But Cassie, no way!

[Freak Out]

Ha ha...Cassie looks like a major goofball. Cool critters one and all.
My wife has been bugging me to get another dog.......It's been nine years since little old Rachel went to the happy hunting grounds and I have grown used to not having to worry about leaving a pet behind when we go a’ roaming. I know....resistance is futile.

[Iron Mike]

Ha ha...Cassie looks like a major goofball.

Looks like an Australian Shepherd to me.

Here's my daughter's ferret:

She's either a mini or got Sheltie mixed in. We have no clue, but she's about 1/2 the size of an Aussie and didn't have all this fur when we got her.

I used to have a sheltie with one blue eye.

The whippet is Tiamat, and the black thing is a 5 month old standard poodle named Griffin.

Come on MTP - let's see a picture of that rat you've taught to sit!

[Patler]

Wow, this is a difficult topic for me this week!

Our dog, my constant companion for the past 11 years, who was in extremely good health a month ago, with great vision, hearing and joints for an older dog, came down with an extremely aggressive disease, is "hospitalized" and likely will not pull through.

I hate making the decision I may have to make in the next couple days. :(

[MJZiggy]

I'm so sorry to hear that! :(

We have alot pets in the Chubby household. 2 parakeets (POOh Bear and Tigger) 1 gerbel (Spidey) 2 Guniea Pigs (Cali and Pepper) 2 mice ({Patches and Midnight)

Sorry for the tough time you are going through, Patler.

Our household knows what it is like to experience the loss of a beloved pet. My oldest daughter picked out a kitten from a neighbor's cat litter when she was just 3 years old.

That cat lived 15 glorious, pampered, years. Towards the end, it began suffering terribly from diabetes. A loving vet said we could prolong the inevitable but the financial cost would be about $200 a month. In addition, the care would not alleviate the physical pain nor the blindess the cat was incurrring.

My daughter, now 18, finally realized her faithful cat needed to be put down. After the procedure was completed, she cried for hours.

My other daughter and I dug a pet-sized grave in the backyard and we had a little family funeral for the feline. My daughter later saw a relatively small cat headstone which she placed on the "burial plot." It remains there.

It was a very trying experience but one my kids came to realize as a natural cycle of life.

[packinpatland]

Thanks to MJZiggy, I can share photos of three of my best friends.
They are Gus (the fluff), Lilly, the old lady of 12 years, and Rose who is 4, and is incorrigble.

[Packers4Ever]

Patler, I know this is a very tough time to get through - our little dog, Muffin, passed on in Jan. 1997 at the age of 16, actually we had to put her
down because she was becoming blind, not walking well and so forth. My husband is a tough guy but he asked me to take her down to the Vet, he just couldn't.
After 10 years, we are still ocasionally calling our newer dog
"Muffin." It never really goes away, I guess.

Thanks for walking the walk, for those who can't.

[Rastak]

Patler, how did your pet story turn out? I hope it went well. We had to put my daughter's cat down a few weeks ago, she'd had it half her life. Cancer....nothing we could do.


I'm a total animal lover (no skinbasket and HH, not in that way). I have 3 dogs a cat and 3 birds. 2 Poms and a mix.

I was wondering the same thing.

And Rastak, I am so sorry about your cat. They become such a part of our lives.
Take care.

[Scott Campbell]

The biggest problems with dogs is that they should live longer. I was lucky enough to have one that always seemed to know what I was thinking. I could think "sit", and the dog would sit.

We lost that dog 11 years ago in March, and I still think about him all the time. Though mostly because the latest hound is such a putz.

[packinpatland]

Pets do tend to resemble their owners, Scott. :lol:

That sucks, I can appreceate that. This cat I have is my best bud. He actually sits on my computer monitor looking down. I worked with a dude from Kenya who was so strict in Islam he thought the Taliban were great guys. :roll: He couldn't fathem naming an animal. Not talking about a whole group but he was a first class moron.

[MadtownPacker]

I can feel you guys about the loss of an petl. When I was a kid we use to live close to a road where big trucks drove all day. Had a new dog just about every year so I guess I see pets as a heartache just waiting to happen.

[Bretsky]

I have a story about my ferret Sydney eating the cockatiel Petee 12 years ago.

Well, it's not a great story, it's a sad one and the wife was heartbroken after she left Petee out to run for the day and he decided to try to climb up the ferrets cage.

[GrnBay007]

When my kids were really small we had a dog, who mainly resided in the downstairs family room area. We also had a parakeet, who's cage was directly above the staircase (split foyer house). The bird's wings were clipped so she couldn't fly far. One evening the door to the cage was left open and she attempted to fly in the wrong direction....toward the steps...she landed in dog land. The dog...sweet but a bit territorial took a swipe at her and ended her life. Unfortunately my kids saw the after affect....bird laying on the steps not moving. I told them the bird fell down the steps. A good lesson they should learn about being careful on the steps!!!! :D For years they told the story how their pet bird died by falling down the steps.....lol To this day they have never questioned that....lol I love the innocence of youth!!

[packinpatland]

That's better than the old 'switching the gold fish' story!

Been there...lol We had a huge fish tank at one time too. They are beautiful but lots of work.

Not good. He died on his own accord, which made it a whole lot easier on me. He was being treated, and had his ups and downs, but the vets thought they were making headway. Then two weeks ago he was with us in the evening, looked at each of us, sighed and died. It was a shock, but actually quite peaceful.

I miss him a lot.

[packinpatland]

Doesn't matter how or when, it's always hard.
Glad it was peaceful.

It keeps us in our places. Our pets revere us, but not for real long. I honestly believe that we don't deserve to have them longer than we do.

I've had lots of pets over the years, and always get too close to them for my own good. It always hurts so much when their lives end. But this particular dog was that one really special one that you sometimes have, the one that becomes even more of a "best friend" than the others. He normally was under my desk as I worked or wasted time on Packerrats. He went almost everywhere with me. We "talked" a lot, me in English and he in his own special way of communication with looks, sounds, paw taps, nuzzles and the like that told me exactly what he wanted. He knew my routine so well that he anticipated what was up before I even started or let on. If I pulled an envelope out of the drawer, he would perk up, knowing a trip to the post office would come later, maybe even hours later. At time it was almost uncanny how aware he was.

I am honestly a bit lonely at times since he died, even though I have lots of people and family around me all the time. There is still a void where he was.

That's true, but ya gotta see them for the joy and companionship they bring as well. Now that I've gotten used to it, it's hard for me to imagine coming home without SOMEBODY being overjoyed to see me.

[packinpatland]

True 'squatters'.

Guess I'm going to have to add these to my list of pets. They won't go away, are there every morning. I've searched all over, no nest.

Wow, someone tell me how to make photos smaller!

[MJZiggy]

Go into Photobucket, choose edit on the photo and choose resize. Then you can tell it what size you want it to be.

[LL2]

So, Ziggy, is it how the worm is wiggled that’s most important?

Hit F5 on your keyboard or the refresh button above. You did it just fine, your computer is just not "seeing" the change (thanks, Mad).

Nah. I figured someone'd get around to it eventually...I think I'll let them figure it out on their own!!!

Yeah...pretty challenging to figure out...hmmm...but if you have the size and the wiggle...then you got it good.

[Iron Mike]

OK, so I buy my "love to chew stuff" collie a toy that's rated an 8 out of 10 on the indestructibility scale.

Does it intimidate her?? NO WAY!!!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v739/mike_zankle/winniepwnage.jpg

This toy lasted all of two days. I wonder if they make an 11. :?:

[MJZiggy]

Ummm...Last collie I knew that looks like yours ate a package of diapers and needed emergency "have your guts rearranged" surgery. Careful with that.

Today was a bad pet day. Evidently one of my dogs has an upset tummy and the other found the evidence and rolled around in it. Lets say other plans were dropped to give the dog a bath...
