What kind of pets?



Recommended Posts

Cute thread...great pics. We have a beta fish named Dennis, named after the fish on the kid's show Stanley. I'm the only one who looks after poor Dennis. He's cute and sweet and quiet and manageable. Just my style since nothing else in my life is quiet. I'd love to get a cute fluffy small puppy dog, maybe a poodle? one day but right now...not really on the list.

I like other people's cats. No cats for me. Karen, your hairlip dog is so cute...Elvis would have suited well for a name, too!

An absolutely spoiled rotten Siamese named Niele allows me to live in the house with her. Niele's name is Hawaiian and means inquisitive. She is definitely that. When I got her she weighed 3/4 of a pound. I've owned Siamese all my life and they are incredible creatures. I had my last one for 20 years.

Two older Himilayan Kitties, one girl and one boy. Missy and BJ

A two year old Chihuahua - Sadie Rose

I love all animals, except maybe for snakes and rats, they're really low on my list of animals that I could even cope with. I even like lizards, they're kinda neat, but I don't have one, only live in a one bedroom condo. Any more pets and I'd have to find another place to live:-]

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Cindy

BEAGLES! I grew up with a beagle who lived to be 16. I adopted a beagle (Buddy) when he was 1 year old who had been severly abused by previous owners (they wanted him to be "agressive" - so NOT beagle behavior), then another (Zoe) and then another (Maggie)!

I gave the middle one (Zoe) to my mother-in-law just after getting her so that MIL wouldn't be alone, and I just lost my precious Buddy in August to Valley Fever (common in Arizona) that attacked his brain after 10 fantastic years with him. Maggie is Fat, Dumb and Happy.

I can't bear the thought of losing another pet (I also had 2 cats along the way) so as of now she is the only pet. I also foster beagles and find them a loving forever home.

I can't figure out how to attach pics of Buddy and Maggie but they are both tri color, classic looking (georgous!) dogs.

ps - I am down 35 pounds now since being banded 9/19/05 and down 7% body fat (2 fills)! Happy thanksgiving everyone!

My little furball is Angel, an 18 month miniature (she's about 10 pounds) smooth haired dachshund. Contrary to what I've read and what people have told me (about doxies being so stubborn and hard to train), she is very well behaved and is wonderful therapy. I got her when she was 2 months old...just before both my sons were heading off to college and I was going to be alone for the first time in my life.

I've attached a picture of Angel (the black and tan one in front) and her sometimes stay over buddy (my sister's red doxie/chihuaha mix) Dot.com or Dottie.

I have a big white kitty named "Kitty Kitty"--my son (age 2 at the time) named him and we are so unoriginal, it stuck.

He is an Olympic level napper and doesn't like the sun in his eyes. Poor spoiled thing!homehalloween010.jpg

Hi, everyone! This is my first post so it must be that I LOVE my 1-1/2 year old beagle, Toby! He is AWESOME and is such an individual and fun to be around. I look forward to my time with him every day. We got him when he was 6 weeks and he is sooooo spoiled. Right now my 13 year old daughter is giving him peaches - YUM!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
