Pointless pet thread

I enjoy showing off my dogs.  I have rats too, might post them later. Who else has pets?

You ever see the news videos

You ever see the news videos of old hotels in Vegas being demolished? I was thinking about renting out my dog for demolition work. By this time next year I'll be calling Habitat for Humanity. They'll ask me what happened and I'll tell them my dog ate my house. My dog in a piranha with fur.

I love my dog, but I am a cat man myself.

My dog BTW is a she but is named after Bob Spence. So if anyone calls Bob a bitch, they would be correct.

 Your dogs are clearly as crazy as you are. But stick to pet posts, your love for animals is one of the only things that makes you remotely appealing.

too many pets

We have 4 Australian Shepherds.  One nutty Border Collie.  One Lhasa x Pekingese - he is really, truly ugly.  My husband's dog, Chuckie and I cordially dislike each other.  Chuck doesn't bite me and I don't punt him into next week.  Cordial.  And assorted feeder fish for the pond.  I wouldn't buy $100 koi just to feed the local Heron. 10 fish for a $1 and if the Heron gets a few, oh, well.  Actually, we leave them out year round.  The pond usually freezes over at least once during the winter, but none have died from the cold.

Dogs - the yard looks like WWIII.  Mud everywhere and the grass is pretty thin.  We have "puppy" play date occasionally for the BC - Sparky - who is about a year old, a friend's German Shepherd who is 10 months old and 85 pounds, and another friend's mutt who is about 18 months.  They grab ass around - guess there is no surprise the yard is mostly mud.

The Aussies are mostly older.  Skye - 12, Sierra - 10, August - 11 (he is certifiably neurotic) and Casey - 4.  I had to put down my best buddy because of kidney cancer last November, so we are actually one dog short.

When we get the phone call - "buy an alarm system for your home!" - we just laugh.

My older dog, was never really destructive,  however she had one really bad habit. I was playing WoW, talking to people on ventrilo, when I notice everyone seemed to stop talking. So I say something and I'm talking, and no one responds. Yea my dog had walked by and like an alligator just chomped my headset cord.

She chomped 2 more headset cords before I got a desk mic so I could run the cord behind the desk. I have a wirelsss headset now ><. She's 3 years old now though and only chews up her squeak toys.

The little one (I have to leave her at home during the day she does not mind so she does not get to go to work with me) Likes to go outside and drag anything in she can find and tear it up in the bed. I went to bed once to find she had chewed a huge hole in the blanket. Having to check the bed for chewed up sticks, pecans and holey blankets is a ritual every night.

Brian, your cat looks like a

Brian, your cat looks like a bigger version of my cat.

My cat is my best friend. I got him from a rescue charity. He ran over every cat in the room like a speeding bullet train all the way from the other side of the room, and jumped on my leg hugging it and looked up at me and meowed. I looked down at him and thought to myself, "I'm toast".

My dog has eaten my screen porch screens. She has destroyed a keyboard, headset, tv power cable making the tv useless. Torn up the carpet in one room of the house, not to mention the pee and poo stains. I know it isn't her fault, but the only reason I keep her is because she loves my mom, who lives in a retirement home and we visit her. The dog was a "gift" from a co-worker who couldn't afford to keep her. I joke with him about his "gift" and often "thank him".

Despite all the destruction she is very affectionate and doesn't hold a grudge. I just wish they made an elephant tranquilizer sized prozac pill for her.
