Well, my partner and I got two new little pets today. She had been thinking about getting hermit crabs again because she'd had them before and hasn't had them since because of the dorm living. Now that we're on our own, and we reviewed our lease to see about allowing them, we have two new members of our pet family. Both my partner and I split the cost of the tank and supplies and they're set up on our coffee table for now.
They are, I believe, Purple Pincer Hermit crabs and I've completely fallen in love with the little buggers. One is really active and barrels though the tank and he's just adorable. We've dubbed that one Tank. The other one is not as rambuncious as Tank so that one's Vesta. They were character names from Animal Crossing. lol Not sure which is male or female, but that really doesn't matter.
Have you added any new pets to your family? What were they? I'd like to know names too! I love hearing the different names that people give their pets!

In fact, I don't like pets, although I like these cute little animals. I hope that they can live or move freely in the nature but not keeped at home .

Unfortunately we had about 5 new kittens earlier this year, but yesterday mon took 4 of them away, and she took their mother who's pregnant for the second time to an animal shelter because, like last time, she "can't afford it". So no, we only have about TWO cats now. One the oldest that we had since 2003, and the other is one of the remaining of the 5 kittens left.
I was upset about it, but there was nothing I could do about it. It's her home, but at least sometime next year i'll get my own place. I don't know much about animal shelters, but if I do get a cat, at least I CAN afford it.

The benefits of dog is that you psychologically greatly satisfied.
For example, you go home every day, your dog will be very warmly welcome you as if you have been looking forward to a lifetime, but the key point is that such passion does not change over time, but only growing more and more warm, make you feel that she really needs you, you are in this world that she most wanted to see people. The kind of satisfaction, they never mind, you seem to be aware at this time, the original himself such a way is needed.
There is also, your cooking will never be greatly appreciated, no matter what you are made Cook virtue, she would not say no taste, but rushing to take over from your hands, hungrily eating, but also be able to In particular the last Italian dishes Dier not tried to lick clean. By the way, there is a good point, even the plates are to help you clean up, and refrigerator to help you save a place, and even have lightened the burden of spam. How much for your sake! You can also justifiably say that Kan Ma, my level of cooking that is good! I have done no less than the food never left!
My family's dog named baby, because it is too cute.

Yup, a dog my mom picked from the street. White and brown.
What were they like?

Dogs are cute, especially when they are little pups, so was he. But he grew 'bity'(read: unpredictably 'bity') by the days and months, so much so that he now has to be tied. The vet said he would become alright if we neutered him, but that didn't work either. He's still very cute and lovable...
I'd like to know names too!
----------
I named him - Tipu Sultan. My mom brought him on the day of my history exam, so. It has shrunk to 'sultan' now, and keeps getting manipulated into various incomprehensible versions:)

I have two dogs and a cat. The dogs stay outside all of the time because they are very big and very hyper. The cat stays inside and just lies around all day. She's very self-entertained and caring. The dogs are more fun to play with, but they are also much more of a pain.

Hi there k1tten, I have so many pets in my home. Let me start off small to big. I own 3 goldfish and I have had them almost 2 years. My kids named them and to be honest I cannot remember their names. Next comes the kitten we have a few names for him because my brother brought him to my home. He is blind in one eye but is a little sweatheart. Next would be Gucci he is a part siamese cat I think and I have posted pics up of him a lot here on mylot. The next cat I own is Mocos which means boogers in spanish. He is a nice cat as well. And least but certainly not the least of my family pets is Pepper, my mix small dog. Long time ago I posted a pic of her. Now that I think about it I might just have to share a few pics today while on mylot. Thanks for sharing this discussion and happy mylotting to you as well.
