DUer Pet Survey: What Kind of Pet Do You Have?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. Other: A girlfriend

[zbird]

2. Combination: 2 dogs, 2 gerbils, 1 bunny, 3 snakes, a couple frogs...

and a tankful of fish. Oh yea... 2 kids and 1 husband (I guess that really makes 3 kids) too.

[nini]

3. the dog on the sailboat pic is priceless!

what a cool dog!

[donco6]

4. Two American Rat Terriers

And they are the greatest!

[HawkerHurricane]

5. I have...

Two dogs (half purebred cocker spaniel with papers, half sneaky mutt), and fish. The fish cause me fewer troubles, and are at least smarter than one of the dogs.

[mvd]

6. I have a mutt named Reba

I'm a big dog person and not much of a cat or other pet person. Dogs just fit my needs the most.

[djeseru]

7. Cats & caterpillars.

Two cats and various caterpillars, the count varies from week to week...plus one husband and one daughter.

[Wheelie_Alex]

8. I have...

A huge 19 pound American Grey Tabby tomcat that just showed up one day at my door as a kitten. Now he owns the house. I also have a 6 month old Catahoula Leopard Dog who has 4 left feet and will trip over anything. Chew toys, hoses chalk lines on the sidewalk. Grace and agility are very forgien to this dog.

9. One large and goofy cat

His name is Oops because when he was a kitten he fell off the (rather high) deck. Twice. Might explain the goofiness.

[Bat Boy]

10. I am the pet....

Shhh...master's coming...must pretend to be stupid....

[Madrone]

11. A menagerie.

3 of these: (all black, 2 long hair, one short)

Used to have 5 ratties and 2 hamsters - they outlived their lifespans but are no longer with us.

21. How are the sugar gliders as pets? Do they do anything? What kind of

sounds do they make?

[Madrone]

28. They are very sweet.

The downside is - they are stinky little buggers! I've heard people say ferrets are worse - but as an owner of both, I say Gliders win, hands down. Like anything else, of course, they aren't as bad when diligently cared for.

They like to play, they glide, they like play time outside of their cage - unfortunately, they don't wake up until I go to bed, so mine aren't as "bonded" as they would be if I spent a lot of time interacting with them. They are certainly not unfriendly, just still not entirely sure of what to make of me, I guess. And, unfortunately, they don't get so much time outside of the cage to play. That's why I got them the BIGGEST cage I could find. It must be disassembled to get it out of my bedroom.

They make a few different noises. They bark. They make a noise called "crabbing" - it's loud, and sounds like an electric pencil sharpener. *L* It kind of startles people to hear that loud noise coming from such a small critter. Basically, when they make that noise they are cussing you out to the nth degree! The make a chirping noise when they're happy - and they make a clicking noise - also a happy/content noise.

They really are sweet, fun little pets. They require a bit more care than other animals. I have to cook for them every night!

12. Deleted - double post.

[flamingyouth]

13. Cats and a bird

:hi:

[devilgrrl]

14. Ho due gatti.

Oh, sorry, I'm practicing my Italian.

I have two cats.

[eightyferrettoes]

15. Four beautiful, moderately well-behaved ferrets...

with ADD, of course.

Two girls and two boys, all different colors... the oldest is 6, and the youngest is 1.

Now if they would just stop hiding all my trash bags, things would be perfect.

24. I love bearded dragons.

They're so cute!

[scarlet_owl]

27. They're great!

I love my Tinkerbell!

[ajacobson]

17. Dogs and Cats (not sleeping together, though)

The kitties live upstairs and the dogs are downstairs. Only a couple of the dogs have permission to cross the heavily defended border. Some of the dogs entertain the thought that the kitties are really elaborate action toys.

My name is Ida, I get to visit with kitties.

[RebelOne]

18. I have a big scary looking Rottweiler, who is really

a big wimp. Also have a parakeet who is not a wimp. Will bite your finger off if you try to catch him.

[Padraig18]

19. Combo: 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 ferret and a mouse.

We have a menagerie!

:)

[Placebo]

20. I Have a Pussy...

...cat.

She's purdy. :P

Black with white paws and belly. :loveya:

[eyesroll]

22. Two birds!

[blondeatlast]

30. What kind? I have a 'tiel and am thinking of getting a Quaker parrot. nt

[eyesroll]

34. The little one's a pacific parrotlet; the big(ger) one's a Meyer's parrot

They're small.

We had a 'tiel, but she died young of kidney disease. She and the parrotlet didn't get along at all. (The parrotlet and the Meyer's get along a little better; they're still rivals, though.)

[Ladyhawk]

23. Birds and snakes

This guy:



And this guy:



among others. :)

[burrowowl]

32. Well

size wise I guess thebird/snake won't eat each other. Don't get a roadrunner or the snake is a meal. Cute pic with snake, one of those imitation corals.

[guitar man]

25. doggies!

Been a dog lover ever since I was a kid. These are the two current hellhounds that keep my living space a mess.



Birdie keeps out intruders.



China kills them with cuteness.

[LWolf]

26. Cat, dogs, hens, horses.

I'm cleaning my saddle tonight.

[blondeatlast]

29. A cockatiel for Kerry!

This one isn't mine, but Scruffy is very similar.

[Kat45]

31. Birds!

I have my adorable little parrotlet, Grace (pictured in my sig). And my ex has two of the birds we got together: a senegal parrot and a budgie. (I visit them.) :-)

[ariesgem]

33. 2 Cats

Named Bootsy and Flea.
