Name some pets you had while growing up: Susie (black lab), Purdy (cockapoo), Gus (West Highland White Terrier), Hannah (Schnauzer), Emma & Irma (hampsters)
Do you have pets now? Names, types, etc? Yes, a Cocker Spaniel named Chesney
If you could have one exotic pet regardless of danger or feed/vet bills, what would you choose? A pig isnt really exotic....well maybe a teacup pig is but I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove pigs

I get a pig calendar every year so I can look at pigs all day, LOL
What is your favorite thing about one of your pets (past or present)? My current dog Chesney is the most even tempered sweetest dog ever. She always knows when I'm upset and is extra cuddly with me

Do you need someone to take over all the checkins? If you tell me which ones there are I can run them... I used to run check ins on the IF boards.

@kflynn81: A friend from HS recently bought a "cute little pig" and it has done nothing except poop and vomit everywhere. Her posts on FB are the only thing that have brought me a smile, though twisted.

Growing up: Gretchen (schnoodle), Scooter (schnoodle), Tootsie (African Grey parrot), Popeye (Yellow Amazon parrot)

Current pets: Daisy (whippet mix) in siggy

Exotic pet: I'll take a baby panda bear, please.

Favorite thing about pet past/current: Daisy has no idea she is a dog. She has helped me so much through many dark infertility moments and now again with this loss. It is amazing how much she senses from me, even when I try to fake it--she does not buy it. Yesterday I had to practically beg her to take a treat, which is totally not like her--she is Treaty McTreaterson and will try to scam them as often as possible usually.

Name some pets you had while growing up: Fidele, a female chihuahua born 2 days after me, she was my best friend for 8 years. Kepi, a male chihuahua that was 12 lbs, he was a chunker.

Do you have pets now? Names, types, etc? I have Ripley, an 8 years old human in a pug body, extremely spoiled. I also have Romo, a 4 yrs old female Rottweiler that thinks she's a pug. RIP to my beloved Roofus, a spoiled human pug. He passed away 2 years ago to a heart tumor.

If you could have one exotic pet regardless of danger or feed/vet bills, what would you choose? I love bears cubs, especially polar bears. So, if I can have one cub and keep him as a cub that would be amazing.

What is your favorite thing about one of your pets (past or present)? Roofus watched TV and anything on a monitor. I missed his nose prints on my laptop, he would sit on my lap when I'm working and watched the screen. Ripley will snuggle any chance he gets and wants to be cover up with a blanket.

Name some pets you had while growing up: Pebbles and Bambam (cats) Grace (cat) an assortment of hermit crabs (a Christmas gift from my BIL which he thought was very funny! I quickly found them new homes!)

Do you have pets now? Names, types, etc? Trix, Sydney, and Nemo - all cats

If you could have one exotic pet regardless of danger or feed/vet bills, what would you choose? I am definitely a cat person, so maybe a white tiger?

What is your favorite thing about one of your pets (past or present)? My Trix is so smart - she can open cupboard doors and drawers and always convinces the other two cats to do things they aren't supposed to while she sits and watches. While I was pregnant, she would sit on my lap with her head on my belly and just purr. She loved Colton.

kz's_girlygirl · February 2014

Name some pets you had while growing up: Ham the guinea pig, Bear the dog, Spooky the dog

RIP to them all

Do you have pets now? Names, types, etc? We have 3 indoor cats, Foyer, Brigid and Jenny. 1 outdoor cat named Gracie, and 5 chickens-Dandy, Snowball, Glad, Oreo and Pearl(who is a rooster, lol) RIP to Edna the chick, who died a few weeks ago

If you could have one exotic pet regardless of danger or feed/vet bills, what would you choose? I think I would choose to have a gibbon- they are so smart and friendly!

What is your favorite thing about one of your pets (past or present)? My favorite thing about Dandy the chick is that she is such a brat, lol. She doesn't like the other chickens and just does her own thing. Lately, that has been plopping down in front of the heat lamp for some peace and quiet in the coop while the rest of the flock goes outside!

Oh no!!! DH looked into getting me a tea cup pig but theyre SO expensive. We live in a rural/suburban area so I doubt anyone would look twice at a pig, LOL but maybe I'm glad we never got one!!!!

Name some pets you had while growing up: Hollie, Goldie, Sam, Blueberry, Snickers, Tipper

Do you have pets now? We have two dogs: a mutt named Molly and a boxer named Lando. Oh, and DD has a fish named Chewbacca (yes 2/3 of our pets are named after Star Wars characters!)

If you could have one exotic pet regardless of danger or feed/vet bills, what would you choose? A dolphin. Guess I'd need a pool, too!

What is your favorite thing about one of your pets (past or present)? I just love when the dogs let DD dress them up. They are always such good sports.

BrittianyM · February 2014

Ticker warning

Name some pets you had while growing up: Oh gosh, we had a ton....dog, cat, rabbits, hampsters, parakeets, fish, frogs.

Do you have pets now? Names, types, etc? Two cats, Zoey will be 12 this summer and Vinny is almost 6.

If you could have one exotic pet regardless of danger or feed/vet bills, what would you choose? I can't think of anything. Even the cute ones (like monkeys) can be so dangerous. I guess I have watched Fatal Attractions too much.

What is your favorite thing about one of your pets (past or present)? My cat Zoey has been with me since I lived alone in my very first apartment. He's my baby....he's huge (not fat, just a big big cat). He doesn't snuggle much anymore since we took Vinny in, he doesn't like Vinny and Vinny takes advantage of our laps too much to give Zoey a chance. But when he looks at me and meows, I still see my little baby kitten. He's my "first born", lol.

Name some pets you had while growing up: Dimaond, Bear, MIdnight, Poutine, Chloe, Cowboy, Goldie and Tidus

Do you have pets now? Names, types, etc? I have two cats, Calvin and Opi which are a mix between tabby and a ragdoll. I also have an Alaskan Malamute named Suh

If you could have one exotic pet regardless of danger or feed/vet bills, what would you choose? An elephant

What is your favorite thing about one of your pets (past or present)? My dog Suh was my best friend while off. Despite her breed she is VERY VERY mellow. And she always sits on my feet when I sit in my recliner. She is the best
