It's not easy to type with a 12 pound Dachshund on your torso....(Post a pic of your pet!)

This is her....but imagine her head on my shoulder and her balanced on my wrist.

Duckie

[ThomCat]

3. Wow. 2 of my cats weigh more that your dog.

:hi:

One of mine loves to climb me. He drapes himself across my shoulder and sticks his tail in my face. :P

[YellowRubberDuckie]

4. My dog is a freaking cuddle bug....

And loves having her head on my shoulder. I think it's my breathing or something.

[Arugula Latte]

24. Beautiful fur!

I love the half white/half-other-color combos on kitties. Sooooo pretty. :loveya:

[Catshrink]

6. Here's my dachshund

Bratwurst is a full size and a bit chubbier than this photo shows. I really need to update my photos of him!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

15. Please get me an updated/bigger pic.

He looks precious!!
Duckie

[WTF cubed]

7. Cute! I'd post a pic of my Labrador, but she eats the camera

every time I try to take a pick.

I do love her though.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

17. She sounds rotten as can be....

And playful. And very smart. :evilgrin:

[cwydro]

8. what a cutie!

here is what is on my lap...with claws deployed!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

19. Thanks.

She has really neat markings.
Duckie

[matcom]

9. Here "It" Is

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. Oh, what a cutie pie.

I'm sure Prudence would LOVE him. She has a thing for boy dogs. She's fixed though, so don't let your dog get any ideas. :evilgrin:
Duckie

[evlbstrd]

29. I have one of those.

Now, if I could figure out the best way to eat hair and harness her energy when she's in heat...

[CraftyGal]

10. These are my Babies

Sonic the hedgehog

Patches, the Tuxedo

Smokey the Russian Blue

Snowball

[YellowRubberDuckie]

14. A hedgehog?!

Wow. you have the most unique pet! Beautiful.
And those cats look rotten.
Duckie

[DarkTirade]

37. An ex of mine had a hedgehog... she had a habit of naming her pets

after charaters from Buffy the Vampire slayer. Unfortunately, she'd already named one of her weiner dogs Spike, so the hedgehog was named Xander instead. :)

Oddly enough, Spike (short for 'Sir William Spike the Bloody) was the biggest wimp out of all of her dogs. He was scared of his own shadow. And that's saying a lot, since weiner dogs don't cast much of a shadow...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

50. That is too funny...

We had two rats named Buffy and Willow. Next dog I get will have to be named Spike, though. :evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

74. My ex's Willow was a tiny little red long-haired dauchshund

Unfortunately her parents broke up, and her stepmom got custody of half the dogs, so I didn't get to see her past about the half-way grown point. :(

[Omphaloskepsis]

11. This is about half of them.. I live in a fucking zoo.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. Without the white stripe, the next to the last picture is my Hank!

He was there for most of my childhood. He was killed when I was 15 by a neighbor who shot him. Oh what a beautiful dog. And I'm sure he/she is just the most sweet thing you've ever met, huh?
And, are those Chicken Butts I see? :evilgrin:
Duckie

[Omphaloskepsis]

20. He is huge and stupid.. But he is very sweet. His name is Leo..

We have nine chickens and two ducks. The two ducks are the black spots in the first pic.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

22. Stupid?

Oh that makes me sad. HAnk was the lot dog at the trucking company where my dad worked. When we bought the farm, the first thing he did was coax him into the truck with him. That dog loved my dad. It killed my dad that he had to shoot him after he got a sucking chest wound thanks to a bastard neighbor.
Duckie

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. Here's Wolfgang...

You have a real sweety there!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

23. So do you....

I love your dog!!

[rustydog]

25. This is my pet....on crack

[opiate69]

26. My little furballs: Sharivon and Fizzgig

[YellowRubberDuckie]

27. Oh my god...

The one of the foreground is so unique and adorable!!
The other one looks like she's being mischievous.
Duckie

[opiate69]

31. Hehe, thanks! Isn't he a cutie?

He's a Shih Tzu - pomeranian mix.. and the pom in the background might actually be his father.. they're both just awesome little dogs (and I always hated little dogs, until I got these two anyway)..

[DarkTirade]

36. I had a friend who named one of her fuzzies Fizzgig...

but it wasn't a dog, it was a chinchilla. :)

[MotorCityMan]

30. My two babies

Candace, aka Lurola's Forever in Mind. She's a cocker spaniel.

She is just the sweetest dog that ever lived.



This is Lana, a Himalayan. She is as arrogant as she looks. She's the boss around here, and she knows it. She also knows how gorgeous she is.

First cat I ever owned, and I just love her to bits.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

51. Beautiful animals!

[Wcross]

32. Chairman Meow.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

53. Those eyes are amazing.

34. This is the kitteh banging on the window screen to get let back in

note: window ledge is 5 feet off the ground

[YellowRubberDuckie]

52. Talented cat!

[DarkTirade]

35. I only have one good pic of my gecko

Her name is Frank. I named her before I found out she was a girl. :)



(A little big, I know. Unfortunately I don't have a thumbnail sized pic for that one.)

I also had two cuban tree frogs, Sam and Frodo.



Sam is the big one, Frodo is the little one. They changed color to match the background, so what you see there isn't how they always looked. :)

Unfortunately I have no pictures of my newest pet... I rescued her from drowning a week or two ago. And by 'drowning' I mean running out of oxygen... because she wasn't in the water. I was just walking into Wal-Mart (I know, evil, but I work the night shift. It's the only place open at 4 in the morning.) and it was very dark. There were no lights in that part of the parking lot. But I noticed a small, dark shape in front of me on the ground.

I looked a little closer and thought, "Is that a gigantic bug? No... too many limbs."

I looked again and noticed that it had claws, "Is that a gigantic... scorpion? No way... biggest scorpion I've ever seen in this state was less than a centimeter long." So I nudged her with my shoe, and she reared up, looking to see what nudged her.

It was a crawfish. Crawling along, in the middle of the parking lot. At least half a mile away from any water source bigger than the four or five feet in diameter retention pond nearby. I don't know how she got there, but I did my shopping really quick, and picked up a cheap tupperware container when I was in there. She'd only managed to crawl about 10 feet by the time I got back out. So I snatched her and put her in some water when I got home. And now I have a crawfish named Roadkill in my room. :)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

54. Aren't you sweet?

We used to sell bait, and we always had those. They were relentlessly mean little bastards...but then again we were selling them to be killed.
Have fun with Roadkill!
Duckie

[DarkTirade]

73. This one seems a bit too clumsy to be properly mean

I gave her a few feeder fish to try and catch... so far she's only managed to catch 2 out of the 8 I gave her. :) And they've been in there for a while.

[S n o w b a l l]

38. k...

:hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

55. Your dog was bigger than might when he was a puppy.

What a beautiful dog!!
Duckie

[jgraz]

39. Gnocchi and Chiaro

[YellowRubberDuckie]

57. THat poodle looks like one we had when we were kids...

Only she was larger. What a cutie pie..
That bird looks completely like he's complete in control of everyone!
Duckie

[jgraz]

70. Puppy's sick tonight -- send some good vibes

She developed a terrible eye infection today, and she's feeling miserable. :( Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon.

And yes, Gnocchi has us all wrapped around his little...um...feather. And he knows it.

[UTUSN]

40. Here's a less-than-one-pound version of yours (2 yrs ago). Not much bigger now.

But he's lost that callow-puppy look and looks like yours.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

58. What a freaking cutie!

I am trying to talk my husband into getting another dachshund, but this time a puppy. I think it would be good for Prudence.
Duckie

:hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

59. I just don't know about that last one there...

What made you adopt that one? :evilgrin:
Duckie

[DeepBlueC]

68. What kind of cat is Iago?

Is that a reddish ruff on a black cat? Very intriguing ... and handsome.

[zanne]

77. What kind of dog is Dave? nt

[graywarrior]

42. I LOVE this thread! ! ! !

Here's Kamere a month ago. 14 lbs and still growing.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

And she has really pretty markings too.
Duckie

[KG]

44. my little buddy, Rocky, can often be found in my lap as I'm posting

or at my feet in his little bed. jeez i love this little guy.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

60. He's so sweet....

What kind of a dog is he? He looks like a min pin?
Duckie

[KG]

65. yes, he's the worlds greatest mini pinscher, though you would never tell from his humble demeanor

:)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

66. Everytime I watch the Eukanuba dog show, they always say that the min pin really isn't a min pin....

But I can't remember what it actually is called...
Duckie

[SoxFan]

45. Brianna!

My kitty diva:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

61. What a beautiful, rotten cat!

[txwhitedove]

46. Here's Wicca...

This is her only glamour shot after grooming.
Sleeping on the floor at my feet now.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

62. Sweet...

But she looks cranky. LOL

[txwhitedove]

67. Hence the name, Wicca. Little dog with big attitude,

playful but very ornery. My buddy.
:hi:

[NV Whino]

47. I didn't really mean to start a separate thread...

so here's a link to my photos.

[SPKrazy]

:rofl:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

64. What is that a bobcat?

What a sweet collie. I didn't know you had one.
We had a cat who mated with a bobcat....her kittens were solid white and GIGANTIC. It was insane.
Duckie

[SPKrazy]

80. It is a bobcat

a wild one outside my dad's place in Colorado

the dog...

a sheltie


nice, sweet, and watch her or she'll poop on the floor

[jane_pippin]

69. Aw! Here are two new Stewart pics

Here's his head



And here's his head with a gold star on it from today's dog school class



The more I see your dog the more I'm convinced Stewart has some dachsund in him. He looks *just* like her right now as he's sleeping on the couch.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

79. His face looks like a large dachshund face.

He's adorable, and looks like he REALLY wants the rain to stop so he can hang his head out the window.
Duckie

[jgraz]

71. OK, just one more

Gnocchi hanging out on his playgym this morning

[qnr]

72. We don't have pets anymore, but here's a stray that has taken a liking

to our porch, and sleeps there most nights:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

78. We always had orange tabbies come to our house and integrate themselves....

I love them. They are my favorite.
Duckie

[Tripper11]

75. Here's our crew....

The originals - Pumpkin and Gizmo


Drawer full o' ferrets - somewhere in that maze is Lola, Babe, Cocoa and Missy(short for Mischievous!)


Sandy - enjoying a warm summer day!


And last, but certainly not least...(cue the Blue Oyster Cult)GODZILLA!!!!! (A blue tongued
skink)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

81. Beautiful cats!

The dog is a cutie....
I wasn't expecting ferrets. Nice choice.
My husband loves your lizard.
Duckie

[Tripper11]

85. Thanks you!!

We enjoy them all!

Godzilla loves when I bring crickets home. He sees the bag, watches me transfer them to the cricket keeper and gets really active and starts pushing his snout up against the glass in anticipation!

[Inchworm]

76. Such a cutey!

My "pup" is very similar. Trina finally understands not to get too involved with my typing though. :D



:hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

82. Oh no....

Mine doesn't get involved...she just lays so heavily across my chest that it's hard to balance her and type at the same time.
What kind of a dog is that? She doesn't look entirely dachshund.
Duckie

[Inchworm]

83. Dachshund/beagle

I think also part groundhog, alarm clock, and human too :)

That's her favorite stance when she wants something. She'll come up to me and sit like a groundhog until she gets it :D

:hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

84. Pru does that for her granny.

I haven't really seen her do it until yesterday when she wanted some chicken strip treats.
Duckie
