quote: ORIGINAL: cuddleheart50 I have a Pomarainan That goes really well with the name "cuddleheart" [:D] We have four cats and an African Pygmy Hedgehog (guess she'd be an "other"!). One cat (Spazmo the Wonder Tabby) is obsessed with eating non-food items. One sleeps 20 hours a day, is otherwise a perfect lapcat, except she has a passionate hatred of styrofoam peanuts. One, at our best guess, is haunted by spirits, because he's constantly looking at things that we can't see- often following them around the room with his eyes or chasing after them. The other cat is a very pretty, but sad-looking fluffy who is submissive to all the others. i wouldn't say they run the house, but they certainly do make a mess of it. ...dave

I am currently owned by two horses, 1 cat, and 2 dogs. I'm well trained too, I fetch and carry, open any closed doors that might offend, I feed, I water, I cuddle, and I pet. I do it all..

Once I had a party at my house and we found out the cat likes watching porn. She also watches animal planet but has no interest in anything else. So I'm trying to figure out how the furball's mind links porn to animal planet.

sparkledaemon -> RE: Pet poll (3/15/2007 9:07:08 PM)
At the moment I have a German Shepherd mix, a Dumeril's boa, and an elderly tabby. I'm getting a few crested geckos and a rosehair tarantula next month.

Currently one homeless, passed along cat. She did have a home but was passed from my best friend's brother's girlfriends daughter, to my best friend's brother's girlfriend, to my best friend, and now to me. The cat must be enjoying it though, she's getting bigger along the way. And she's very playful, except when it comes to the big mechanical mouse she got as a toy. I think that scares her, no matter how much catnip you spray on it. Some people just don't understand keep to the basics, a small ball with a bell in it...yeash. Have owned in the past...dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, a snake, and a mouse. Dogs are my favorite and then cats and fish.

I have two dogs, three cats and three birds. One of the cats is an attention hound, but the cockatoo rules the roost. Even my rottweiler backs off when she's out of her cage.

WyrdRich -> RE: Pet poll (3/16/2007 8:51:44 PM)
Ok, funny story. We were dogsitting for two extras over a weekend and our kitten completely punked them. Ate out of their food dishes while they hid under my chair kind of stuff. She tried growling at our dog (wolf hybrid) by the water bowl, so he stepped on her tail and left his foot there while taking a leisurely drink. She yowled and attacked his leg, but he just pretended he didn't even know she was there. Wish I had video of that one.

By the time you get through all of that, they usually have at least one good bucking fit, lol! When you're dealing with horses it's wise to Never let your guard down, they can kill ya! I've had these since they were 6 mnths old. One now is 5 the other is 4. They have their ground work down pat and have been trained to be willing partners. It's not the first time they've carried a saddle or bit. We've been doing that for a couple of years now and pretty much everything you'd ask them to do from a saddle they can and will do on the ground. The only thing they haven't done is actually been riden, though the draft has had kids on him, so I really don't think they'll be much problem but I'm also not fool hearted enough to think that they'll be perfect. Since I waited longer to break them they also have more maturity on their side and I work with them enough with old lessons and new that they don't get stale. I have age and maturity on my side too and much more brittle bones then they used to be, lol. Actually, those 2 boys love to learn and have great attitudes about it. They try very hard to pick up what you're trying to teach them.

GeekyGirl -> RE: Pet poll (3/17/2007 8:45:56 AM)
awww, you have a draft! I love draft horses! Good luck with your guys...You're braver than I am. The last colt I "broke" nearly broke ME and now I am a wuss! I pay other folks to break my babies these days [:D]

Lost my Golden Retriever last year. Sweetest animal known to man. Drove a bear off one time when it showed up at the kitchen door. First AQHA gelding was an amazing animal. Essential in my daughter's treatment, he knew when she could control him and when she couldn't. On bad days he did all the work, would stand at the front of the stall and block anyone from coming in while she sat in the back and cried. As she slowly improved, he knew it and demanded more from her. These days she's showing high level AQHA shows and he isn't up to it. So he's at a therapeutic riding center where he became their best horse within a month, both mentally and physically challenged kids flock to him. Funniest story with him, so many to choose from. He got grumpy at shows if you didn't pour a cup of coffee with sugar, no milk, into his bucket first thing in the morning. Ate everything possible including a corn stalk he grabbed one day while walking and sucked into his mouth without chewing, just like a kid with a spaghetti strand. These days she's riding another registered quarter horse who is really good at what he knows but has panic attacks if you try anything new. He's great in the saddle and has terrible ground manners. He will bite the hand that feeds him so all treats go in the bucket. Came in during her lesson last week and she was working on showmanship. First time this year. Both she and the horse had identical grumpy expressions, they do not like this class. This despite the fact that they place well.
