What pets have you had?

[NickO'Time]

2 Beagles, One named Milo, the other Peaches. (He would eat peaches and spit out the pit.)
1 Bassett Hound- Fletch
2 Chihuahuas- Toby, Samantha.
10 cats, not all at once. Although 6 currently.
1 Cocker Spaniel, a childhood friend. Schroeder
4 goldfish,
1 Parakeet-Troy. He could talk with everyone. Very rare.
My dad has deer, a donkey by fate. And two cats.
My mom has one very needy dog named Sonic. He is a mutt, we just don't even know what he is.

Stand by your joke, soldier!

Who the hell is close to their fish?

Haha! A freak like me.

I'm the girl who spends a gazillion dollars trying to win fish at the carnival in order to "save them" from being neglected prizes.

I finally won Bubbles (that was her name) when I was in my mid-to late twenties. I went directly to Petco and bought everything under the sun to make Bubbles happy! Less then a week later, I woke my boyfriend up, shrieking that Bubbles wasn't moving. He got out of bed, all irritated, snapping at me and flushing Bubbles.

Later that day, when I came home from work, he surprised me with a beautiful big fishbowl. Inside, swimming, was a beautiful Betta fish. I named him "Digi" (we both worked in post-production, and a digi-beta is a commonly used type of tape format). Heehee..get it? Digi-beta? He felt bad for getting upset with me in his 1/2 slumber and the fact my little Bubbles passed away. That was so thoughtful & sweet of him.

I had Digi for a little over a year before he passed away (not that long after, my boyfriend passed away, too.) I cried as I said a little prayer before I flushed him down the toilet (the fish, not my boyfriend. We buried him, for goodness sake! We're not savages.)

That would make me the world's dumbest blonde and polak if I buried my fish and flushed my boyfriend down the toilet. Golly, give me some credit.

Now, I'm sitting here laughing hysterically! I'm also smiling up above as I wink toward the sky, Heavenward. I never thought I'd reach that point. Boy, I really wish we could laugh in person together as friends.

I've had at least 6 dogs, about 30 or so long-term cats, and lots of 'foster' ones. Also: zebra finches, gerbils, hamsters, fish and a turtle.

Well, that's how I read it anyway...

[Kevy Baby]

In youth a lot of dogs and cats. I remember a couple of weiner dogs (Hinkie and Missie), an English Sheep Dog mutt (Waldo) and a Scottie (I forget the name). We also had several mice, and I had a California King Snake. Oh, I also had an oscar - nasty little bugger related to the piranha.

With Susan, we've had a plethora of cats - all strays: Tiger, Willie, Femalé (pronounced as if it were a Spanish name: fey-mall-ee), Bindy (who was traded with MIL for Ally - as in McBeal: we kept Ally's name out of respect but Bindy got renamed by MIL) and Rufio.

We had several fresh water fish nut currently only have a Beta and with a placostamus.

And of course our Bearded Dragons:

• Gratch, Scarlett, and Bruisette (was named Bruiser until we had her sexed).
• Modo and Casper
• Bubble (his brother, Squeek, was recently adopted)
• Elvis
• Draco (named by Tori) and Nesbitt

And thousands of crickets, superworms (like mealworms on steroids) and baby mice: but those are food, not pets.
