Does anyone here have any pets? My dog passed away when I was in first grade. I don't know when my fish died. Right now I have a turtle. His name is scratch. He is a red eared slider. If I can, I will post a picture of him up here. He is the coolest little thing ever.

I have two Golden Retrievers, one named Sonny (Santino) and Maya.

Over the years, we've had a few pets. I will not count goldfish, because let's face it - they are incredibly difficult to keep track of as a kid.

We owned a rescued cat named Rascal, who actually died last year. She had lived with my grandmother after we moved, because she had wanted a new cat since her cat was put to sleep due to sickness.

We've also had a black Labrador Retriever named Buck, a black Labrador Retriever named Raven, a shelter mix named Einstein (who was adopted at 15 years of age, and we only had him for 6 months until the veterinarian told us he should be put down to untreated heartworms), along with an English Bulldog named Kitty.

We had owned two rabbits, which were given to our 4H leader when we left. Their named were Mickey, Abigail (mine), and Snowball. As well as two parakeets, which eventually died as all pets do from the pet store.

When I get older, I intend to own a dog (or two). I love the spitzen and would especially love owning an Alaska Malamute. We also have a Samoyed X Golden Retriever now named Sam.

hmm, we have an pets and favourite animal thread in one day. animals are getting popular here

I have two cats (both 4 years old) officially called Joris of the Lionking and Victor Willem of Torchham (but we call them Joris and Willem). They are both British Shorthairs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Shorthair). Our previous cat was Spetter and Tijgertje, sadly Tijgertje ran away after we moved to another house and Spetter was probably hit by a car or killed by a man who keeps pidgeons and hates cats :(.

now i can post a picture of my cats here too :D (i don't have pictures of my old cats though)

Let's see. I have 3 cats as of now (all of them are orange colored), one called Tiger Lily (female), one called Orly (male) and one called Fozzy (female.) Yeah, maybe the last two are odd names, but I didn't help come up with them. There used to be another cat here, called Chester, but he died a while ago. We've also had kittens every now and then, but they all end up being given away.

I have 2 dogs, both boxers.

My male boxer is a brindle, meaning he has black stripes across his back, and he is named Bronco. No, not after the team, after his mother. I got him when he was 7 weeks old.

My female boxer is a fawn. She has a light brown coat and is very short, even for a female dog. Her name is Khloee, I don't know how she got the name, I took her in 3 years ago because her owners mistreated her.

and a Russian Blue for a cat. :)
Russian Blues are beautiful! I've always wanted a Himalayan cat for some reason. They look like a ton of work from their long hair, but beautiful.

We don't have any pets right now. Sometime we'll probably get a fish or two. Right now we can't have pets in our apartment, and Caleb is allergic to cats and dogs. I have 3 cats at my parent's house and I miss them a lot :P Someday when we get our own house, I want to take those three, or whichever ones are left.

I used to have a dog named Pepper, but we had to put him to sleep because of a few issues with him. He was 18 years old, he kept peeing all over the house, and wasn't doing to well when it came to health.

My parents won't let us have another dog, cat, and pets like that until we are out of the house and live on our own. =\ So right now all I have is a beta fish...

I had a agapornis bird! I got it when i was 8 years old and had to give it away when i was 17 years old. So she lived 9 happy years with me!

She was a smart one. I would often set her free in the house. everytime when she needed to poo, she went back to her cage and did it always in the corner of her cage. If you was angry at ther, she would also be mad at you. She loved eating potaato chips. Also when my mom was cleaning the dishes, she would fly to the sink and take a shower and my mom became angry :xd:

The reason i had to give her away was, that she became sick.
She was a female and layed eggs once in a while (how females get her period)
But one time, her egg was broken inside her belly and could not lay it, as a result her poor belly became swollen and she was really calm and made this cute but crying for help noises/tjirping :kawaii:
So yeah it teared my heart when she was doing those noises/tjirping. So i went to the veterinarian and well luckly she was healed, but the veterinarian said that she was already a little old, and that this accident can happen more often. then i asked if he could care for her and the veterinarian said yes.

Because the veterinarian is really far away from my house, i didn 't want that she would die from broken eggs! D:

And my sister owned for a short time a white/gray bunny and a hamster, she had to give them away because she bought it witout premission from my mom and they make the house smelly/stinky. So yeah, no more rodents because they stink. Birds Rulezzzzz, maybe i will buy one in the future again. oh yeah we also had a couple of goldfishes.

I've got four cats ^^ And I love them so, they are my best friends...except if they scratch me xD

One is very old, 16 years I think, her fur is beautiful (three to four colors).
The other one is an attention seeker (afraid to use that other term) and is very needy. She's half siamese, with a gorgeous black shiny fur.
Another is a male, and is quite muscular. He's named Garfield because he looks just like the cartoon character by Jim Davis. Another good name would have been Hulk, but he's not green, so ;P
The last one is also a male, white with a few black spots. I don't know, but I think he has coordination problems, he can't walk straight and is generally a bit on the stupid side o_O

There are a lot members with cats here ^^

And oni is right about rodents, they are smelly and they are also scary. I had a guinea-pig (his name was Loeki) and my mom gave it away because I was so scared of that thing. At first my sis and I didn't even notice it was gone until a friend of my sis said she had our guinea-pig :xd:
