 71 RR/GTX is on hold for a bit... such is life.. my pup appears to be feeling good and happy and that makes my family good and happy... She's not out of the woods but it's looking like she may be okay.  Thanks for the support guys.

Jeff thanks for inquiring about Isis... I haven't posted in a while but I am happy to report that Isis had her surgery on April 30th and they removed 90% of her cancer... since then she's been getting better everyday  ;D  She's pretty much back to herself @ 5years old which is amazing considering she's 10!

Here she is yesterday investigating my son's new car

Vet rescinded her first thought that my Gainesville street dogs are Huskies. She, after seeing Max, has realized they are Akita mixes. Doesn't matter at 62 lbs Max is a bulldozer. He has the strength of a dog twice his size. Now all are fixed and doing well.

You can add food-grade diatomaceous earth to his water, it'll kill all kinds of worms and bacteria, with the exception of the bacteria the stomach is supposed to have in it.  You can ingest it too.  You can use it as a flea killer and sprinkle it on your carpet and in the yard.  You can put it on garden plants to keep bugs away.  You can mix it with grain and keep bugs out of the grain.  Lots of great uses.

Google it!

Our male, Hemi, had urinary issues.  Last summer he was walking around with his crayon out crying.  We took him to the vet & they cathed him to drain his bladder & he spent 5 days there @ $1900.--.  They said when they revived him that he almost didn't make it & that he could never be put under again.

A couple weekends ago my wife woke me up crying that he was having problems again & she knew what was gonna happen. 

So, this is Zeus.  A male Snow Bengal.  His Father was a good size cat.  Zeus sat on my lap & let me pet him for several minutes while his litter mates ran all over the room.

This is my work partner "Artol". We have been a team since Nov. 2001 and he is retiring at the end of this month. He is a Belgian Malinois (pronounced /ˈmælɪnwɑː/) and we are an Explosives Detection Team. He has been a fantastic partner all these years. This is a rare pic of him as he can't stand having a camera or anything else for that matter pointed at him so I have to catch him off guard....lol. He weighs in at only 68lbs but he is allot of dog for his size.
Though he's going to be 11yrs old, he use to be able to clear an 8' fence with ease. He's extremely fast and quick and always ready for a fight....lol. He get's allot of respect at work and I've never seen him cower to anything. He will be at home with the Mrs. everyday starting in Jan. '11 when I start a new K9 school with a new partner. I'm told the new guy will be a Labrador or a Shepard. The powers that be haven't decided as yet though time is running out. Regardless, "Artol" will always be my main guy.

Post by: ODZKing on February 20, 2011, 12:10:54 AM
Looking at that reminds me of our Maine Coon - Spazzy. He will only drink from faucets, running. In May he'll be 15.
Interesting note: we recently noticed he has been loosing some weight.  We tried different food but it is starting to get noticable.  So we took him to the vet Friday and while he only has lost a pound since his last visit, that is like 20 to you and me. So naturally, they did the blood work and thyriod tests.  Turns out ... thyroid. 
Here is the interesting part, there are 3 ways to treat it.  Medication, surgery or a new proceedure where they inject radio-active matter into the thyroid and it actually destroys part of the thyroid, bringing it back to a normal level.  I believe they said it can be done at Cornell which isn't too far from us.  Also, that is the safest method, so they say.
Medication = $.60 a day or $18.00/mo.  Surgery, least safe, especially at his age.  Injection, about $1500.00, but I'm told it is very successful.

Would anyone know of proven home remedies to get rid of tapeworms?  My 5mo old American Bulldog has them.  I already took him to the vet and they gave him those little white pills, but he still has worms in his stool.  Does anyone also know what I can pour on them to kill them (besides gas or diesel).  I don't want them nasty things in my yard.  Thanks for any help or advice.

P.S.  He was 6wks old in this photo.

Yes, I was finally able to get rid of the worms.  Sorry to hear about the skin allergies.  What are you feeding him?  I'm no expert, but if you are feeding him doggy food that has a lot of corn or corn by-products, it may irritate his skin.  Right now, I am feeding him dog food I buy at Costco.  Seems to be doing well with it.  Mine also had demodectic mange at approximately six months.  It wasn't too bad, just a few bald spots, but he is all good now. 

I had never owned an American Bulldog, but he is a great dog!!  Very strong, but at the same time very gentle and patient with my 6 and 3 yr old boys.  Although he has tiger stripes my little ones named him "Pinto" and the name stuck.

here is our favorite squirrel chunk. when the food isnt out in time he/she comes and stares into the back window. also climbs the tree outside the window waiting for dinner to be served.
That's a big squirrel. Chunk suits him/her well.  :2thumbs:

My dog Bodie, (yellow lab mix), finally goes under the knife tomorrow at 8:30am to loose his manhood!  :icon_smile_blackeye: Im so nervous since hes got back/hip issues from his past of being beaten. (we rescued him from a bad place that never had water, food, love, anything! And they beat him!  :flame:) Hes shy at first to someone new, but just a wonderful animal now! Great watchdog. Hes 3yrs old from what we understand. Super protective of our lil girl and hangs with the big kid during rabbitt season too. So if ya see this, think good thoughts for my Bodie!  Thanks.  :2thumbs:

Erika & I and Rex & Mindy (our dogs) and Cocoa & Cassie (our cats) and Shah (our horse) all wish Bodie the very best.
We will keep our finger's, paws and hooves crossed for him.
As far as losing his doghood goes...............that's really very straight forward and shouldn't interfere with his other issues.  All will go well.
p/s Our Mindy the greyhound in particular wishes Bodie all the best as she was also rescued from an awful fate (namely death row) When we first got her she wouldn't look us in the eye and was terrbly withdrawn and very timid. She had never played with a ball before and didn't know what to do with any of the toys we got for her. But after a couple of months of getting to know us and that little thing called love................she came out of her shell and is the most lovable dog you could ever wish for. She's our welcoming committee.............anyone that comes to our house gets a big hello from her.  :2thumbs:

Fred, now that I've finished work and am on holiday, here's the bird pics
Left top, Alexandrines, Zeus and Apolo, probably my favourites, they are a pretty muscley bird up close and train well too
Moustached parakeets
Blue Indian ringneck parakeets
Plum Head parakeets, cock bird is plum, hen is gray.
When we decided to build our 1st house, its just didnt have enough room on the section for the avairies so we sold the lot to one guy who had heaps of birds, and after 3 years of tending them it was time for a change - birds are a lot of work especially breeding pairs

Tommy the Eclectus parrot, talked a lot and pretty cool, had him for about 6 years until my wife became quite ill and had to go into care for a while, at the time I had a big away project on with work and was away for 12+ hours a day, so we decided in fairness to Tommy that we would rehome him . The new owner was good and would take him to work with her and he became the star attraction in a sewing type of factory with all the women there fussing over him and talking non stop, that was cool
Max the Staffie, a most excellent canine companion, sadly departed
Title: Re: The PET thread.
Post by: Fred on December 23, 2011, 08:24:00 PM
Thanks for the pics. BobT. The birds are just beautiful. The Plum Head parakeets are just gorgeous.
Just love the staffy. Have always had Rottweilers but the current one will more than likely be the last. We're going to downsize to Staffies (our second favourite breed) after him.
Wish you and your family a super Xmas.

Yup... he wears a sheepskin padded harness.  The seatbelt itself slips through a loop on the harness.  He used to travel in a kennel, but likes the harness better as it allows him a little more room to move around (sit up and lie down) and a lot more to look at.    :yesnod:

I'm training him to chew on Chevy and Ford owners...    :D

My wife has a station wagon now so the dogs are in the back but in her previous sedan the dogs were always harnessed up to the seatbelts.
Much safer that way for all. Big dogs not buckled up would mean big trouble if she ever had to break suddenly.

Absolutely Bob. I think that with big dogs like that it's important that they be purebred as temperament is so important.
Also they need to be screened for things like hip dysplasia etc. And you can only get that from a good breeder as they breed only from healthy stock with good bloodlines..

Exactly, do your homework/background checks on the breeder and pay their price for the good bloodline/lineage pup, it will pay off in the long run definetly, thats the route we took and are very happy with our dog.

But with plenty of patience and obedience training and of course socialising all will be fine.  Plenty of praise when he's good is what it's all about.

Thanks a bunch John, I'm the one that tends to ruin our dogs (especially with over feeding...........I'm a sucker for those big sad eyes, which is just an act they put on, I know, to get what they want but I can't help myself) but my wife keeps a short rein on me.

After about 10 months of poochlessness (our dog of 12 years died last spring) we found this guy in need of a home. Looks like, and we've been told, he's a 4-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd. He's been bounced around so he comes with some baggage. Last fall he was found stray and taken to the Vancouver, WA Humane Society where the mother of a friend of ours adopted him. After about four months of misery the woman discovered she is severely allergic to the dog and gave him to her daughter. Their 12-year-old son was expected to care for the dog but they found out the dog is a bit hard-headed and likes to complain and growl. So we decided to give it a try and we've had him five days now.

Yes, he is a growler although I think 80% of it is actually moaning and groaning and complaining instead of actual growling. He is hard-headed and stubborn but I think he's going to work out. Last night I had a go-around with him about sleeping in his bed instead of the middle of the floor. I booted his butt out into the hallway a couple times and then gave him a couple of opportunities to obey and he finally figured it out. We're going to take him to the vet on Thursday and then see about getting him enrolled in a local obedience training course asap.

He's gorgeous, I hope it all works out. He's probably still a bit unsure of you and needs to figure out where he fits in but once a routine is established he will learn his place and no doubt be content. And obedience training never goes astray and this dog will love it. It will keep his mind occupied. He will more than likely enjoy some agility work too as they like to be kept active.  :2thumbs:

Oh she is not alone.
With all of the other dogs and cats I doubt she is getting a lick of rest.

Hope she is doing better soon.  Love the color of her coat.

As most here know, we have a 10 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi....he sleeps on his back, he snores, he runs our house, and he knows it...

It was a nice sunny warm day today...Cappy was sitting at our French doors looking outside....he sees a squirrel, I opened the door and he went outside...chased that squirrel for 15 seconds around the back yard...

and he caught it...I could not believe my eyes watching him....

For an older Corgi with 4" legs...he can move pretty good

Bryan (PS: the squirrel lived...I separated the squirrel from Cappy's mouth, took Cappy inside and the little guy left)

They were all unwanted cats. Beaner is the short hair. And the long hair is Dexter. He is a Norwegian Forest Cat. They are very similar to a Maine Coon. Someone tossed him in our parking lot during Irene.

Lacerations on eyes, ears, claws ripped out, and the worst......his tongue is slashed from left to right to the middle of his tongue!!!!!!! Hes on pain meds, antibiotics, liquid food. My son is just so upset!! Its his first pet and he grew up with him! Poor "Chilly" did not deserve this, especially being attacked on our porch!!!!!!!!!!

Well its touch and go at this point. The rip on his tongue is in way back of his mouth. Since cats lap up their water and food, not to mention cleaning themselves its a struggle for him. Its disturbing to see him attempt to do these things. Hes on his pain meds, and antibiotics. He is eating small amouts at a time. (Wet food mixed with the liquid food.) The thing we have to watch for is an infection and swelling on his tongue, as that can block his breathing! They cant stitch the tongue. They said it should heal back together....... keep your fingers crossed.

I too am sorry to hear about you guys' pets, and I wish you the best.  They really do become members of the family. 


The wife and I have 2 jack/rat terriers.  They are quite a handful, but they will keep the critters out of the yard.  They have a little trouble with coons and usually wind up getting help from me to get out of those situations.  They have more grit than they have anything to back it up! 


The first picture is my female named Rudy.  She is 4 years old. 

The other picture is my wife's dog Diesel.  He is Rudy's brother from a later litter.  He is 2 now.

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

It hurts for sure.  I/we had to put one of our cats down earlier this year.  We called him Spock.  Sometimes Mr. Spock.  He was only 10.5 years old.  Poor little guy came home in pain (I was in the shower), our dog kept him still on the stairs went and got my wife, then back to Spock, then to my wife then to Spock.  Then the little guy hide.  I got him.  We put him into a carrier.  He was uncomfortable and letting us know it.  We rushed him to the vet, he was diagnosed with a blood clot and the vet wasted no time in giving us his recommendation.  We trust these guys, that helped me some.  I looked at my wife and she nodded her head and said it's ok Rob.  We had to let him go and end his pain.  The vet listened to his heart and said he had a murmur and probably had it for years.  He beat the odds living to the age of 10.5.  Usually the don't last past 3years.

I hurt me and still does.  I miss that cat.  I was also very worried about my dog Jake.  He loved Spock.  They slept together and bathed each other.  I couldn't help wonder how he would cope.  Doesn't seem to hard done by strangeley enough.  Oddly Jake and the other cat Louie haven't grown any closer.


Rest In Peace my little friend.

He was pretty young in the above photo.  The good thing is he did almost whatever he wanted with his life.  It broke my heart sometimes and I'd worry about him like crazy when he went outside at night but I couldn't, and wouldn't break his spirit.
(http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/xx102/bobs69/Spockupclose03-04-09_1707.jpg)
This pictures doesn't do justice for his eyes.  He had beautifull yellow eyes.
(http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/xx102/bobs69/12-06-08_2334.jpg)
He always had his tongue sticking out.  Kind of silly.  And he would stick his legs out straight behind himself when laying down.  He was a delightfully odd little fellow.

Sorry to hear the sad news Lisa, hope all goes well.

It's never easy losing a pet Bryan (and everyone else here whose gone through it) whether it's through natural causes or through illness. Fred and I had a whole week to try to come to terms with having our last Rottie put to sleep at 3 1/2 years of age as he had terminal cancer and was starting to suffer. And even though you think you're ready.......you really aren't. It was the sadest time. The vet came to our home and did the job and it was so, so sad. I couldn't stop crying. And for the next 6 months or so I'd just burst into tears at the most ridiculous times and places. But that will never stop us from owning pets. I would rather go through it (hard as it is) than not own a pet. We just need to enjoy them and cherrish them as much as we can while they're with us.  And there are so many desperate animals out there just looking for a good home and eager to devote themselves to you given half a chance.

Sorry for your loss, Stuart. Yesterday was a tragic day around here too. My 17 1/2 yr old cat was violently attacked by my neighbors cat, on my property! (2nd incident) He is really tore up. Lacerations on eyes, ears, claws ripped out, and the worst......his tongue is slashed from left to right to the middle of his tongue!!!!!!! Hes on pain meds, antibiotics, liquid food. My son is just so upset!! Its his first pet and he grew up with him! Poor "Chilly" did not deserve this, especially being attacked on our porch!!!!!!!!!!

Holly crap they are violent buggers.  I remember seeing on tv years ago that house cats are sweet and cuddle but face the same sex and violence on the outside as people do.

Yes, Toms are very quick to assert their dominance and they have the claws to do it with. I don't know how poor Chilly managed to get his tongue slashed poor thing.
But with all the love and care he's getting I know he'll pull through.

Nothing goes to waste in my house.   So if chilly don't pull through it, I'll be having a bowl of chilly, chilly fries or chilly cheese dogs.   Mmmmmmm.   I know, I'm bad.

This is Charger (minature pincher on left) who is 7 and Cali (boxer) on the right who is 6.


I found 5 tumours last week in Cali's mouth when I was trying to brush her teeth because her breathe was so stinky lately. I made an appointment with the vet next week to have them removed. From what I have googled I just hope they are not cancerous because if they are and they extend into the bone it doesn't look good for Cali.

Hoping for the best.

our little baby got a fresh start on life. i called a place called the treehouse that cares for injured or abandoned wild animals. they called back and said they would love to have the squirrel. so we headed up to dow illinois on saturday with buddy the squirrel. when we got there they me us at the door and i said i could get the squirrel out of the cage and they said to wait till we get in a secure room. so we get to the room and as i open the cage she (yes, it turned out buddy was a she) ran up my arm and sat on my shoulder. the gals all start laughing. then i get her bottle out and she runs down my arm and lays in my hand and grabs her bottle and eats. so they say, oh well she seems tame, lets take a tour. so we go all through the building seeing all the other animals and birds there. buddy rides my shoulder the whole time. or she would run down my arm and up my wifes arm to her shoulder. anyway, there are fox, coyote, bobcat, eagles, owls, hawks, turkey vultures, squirrels, chipmunks, all kinds of animals there. they put her in with 2 other little girl squirrels and she started playing right off. she will be weaned off the bottle over the next two weeks. then move to a cage where she will be watched for her diet for 2 weeks, the to an outside cage where she will learn to look for food and build a nest. after she passes that, she will be returned to the wild. it is a great place and she will go back to living the life she was meant to have. it was hard to leave her behind, but great to see she will be a real squirrel. :2thumbs:

I had a pet squirrel when I was a kid, they get pretty tame for that first year but after the winter they seem to forget and revert to being wild.  Mine did anyway.

may have lost the charger but gained a new "future" partner....his name is Bear...now 6 month old sheppard...his dad is a k9 officer and his mom works for a private security company...he should be a good one!  Bears named after a good friend of mine, Bobby Summers dog.  Bobby (worked for a local sheriffs department) passed away a few years ago...his Bear also passed away two years ago....thought it was a fitting name....

Indeed what Skip said. :2thumbs: I've always had an affinity for German shepards. Decades ago when I was about 1 or so our family Shepard pulled me out of a creek near our home. His name was Duke and was an ex-police dog.

What does the Mighty Khan this about little Bear?

They generally use the quickest/easiest access points to the inside.

Ok, question for you animal savvy folks...

One of my cats, Dot (older male),  went in for vet visit, had some teeth pulled, and was given meds.

Anyway, so he comes home yesterday, and the other cat, Indy (younger female cat), starts hissing and growling at him on sight and has jumped him several times. We have had to separate them and keep them in different rooms so Indy doesn't kill Dot while he's still high on meds/recovering. Plus, shes got a good 3-4 pounds on him as far as size goes.

My common sense conclusion is that this is b/c he went to a strange place and came back smelling different, possibly like other animals - but are there any other possibilities? They've always gotten along until now.

Has anyone had this problem before? How long does it last? Any way of "helping" them get through it?

Indy (L), Dot, (R)

Same exact thing happened with 2 cats we used to have, 1 male & 1 female. If I recall, it went on for a couple of days & then stopped. Neither got hurt, it seems to be mostly noise & puffing themselves out for threats. Kind of funny to me.   :lol:

If you want to take their minds off fighting each other, let someone you know with a hyper toddler stop by.   :smilielol:

Probably jealousy.  I would suggest feeding your female first for a couple days.  Also, set her on your lap (if she likes being held).  Show her some affection, then him.  Pretty soon, she'll get over it.

Actually the wife's pretty good at it. We have two Burmese. The best way is to hold the cat by the scruff of the neck (tightly) with one hand and wash with the other or else it might take the two of you to do it. Held in that position you'll find that the cat will put up very little struggle and pretty much cop it.
Under the circumstances I'd say it's worth a shot.

Get her to do it as soon as possible. I guarantee it will make all the difference.  And all will be be back to normal.   :2thumbs:  

Fill some warm water in a basin (laundry sink is always good) hold the cat by the scruff of the neck and lower it into the water keeping it in a semi sitting possition (belly up) As long as you keep his head well out of the water he shouldn't feel paniced and after the initial shock of being partially submersed will remain pretty still while you get on with washing him.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU KEEP A FIRM GRASP OF HIS SCRUFF ESPECIALLY WHEN LOWERING HIM INTO THE WATER AS THAT'S WHEN HE'S MOST LIKELY TO PANIC AND WILL TRY SCRATCHING HIS WAY OUT OF THE SITUATION.

Post by: mrsskip68 on February 18, 2013, 01:30:07 AM
Put a thick dish towel on the bottom of sink in warm water before you wash the cat. Helps them feel more stable. Tall kitchen gloves are a bonus as welll!!!!  :2thumbs:

Rotties average 9-10 years. Ours are properly looked after, regular vet visits, walked daily and live inside the house with us but even then the very best we've ever managed is 9 1/2. 
We've never had a dog go grey.....none of them have never really looked old. But this boy more or less just slowed down over night.

Thanks guys.  She is a great dog.  I "trained" her to play football by putting treats on the stairs and then throwing her toy across the room.  Now I throw the toy and try to stop her from reaching the stairs.  Its a blast even though she goes around me like I am standing still.  Right when I get home she is waiting with the football ready to play the game.

I never would have guessed. There's no grey on her snout. staffies usually go grey pretty early. Obviously no stress in her life.
You'll get a few good years out of her yet unlike our poor Rottweiler. He's only 8 1/2 and has gone quite senile. Pretty sad really but he's hanging in there and we're doing everything we can to help him get through each day. Some days are better than others, you wouldn't know anything was wrong with him but they're rare.

When I got my Lexi it was a toss up between her and a super sweet Corgi. She was just the sweetest little lover! All she wanted was to be petted and sit in my wifes lap.We decided against the little lover because the amount of steps around the house is insane.

Funny isn't it, my dogs love to go for their walk in the rain and don't care about getting wet, love to jump in puddles, love to get dirty. But after their walk, all they want to do is come inside and if we have to let them out to do their business when it's raining, they're as quick as they can be and do it as close as is acceptable to the house (that is just beyond the paved area and flower beds) and then rush straight back inside again. And it's worse in the summer time, if any sort of large fly tries sitting on them (while we're all outside enjoying the day), they're up and heading straight to the door and then we get that "please let me in, it's dangerous out here" look.  Obviously one has learned from the other.  We love our dogs and they know it.

I was hoping that Cappy would get to meet his kids for a Fathers Day gift, but sadly, all his kids have passed. But today he got to meet two of his Grandchildren. First picture is Cappy, 11 years old on the far right. Pickles, the boy is on the far left, he's a spitting image of Cappy. Marbles, the girl is in the middle, she has one ear that never came up. Both grand-kids are 6 years old. I took almost 70 pictures today, and 8 videos....Cappy is wore out and snoring on the couch as I write this. Each picture has dogs names in order under the pictures

That is way too gorgeous. Our greyhound has passed on now but she was the most beautifully good natured dog. Welcomed every stranger that ever set foot on the property. She just loved people, once she realised (after her first six months with us) that they weren't all mean and nasty.

Thanks Fred!  We've had her for 4 years already, but it took about 2 for her to settle in (bad previous life :icon_smile_dissapprove:) we certainly will be greyhound owners for life!   They are the fastest yet laziest dog we know!   :smilielol:   Sorry you lost yours, but hope you can rescue another one!  :cheers:

We call them couch potatoes over here. lol. They really do love to lay about but when they get moving WOW!  I remember when we first got her home, we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw her blitzing around the yard. she was so fast we barely had time to blink. The rottie tried so hard to keep up but she left him for dead in about ten strides ha ha! 

I remember when we first got her, (she was 8 years old so nobody really wanted her) she wouldn't look us in the eye and she'd never had a toy in her life, didn't know what a ball was. But we had her sorted out in no time.  She was really precious. We're looking into getting another one very soon.  :2thumbs:

Thankyou Tom. I do love animals. I have all the patience in the world for them.  It was me that fetched Mindy (our greyhound home). The thought that no one wanted to give this lovely gentle but very timid dog a home saddened me no end. I had it in my power to rectify the problem so I did. No animal need live in fear in our home.

Absolutely agree with the couch potato, we joke that she sleeps 23 out of 24 hours and naps for that last hour!!  :rofl:
We also had the same experience as you when we brought her home.  We met my cousin who has two Goldens at a tennis court and it was brilliant!  Her dogs would play fetch for as long as your arm could throw, so we threw ball and Goldens ran while Willow chased the boys!  She'd fly by them, look back, slow down, and then do it again!  We've been able to capture some great videos of her in our back yard too.   Puts the same smile on our face as working on the charger, saving 2 great lives!!!  :cheers:

This is our bearded dragon, Draco. I usually call him Tough Guy or Lizzie. We got him last January from a family who advertised him for sale on craigslist. Problem is he came with a real bad case of pinworms that we just managed to get him through. He looks like a badass but he's very docile and well-mannered.

They're just for looks. They feel like they're made out of soft rubber. The skin on his back and legs is pretty rough though. I'd say it's around 60 grit.

A sad time for you Lisa, sorry to hear it.

Had to put our faithful Rottweiler to sleep 3 weeks ago. It was a sad day.  He used to have the fastest wagging tail of any dog we ever owned. It was so fast you had to see it to believe it. Erika and I always used to joke........ he better slow down or he will wear it out. Well, 3 months before he died the joke came true. He stopped wagging it and never wagged it again. He really did wear it out.

Thankyou.
Especially when the decision has to be ours...........do we put him to sleep, should we leave it a little longer. But you don't want your pet to suffer so you do what you know is the right thing and yet after it's done, you wonder if you could have maybe  held off for a little while.
Just once we wish a pet of ours would just die peacefully in it's sleep and save us from having to make that dreaded decision.

I'm sad to report another passing today.  Our gentle giant Cairo (Cai).  
He'd not been doing well for several days and after numerous tests and still not finding what was wrong we had to make a decision.
He was 21 pounds and just a big kitten of 12 years.
The doctor strongly suspected a brain tumor.  He was the most gentle cat who would do just about anything.  If you wanted him to sit on your lap, he would. Beside you, pick him up, sit in your arms, whatever - he was fine with it.
My wife is very upset as it was her cat since before we were married and had him as a kitten.
I will miss him waddling around the house. Of the 3, all we have left is Oliver.  God speed Cairo. :'(

That's got to be a myth. We have our regular 2 and often 3 and sometimes 4 every day. we can also get up to around 12 to 15 at a time if there's food to be had..........and no rain.

Yes, we have Gallahs here too. And the Gang Gangs are gorgeous but both are a little more timid. They come in for a drink and then they're off again as where the kookies live close by and treat our property as there own.

Wonderful, hope you enjoyed your stay and found us Aussies friendly and hospitable. Did you catch a glimpse of our lovely Echidnas? We love them and have a few in our garden. You can always tell when they've paid us a visit..........they leave no stone unturned (so to speak lol) while looking for ants.

Bit of sadness in our little neck of town here, our neighbors across the street had their Husky killed today by a car, she got out somehow, probably scared of the thunder & lightning we had this morning. Driver of the car never stopped.

Her name was Tika, she was about 13 years old, and Cappy, (our Corgi) played well together.

These are the callous people that probably wouldn't stop for a human either. Although for some people I guess an animal is way down the bottom of the food chain and not worth the bother.

but where is the fun in that....she's allowed to chew those.... :icon_smile_big:

Haha, fun fact....I bought that bitter apple spray stuff from the vets, ya know....all dogs hate it they say.....Worked for a few days, but she chewed up the bottle....sooo.... :brickwall:

and yeah, it was in the cupboard of one of those end tables, that she munched up, and got the doors open...

I agree with the pepper idea, BUT, if you do that, put it in a spray bottle and dilute it with water! Then spray the enticing areas. Any kind of Lab/shepards, dont mature till 5years of age. So be patient, be the Alpha Male, and praise the pup when it listens! Just my two cents.

Yep, 5yrs! Now, that can be changed with proper training and tons of attention! Usually if a dog chews stuff up its frustration or seperation anxiety. Be patient, it wont change over night. Be thankful, that you have a healthy pup!

Good looking knucklehead you have! Is he being trained to be an officer or is he your personal companion?
I've trained him since I got him to take over for my current partner, khan.  I needed something to do since i had to sell my charger.  Khan just turned 9 and has back problems and is ready to retire.  Bear is my 3rd working dog.  I trained khan and bear myself.  I love my job!  It's amazing what you can train a dog to do!

Funny to see all the dogs with separation anxiety....did everybody try easing into the separation? (if you know what I mean)

Ram07 The bored & lonely dog, probably has separation anxiety & needs some more exercise &/or keep him occupied on something else... reward him/her for being good & discipline them for bad behavior.. they will eventually learn &/or you can wear them out, keep his/her mind more active so they don't chew the he'll out of your stuff....  :Twocents:

We've never had a dog chew up anything in the house. And they've all enjoyed the luxury of living inside. If we go away for a couple of hours, they can stay inside otherwise they're put outside where they have comfortable beds on the back porch plus the freedom of roaming around the property as they please. The best of both worlds.
And although they like to hop up on the bed when no one's looking, they are discouraged from doing so. They can lay anywhere they please in the house except on the furniture. That's for the two alpha dogs (me and the mrs.) only.

Get a sign that says NSA on it, or a shirt. Hope he is getting well soon.

Well, it's been a rough couple of weeks as we had to let our oldest go last Sunday. Maya was a few weeks under 15 which is quite the feat for a larger dog like a Labrador. She became diabetic about 2.5yrs ago and lost her sight to cataracts during that time. Amazing how they persevere though. She was the start of our family as Kris and I picked her up a few weeks after we got our house and settled in. The kids don't know anything else. We adopted her mother Iris 2 years later and she left us about 3 yrs ago. We laid her to rest next to her mother and planted more Irises.

A wonderful companion and a member of the family she is and will always be missed.    :'(

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, of a great dog from what she sounded like.. As a big Lab lover myself, I know 1st hand how loyal, friendly playful & sometimes stubborn they can be... I have a 15+y/o Chocolate Lab "Lord Budnicks of U--", he's doing very well for his age still, my last Black Lab "Duke of U--" made it to just after his 14th B-day, my Yellow lab "King" before that, made it to just before his 14th B-day... 12 years is supposedly the average age I guess we were & are lucky, to have them so long... They are truly great animals, they loved all my kid, their friends & all the neighborhood children too, everyone played with them & my kids loved them & "I'm sure they were heart broken, when they were gone, especially the girls... I also think my old "Buddy" is keeping my elderly old Pops, who lives with me now for the last 6-7 years & my elderly Aunt & Uncle who live up the hill, who can't wait for him to come over to visit every other weekend... I believe he keeps them all much younger & active, he walks with him out to the mailbox or around the neighborhood, swimming at the lake etc.... It's funny he goes over & pushes him with his nose when he sees the Mail truck... I sware, sometimes I think he has a wrist watch sometimes, there are times he want things, like his walks or treats at specific times, like clock work, same time every day or night, he starts staring at you, wagging his tail & going back & forth to certain things, that is part of his regular daily life/routine, it's so damn cute... He has followed me everywhere we go 24-7, since he was 6 weeks old, he hasn't spent but a couple nights with out me... All my family know if I'm coming over, "Buddy's in tow" or I don't go... I feel for you, I don't know what it will be like not to have "Buddy" around & I dread the day he is actually gone & won't be there, when I get up in the morning or in the back seat of my truck everywhere I go, or begging for his goodies every-time he goes outside or goes potty... I think he helps keep me mellow, I know he's help Pops, they are such an intricate part of your life , if your a dog person, they are truly a member of my family.... You have my deepest heartfelt condolences, on the loss of Maya, may she RIP

Budnicks,

They are truly remarkable aren't they.  :yesnod: It's a 2 way street and I know that the love they get is only part of what they provide and I am certain that Buddy is an important element of your older generations happiness.

I recognize all of the traits you talk about. Many I didn't get to see on a daily basis but they were there. My wife said she sat in the dining room doorway every evening watching for the headlights to turn into the driveway when I got home. She would go over to the leashes hanging on the wall and nudge them to let us know it was time for walks and she was an amazing alarm clock on weekends. She would wait for you to yawn and then start licking you which == french kiss.  :eek2: :lol: I grew up with beagles who were also good companions but Maya was my first lab and we are with #3 right now. Waldina (Dina for short) named after my great aunt of all folks who loved her German Shepherds. The hardest part of having them is when they deteriorate. Maya was starting to have more bad days than good and as much as we wanted to keep her company we knew she was hurting and felt that it was time. Truly the most difficult decision to make and one that is never easy.

Thanks for your thoughts, Sharing with others who feel the same helps ease the sorrow.

You know when it's time but it is still the hardest thing to do. Just had my Lab/mix R/Ts acl. fixed last Thursday. Big old brace, feel so sorry for him, but will be worth it.

that's really a cute little fur ball Bronco, we don't have any cats of our own, but have all the neighbors cats around allot, Tinker my next door neighbors tiger stripped cat/kitten {maybe a year old now}, comes over to visit Buddy{my lab} all the time, it's cute how they interact, he lays in between Buddy's legs & paws at him & Buddy mouths him & gets slobber all over him all the time, gives him a spikey hair doo... the up hill neighbors cat Felix, an older black & white comes over & come right in the house, if you leave the door open long enough, goes & sits on my ol' Pops when he's sleeping... I'm "that guy" in the neighborhood, that takes care of everyone's animals, dogs cats horses & birds, when someone goes on vacation or out of town...sorry no photos

My lil kitten, Bronco, almost died today! He was playing around the house as usual. Got a phone call about 11:00am. Walked out on my porch to enjoy the warm sun while on the phone. 17 mins later i come back in and look for the kitten. All of a sudden i hear two weird meow/crys. I freak out and go looking for him. He managed to wrap a speaker wire around his throat, and twist it around the leg of the tv table!!!!!! I could not get it off. I had to pick him up and move his body around and around and around the table leg to loosen the wire up! Scared the pee-widdly outta me! His 9 week bday is today too!

That's funny, when I first read about you getting the kitten and naming it Bronco, I thought, what a funny name for a female. Don't know why I thought it was a female. Must have had other things on my mind.  :D  Sometimes thinking hurts.

And getting him neutered is a good thing. It will stop him tomming around and keep him safe.

are you talking about Skippy or the kitty?

Take your pick.  :rofl:

when they neuter animals, the owners are given a certificate and a tag to prove they got cut...we expect to see Skippy sporting his new collar tag soon and his "award papers" as well

My lil kitten, Bronco, almost died today! He was playing around the house as usual. Got a phone call about 11:00am. Walked out on my porch to enjoy the warm sun while on the phone. 17 mins later i come back in and look for the kitten. All of a sudden i hear two weird meow/crys. I freak out and go looking for him. He managed to wrap a speaker wire around his throat, and twist it around the leg of the tv table!!!!!! I could not get it off. I had to pick him up and move his body around and around and around the table leg to loosen the wire up! Scared the pee-widdly outta me! His 9 week bday is today too!
poor little fur ball Bronco, I hope he's doing well...

My Border Collie "Bonnie" passed away the other day.

Me too, been through it a few times as well and it is amazing how they work their way into our lives.
We got a long hair Chihuahua a couple of years ago and I was very opposed to it when my wife suggested it and now that we've split up the dog has to travel back and forth with the kids because I missed the little bugger once she was gone.

Sad news doc.
Only just went through it myself this year. Never had a dog that got dementia before. It came on so quickly and even though he didn't lose his sight he was just bumping into everything and going round in circles and stressing out big time. So we had to have him put to sleep.
Too bloody sad for sure.

Some of these pet stories are hearbreaking.  :rotz:
About 4 years ago or so we had to find a new home for our dog Kali, a shepherd/husky mix. She was about 10 or so at the time, our second son was just born, and she was NOT getting along well with the kids. We tried everything, nothing worked. After witnessing growling, showing teeth, and a snap of her jaws we knew we could not keep or trust her around the children. We did find a very good loving home for her with a friend. Here she is, I still miss her & think of her around this time of year.
Title: Re: The PET thread.
Post by: bill440rt on December 14, 2013, 06:21:55 PM
So as my kids grew older, they kept asking for pets.
I used to have some BIG freshwater aquariums years ago when I lived at home, but had to sell them when I moved out. I used to keep all kinds of fish, mostly big cichlids.
I surprised my son a few years ago with a small 10-gallon tank, and he kept up with it and showed a genuine interest.
So, just last month I surprised my kids and brought this home. I good friend who was renovating his house had to find a home for this tank, a 65-gallon setup complete with stand. I kept two big plecos and gave the rest of the community fish away to another friend, as I was going to put some cichlids in it anyway.
I refinished the stand, some new gravel, decorations, etc.
It's now a home to some S.American cichlids: a firemouth, convict, an Oscar, and 2 green terrors. Also are 2 big plecos, and 2 catfish.
My kids are thrilled. And I found out it's hard taking pictures of fish!  :lol:
Title: Re: The PET thread.
Post by: bill440rt on December 14, 2013, 06:24:01 PM

You know, our dog (the one just passed away this July due to dementia) used to have the fastest wagging tail we've ever seen in a dog, it was so quick and we always joked about how if he didn't slow it down he'll wear it out. Well about three months before he passed away he stopped wagging it and never wagged it again............
Seems he really did wear it out.

Love the pet thread!!  :popcrn:

So you all may recall that we had to let go of our dear Maya this past fall. Well, our youngest lab Dina has been down in the dumps, as have we, for the past 3 months. We put out the feelers for a litter (as much for Dina as for us) and were graced with a lead on a pup from a litter that would be ready at Xmas. Well, I drove 7hrs round trip to Maine yesterday with the Ms to pick her up. She is from the same breeder that Dina was from and even the same parents. A welcome coincidence. Kids had no idea. It was a nice surprise and as all puppies they make an immediate impact.  We are so happy to have our new Thora, Norse for "thunder goddess". Named for good reason. WOW, she has some lungs.

Happy Holidays all! :2thumbs:

Thanks for wishes! We got a decent nights sleep last night but it felt like the best in years.  :lol:
They have been best of pals from the start. We took Thora out for a few hrs and when we got back she looked for Dina and when she saw Dina her tail started wagging so fast it got her back side into the mix.

Her name is Remmy, and she is full of piss and vinegar some days...but sometimes she is call (especially lately, she is about 2 1/2) She loves rides, swimming, treats, walks, runs.....anything basically that will keep her moving. She will play fetch ALL DAY...

The yellow lab is about 1.5 years, and he is 100% total opposite of Remmy. His name is Ruger. He loves to ride, swim, eat, basically everything Remmy likes, but he just doesn't have the energy as his sister.

He likes to relax, sleep on my chair or couch, just a very mellow dog...will sleep on top of you if you let him (even tho he is pushing 80 pounds)

I love these dogs like crazy, always had labs and couldn't imagine 1 day without them.

If I open the door to the Charger when my dogs are around they will jump in and refuse to get out until at least take them around the block.  They will actually get in the back seat and growl in protest if I try to force them to get out without a ride.  Once I take them for a ride even if it is only around the block, then they will get out with no protest and tails wagging.

I need to vent a little, might as well do it here since this is the pet thread  :icon_smile_big:

We lost our little buddy recently, suffering from heart failure and liver problems for the last 2 years caused by dental gum infection.

He was on meds that made his life acceptable.
But a while back his condition suddenly deteriorated, he was fighting for his life and in a lot of pain.
We had to make the decision to put him to sleep, a hard decesion to make mainly because in his mind he did not want to go.

This one will be hard to forget, while not the brightest of all dogs we had, he had a nice personality and we had a special bond with him.

A weird coincidence, we found out later that he died on his 8th birthday  :angel:

It is with a sad and worried heart that I tell ya'll that my lil rescue kitty, "Bronco", disappeared a week ago today!  :'( Somehow he got out, and never returned. My hope is someone found him and took him in.  But in all reality,  I fear the coyotes got him. I've had him since he was 5 weeks old, and he's almost a year old now. I really miss my snuggle bug. I dont have the heart to put away his food, thinking maybe he will come back. But as tine goes by, my doubts increase. I have ads out and went to animal control but no luck. Thanks for letting me share.

Post by: ws23rt on September 28, 2014, 08:57:08 PM
I know just how it feels.   My connection with cats goes back to my childhood. My parents raised Siamese.

Young cats like yours need to explore and when the opportunity comes up they do so.   They also have a very good sense of direction and will return to home but it sometimes takes a while.
My preference is to let these cats outside and provide a way for them to come and go as they please.  To keep them trapped in the house seems cruel to me as well as stressful to us.
My current friend is a rescue from my sister and her troubles (a one year old). He was at my place one week and fell out a window.  He was gone for 10 days but showed up as if nothing had happened. He had his walkabout.

The risk if losing a friend like this comes from adopting them.  IMO keeping them trapped in the house is not good. It may prolong their life but at a price. They look out the window and want to be a part of all they see just like us.

The convicts do a pretty good job protecting them. Other fish in the tank include an Oscar, firemouth, a green terror, and some smaller catfish. They are to watch out for, but with these baby fish the convicts get very aggressive protecting them.
This is the second batch they've had so far, a few of the first batch survived too. It's kind of like a constant supply of live food.

Im curious if anyone here has had a similar experiance to what we are having with our beloved Boston Terrier "Mox". He started about 4 months ago dring water like he just cant get enuf. This of course means hes be having accidents due to needing to pee all the time. We took him to the vet school in Madison Wi. and the diagnosed him with Cushings . We have been giving him his med for about 2 weeks now and havent had any change . Do any of you have any insight on this? Im getting really frustrated with the whole deal.

Thanks BRian

Brian, we have had 2 cats that have a Thyroid disorder. One kind mild but none the less, one of the symptoms is they drink a lot of water.  Not saying that is it, but something to look at.
Both times they were corrected by medication, or at least the levels brought to normal.
What ever the case, you know your pet better than anyone.  If you are not getting satisfaction from your vet, try another. 2 opinions are better than one.

Post by: mrsskip68 on December 18, 2014, 04:26:48 PM
Couple things to check. Pinch (not hard)the back of your dogs skin. Usually above the shoulder blades is good. Release, . Does the skin go back to normal quickly about one second? Also, lift your dogs lip up and press on the gums for a couple seconds.  Does the color (pink) come back quickly ? These are easy tests for dehydration. Kidneys can cause many urinating problems !! There is tests that can be run to check kidney function.

*until you know more, potty pads help to save  your floors.
Keep us posted on his condition. Good luck.

Post by: remta1 on December 23, 2014, 06:38:51 PM
sounds like maybe possible renal /kidney issue .Best to do bloods and tests .Our dog showed up with same symptoms and in tests showed tannin in the kidneys which was causing issues.Look at the environment that your dog is in also may be eating something that the kidneys are trying/working overtime to flush out.
Turned out he has been eating acorns of the oak tree for years .(tree now chopped down) and this has caused some kidney function loss .

We put him on a science food formula diet specifically designed for renal issues and this has helped our dog improve lots ... very little accidents now but best to get sorted sooner than later.

Hopefully everything works out fine for you  :cheers:

The vet school did blood tests and they indicate that his kidneys are fine. But, they also say it's cushings and they started him on some mess and they don't seem to be doing any good so far.
Title: Re: The PET thread.
Post by: moparnation74 on December 23, 2014, 08:39:17 PM
Brian,

Sorry, to hear about your little guy!  I have a Terrier as well, so I can relate a bit here.

Polyuria and polydipsia can relate to many medical conditions from diabetes to cushings.  Vets are not my friend and their prognosis is usually poor.  Therefore diagnosis can be inaccurate.  Keep in mind I am not saying this is your case but I am biased because of my profession.  I have battled with my vet once and awhile regarding my late two sick cats(diabetes and hyperthyroid).

Diagnosis of cushings is difficult and requires several tests to figure which type of cushings its related to: Adrenal or Pituitary.  Treatment requires strong medications and frequent monitoring of your pet and multiple routine follow ups.  Especially, after the first treatment.

Maybe the Vet school with their prognosis and with adequate tests reached the correct Diagnosis.  With the false positives that can occur.  I would definitely get a second opinion as another stated earlier.

I relate to your situation completely and feel your frustration.  I hope this information will help you and your family pet out!  Keep us posted please.

Justin

Hey Brian,

Our first 2 labs both had Diabetes and they both showed the same constant drinking and urination issue. With the first it took us MANY months to finally figure out what was up. During that time the urine became nasty smelling and a dark yellow. She also lost a lot of weight. With the second, she was the daughter of the first so as soon as she started exhibiting the symptoms we had her tested and started the daily insulin treatments. It came on fast too. She was getting her blood sugar tested each year at her checkup and she was only 4 months after her last normal test result when it started.

I know how tough it is being an owner, but lets not forget that the vets are working from from a tough vantage point too. After all, it's difficult to figure out what's up when you can't have a dialog with the patient. Everything you have to work with starts from a 2nd hand point of view from the owner.

Good luck and keep us informed, We are thinking of you and Max.

I was told by our vet (and again this is our cats, not a dog) that blood tests are many time inconclusive when it comes to kidneys. That is what they recommended a sonogram scan of the kidneys.  And expert can tell more there, and they did. They will show signs of previous damage or infections from the past.
Just sayin' you may want to ask.

It is a difficult thing to say good bye to a pet and member of the family.  Been there several times.
Sometimes harder than when you loose a human family member because you know they really don't understand.

Sorry to hear about your dog Bodie, tough time.

Here's a couple of Rosie the mini schnauzer as a pup in December 09 and one from New Years day 2015.
I'd been away from home working in the Middle East for 4 1/2 months and when I got back in a taxi from the airport she was barking like a stranger at me outside on the porch naturally enough.
My daughter raced outside, she was super surprised and excited as we hadn't told her I was coming back for Christmas. When I opened the door Rosie was still going nuts until she worked out it was me then was yipping and high pitched howling wolf noise that schnauzer's make, up standing straight on her hind legs and nearly turning somersaults with excitement. That was pretty cool.

I've gone back over to work again and my wife said Rosie has been checking out the rooms to see if I'm stilling hiding around the house somewhere and has been spending a lot of time snuggling with the girls. Neat animals aren't they  :yesnod:

When I first started my resto and started my Charger for the the last time my first schnauzer jumped in and wanted a ride, well he died of cancer and never got a ride. The one I got now stays out in the garage when I'm out there and tonight jumped in the Charger when I was installing the dash. Hopefully I get it done before this one dies. :lol:

I hope so too! Neat dogs, we used to have a Staffordshire terrier but had to put him down when he got really old and sick, cool dog he was too.
Funny enough, Rosie only just tolerates rides in the Charger and cant wait to get out when we get somewhere. Its a 2 hour drive down to our holiday home and she is super keen to leg it out when we arrive.

  Unfortunately, he got a cyst at the base of his tail last Oct.  We got the cyst removed, but it never healed. Then, last Sat., his left leg swelled up, and he could barely walk.  He did make it to the computer though, and read the forum with me for a while, and let me look him over.  We took him to the vet yesterday, and made the better of three decisions.  If we had the operation done, he would have lost his motor functions, and would have been in misery.  If we done nothing, he might have made it to Fri, but would have been in so much pain as well. But, during the video I made yesterday, he let us know we made the right decision.

Our cat Watson, also a black & white, died today and my wife and I are heartbroken to say the least.  He had a congenital GI issue that we were able to control by feeding him, and his buddy Charlie, home made food.  It was the only food he would tolerate and at least we knew what both cats were eating was good for them.  Remember the Chinese pet food fiasco several years ago?

He became sick yesterday after breakfast so we just watched him.  In the early afternoon he had projectile vomiting which is like a near-death experience for a cat.  We took him to the animal hospital but despite their best effort his health kept declining.  By this evening he could not respirate properly even when placed inside an oxygen chamber.  His pupils became unresponsive and remained that way indicating brain trauma.  He lived to be 10 years old, not very old for a cat, but that's a long time for a cast that started life as a malnourished kitten that could not hold its food.  I would like to think that we did everything to give him the best life possible' and a great life he had.

We will miss him greatly.  Goodbye Watson, thank you for being the perfect little boy.

Thanks folks, we all know how hard it is but it sure doesn't make it all that easier.   We're both medical professionals and while it allows us to make sense of what happened, it still made us feel numb and a bit dead inside.  We are paying extra attention to Charlie and he seems to be getting back to his routine now.  He's a pretty nervous cat so we need to watch him for a while until we can decide if we can get him a buddy.  Time will tell.

So Sorry to hear this. I went through this years ago with a pair of litter mates. Ten or so years in  with them one got an overwhelming cancer and had to be put down. I recall his brother sitting in one place in the driveway (after his friend was gone). He would sit there all day long looking for his buddy. One day he came back inside but was staggering. A trip to the vet showed he had leukemia. His gums and tongue were very pale. They said he was done and nothing could be done.
I recall sitting there with the doc. and looking at my old friend. He was sitting up and looked at me. The doc asked if I would wanted to be their when he put my old friend down?
I said no. My last memory was of my buddy was him sitting up and looking in my eyes.

These (pets) are much more than pets.  We give them food and comfort and they give all they have in return.  :2thumbs:

I am so sorry to hear Dirk.  I know exactly the feeling you describe as I have been there several times myself. And when I hear or read stories like this, it brings back those memories.
I think it is more difficult with pets than humans. A human you can talk to in most cases and you know they can at least realize what is going on. Pets are family members too and all you can do is look in their eyes as they fade away, it hurts.  :'(
Our 15 yr old Oliver sat there for a while looking for his pal Cairo when his pals left him. He most certainly was not himself.  We eventually got him 2 kittens to keep him occupied. And despite some medical issues he's has had, he is doing quite well and enjoys their company too.
God speed to your pal Dirk.

Post by: Dino on May 23, 2015, 02:53:13 PM
Thanks Bob.  You're right, it is really hard with a pet when you can't make them understand how you feel.  We're slowly getting better, all of us.  Charlie is no longer looking for Watson and is doing good.  We are spending a lot of time with him, even more than before, so we'll see where this goes.  If he becomes lonely then we want to get him a buddy, but we need to be careful as Charlie is easily intimidated and we don't want to scare him.

Johnny that's a gorgeous pup you got there.  :yesnod:

My wife and I lost our youngest child today.  He was 14.  He had been with us since the age of 6 weeks.  He is the last of three to "grow up and move out."

I'm a better man for having had him by my side.  The pain however is excruciating.

Don't try to handle it.  It takes time and there is no shortcut to pain relief.  Just be sad.  Cry, cry, and cry some more.  Stick close to your wife.  There is nothing you can do right now but mourn the loss.  I wish I had a better solution but this is it.

If you look back to the first post in this thread, I show our male Mallard when he was just a youngster. Well, last fall he started losing a lot of his energy. Then last Tuesday, he passed away...he was just one month shy of 11 years old. :(

Having a pet duck is quite an experience, and Walter "the gravy butt" was really a character. I'm not yet sure if I'll get another duck, but I am sure glad I was able to experience having this guy in my life while he was with us. Now he's on to that big ducky pond in the sky! :angel:

My family lost Dobi (white/tan Shih Tzu in 1st picture) to a massive heart attack on Dec. 1 of last year.  We had him for 11 years, since he was a puppy.  That was a hard loss. :'(  Our other dog, Nemo (Maltese), was completely lost for about a month without Dobi.  We adopted Annie (Shih Tsu) last Friday from a local human society...

Thanks.  Dobi was one of a kind.  He was starting to have a growth on one shoulder that the vet was not concerned about (but I was).  The vet said it was just fatty tissue that these dogs can get in old age.  I kinda felt that he might pass away within the year, as he was starting to slow down on his walks and just did not have the same energy level.  So, I started taking lots of pictures (and some short films) of both him & Nemo.  At least I have those to remember him by.

Annie was given up by a local breeder and had not lived in a house situation before, so she will require some patience and training.  We have found out that she can only eat soft dog food due to her poor teeth, although the shelter said that they fed her dry dog food.  She seems to be happy here so far.

As I have posted in the past, loosing pets is very difficult. Especially when some people don't seem to understand.  But that is why we come here because there many here who do.
Well, I had to put Oliver down yesterday and I am still upset by it. About a year or so ago he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and was loosing weight. We seemed to get that under control but he also had arthritis, the pain of which he apparently masked quite well ... for a while.
A couple months back he started fighting with Binx and Ranger, our other two. And it escalated to the point where we had to keep then separated.
He would just go "off" and according to the vets, most likely due to the several medical issues. We were due to bring him in for his check up anyway but Saturday night he scratched up my wife kind of badly. She knows it wasn't "him" because he was always a great, very loving cat.
Well we took him to the vet yesterday and you sort of know the rest. He was not well, in pain and we did what we thought was best for him but I will always question that decision because those who have been there in that room when it happens know what it's like. He was still active and a great companion and I will always miss him. He was 16.  Rest in Peace Oliver, no more pain.

Post by: Dino on August 09, 2016, 05:46:44 AM
I am so sorry Bob. I know exactly what it is like to be in that room, but don't think you did the wrong thing. You did what you had to do and that is end his suffering. Cats are very good a masking pain but it doesn't mean it's not there. Once they start fighting among each other then you know the illness is severe. The other cats can detect the changes as well so it goes both ways. You did the right thing so put the doubts out of your mind and just mourn for your buddy. Thanks for giving him a great life.
Title: Re: The PET thread.
Post by: MoParJW on August 09, 2016, 06:58:31 AM
Ugh... that sucks.

I had been asking myself for months if I did the right thing after I put my dog to sleep, was it too early? too late maybe?, maybe I could have tried this or that...
Now almost 2 years later I have somewhat of a clearer view on it, and know it was ok, besides, when is it really the exact right time?

You did the right thing, we tend to hold on to our pets as long as possible, so ending his suffering is a very hard choice, but it is a selfless choice!
Don't waste energy on people who do not understand, you'd probably have to go through it to know what it's like.

Here's to Oliver :cheers: and the 16 years he got to live in a good home!

Good luck getting through these hard times, remember, it gets a little bit better every day...

I love their independence....and the way when you walk through a door the dogs go mad like they have not seen you for a year......whereas the cat MIGHT lift his head from his bed as if to to say " OH....you are back then!".

Igor looks like a tough guy but he surprised me by being a lap cat & will curl up on you, take a nap & then get mad when you try to get up.  :lol:

Right now he comes in the basement at night to eat & we have to put him in a large kennel cage while he's inside. We have two indoor cats & don't know Igor's medical history as far as what shots he may or may not have had. Once that's squared away we will take a shot at introducing him to the other cats & see what happens. Last time something like this happened I put in a pet door to the basement that led to an indoor shelter.

Yeah, we call them tabby as well.

Here she is the day after we caught her about 6 or 7 years ago. She was rummaging around under the dumpster behind my office so I set a hav-a-hart trap. She was so tiny she stepped on the trigger & the trap didn't go off. I had to sneak up & poke the trap with a stick to set it off.  :smilielol:

She is an American Bulldog. Her mother (bitch) comes all the way from Georgia USA.
She will be nothing more than a loving pet.

Yes she has beautiful markings.
She is an American Bulldog. Her dam comes from Georgia USA. But she won't be used as a hunting dog. She will just be a much loved family pet.

We had to lay to rest our Maltese Bailey. It was a very sad day for us. Then in his honor we went and adopted this 7 yr old Maltese Terrier mix. She fit in so quickly it was like it was meant to be. Even looks like Bailey.

   Meet the new member of the family.......................  Snowy.

Taking my dog for a walk. She is 7 months old now and a ratbag to be sure but so damn lovable.

The black spots on the lawn are kangaroo droppings. In the evening they come out by the truck load. You'd be hard pushed to find a spot devoid of droppings to spread out a picnic rug.

Haven't made any in 3 years now.  Wow, it's been that long???? :o  We dug the stuff out but finding time to boil was the problem. Don't want to leave that running without someone being home. Time flies with teenagers.  My daughter graduates high school this Friday. Yikes.

Added a pic of my girls who came with me to Hose Pressure testing earlier this year.

Looks like this thread hasn't been touched for almost as long as my cars.  :smilielol:

Here's an update on my cat friend Igor who showed up at our house 6 years ago. He is still here, loves to hang out with me, follows me everywhere, & is now an indoor cat 100% of the time. When he arrived he was hungry & needed medical attention that we learned about after taking him to the vet.

He had a mouth infection, a bad ear infection & a pellet or a BB lodged in his jaw. During the next couple of years he wasn't feeling well & was then diagnosed with kidney issues. He's been on meds since then & now has to eat special food. He's completely deaf now but it doesn't seem to bother him at all.

His kidneys got worse at one point & he was in the veterinary hospital for a couple of days in January. He's now on thyroid meds along with his other meds. I've had several cats over the last 35+ years but this little guy is the best & very affectionate which is strange for a cat.   :shruggy:
