Infertility

How many furbabies do you have?

We have 4.  Two silky terriers that are 3.5 years old, brother and sister, named Archie and Edith.  Two cats, 4.5, named Charlie (girl) and Quagmire (boy), both short-hair.  I love them so much.

Re: How many furbabies do you have?

  • Zero, DH is allergic... Sad We have to hold out for human babies, and you can see how that is going.

  • We have 2-they are both in my sig. :)

    Reese and Ellie. They are actually sisters from the same litter believe it or not and are both a German Shepard/Bl. Lab mix. We adopted them both from a shelter when we lived in St. Louis. They were about 6 mos. at the time and are now 4.

  • We have one, a four year toy poodle named Snickers. MH wants to get a kitten so Snickers will have a playmate. However since MH doesn't like to clean the litterbox (we had a cat that got out), we probably won't be getting a cat anytime soon.


    After 4 years, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs our surprise miracle is here!

  • I have one maltese named Lilly (see below!). She's probably 6 or 7. I adopted her from my supervisor a couple years ago. They had two little kids and didn't feel like they had enough time to take care of her. I really don't understand why though, she's so easy to care for and I love her so much :) Plus, she was already out of her puppy stage when I got her, so I didn't have to potty train, etc.

  •  We have 3 two short hair cats Jordan and Jeremiah as well as a Pom named Jacob. My biblical J's
  • Zip. DH and I both grew up without pets.  With the exception of the bird stint my family went through.  We had 3, yes 3 sets of birds all named Balki and Larry (after Perfect Strangers)  They kept dying for multiple reasons and I kept naming each pair replacement Balki and Larry.  First pair- Balkie was actually a female and had some territiory issues...so she basically pecked Larry to his death. :(  So, we took them back.  Then the next set had an unfortunate death...they were too close to our heater.  (Terrible, I know) and the thrid set...lasted a few weeks and we were so excited that I let one out and it flew through the house...smack into the window and we accepted that my family was not meant for pets.  Keep in mind I was about 9 years old at the time, so I do not take responsibility!  I know this is not a relevent story...but it's interesting to tell.

    I have told DH that if this road doesn't lead in a better direction soon...that I want to get a dog.  One of the few dogs I absolutely love is a Yorkie Terrior.  It will take some convincing of my DH though.  He says that he needs a dog he can take for walks and runs. 

    In the meantime...I just like to visit my friends furbabies.

  • We have 2: 1 dog & 1 cat.  I've always had pets growing up; DH has never had any before.

    Our dog's name is Romeo; he's a Pekingese.  He turns 4 on Valentine's Day, hence his name.  We got him from a toy breed rescue group.  They helped in a puppy mill raid & he was the lone Peke puppy.  Here's a photo of him:

    We also have a grey tiger cat named Chilly.  We rescued him from between our fence & our neighbor's when he was a tiny kitten on a cold December morning; that's how he got his name.  I don't have any photos of him @ work.  He's 2 years old.
