Post some Hot Pets! :)

The desktop thread is getting some wonderful cat (and wannabe dog) pet pics in it. I'd like to see more. I would love to see others' furry (and feathered) (and scaled) (and carapaced?) (and metal-cased ???) companions.

Here's my little devil. The first three are from his younger, exploratory days (he remains curious, but he's mellowed it out a little--kind of like me!--and prefers guard duty these days over scouting).

Here's two of our pets, sunning and stretching out a bit in the warm summer sun.

Yes, they are not very portable. The largest there is a bit over 17' & 70+ lbs. (when we last weighed it about 6 months ago anyway) .. they are kewl pets though .. & not too much upkeep ... they eat about every 2 weeks ... and only eliminate their wastes at about the same rate. As they don't bark or cause any such related nuisances .. the neighbors don't complain as long as we keep them away from THEM.

You are gonna regret this...

Lady Emma (Emmalita, Emmers) My sweetheart.

I have another cat Louie, a long hair orange/white cat that is currently clipped in a lion cut and looks so ridiculous I point and laugh at him whenever possible.

Toba Bird...very smart parrot. Knows about 300+ sounds and phrases. Many of them are not appropriate. (See Bella for more info)

Java....my baby and my favourite bird. He's a screamer, but I'm deaf so I don't care *grin*

Elmo....he's gay, and horny. He's always masturbating...sigh. He ONLY likes males and other male birds.

That's my household I have one more parrot, Connor, a cockatoo (can't find his pic online) and a cockatiel, Mr Grey.

They are very fun pets.. yes. i fell in love with them the first time i held one. Having them draped over the shoulders with their length coiled downward around my waist and then further downward to my ankles .... feels heavenly. They are constantly moving. It feels like the worlds best massage. Handling them can be a very relaxing experience.

Oh my goodness! What an interesting household! I don't regret it in the least. Visiting you must be lots of fun.

i live in a cat house

i raise pedigreed Maine Coon cats.. and usually have dozen or more underfoot...knife play's got nothing on 18 kitten claws on naked skin...

What wonderful pets!

Sinnocent, those snakes are WOW!

Serijules, I adore African Greys! How old is yours? How long have you had him/her?

My dog gets very upset when he sees me packing up to travel. He climbs into my suitcase and hopes I won't notice that he's there. lol

I have had him about 4 years now, and he was 10 when I got him. It was kind of fate really. I had always wanted a Grey, but could never afford the $1500+ price tags on them. I worked in a bird-only pet shop in college, so I was very familiar with handling parrots. My brother worked with a couple that had Toba from when he was a baby...he was the light of their lives. Then they had a baby, and Toba HATED that baby with a passion. He would climb out of his cage and go find the baby and attack it. He started plucking his feathers...it was awful, he was so depressed, even though they still paid tons of attention to him. They finally decided for the safety of the baby to have Toba put in a new home. They asked my brother if I would want him, and I jumped at the chance!

Well, at the last minute the mother in law decided she would take him. I was sooooo bummed. She had him for a few years, but he didn't like her much, still plucked, and um, well, called her nasty names LOL. So year after I finally got over not getting him, they offered him to me again, for free.

He loves it here...he talks nonstop (unless someone is looking at him...he won't talk if someone is looking at him lol), his feathers all grew back, and he's learned hundreds of new words and phrases and sounds. The only bad thing about him is that he doesn't like to come out of his cage or be pet, something he used to love. So he's still a little tramatized by his life I guess, but he is happy so thats what matters. He really is a hoot. He tells Java (the noisy nanday) to "oh god shut UP!" all the time. LOL

All my pets are rescues or re-homes except Wyatt, who was purchased from a reputible breeder with the hopes of being a suitable assistance dog. He is amazing.

ROFLOL! Thanks so much for filling me in! I love hearing about his history. So glad you have him now. They are truly birds with personality. I have a friend who has an AG. She likes it when her husband comes home, so she immitates the sound of the key in the door turning the lock, and then the door opening. It freaks her out in the middle of the day when she's home alone! She also makes the sound of the microwave beeping, and follows it up with a cheerful, "Breakfast food!" in a British accent. <sigh> Someday I'd love to have an AG. I know it is a huge commitment to have a bird like that. I did an oil painting of my friend and her AG a long time ago.

Upon seeing this thread title I hungrily clicked it, expecting to see pictures of peoples' hot pets.

Imagine my surprise and dismay to find that the thread contains dogs and cats and not the human pets I was looking forward to. *pout*

That being said, cute animal pics are fun too.... I think TB's cat looks super cute (I love curious cats) and Sinn's snakes are fricking AWESOME!!

I like looking at all the other pets too. And trying to imagine the feeding schedule Serijules must go through every day to keep all those animals fed, lol.

OMG, I vote you have the best menagerie ever. A parrot that tells another parrot to shut up, a gay compulsive mastubrator (who's awfully pretty), and some of the best looking dogs I've ever seen, they look like dogs out of antique hunting paintings, all healthy and shiny and muscle.

Some friends of M's sister have an African Grey. He also does not deal well with handling, but he makes the sounds she makes during sex spot-on, much to her horror.

A friend of mine has a male cockatiel, who knows about 30 phrases and sounds. One of his favorite sounds is "car alarm".... He starts doing car alarm, and then their dog barks, and he yells "bad dog! bad dog!" which makes him bark some more. It goes on until someone intervenes. It's too funny. He also meows at the cats a lot.

Thank you I'm very proud of my Danes. Emma came to me at 15 months old, due with puppies withen a few days. The people that had her kept her outside, rarely fed her (danes are NOT outside dogs, especially not in ND), bred her when she was barely a year old to a male dane, and then decided it was too much work and had them both up for sale. I had just lost my dane to bloat, and I jumped at the chance to save this pair from being the "money making breeding machines" the owners were saying they could be :/ So I sold my beanie baby collection for $900 and bought them, got the male fixed and rehomed, and whelped a litter of 5 pups to a very sickly, underweight, way too young Momma Emma. Bella is one of her pups, and a spitting image of the father. I found all the pups homes and they are all now fixed...no more breeding from these guys!

Emma thrived after the pups were weaned, finally getting to be the dog she's supposed to be...an indoor, pampered couch potato. Both are obedience trained and are wonderful dogs, I adore them.

Haha, Toba does that and worse :/ I stopped having spanking partners over for playdates because of him!!

Toba drives my husband crazy. He mimics the dryer buzzer and telephone, microwave, etc. When you open the fridge, he makes water pouring or popcan opening sounds. He calls for my husband in my voice, and for me in my husbands voice. He meows, quacks, crows, barks, cries like a baby. He likes to sing the meow mix song from TV, but sometimes he will quack it instead. He mimics the Aflac duck. He whistles the theme song to the simpsons and sings "row row row your boat". When you turn on the shower, he plays that eerie song from the movie Psycho. He says Tickle Tickle!! and I'm gonna get your butt! when he wants to play. He LOVES TV and will spend hours mimicing the guy on the weather channel, or re-inacting fights between a man and a woman from I assume a soap opera...completely with door slamming and pathetic wailing.

He LOVES body noices. Coughing, sneezing, farting (sigh...), gargling, etc. If you pick up a tissue, he will "blow his nose". Last time my husband had the flu, all Toba would do for a week was make the sounds of someone being sick in the toilet. He loves power tools too and if you use a drill or a hammer, he will mimic that nonstop for months. When we had construction in front of the house last summer, Toba was in heaven, making that BEEP BEEP BEEP sound long after the trucks left.

He does an entire war scene from a show he watched once on the history channel....bombs, missels (sp??), machine guns and HELP ME HELP ME!. He does a few famous impressions including Arnolds "I'll be back" and Jim Carreys' "Alllllrighty then!" He loves rock and roll music and dances and headbangs and says WOOHOO!!! when you play the stereo. I could go on and on and on...he's awesome. His name is actually Toby, but I guess he doesn't like that as he calls himself "Toba BIRRRRD!" in a superhero kind of way. He recognizes all my pets and calls them by name, including my cats, whom he will taunt over with a "here kitty kitty!" and then bite them on the nose and laugh in a really evil voice. He tells the dogs to "Sit, Emma, SIT!" or "Bella, No, GET bACK HERE!" (she isn't allowed on the side of the house he is one, and when she sneaks over there, thats what we say to her) or "God damnit dog!" (she's in trouble a lot). He shouts out BYEBYE! whenever you walk out of the room and asks "Want a bite?" if you give him food.

One of his best moments though, was when I had him out in the shop with me once, and a client came in all upset over something. She was yelling at me and being very rude. She turned to leave and said "I'm leaving, just forget it" and Toba, who had been very quiet up until then says very clearly "Fine, and don't you come back!!!!!" She didn't believe my secretary when we said it was the bird LOL.

He would be a hit on Leno...but he just will not talk in front of strangers. When people come over and want to see him in action, we sit in the next room and listen to him because if he can see you, he won't say anything at all. Little shit!

Lady Guenhwyvar - Momma, ladyface, ladybaby, stinky. Shes a black lab, pitbull mix, all black except a little white heart on her chest.. M and I took her from a home that had 3 other dogs die on them... we weren't about to let a 4 mo old puppy die at the hands of stupid owners. Shes a voracious little bitch, but loves to cuddle ... rules the roost... and is protective. She doesn't make friends easily, you have to gain her trust
I call her stinky from time to time because she got skunked twice in a week last summer - the name just kinda stuck. Shes almost 2 years old now.

Dominick - or Dom, dommie, monkey face, sneaky.. etc...
Is a Husky Chocolate lab mix... we got him from a breeder that breeds huskies... the nextdoor neighbor's chocolab got to her husky bitch one night when she was in heat.. and.. a free liter of puppies later, M and I bring home Dom. She said her female usually produces one pure white male per liter ... in the dark he seemed all white, but really he has a tiny bit of tan around his ears, eyes, down his back and the tip of his tail. He could have been $700, but since he was a mutt the owner gave him and his brother/sisters out for free. We thought he would rule over the house, but really hes a little bitchy cuddly kissy wimp ... we call him sneaky bc he has no shame batting at doors till they open in M's apartment. He is almost a year old.

Mya is a pure breed Golden Retriever. Shes my parent's dog. They got her after they moved into their new house last summer to help my younger siblings make friends and have someone to keep them company. Of course whenever I visit its my mother and I taking car of the pup. Shes a lovey baby and isn't allowed on the couch.. so of course I took a picture of her laying on it
Mya is almost a year old now too.

Oh, I soooo want to come over to play! lol

Your post about your AG's verbal abilities still has me in stitches.

Awwww, such cute pets! I love the snakes!!! I keep bunnies, I started with Cali who is my baby even though he is more like a grumpy old man now! lol
Here's his royal highness here with his best of breed ribbon from the fall fair.

Here are the four baby bunnies that I picked up from a farm just out of town, they had bought a rabbit as a pet for their kids and it ended up having babies! They were adorable, but when we moved I had to give them away since we just didn't have the room at our new place.

Just having all those animals together in one house and interacting would make for a constantly entertaining floor show, but that clever bird is something else. It must never be boring around there.
