How many pets do you have?

Our dog is white...til it rains...then he digs a hole and rolls in the mud...LOL

Our dog is an outside dog. When he was born (we had momma dog at the time) he looked like Scooby on the cartoons. Now he looks like Ralph the sheep dog in the cartoons LOL We are unable to have a cat due to my husband and son with severe cat allergies that require hospitalization.

My daughter has 2 ferrets, 2 cats, a rabbit, and a dog as well as an aquarium. Too many for me. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Buster sure is a handsome pup.

Yeah, cats can be so very destructive. I have 2 cats and a dog, I wish I could afford another dog.

I suspect a fish tank is on the kids list next LOL As for the boa, well, *sigh* she should get to be about 8 to 14 feet depending on how her particular lineage is. I am very very particular on snakes and they have to be real loves when it comes to interaction with humans. I have been around boas quite a bit and some can be a bit temperamental. So far this one isn't. I am hoping she will remain very docile. My son is in charge of her and I just over see it. After awhile though snakes are rather like watching the paint dry. They just don't do a lot except at feeding time LOL Needless to say, I have required a locking cage for the hamsters and gerbils protection.

Yeah, like Countrymom says, big snakes are actually pretty boring. They basically just lie there in a pile. They only need to eat every couple of months or so - right? There was a 200 pound classroom pet boa in the science lab when I was in school. It ate a thawed, frozen chicken once every few months and I hardly ever saw it move. Once we put an old ornery gerbil in it's cage (I know, awful) to see if it would eat it. The gerbil ran all over the snake and even sat on its head for awhile. The snake had its eyes open, but it never moved. We finally took the poor gerbil out.

Wow... lucky for that poor little gerbil! I guess that probably the movies have made me a little weary of snakes in general. I know that they are most likely given a bad rap and made to seem scarier than they actual are in real life. But, I don't know... they just kind of freak me out! They are so slithery and unpredictable. You just never know what they are going to do... just lie there (like you said) or strike their prey in a nano-second!

I love a lazy fat cat lying outside on the porch but sadly we cannot have any due to husband and son with allergies. I worked in a vet clinic for a time and really enjoy all animals.

You are so right smartbrain69. With the rising prices of so many things lately, it is hard enough to afford the basic necessities of life let alone paying extra to raise pets too. It can really be hard on the pocketbook.

You do have a lot of pets there. You really are a animal lover. Im so sorry to hear about ur beagle dachund. What does she look like? Im very curious.

I am a dog lover! I love Beagles and Basset Hounds. I once had a Beagle Dachund mix. she was a great dog but had some serious back problems (the Dachund side of the family) and a disc ruptured and she was paralyzed sadly. My sister has 2 MaCaws and several turtles and 3 dogs. Guess we didn't get enough critters growing up LOL

Our Beagle/Dachund had a beagle body and was black and white with a dachund face. She was really really cute. Sadly when she became paralyzed we had to have her put to sleep. She was paralyzed from her neck down so it wasn't really possible to give her the care she would've needed and this was the best decision for her. We named her Peebody because while we were trying to decide on a name for her she peed all over my husband thus she became Mrs. Peebody. People used to ask how we named her then they would laugh.

Hi chivolaski - Sorry to hear about your traitorous business partner. That is a real shame. I don't know how some people can live with themselves. I think a lot of it has to do with how they are raised, but I also know that sometimes no matter how well some kids are raised, some just turn out to be unmoral adults for some reason or another. Anyway, I have heard that pigs are pretty intelligent animals. I have never really been around pigs much, except at petting zoos when growing up. Are they pretty smart animals? I'm sure some are even smarter than the average human! LoL... just kidding. Hope you have a wonderful day & a nice week too. Take care.

Wow... you definitely have a little farm going, don't you?! Looks like you'll be having some more hamsters soon too! Good luck with that! How many babies do hamsters usually have? I'm sure it is quite a few. Let us all know after the big day! Take care Didi61894.
