Trying to Get Pregnant

~ Question of the Day! ~

Hello ladies!

After yesterday's QOTD, I officially have new ideas for new drinks! Hooray! But seriously, all those drinks looked delish and refreshing! :)
Also today is my CD1 so I will indulge in those drinks :D

Well, today  will just be a simple question, to the near point of getting to know y'all better!

Do you have any pets? If so, tell me about them! If not, do you plan on getting pets someday or no plans for that in the future?

I have 3 cats right now and an aquarium. At my mothers place, she still has the family dog who is getting quite old (13 1/2 years old). My cats are Tigrou (Tigger) and abysinian, Etoile a black Norwegian forest cat and Noodle a cute farm calico! We have some angel fish and tetras, a couple of bottom feeders. And a snail. All the fish have names... but it would be a bit much to list them all lol.

I want a dog... lol

  • I have a dog.  I had 2 when DD was born- unfortunately one passed away in the fall.  Life is so much easier with just one.  I feel bad he doesn't have a "friend" anymore, but not that bad.  :-)  Especially since we want another child.

  • Oscar (baby Oscar) is a 2 year old fluffy orange tabby.  He plays fetch and "barks" at squrriels.  He is so cute!

     Maggie (Smaggie) is a 6 year old schnauzer.  She plays with string like a cat.

     As you can read we have really mixed up animals.  You would think the cat would act like a cat, and the dog would act like a dog.Stick out tongue

  • We have an orange cat named Spazz.  I found him at the place I take my time sheets to, he was only about 6 months old, already fixed, we've had him almost 2 years now, he's so much fun!

    When DH gets back to work, we plan to get a puppy, either a weiner dog, jack russell terrior, or a beagle, we want a small/med size family dog.

  • 3 fur babies, all rescues.

    1 is a feline named Elfie (after the movie Elf).  Found her in my front yard when she was just 10 weeks old!

    The other 2 are canine named Zoey and Heidi.  One is an Anatolian Shep mix (think German Shep, but Turkish) and the other is a Boxer mix

  • I have a beagle mix dog baby, Zoey.  She is 5 years old and a total lovable lap dog.  DH jokes we should have named her "Shadow" because she is constantly following me around!   We ask her all the time if she wants a little brother or sister. Smile

  • Lily Potter is my 4 year old English Bulldog. She is my child. She is not the best behaved dog, but I would not change one thing about her. 

    We also have an orange tabby cat named Obie. We think he is about 2, we rescued him from death row last summer 36 hours before he was supposed to be put down. He is obsessed with MH. He cries if he is not in contact with a human (preferably MH), or Lily.

    We had outdoor fish, but our newest "pets", about 25 snakes have put an end to that. Our backyard is tiny, in the middle of a city, and I have never seen that many snakes before. Took a while, but now I am used to them. 

    No more for now, our 3br house could not handle it. Someday we hope to have a small farm, and I hope to have a horse, and some other farm animals.

    We have 2 dogs. A 9 year old Golden Retriever named Bella and a 3 year old Boxer named Tyson. They are incredibly spoiled. I will say that I thought I would have a problem with my boxer once DD was born, but he has been GREAT. He lets her climb on him and puts up with all of her "petting." My golden is the one who runs away from DD when she gets within 2 feet. :)

  • We have a 60 lb mutt named Dixie. She is 3 years old and COMPLETELY spoiled! She has her "daddy" wrapped around her finger!

  • We have a 3 year old Yellow Lab named Aggie. She is DH hunting dog, but ever since we lost our 8 year old lab in April she has become my baby too. She is very spunky. I love her to death, but what I dont love is the fact I sweep up enough hair off our wood floors everyday to build another couple of dogs.

    One of the reasons we got a boxer is because they are known as one of the best breeds of dogs with children. I researched like crazy because I knew we were getting a dog right around when we would start TTC and I wanted to make sure we had a breed that would be able to adapt well.

    Our boxer is also great with my 84 year old grandma. We leave him with her for a few hours at a time and he just lays at her feet very calmly!

  • We have 2 dogs. Sky is a 5 year old black lab & she is the most well behaved dog! My hubby did a great job training her. She was supposed to be a hunting dog, but she doesn't like the feel of the feathers in her mouth-it's really funny!

     Dodge is our 2 year old mutt. We rescued him from the pound. He is part lab & part collie (we think) He was a little tougher to train since he was already 8 months old when we got him, but I think Sky is a good influence on him :)  He has turned out to be an awesome dog, & he IS a hunter!

     I love my dogs, I just wish we had gotten our furniture AFTER we got our dogs, because we have two black dogs (who shed a lot!) and cream furniture!

  • We have two puggles. Paisley is 3 and 1/2, Clover will be 2 in August. I got Paisley before I met DH and we both fell in love with him. Paisley is our stage 5 clinger. She's cuddly and not at all keen on strangers. She's the one I can guarantee will be within arm's reach if I'm sitting on the couch. Clover was our wedding gift to each other, and she's our little firecracker. She's super independent, and is only cuddly when tired. She's an aspiring fashion designer and likes to give clothes a distressed look.

    We also have two red-eared sliders, Carlos and Henry. Henry is my nickname among DH's coworkers, and Carlos is named after the baby in the Hangover. They don't do much, but one of them bites really hard.

  • The cutie pie in my siggy is my pup Wiley. He's 2 now, so not as squishy looking, but still awesome. He's a rescue and the biggest baby on the planet.

    My mother in law was totally against us getting a dog because she claimed she hated them, but she is so in love with the dog. She won't allow us to visit without him. And she even got off my back about giving her grandchildren for the past 2 years! (She's gonna be shocked when we actually get pregnant).

    I love seeing all the dog pics. Love em!

I always had dogs growing up and when we lived in an apartment didn't want a dog in an apartment, so when we closed on our house the next week we went to a rescue and rescued Roxi! She will be 3 this summer. She is the best dog, she listens so well, and is such a big part of our family. We love her to pieces, and spoil her rotten!

  • Our furbaby is an English Cocker Spaniel named Louis (pronounced Loo-ee).  If I told you how much I love this dog you would think I'm nuts...Embarrassed
  • I have three cats- Brigid, Jenny and Foyer.  Foyer came to us through chance. We think the previous owners of our house had him and just kind of set him free when they moved, because there were kitty doors in the hall closets and a bag of cat food left over...

    When the weather started to get cold that first year, we heard a tapping on the sliding glass door, opened it, and in walked this adorable tom cat.  He proceeded to plop down in the foyer (hence his name)  and groom himself before looking at us like, "Where is my food bowl?"  Took him to the vet the next day and gave him a fancy pet bed with the others soon after :)

  • We adopted 2 strays from my moms barn cats who had kittens. One is orange and white (my daughter named him gumball) and the other is gray, black and white and named pebbles. We were SO fortunate with these two. We thought litter box training would be H*LL but we've had them 3 weeks now and we have not had a single accident in the house... We showed them the box once and ever since that's where they go.

    My husband would love to have a great dane one day (so would I) but I have to do lots of research first to see how they are with little humans before I will get one.

  • I do not have any pets right now.  I think we might be getting a Boston Terrier pup that was born a few weeks ago when they get to be about 8 weeks. SD wants a pup so bad and we told her we would get one within a year and our neighbors down the street just so happen to have Boston Terriers.

    Does anyone have a Boston Terrier? Good dogs?  Advice about them?

    I have always had pets growing up.. cats, dogs, birds, horses.

  • We have an adorable 8 month old puppy named Templeton. The rescue we got him from named each puppy in his litter with names from Charlotte's Web. He is a spaniel mix and a cuddly little guy. He also has a knack for escaping from any crate we find! image
  • We have two pups, both turning 12 this year. Tasha was a pound puppy and Mumu was rescued from an abusive home. We also have 2 angelfish, 5 black skirt tetras, 5 red miner tetras, 3 clown loaches, 10 zebra danios, and 1 rubber lipped pleco. Some of  them have names (Toasty, Mick, Tommy, Lil Red, Flip, Flop, and Goose) but who knows which one is which anymore!
