I don't have a pet since I live in a little apartment..but my parents who live 2 miles away have a chocolate colored Cocker Spaniel named Belle. She's a real friendly dog. The last time I dogsat I fed her Salmon and Nachos and she puked all over the place. This weekend my sister and brother in law are coming to town and they're bringing their dog Lola who is a 2 year old King Charles Spaniel..you better believe I'll be over there playing with the dogs and drinking my Dads beer.

There's one toy Belle has which is awesome. It's a hip hop dog with a chain and a tracksuit and when you squeeze it, it says,"Put your paws in the air like you don't care Put your paws in the air like you don't care"...lol

Those King Charles spaniels are cute as a button with their googly eyes. We thought about getting one several years ago, but couldn't justify the price. Friends of ours have 2, and one of em needed knee replacements or something like that. they're delicate little things.

Yeah they are expensive...I think $1200 or so..

One cat. He's very independent and pretty mellow and is all the pet I'll ever need. But I love dogs, as long as they're not mine. I always grew up having one and if I ever am in the company of a friendly dog, I'm the first one to get down on my knees and pet it. But you can bet your ass, that I will never own one. They just seem like too much work and are too limiting. Fill up a few food bowls and a water dispenser and we can leave the cat for a week+ no problem. I shouldn't say that we'll never have a dog as the kids may push for one someday (although they're not really all that fond of them right now), but it won't be me that suggests it. Kind of ironic as growing up I always thought dogs ruled and cats were lame.

One dog, Argentinian Mastiff (more properly known as Dogo Argentino).
He's big enough to count as 2, though.

I'm kind of of the same opinion. I didn't have dogs growing up, but always wanted one. My family always had a cat so we could take off on a whim and go skiing, to the beach for the weekend whatever. I got a yellow lab when I was 21 and had him for 9 wonderful years. He was truly a man's best friend. That said, dogs are indeed a lot of work and restricting if you want to just take off for a weekend. When Samson (after the Grateful Dead tune Samson and Delilah, Greg ) passed, I went about a year without pets, then got my two cats. Cats certainly fit my lifestyle better.

The gf wants to get a Dog now that we're buying a condo. I told her we couldn't get a dog as long as we were renting as it's too difficult to find decent rentals that allow dogs in most places I've lived. I'm hoping after this weekends music festival she changes her tune as it won't be as easy to go to such festivals as dog owners.

1 kitten we just got last week. Cookie. If you ask my 4 year old. Thistle is what the 2 year old calls her. We'll see which name sticks.

Always had cats. The last one i had to put down about 3 years ago. I cried like a little kid so i held off getting another pet. then i just got used to not having one.

Our 1st adopted dog was a 10+yr old yellow lab named Samson. Poor little guy had a bunch of health issues. I had to clean his gums and teeth every AM and give him Carafate so he could hold down food. Sadly, we had to put him down after about 7 months. I nicknamed him Handmedown Luvinsbee.

When Samson (after the Grateful Dead tune Samson and Delilah, Greg ) passed...

Ironic. Our cat's name is Sampson.

Samson & Delilah would be a great tune for one of your video's

:lol:

Four Parrots
two Hahns Macaws, one Severe Macaw (AKA Chestnut Fronted Macaw), one Bue Front Amazon.
All four talk. Three of them quite well with several dozen word vocabularies. The Blue Front Amazon has an English accent since his previous owner was a Brit. :-D

You can always put the dog in doggy daycare..

Yea, but do they know your address?

That's impressive. They know their names, my wife's and mine but not their address. They also can tell the difference between cats and dogs. They all go into an alarmed state and scream continuously if they see a cat but they don't for dogs.

One of each. Kappy the 2 year old siberian husky and Moose the 4 year old cat.

Either you were holding a steak when you took that picture, or your pets are plotting to kill you in your sleep.

Some dogs don't take a picture well. My tri-color collie really has a sweet look but I rarely have been able to capture it well on a picture

By the way, years ago, an ex GF dumped me and replaced me for a siberian husky. That was the cutest puppy I ever saw, it was never a level playing field if you asked me.

One cat, 'Normy', the cat will be 17 this August!
